I’ve always admired Shakira. Anyone who can come out with the lines
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don’t confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
and manage to keep a straight face deserves some modicum of respect.
Especially if you’ve seen her mum’s legs.
However, as VH1 played her 2005 hit La Tortura this morning, my son decided that it was time to play with his latest favourite toy: the vacuum cleaner. Thus, with 1400W of Hoover belting away barely 2 feet in front of the telly drowning out her vocal efforts, I was treated to a solely visual performance of the La Tortura video, during which Ms Shakira spills a fair amount of oil over herself (something she probably couldn’t afford to do these days), chops some onions up for a nice casserole and demonstrates the six principles of pilates. Several times over.
I advise you to watch the following video with the sound muted. If you’re from New Zealand, you will particularly appreciate the moment at around 2:17 when she starts doing the Haka.
If you’re from anywhere else, there are still several other humble mountain moments to admire.
Bugger. My wife’s home. You ain’t seen me, right?

I panicked when I first saw the headline.
Then I realised what sort of drowning you meant.
This seems like a thinly veiled reason to post a Shakira video on your site.
Nice work.
Mark – Well spotted.
Saw the video. Voted for you.
For the first couple of seconds there she kinda looks like she’s having a seizure.
She’s hot though, I just want to do something about her hair.
Love the breasts line
I thnik she is wonderful
I think it’s the oil that makers her hair gresy
Greetings from Dunedin.
