Kim Kardashian appeared on the Australian TV show The Project today, and the reality star dished all about her infamous Paper Magazine shoot, in which she bared her naked ass (and boobs and vag) for the publication.

Kim started off by saying, "I looked back at a clip of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last season and I was really heavily pregnant, I was about eight months pregnant, and I looked at my sisters and said, ‘You guys, when I feel like I have my body back, I’m doing a nude shoot.'"

"I was so honored and excited to work with [photographer Jean-Paul Goude] because he is a legend, and for me that was something I wanted to do to make myself feel confident," she continued. "As a role model I'm not saying anyone else should do that, but for me it was an art project and it taught me to do what you want to do. I'm never one to preach, but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I love the photos, I did it for me, I hope other people like them."

Show host Rove McManus told Kim he loved the raunchy pics, and then asked, "Can you actually balance a champagne glass on your derriere, or was it all Photoshopped?" Kim insists it was real and said with a laugh, "My back hurt for about a week after that shoot. I used muscles -- [Goude] has an art of posing you and it was definitely not comfortable."

Of course, McManus was so interested in this, he then asked Kim to either do it again or teach him how to do it, and Kardashian happily agreed to help him out, but he just couldn't get it right. "You don't have as big a butt as I do, so..."
