We caught up with the model-turned-memoirist on common BC ground outside her house in smalltown Ladysmith. Over the course of two bright blue days, Pam exchanged her at-home uniform of gardening boots and jeans for pieces from the Babaton Fall 23 Collection.

Was she overdressed for the beach? Of course. But the thing about Pam is, she doesn’t subscribe to norms. Because she’s Pam — a woman who does what she loves, whether that means building a garden the size of a city block (you should see it) or mowing the lawn in a full suit.
