Montreal, Quebec (WFN) -- Posing nude to promote extraterrestrial communication isn't for everyone -- but it helps when you have a body that's out of this world.

That's the naked truth according to Shizue Koneko, who is one of three followers of the Raelian religion posing in the latest issue of "Playboy" magazine.

Koneko is the personal assistant for Rael, the former race car driver who leads the E.T.-oriented religion.

She says she was honored to be picked for the spread because she feels it honors both her philosophy and, as she explains, "...my outside beauty, which is also important."

She is especially proud because she is 38 years old -- much older than the mag's usual models -- and believes Rael's philosophy of sexual freedom and "love through action" is helping her keep her girlish figure.

The "Playboy" issue featuring Koneko officially hits stands tomorrow (Sep. 15) and she will be appearing at a special autograph session this Sunday (Sep. 19) in Montreal.
