Ronnie Kroell on Stripping for

Make Me a Supermodel's Ronnie Kroell talked to the Washington Bladeabout his nude pictorial for Playgirl and the three months of courting it took to convince the gay model to bare all.

"At the time, upon initial contact, it wasn't really something I saw myself doing," Kroell said. "It took me about three months to get to 'yes' as a decision. I'm really happy and it was really a fun experience for me because Playgirl immediately saw upon meeting me the artistic vision that I had and what I really wanted to do."

Kroell says the first 15-20 images from his shoot are expected to debut on Playgirl's website on Saturday. He says posing nude for Playgirl made him nervous but, at the end of the day, "this was just a really exciting art project for me."
