Los Angeles, March 21 (IANS): Former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson was worried that she would look less feminine when making love after chopping off her blonde locks for a short hairdo.

Anderson, who re-married her ex-husband Rick Soloman earlier this year, spoke about her fears in the April issue of ELLE magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"At first I thought I looked like Anderson Cooper or like a Q-tip or something. But now I feel really powerful," she said.

"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'.

"I thought it would be weird having sex with short hair, but then I kind of got into the mode," added the 46-year-old.

Anderson had first married Soloman in October 2007 before separating less than two months later. Before that, she was married to rocker Tommy Lee, 51, with whom she has sons Brandon, 17, and Dylan, 16. They divorced in 1998 after three years of marriage.

She was also briefly married to Kid Rock in 2006.
