WHY IS KATY PERRY TALKING OUT HER A$$? SAY'S SHE'LL NEVER POSE FOR PLAYBOY SHE'S MORE LIKE A BURLESQUE GIRL!

Katy Perry likes to show off her assets, but the sexy singer says she'll always keep some skin under wraps.
Though she loves to "tease" in provocative outfits, one of which famously got her banned from Sesame Street, Perry says we'll never see her nude.

"I won't be doing a Playboy spread," she tells British Cosmopolitan in the December issue of the magazine.

The "Teenage Dream" singer likens herself instead to fellow sex icon Dita Von Teese, who steams up the stage while staying (a little bit) covered up.

"I’m like a Burlesque girl," Perry tells the magazine, according to People.com.

The buxom brunette, known for showing off her body in racy photo shoots and concert attire, says she's well aware of her powerful sex appeal and knows just how to flaunt it.

"I like to play [the sexy] card because "it's fun and it's definitely in my deck," she said.

Perry, who hit the red carpet alongside new husband Russell Brand at Sunday's MTV EMA Awards for the first time since their wedding, says being in love gives her the self esteem to be sexy.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she tells Cosmopolitan. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."

In addition to the boost she gets from feeling "loved up" by her funnyman husband, Perry says she also knows she's enjoying a fleeting fountain of youth.

"Hey, I'm 26 and I know these are my prime years," she told the magazine. "I feel confident."
