Despite her confession that she regretted posing nude in Playboy, Kim Kardashian is taking her clothes off again.

The reality star strips down for the November issue of W, the magazine’s art issue. Wearing nothing but silver body paint, Kardashian shows off her curves and opens up about life in front of the cameras.

As the magazine points out, Kardashian isn’t a singer, actress or artist, yet she’s adept at playing herself. She plays herself so well, in fact, that she and her family have become E! Network’s biggest stars.

On her public perception, she tells W, “ I’m not a drinker, and when I’m up on the table dancing, it’s for the picture. Then I sit right back down. I play into the perception of me, but it’s not really me.  And the show reveals that.”

Kardashian adds that her role on “Keeping Up” has helped her come into herself.

“I used to think, I have to be this or that or skinny, and now, because of the show, everyone is embracing just me, which has given me such a confidence. Now I’m like, Why did I ever give that feeling the time of day? I’m so mature now. I’m a grown-up version of myself.”

And despite rampant rumors that she is known to strike deals with paparazzi and gossip magazines, Kardashian insists that she simply doesn’t care anymore.

“I’ve learned to ignore everything. In the beginning I thought I was too sensitive for this. I’d Google myself and it would freak me out. Now I could care less if they say I’m pregnant with twins with my brother.”
