Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian, who is expecting her third child, has posed nude for a magazine, saying `nudity is not something to be ashamed of."

The 35-year-old has stripped off for DuJour magazine, reports mirror.co.uk.

Shot by Brian Bowen Smith, in one of the photographs Kourtney is seen standing in just a long feathered necklace and a hand covering her modesty.

In the second photograph, the `Keeping Up with the Kardashians` star has posed in a wet white shirt.

In the third one, she is seen standing in a gaping white silk gown.

Talking about the shoot, Kourtney, who's due to give birth around Christmas, said: `I'm not trying to impress anybody or be something I'm not. It's just a beautiful thing, just being able to take those photographs and have them, and just be able to show my children, 'This was you inside'.`

`To me, nudity is not something to be ashamed of. I'm not embarrassed of my body, so I think it was something I initially did for myself,` she added.
