Can you believe that a woman piqued Tim’s curiosity? Kudos to you for being that sexy, Kelly!

It’s completely normal that most men are buying the March issue of Playboy like hotcakes to catch Kelly Bensimon posing in the buff, but you might be shocked to find that the Real Housewives of New York star is SO hot that she even managed to convince Project Runway guru Tim Gunn to purchase the men’s mag for the first time ever!

“Tim Gunn just told @kikilet [Kelly] that she was the reason he bought his first playboy ever!! Soo sweet!” a fan wrote on Kelly’s Twitter page Feb. 17, which she then re-tweeted.

Tim, 56, clearly thinks that Kelly makes the photos – artfully shot by ex-husband Gilles Bensimon – work. Though she’s nude, there are no gratuitous shots of her hoo-ha.

This is a huge compliment for you, Kelly! Tim thinks you’re haute AND hot!
