Playboy Mansion alum Holly Madison slips into a bikini for a photoshoot in this week’s issue of the academic journal Life & Style, and she’s decided to forgo any retouching.

As Holly told the magazine:

“I’d rather be overweight and curvy than super thin with no curves,” Holly, 32, exclusively tells Life & Style at the photo shoot on Feb 21. “I’m proud of my body.”

“I’ve always had a butt, and I want to keep it – cellulite and all. I’m not perfect, but I love my curves.”

Super jumbo version of the photo at the source, in case any of you (Mancouchers?) want an up close and personal look at Ms. Madison’s, uh, assets.

Yay to Holly for going natural!
