Shakira | Smart Sensuality Goddess in Ibiza

Shakira’s Smart Sensuality goddess power is splashed all over the Internet today, with ravishingly gorgeous, luscious photo of her Ibiza photo shoot pouring in. The photos inspire us to add a guest editorial appearance by our muse Shakira in our new Sensual and Superyoung journey through the South of France.

Ibiza isn’t on our route, given our current mind-altering lessons on “joie de vivre” at the Intercontinental Carlton in Cannes, France. We’re heading to Nice, then to Monaco and north to Portofino. Ibiza is the other direction.

The sensuous, dancer, agile flexibility that Shakira exhibits in these photos is perfect for our next chapter on exercise. Perhaps a detour to Ibiza is now necessary, especially if we want to limber up our sensual minds as well as bodies. Ibiza is known for being just a little bit wild, playful with plenty of tutus and not all worn by women.

Shakira, who has been nominated for two Teen Choice Awards, including Best Female Artist, wore a Spanish-style skirt, which, at 7ft long, trailed behind her.

The Colombian songwriter is also up for Best Activist Artist for her superhit Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) which was the official song for the World Cup.

At the time, Shakira said: ‘I am honored that Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) was chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.’ via Daily Mail and photos, too

Shakira is hooked into a new world consciousness that is for real. The total woman that Shakira represents is the vanguard of the sexy, sensual, smart, stylish woman with heart that we write about every day. These Shakira in Ibiza photos inspires us to collect our best Shakira thoughts on sensuality from Anne of Carversville.

Shakira Smart Sensuality Quote #1

I like the vision of Shakira writing her first lyrics in English. She locked herself up with a personal tutor, studied the lyrics of Bob Dylan and the poetry of Walt Whitman and wrote the English lyrics to her album ‘Laundry Service’, ‘with a dictionary in one hand and a thesaurus in the other’. via Saint Shakira Seduces the Skeptic

Shakira Smart Sensuality Quote #2

Let me give you her quote precisely, since I’m on quick sand already today with the Catholic Church and the governments of Sudan and Zambia: “Of course, yes. I do think libido is the engine of the world. Forward or backwards. For good or ill. Sometimes when we repress our libido we regress. When we were in the Dark Ages, it was a question of humanity somehow managing to forget about itself. We put God in the centre of society, and people forgot about their own nature and desires. There was a huge deal of repression. via Saint Shakira Calls Libido the “Engine of the World”

Shakira Smart Sensuality Quote #3

Rest assured that Shakira will never be in a Ralph Lauren ad, or one for Chanel. Neither designer can handle Smart Sensuality women, who must be trimmed down to size before they are acceptable for prime time viewing.

I doubt that Shakira’s too concerned about what either Ralph Lauren or Karl Lagerfeld thinks about her curvaceous, sexy, powerful body. She may be small, but I sense that Shakira could take down Karl Lagerfeld in a heartbeat.

In reality, Shakira has much of the world eating out of her palm — men far richer than either Lagerfeld or Lauren. via Shakira: Brainiac Activist with Curves

Shakira Smart Sensuality Quote #4

It’s great that after the sexy She-Wolf photos of Shakira, Vanity Fair brings us a spectacularly sensual, sophisticated series of Shakira photos. As a Lebanese-Colombian “mutt”,  the real beauty of these photos underscores the marriage of sexuality and respectability.

Vanity Fair writer Bruce Handy doesn’t “get it”, but we forgive him. Let’s face reality, female sexuality is enormously complex — almost as complicated as the patriarchal forces committed to repressing it around the world. via Shakira, Vanity Fair’s ‘She-Wolf’ Inspires Sensual Respectability

Shakira Smart Sensuality Quote #5

As a Smart Sensuality woman, Shakira’s brain and sensuality are fused into a forceful, external personality and confident intellect committed to solving the challenges of global poverty and underdevelopment in a loosely woven confederation of artists and activists called Latin America in Solidarity Action (the Spanish acronym is ALAS, or “wings”).

In an essay written when Shakira Mebarak Ripoll was 22, author Gabriel García Márquez, now her good friend and collaborator in ALAS, says that the Barranquilla-born, global pop star’s persona is built on a “will of granite’ but also an “innocent sensuality that she seems to have invented herself.” via Shakira, a Smart Sensuality Activist, Takes Me Back to Colombia, Where My Life Journey Really Began

To love Shakira is to love Anne of Carversville and vice versa. There is no daylight between us — except that we can’t shake our hips nor do leg lifts worthy of her presence. Heart-to-heart, we’re soul sisters. Reviewing now, I see that I wrote my first ode to Shakira on June 14, 2009.

Shakira is consistently one of the Smart Sensuality motors of our digital universe. She runs and we’re flying behind, communicating her urgent messages about the global need for Smart Sensuality people to rise up to support her missions.

We execute her message in terms not worthy of her, but always in the very best we can. Not all women are created equal. Shakira exists far above the maddening crowds.  Anne
