Art

Busty "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson has been turned into a shiny pair of conjoined twins by artist Marc Quinn.

The bronze sculpture is part of a show about people who have transformed themselves. (Another sculpture is of singer Michael Jackson, so you get the picture.)

Quinn said at the opening that he focused on "people who have decided to change the outside of their bodies to fit how they feel inside."

Quinn also did sculptures of much more extreme cases, including a man who changed his face to look like a cat, and Thomas Beattie, the "man" (he was born female) who became pregnant.

So why did he pick Pammy? Because unlike several other of his subjects, "Pamela's done it within the mainstream in a way."
