Showing the world that she's no longer a kid, the former Nickelodeon star strikes some steamy poses in skimpy lingerie.

Amanda Bynes wants people to know that she's no longer that Nickelodeon pre-teen actress, and she does it by posing in her underwear. Being the cover girl of Maxim's February issue, which will be on U.S. newsstands January 19, the leading actress of "She's the Man" are captured stripping down to her skimpy lingerie in several sexy photos for the men's magazine.

Proudly showing of her red bra on the mag's cover, the Penny Pingleton of "Hairspray" is also snapped steaming up the pages by donning pink as well as black lingerie. While most of the 23-year-old's photo spread expose her in sexy underwear, one in particular sees her covered in a sheer white mini dress.

In an interview with Maxim, Bynes stated, "I had the best time on this shoot. I think every shot I did was sexy. Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now." She also shared her parents' reaction, "I want to show people who I am. My parents were like, 'Does this mean you're gonna do sexy movies now?' I said, 'Well, if they're done the right way, then maybe!' "

However, she was quick to explain on what she means by sexy movies, "I mean, I'm not gonna do porn, but if it's a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever..." When pursued further whether she means she will strip down on screen if there is a scene involving making out with the actor, she responded, "Ha, yeah, then I wouldn't mind! Point is, it's time for me to start making my own decisions."
