Behold Pammy, in all her glory, at RichieRich's New York Fashion Week show. Why he wheeled out the 41-year-old mother of two in a bejewelled, gold lame swimsuit is obvious. But the real question is, is she doing us a favour by shaking herself up and down a runway, or is she just scaring the beejesus out of us? Is she somehow empowering middle-aged mothers, or is she just making the majority feel inadequate? Is she adding to her legacy of "work", or starting to taint her image, a la Madonna? There's no denying she looks cracking in some shots, while in others, a little unnerving. And why do we find it as such? For someone fabled as having a high level of intelligence (Vivienne Westwood has gone on record to say she finds her highly inspiring company), why wouldn't you want to portray yourself in such a way? Does she get off on playing dumb? If so, how does that impact on the female gender? Or is she simply just having a laugh?
Apologies, I'm feeling very confused right now and need some opinions outside my marginally aroused/envious/pitying/screaming brain. Given the feedback on other sites, the general consensus isn't favourable. What say you?
