My Take
Carmen Electra strikes me as one of pop culture's great self-inventions. A girl named Tara Leigh Patrick from suburban Ohio decided who she wanted to be, picked a stage name with electricity built into it, and became shorthand for late-90s American glamour. People dismiss sex symbols as accidents of genetics, but I see craft here: she moved between music, modeling, film, and television with the timing of someone who understood exactly what each era of celebrity wanted. The persona has outlived the trends that created it, and that longevity, to me, is the surest proof there was always a sharp operator underneath the image.
