Ultrahot TV presenter and daughter of F1 bigshot, Bernie Ecclestone, is following in the footsteps of many a ultrahottie before her by posing in the Cult of PETA’s anti-fur photoshoot.

Twenty-three year old Tamara Ecclestone was pictured with nothing but a checkered flag strategically placed on her body. They used the slogan “Going Fur-Free Is the Winning Formula”. Miss Ecclestone said she did the shoot because she thinks wearing fur is more about vanity than about fashion, whatever that means.

“I enjoy going to fashion shows and I enjoy seeing what’s new and fantastic but I just don’t understand how fur is necessarily fashionable,” she said “I just think it’s terrible to harm living animals all in the name of vanity… it’s completely unnecessary.”
Check out the pics:

Tamara Ecclestone for PETA

Thankfully, the Ecclestone in question isn’t Bernie [love ya Bernie, but only with your shirt on] but rather one of his daughters, Tamara Ecclestone. Pictured above wearing nothing more than a checkered flag, Tamara Ecclestone’s new set of racy ads were created for PETA in order to combat what is currently the nation’s most pressing concern - animal rights.

Part of PETA’s “I would rather go naked than wear fur,” Tamara’s dedication to the slightly irritating cause follows in the wake of similar devotion expressed by fellow Formula 1 family members, Jensen Button and the Schumachers.

Personally, I say: way to go Tamara! There’s nothing more courageous then a quasi-celebrity using her status as a public figure to champion a cause that’s completely irrelevant in today’s crumbling society. You go girl!

As you may know, one of the biggest automotive events in the civilized world, The Paris Motor Show, started this past Saturday. Right now, Paris is crawling with the top names in the automotive business, executives and designers and engineers and general enthusiasts. Also, automotive journalists. They’re all checking out the interesting new concepts and production vehicles being debuted. It’s a blast, I hear.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it since I had a special engagement with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Every year we watch the first Eagles/Redskins matchup of the season. The Lama’s a lifelong Redskins fan. So here I am, in a secret monastery deep in the mountains of Tibet, with my #12 Randall Cunningham jersey and a laptop. The views are beautiful here, but I’ll be honest, I would have liked to have seen the new Ferrari California in person. Still, if past experience has told me anything, it’s that you don’t turn down a personal invitation from the spiritual leader of any large number of people, exiled or no.

Nevertheless, I have my responsibilities as an automotive journalist to bring you the important news of the world, promptly and with unbiased objectivity. So here is a sampling of Jalopnik.com’s coverage of hot girls from Paris:

It’s almost auto show season, and in celebration we’d like to take this time to honor one of the greatest accessories ever invented for the modern automobile: the Auto Show Girl. From Paris to Tokyo to Detroit, the girls of the auto show are undeniably hot and definitely deserve a salute for standing for hours at a time in 4 inch heels, smiling incessantly in the face of open-mouthed guys fumbling for their camera phones.

So here’s to you ladies [especially to the woman in the 4th picture down after the jump whom our sources indicate stumbled across this photo from an event she worked and was surprised to find that it had been filed by the event sponsor under "dumb blonde and red Ferrari". Although we have no idea who she is, we're almost positive she'd like to instruct whoever tagged the photo to "Suck it hard, jackass," -ahem- or something to that effect...].

And to you, RideLust readership, you’re welcome in advance.

Jillian Grace the hot motorcycle chick

Jillian Grace is in the news right now as the mother of David Spade’s baby. But she’s also a hottie who knows a thing or two about ride-lust. Not only did she pose in Playboy but in this picture you can see her posing as a biker chick.

I was doing a little bit of browsing on eBay motors today [I wasn't joking when I said it's highly addicting] and I came across the photo pictured above of a 2002 BMW M3. The girls in the picture made me laugh, especially the one on the left who appears to be absolutely enraptured with the BMW logo. 

The picture reminded me of a few pretty sizable misconceptions that men who drive luxury and/or sports cars have. So, as an import car model myself, and a girl who is admittedly attracted to hot cars [ipso facto the guys that drive them], there are a few myths I’d like to debunk for the sports car enthusiast population [read: guys].
