In a recent interview with PageSix about her decision to bare her butt for Playboy Plus, Karlie states:

?I was very nervous for two reasons: One, it?s?Playboy, and two, there were extra cameras because the reality show was filming.?

?But at the end of the day I had to hold myself in and have that confidence and exude that energy that I needed,? she added.

Redd also adds that she feels that age ain’t nothing but a number and that ’40 is the new 20,’ as far as she’s concerned.

If you recall, earlier this year Vivid Entertainment offered Redd?a sex tape deal, which she refused (click HERE if you missed that) and she states,??I wouldn?t even entertain it.?

Redd subsequently expressed interest in modeling for Playboy though, which led to her upcoming shoot.

?[A sex tape] is on a whole different level, but I didn?t even question Playboy. I want to do everything Playboy again and again. It?s sexy, classy and everything to me.?

While PageSix reports Redd’s age at 37, she was reportedly 46 back in 2012 when she first hit tv screens on the popular reality show.

Using the?help of plastic surgery and botox to strip years from her age, Karlie is totally ready willing and able to strip down for the cameras. She insists that age is just a number and compares herself to Madonna (57) who’s about 8 years her senior, stating:

?They say 40 is the new 20 ? that?s how I feel. I?m like a big kid, but I?m a big sexy kid. Madonna still tours and she looks gorgeous so if she can do it, I can do it,?

Redd has reportedly completed her initial test shoot for Playboy but her?online editorial for the online version of the mag will shoot and be published?this fall.
