Pamela Anderson made us stop in our tracks when she walked into the fall 2017 Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan this past February. The 49 year old former Playmate looked refreshingly demure in a black floral dress with matching ornate sunglasses and lady-like pointed-toe heels. The look, to put it plainly, won fashion.
And it wasn't a one-off moment, either. Since then, Anderson, best known for peeling off the layers is instead revealing a very different side of herself when it comes to fashion. Her new M.O. takes a decidedly less-is-more stance—but not in the way you're probably thinking. There are no bold one-piece bathing suits, no signs of Anderson holding onto the in-your-face, sultry appeal that made her famous.
Her new look is indeed sexy, but it's surprisingly minimal. This June, Anderson stepped out in London in a wrap dress (above). A wrap dress?! We'd honestly never expect to see "wrap dress" and Pamela Anderson in the same sentence, but it happened, and it worked. The model, actress, and—by the way—busy philanthropist, kept it simple in the best possible way with black pumps, retro sunnies, and a Goyard bag you'd easily tote to, say, Whole Foods.

Since her high-wattage appearance at the Dolce show, the star has sat front row at Vivienne Westwood, hit the red carpet at Cannes, and hopped from one glitzy gala to the next. Generally, she's gravitating to formulaic looks that work for her. There are sleeveless gowns with a deep-V. Cap-sleeve LBDs that bump up the elegance. High-neck pantsuits that fall loosely yet somehow flatter. And, because it's Pamela Anderson, there are also a few pieces that could win a best-supporting award for helping show off her cleavage.

The woman is on fire—and, if she's reading this, we're asking for more.
Scroll down to see the looks that have made 2017 the year Pamela Anderson nails it in fashion.
1. In An Off-The-Shoulder Dress
What's better than a day at the beach? At day at the beach with a dog that could easily be featured in a pup magazine. Anderson and her canine friend hit the shores and we couldn't help but love her look, too. She kept it breezy in a blue striped off-the-shoulder dress with a geometric oversize belt, sunglasses, and a wicker, basket-like tote bag.
2. A Wrap Dress? On Pamela Anderson? Yes, please.
3. Nailed it.
4. Hello, blonde bombshell
5. Embellished Cut-Outs? Floral Appliqué? Pink Pumps? Yes, Yes, Yes,
6. The LBD is always a reliable choice.
7. And then there's the one-shouldered LBD with bling.
8. Sometimes, Angelic works.
9. Every now and then, va-va-voom works.
10. Yes, she Cannes! Now that's a gown, folks.
11. An over-the-shoulder coat? Impossibly chic.
12. We're getting '50s Grease vibes.
13. Shine bright like Pamela Anderson.
14. Bold Red = Fire-Hot.
15. Because Florals Always Lead to a Win.

