Pop singer Katy Perry, who often dons outrageous outfits during her on-stage performances, strips down to a number of raunchy underwear for photo spread featured on the latest issue of Esquire magazine. Showing off her cleavage in various provocative poses, the "I Kissed a Girl" hit maker also scores an interview with the publication's David Curcurito, to whom she shares about some personal issues, like her single status and retarded dreams.

Katy, who dons some long hair extensions in the shoot, is seen in one snap wearing a black cleavage-baring corset top and suspenders. Her another photo, meanwhile, sees her posing for the camera in a leotard print outfits. Katy's raunchy pictures for Esquire are all captured by photographer Sheryl Nields.

Asked on who she was channeling at the photo shoot, Katy didn't mention a single name but simply said, "I aimed a little bit sexy with the hair. I wanted to just grow up a little bit. I'll be twenty-five this year."

Speaking of dating, "I have a soft spot for musicians," the single songstress told Esquire about the type of man she would love to date. "If a man could ride this roller coaster with me and come out alive, then I guess we'd deserve each other's company. But I don't really have the right energy to be with somebody right now, because when I love somebody, I love somebody. Like, I want to marry them. I don't date around. I haven't been on a date."
