The R&B trio of Total has already earned gold status for its Top 10 single, "Trippin'," the Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott-produced track from the group's new album, "Kima, Keisha & Pam," and now Total plans to bare it all for an upcoming magazine cover.

Well, maybe not "all," but an awful lot, as the group is the subject of a feature spread in the new issue of "One World" magazine, which also features a shot of the Total girls -- in their birthday suits -- gracing the cover.

In a recent MTV Radio Network interview, Total talked about its new attitude of empowerment that may shed a little light on the group's decision to do the semi-nude pic.

"We definitely represent strong women," Kima said, "and we just feel like women should express themselves more. You shouldn't be afraid to express yourself, 'cause we've been held back for so long, like [people will say], 'A woman can't do this, a woman can't say that,' and that's just not true. We can say and do anything."

No word

yet on what Total plans to say as its next single, but we'll keep you posted.
