If you’ve watched even just one episode of HBO’s True Blood, it might have been easy to overlook Pam Swynford de Beaufort, misjudging her as merely Eric’s assistant or failing to appreciate her artful use of latex. However, her deadpan humor and deep appreciation for fashion have won us over. Pam gets a lot of attention for what she wears—most recently the yellow Walmart sweatsuit—but we’re more intrigued by what she might be carrying in that handbag of hers. It’s surely designer, like this one from Valentino. And it’s likely filled with all of the afterhours essentials: teeth whitener to remove blood stains, some bondage rope that doubles as a necklace, and a classic pink cardigan because she’s really a good girl gone bad. We could go on and on, because honestly, we’ve got a bit of a girl crush. Sorry, Sookie, our T-shirts say “Team Pam.”  ­—Megan Hayes
