Shoko Hamada: Idol of the Week
Not all of us are thrilled by the prospect of watching flimsy, vrooming death-traps circle a few kilometers of track for lap after endless lap as a means of entertainment, but it’d take a heart of stone indeed to not be moved by the charming set of ladies that motorsports bring to the table — at their lovely feet at least the claim of inducing boredom could never be laid.
In this regard the gorgeous Shoko Hamada is one among many, but one glance at her pics and you’ll see she’s most definitely in pole position.
‘Race Queen’, of course, is not the only title to adorn the divine Ms. Hamada’s CV. When she’s not heating things up trackside, the 25-year old stunner can be found posing for any number of scintillating gravure collections, appearing in DVDs, TV Dramas and even blockbuster video games (check out her cameo on a poster in MGS3, Snake fans) and releasing CDs (mostly cover versions to be sure, but let’s cut the lady some slack — clearly her schedule is already fit to burst). This smoldering beauty has her fingers in a lot of pies, and we’re all the more grateful for it.
With such a wealth of material available across audio and visual media, it goes without saying that this is a lady who you should take the time to investigate further in the future. For now though, here are a few fine example shots to whet your collective appetite. Gentlemen, start your engines!
