Ways to Spice Up Pamela Anderson's 'Biker Girlfriend' Brand|
Pamela Anderson is selling a rare print by photographer Richard Prince from his ‘Easy Ride’ collection. The image belongs to a series of photographs of biker girlfriends, something people like Pamela Anderson, “a small-scale art collector,” have found to be a strong investment. “I am having to sell this photo and it kills me,” the former Baywatch babe said. “We adore each other,” she said of Prince. “And plan on working together soon on surprise projects.” Trend Hunter has featured a lot of biker innovations, so we can thank Pamela Anderson for the inspiration for this slideshow.
