Hollywood Tuna thinks Pamela Anderson is too old to be a stripper, presenting several photos of her performing with some outfit called the Pussycat Dolls.

Here is a sampling, covering the relevant angles:

Frankly, I think she’s still got the chops. But, still, HT has a point when he writes, “I like strippers that are between the ages of 19 and 28. Why not 18 or 29? Well, an 18 year old is too young to make decision that will eventually f— up their life and a 29 year old is too old to be doing something an 18 year old should be doing.”

Like a past-their-prime athlete, aging sex symbols are sometimes a sad thing to behold. Still, when one’s whole identity is based on a certain skill set that has brought fame and fortune, it’s hard to hang ‘em up while there’s still something left in the tank.
