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.
