Allure magazine's May 2012 issue special "n*de" feature was back by popular demand.
Among the beauties baring all this time around were Maria Menounos, Debra Messing, Taraji P Henson, Leslie Bibb and Morena Baccarin.
Highlights from each ladies brief interviews are as follows
MARIA MENOUNOS
On her teen beatuy pageant low swimsuit scores:
"I was hippy and I didn't diet for contests. And it didn't bother me."
On not being comfortable baring all:
"I have some serious issues here," she admitted. "But I want to get over that. This was definitely challenging, but I feel so much better having done it."
DEBRA MESSING
On her decision to pose nude coming from a natural process of self-acceptance:
Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body. I love my body in a way I never have before."
On the parts she loves the most:
"My shoulders, clavicle, and chest. I started out in dance—there's something beautiful about a dancer's upper body. I love strapless dresses."
LESLIE BIBB
On going on a four-day juice cleanse to get ready for her shoot: "It was an angry four days. Sam [Rockwell, her boyfriend] was like, 'Thank God I'm not with you right now. You are not nice on the juice cleanse.'"
TARAJI P. HENSON
On what her friends will think:
"My friends won't be surprised by this shoot. Whenever we go to the beach, I'm like, 'Is this a n*de beach? Can I take my top off?'"
MORENA BACCARIN
On wanting to take a more subtle approach to nudity for this shoot:
"I didn't want it to be an overload, like 'That girl is always taking off her clothes.' This is for the art of it. It's beautiful."
