As we all know, Aubrey O’Day somehow finagled herself a Playboy spread and cover. Yeah, your guess is as good as ours. Well, the March cover has finally been leaked and a few choice quotes from Aubrey concerning the pictures, how she sees herself as an elegant, non-conformist who is just trying to be true to herself, and how empowering it is to be naked have leaked.

more photos after the hop…

She told MTV.com:

“You could never imagine how empowering it is to be nude in front of cameras and have people looking at you in that way and seeing you as beautiful,” she told MTV News. “You’re seeing yourself as beautiful. I mean, a lot of the times I think I’m seen as a bad girl, and I think that’s because I’m so open. “It’s going to be very elegant, very iconic,” she emphasized. “We wanted to do something very beautiful and classic. And I’m very excited about, just in general, how liberating the shoot was and how great it’s going to be to express myself and be comfortable with my sexuality. I think in society we tend to put ourselves in boxes and corners and restrict ourselves, and we constantly feel the need to not say this or not wear this … and taking it all off and being nude is the most natural state that you can be in.”

Wow. Maybe somebody should tell Aubrey she’s flashing her private parts in Playboy—not some artsy Annie Leibowitz photography, coffee table book sold at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ah, well. Live and let spread.
