Aubrey O’ Day is officially gracing the March cover of Playboy. “You know, I think that Playboy for me was one of the most liberating things that I’ve done as a woman,” she said. “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.” As far as the shoot is concerned, she agreed to it only because Markus Klinko was the photographer (he has previously done photos for Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Pamela Anderson) and because they both wanted something that was “classy, iconic and truly beautiful.” Aubrey was allegedly paid $500,000.
