October 11, 2008/11.02

On the Lucire site today, Croat-English TV presenter Tamara Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, has posed nude (save for a chequered flag) for PETA’s campaign featuring celebrities who would “rather go naked than wear fur”. Head over to the PETA blog for a video taken on the day of the shoot featuring […]

If you look at the shoot ‘Wednesday’s Child’ in issue 26 of Lucire in New Zealand (photographed by Doug Rimington, styled by Sara Smeath, make-up and hair by Kaori Harigae, and modelled by Clemency of Chadwick Models), you might think these are familiar. These unpublished black-and-white shots are off Doug’s ?lm camera, and we’re thinking […]
