Just tell me where I can buy the bra.

I am not really one to watch award shows, let alone the Juno Awards, (where the vast majority of people winning awards I have never heard of), but I gather organizers thought this year’s Juno Awards would be something special when Pamela Anderson agreed to host.

The Globe and Mail offers a snippet of Anderson’s edgy repartee:
HALIFAX — Pamela Anderson took her anti-seal-hunt campaign on national television last night, launching the 2006 Juno Awards show with a blunt denunciation of the hunt.

"I don't mind seeing a little blood on the ice if it's a hockey game," she said. "But as you know, I hate seeing blood on the ice when it's baby seals."
To boos from the capacity crowd at the Halifax Metro Centre, Ms. Anderson said, "I can take it, I can take it." She also joked that "one of my favourite artists couldn't get here tonight: Seal," referring to the British soul-hop singer. "He was afraid he was going to get clubbed."

Ms. Anderson's ripostes went unchallenged until late in the broadcast, when presenter Jann Arden quipped: "I want everyone to know that my brassiere is entirely made of seal eyelid."

I like clarity, and by gosh, Pamela Anderson delivers it. When she opened her mouth, she effectively proved and removed all doubts that there was any possible collation between the size of her breasts and the size of her brain. I can’t wait to see who they ask to host next year – Bridgette Bardot or Sir Paul and wife? Personally, I would enjoy watching Heather Mills McCartney go on a rant against Canadians drinking milk between presenting.

Years ago I approached the receptionist of a place I did business with on a regular basis. The young woman had decided to try out one of those push up bras, wearing what could have been a waitress uniform at any Vegas casino with lots of flesh showing. I stood there, having had a perfectly good question to ask prior to being met with an eyeful of brest material, my mouth dropped and I my brain cramp lasted long enough to explain my situation. "So, you like my new dress?", was all she asked as I smiled back with a very old boyish grin.

I'd like to see that baby seal eyelid bra too...

I think the fact that she was in Canada hosting the Junos means that her career is on the slide.

That's unless she was up here to get a scandal going in the Canadian government (Peter Mackay) and use it for blackmail to push her seal campaign.

Harper wouldn't bite, but I'm sure Pete would.
