To be sure, there’s something uneasy-making about hearing Mulaney describe some of the Oklahoma softball and oklahoma golf shirt and I will buy this lowest points of his life, but he’s always done that; said low points just happened to be more distant than they are now. It’s also not difficult to imagine the healing potential of hearing Mulaney talk openly about struggling with mental health issues and a long-dormant drug dependency during COVID for the many people dealing with the same. I’m sure there will be dad humor in Mulaney’s future, but I appreciate that he resisted the temptation to make this first post-relapse special entirely (or even largely) about his son. To do so might have felt like a cheap attempt at image PR rather than the rich, complex, occasionally painful deep-dive into addiction that Baby J ended up being.
Pamela Anderson knows her way around a bathing suit. The actor, model, and newly minted memoirist says, “I’m always in a bathing suit. I’ve tried everything, so I’m a pretty good connoisseur when it comes to swimwear.” On May 4th, she’s releasing a capsule collection with Frankies Bikinis that applies all the Oklahoma softball and oklahoma golf shirt and I will buy this lessons she’s learned about swimwear with the sexy ’90s aesthetic we’d expect from Anderson. And yes, there’s a red one piece with high-cut legs, straight out of Baywatch. Understandably, Anderson has been approached many, many times to make a swimwear collection. It was always something she was interested in, and she wanted to be hands-on. Still, she had a special connection with Frankies Bikinis founder Francesca Aiello: she watched her grow up in Paradise Cove in Malibu, California. “Frankie was making little bathing suits when I was there and putting bathing suits in my mailbox,” Anderson remembers. “I am so honored to be partnering with Pamela on this collection, she is such an icon in the swimwear world, and a massive inspiration to women across the world,” Aiello says.Aiello wrote Anderson a letter later in life about how Anderson was an inspiration to her, and, well, how could Anderson say no? In working with Aiello, the Baywatch star was able to make a collection that was less sexy and more true to her. Following the release of her memoir, Love, Pamela, and the documentary about her life, Pamela, A Love Story, audiences are primed to see Anderson as a human rather than a sex symbol—or, in this case, as someone who knows their way around functional swimwear as much as skimpy bikinis. “There’s a practicality, it’s not just about posing on the beach for pictures,” Anderson says of the collection.