"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." — Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)
It's very difficult when writing a blog to know just how much to share with your readers. As a writer, I want to touch my readers' hearts. I want them to read what I write and say, "Oh my gosh. I know exactly what she's talking about!", or "I SO get where she's coming from." At the same time, I don't want to share so much that it portrays people in my life in a bad light; because there are two sides to every story, and you are really only hearing mine. Suffice it to say, because of poor choices I have made in the past, my life has not exactly gone the way I had hoped; but I am hopeful that some of my mistakes can be used for good in teaching others not to do what I did.
Lesson #1: Do NOT marry someone until you have dealt with your "stuff."
When I married my husband, I knew I did not love him. I did know he was a good Christian man, and he had a good heart; and I truly believed that God would help me grow to love him in time. I was 28 years old, desperately wanted to be a wife and mother, and felt the biological clock ticking. I had just come out of a four-year off-again-on-again relationship with a man whom I loved more than anything but who had no intention of marrying me anytime soon because of family pressure on his side. It was actually this man who sat in church with me one day, looked out over the congregation, saw my future husband in one of the front rows, pointed and said, "You should go out with that guy." My initial reaction was, "Oh my gosh. No way. He is SO not my type!" (Now I realize that many of you highly-intelligent readers will be asking, "Why did you go out with this guy for four years when he is telling you to go out with other people?") Can I just say, "It's what insecure people do." It's also what led me to marry my husband.
Which brings me back to dealing with our stuff…
We can drag an awful lot of baggage, which we aren't even aware of, into our marriages. Are you familiar with any of these:
- Insecurity
- Low self-esteem/unworthiness
- Unresolved relationship issues
- Poverty (lack of money or love)
- Emotional/physical/verbal abuse
- Codependency
- Anger
- Mental health issues
If you haven't dealt with them BEFORE you tie the knot, trust me when I say that you WILL deal with them at some point after. All of the baggage mentioned above comes with a bountiful set of emotions. Emotions get triggered in our brains from the darnedest things… a sound, a smell, a touch, a look, a word, etc. You may think that you can suppress emotions, but they can only be suppressed for so long. Emotions are alive, so suppressing them is like burying something alive. They will eventually erupt and find their way out; and when they do, it isn't pretty!
I've been married for 19 years. I can honestly say, it has been a struggle from Day 1. On my wedding night, I was crying because I had a new last name. Please don't misunderstand me. I had every intention of changing my name when I got married. It wasn't having a new last name that was the problem; it had everything to do with thinking, "Oh my gosh, I can't go back. I've made a horrible mistake. This is not what I wanted." I don't come from a belief system that says, "Get married today and divorced tomorrow." I had made a covenant before God. This was serious business. For what it's worth, my husband was probably feeling the same way. All of the sudden he was faced with a hysterical wife who was not at all like the woman he thought he had married.
In retrospect, I think I was more in love with the IDEA of getting married (the ring, the dress, the flowers, walking down the aisle) than I was with the man I had agreed to marry. Also, in my insecurity, I didn't believe anyone else would ever ask me to marry him. My husband did; therefore, I thought I better jump at the opportunity.
I had had similar feelings (that I was making a mistake) that morning but had brushed them off as wedding-day jitters. At that point, I remember thinking, "I can't back out now. Everyone has flown out here for the wedding. My parents have put a lot of expense into this."
Both of us have lamented the fact that we did not have premarital counseling before our wedding day. We were supposed to have it. We even went to our first session; unfortunately, right in the middle of it, our pastor got an emergency phone call and had to end the session. We somehow never rescheduled. I think the pastor thought, "These are two mature individuals who obviously love each other, both from good Lutheran stock, so they will be fine." (Of course, I have no idea what he was actually thinking. Pre-marriage counseling for us may have just slipped his mind.) I do think, though, that many of the conflicts we have struggled with over the years would have surfaced in those counseling sessions, and we could have been spared quite a bit of the heartache we've experienced (or at least been a little bit more prepared for it).
So, why are we still married? In this Married-Today-Divorced-Tomorrow Age, I'd like to think it's because neither one of us can come to terms with breaking the covenant we made before our God; and we're both too stubborn to give up. In reality, it isn't because of anything WE are thinking or doing. The truth is that God is the third strand in our cord, and where our two strands have broken, His is holding on. That means there is a purpose in all of this. That means that just as an ugly ragged-edged rock can be put into a tumbler and bounced all over for days on end and come out a beautiful gem, our marriage has the potential to come out of this as a beautiful thing to show others. It means that all of the junk our children are being forced to wade through is strengthening them and building them up for service to others. They will have a sense of compassion and empathy from having "been there" that will give them remarkable insight in helping others through the maze. I have also come to realize that divorce does not separate us from our stuff. If not dealt with, our stuff follows us into any marriage we enter into.
Maybe you are in a similar place. Maybe you're about to get married and you realize you're not getting married for the right reasons. Maybe you're already married, were lucky enough to have been in love when you walked down the aisle, but now find you have drifted apart. Maybe you're struggling with a wayward or mentally-ill child, and it is wreaking havoc in your marriage. (I have a daughter who is ADHD/NLD/and borderline Asperger's. Trust me when I say I KNOW the havoc mental health issues inflict on a marriage.) Maybe you are a single person who feels the only way you can be loved is to sleep with every person who asks you to with the hope that maybe one of them will propose. Maybe you are the child of an alcoholic who has become a workaholic to compensate for the love you never got, and you've reached the point where you realize you've accumulated a lot of things but you have no one to pass them on to.
We all have issues. We all struggle. But there is hope. We CAN deal with our stuff before it deals with us. We CAN break the cycle that we're in … be it codependency, verbal abuse, anger. We CAN stop it. It isn't easy. It means making some tough decisions, but remember that it is for your good and the good of those who come after you. Dare to be the difference in your future child (or grandchild's life). Dare to be the one who breaks the chain. And remember… the best thing you can do is to deal with it BEFORE you get married!
Holding on in Christ…
Lori Lynn
Dear Lord… Thank you for being the third strand in my frayed and broken cord. Without you, I would have been done a long time ago. Continue to show me in a myriad of ways that You have a purpose in all that I am going through and give me the strength to continue holding on until beauty shines through. Give me the courage to change what I know needs to be changed; if not for my sake, for my children's sake. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

[Audio] – The Beat – "Mirror In the Bathroom" (1980)
The Beat – "Mirror In the Bathroom" (1980)
This is UK Ska Revival at its best, in my opinion–borrowing heavily from 60s ska but not slavishly imitating it, pushing the artform (without breaking from it, as with Specials AKA or Fun Boy Three). There's an itchy urgency to this track, with its perfect beat and double-time rhythm guitar, with that booming echo-drenched guitar line doubling up the careening bassline. It all adds up to the coolest take on paranoid (drug-fueled?) narcissism/obsession I can imagine. Catchy doesn't do it justice–this is infectious. [The Beat are featured in a '1981' mix and a 'Post-Punk Miniatures' mix at Musicophilia.]
