Lowe posed for pictures with Australian model Catherine McNeil with only a large tyre slung round their waists to cover their modesty.

Eleven women took part in the shoot. They included UK models Lily Cole, who floated under water, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who posed on the beach in a pair of white knickers with a number "10" slogan.
A video of the making of the calendar was shown at its press launch in London today, which also showed Lowe spraying herself with a water hose.
Semi-naked models spent time running across beaches in exotic locations and mud wrestling, also using tyres and even a rooster as props.
Lowe did not appear to have any qualms about stripping off.
She told reporters: "It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week."
The 2010 Pirelli Calendar, now in its 37th edition, was shot by American photographer Terry Richardson, known for his outrageous and provocative approach.
The 30 images were billed as "a return to the natural, authentic atmospheres and images of the '60s and '70s" where "naturalness prevails over technique".
Richardson told reporters he was "very excited" to be asked to shoot the calendar.
Put to him that the models all looked very young, he said: "I did not really take into consideration anything about age or anything ... I work with girls that I know. Obviously everyone's 18 or older."
