Last October, “Baywatch” bombshell Pamela Anderson, whom fans had known since forever with long, waving blonde hair, pulled a fast one on them and debuted a brand new, still blonde but considerably much shorter ‘do, a fashionable pixie. She now admits getting used to it was a bit more difficult than she expected.

The star is featured in the latest print issue of Elle magazine and, in the online preview, she talks a bit about her pixie cut and how it affected even her love life. Fans probably know that Pamela has remarried her ex-husband Rick Solomon, so we’re guessing this didn’t sit all that well with him at first.

Luckily, it all worked out in the end, she assures us.

As for her first reaction upon looking into the mirror the first time after the haircut, Pamela admits it was a shock even for her.

“At first I thought I looked like Anderson Cooper or like a Q-tip or something. But now I feel really powerful. I have a friend who is an awesome, studly man, and he goes, ‘You know, some women cut their hair and it makes them look even more masculine, but you look even more feminine’,” Anderson explains.

And, since the haircut came as a powerful shock for all those who knew her since her “Baywatch” or Playboy days, Pamela also reminisces a bit about her rise to international fame, back in the day when her long blonde hair was one of her trademarks.

“I told Hugh Hefner, ‘I have this crazy boyfriend’,” she says of the Playboy mogul. “And Hef was like, ‘You’re not going anywhere with a crazy boyfriend,’ and so he put me in a mansion in Bel-Air with an opera singing Chinese maid, and I was driving a Bentley, and a friend of mine came by and was like, ‘What is going on? Why are you living in this mansion?’ And I was like, ‘Isn’t this what happens when people move to LA?’”

She eventually found out that this isn’t what normally happens when people move to LA but, by that time, she was already very famous. Famous and dating some of the baddest boys in the industry, mostly rock stars.

Anderson is now of the opinion that her fascination with bad boys might have taken her a bit too far, even turning her into some sort of “cartoon” character. Elle promises that the full interview will reveal that she was never that in real life and that she’s more than just a gorgeous exterior because she’s also smart.

It will be out at newsstands on March 23, by the way.
