Padma Lakshmi's hot photoshoot in sexy Bikini

Padma Lakshmi donned sexy, lacy lingerie for Playboy magazine. Age and childbirth have actually done wonders for her and she looked smoking hot as she flaunted hot innerwear. Padma Lakshmi shows off her svelte figure in white lace underwear and a see-through lace overlay dress in the December issue of Playboy magazine.

In the accompanying interview, the 42-year-old Top Chef star admits that her model good looks makes her something of a man magnet, although she is usually unaware of her own attraction.

"A lot of men get frustrated with me, actually, because I am like a guy," she was quoted as saying. "Honestly, I'm like a truck driver trapped in this body. I don't want to be your best friend. I don't expect you to give me a birthday card or send me flowers." she said.

"Don't get me wrong. That stuff's nice, but I am a physical and sensual person. I love to be held. I love massages. I'm just not a Hallmark kind of gal," she said.

Lakshmi, who hails from Chennai, India, also revealed what attracts her in a man. "I want someone who's a challenging adversary, who can tease me and get away with it, who can flirt and make me think and laugh and blush," she said.
