The star set the scene, questioning what would happen if "something horrible" happened to her while she was on vacation, and there wasn't enough evidence of her whereabouts.
So she recalls: "So I said to Mark, 'Will you do me a favor? I'm trying to promote this book, will you take a picture of me?'" and she hoped he would capture her in a very relaxed state, "not stressed at all" about her upcoming book tour for Live Wire.
"One glam shot of mommy, can you take a thirst trap of me?" she remembered requesting, explaining that she is always the one behind the camera. She goes on to detail the moment she was about to finally get her good vacation photo, only for her husband to take it far too quickly and not take much time with it.
The hilarious "thirst trap" story
To Kelly's dismay, his minimal effort was evident, and although she still managed to set pulses racing with the cheeky shot, unfortunately her head was for the most part cut off.
