PamAndTommy’s pose of class consciousness is current to discourse, but the flattening of the wronged woman character at its center is not. rabbitwhite writes
Photo: Erin Simkin/ HULU In the ’90s, it was practically an urban legend. Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s first date was in Cancún. They took ecstasy, stared into each other’s eyes for two days, and swiftly found an officiant to marry them. The wedding party was small, consisting of girls the bride and groom had met the night before at a local bikini contest, the winner serving as maid of honor.
If Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are part of a great love story, it’s set in a specific time and place. Clinton had just been elected on the principle of “It’s the economy, stupid.” The dot-com bubble, yet to burst, created upper-middle-class jobs while welfare “reform” pushed many Americans to extreme levels of poverty and hunger. When he wasn’t playing the saxophone on Arsenio Hall, the president was talking about his crime bill and a push for more police.
The character James and the Pam & Tommy writers created without Anderson is far more simple. Pam is the nice girl who fell for the wrong guy. She’s the SWERF fantasy: a woman so used to pleasing men that she can’t stand up for herself. All we see are the tropes: Pam’s the pinup, she’s the bombshell, she’s the bimbo.
