Carmen Electra ‘Baywatch’: 15 Years Later, Electra Tries on Swimsuit From ’90s TV Show

Carmen Electra recently tried on her iconic "Baywatch" bathing suit -- 15 years after she last donned the familiar red piece in front of the TV camera.

Electra, now 40, wore the suit exclusively for the cover of InTouch's new issue, on newsstands now.

"Once I got it on, I felt amazing," Carmen told In Touch at the photo shoot, at first hesitant to slip into the suit. However, "It was a million times better than I thought it would be."

Electra began her career as a dancer before the "Baywatch" series catapulted her into fame. She scored three Playboy covers since, according to InTouch, and said she stays fit because of a diet heavy on "protein and vegetables," with exceptions for the occasional cupcake.

"I feel better than I did at 25!" Electra told In Touch.

She attributes her still-slim figure to the dancing she did in her youth.

"I still have the discipline I learned when I studied ballet growing up," she said. Electra would even consider posing for Playboy again, she told InTouch. "[I'd say] Yes! I love Playboy - they supported me from the beginning. I heard I've had the third-most covers of anyone, after Pamela [Anderson] and Anna Nicole Smith. I'm very proud of that!"

That's not the only thing the actress, who recently ended her relationship with Simon Cowell, is open to. She is also considering adoption, according to The Daily Mail.

"I'm open to it," she said. "Work has been my priority this year but I'm not closed off to the idea of adoption. I love kids."

"I'd be an encouraging and fun mom," she added. "I'd let my kid be who they are but also be a good solid mom. I definitely have an edgy, wild side to me -- and I know people are surprised by this -- but I can be very traditional too."

Aside from her short relationship with Cowell, Electra has already been married twice, according to The Daily Mail -- once to retired basketball star Dennis Rodman, and another time to rocker Dave Navarro. Although both of those marriages ended in divorce, Electra said she would be willing to marry again.
