Jenny McCarthy is campaigning to return to Playboy for its upcoming final issue with full nudity.

“I would be totally willing to take it all off one more time. Just to say I’ll be in the last one,” the former Playmate said Wednesday on her SiriusXM talk show “Dirty, Sexy Funny with Jenny McCarthy.”

On the show, McCarthy bemoaned Monday’s news that the print edition of Playboy magazine will stop featuring nude women in March 2016, following a similar move by the website last August.

The actress said that the loss of what she called “classy” nudity from the magazine section.

“They really captured that innocence of the women… almost like art,” she said. “There was nothing that I felt was too embarrassing or gross. And nothing that I’m not proud of today.”

McCarthy, who was named Playmate of the Year in 1994, argued that the magazine set itself apart by featuring the “girl next door” type of model. By featuring the type of girl who, like McCarthy, worked in Polish grocery stores rather than strip clubs.

“When I did my test shoot there, I had one uni-brow and a giant bush to my knees. And they were like, ‘You’re in,’” she said.

“In solidarity, I will be wearing my panties at half-mast,” she said.
