Shakira Finally Ready to Give the World a Striptease Video

The striptease music video is something of a rite for American lady popstars, the point at which the singer decides it’s time, career-wise, to say look, I’m Sexual! Though, in fact, everyone else was having these thoughts for years. Britney’s done it, Madonna’s done it, Xtina was basically orbiting a stripper pole from 2002 to 2005. And now, a little belatedly, Shakira’s doing one.
It’s for the new single “She Wolf.” Says the director, “Shakira is getting in touch with her inner She Wolf which is a kind of predatory sensuality.” Though she’s in a cage, which is great for the whole stripper thing, but kind of deflates the predator metaphor, you know? Behind-the-scenes footage and a clip from the new vid, ATJ.
The director is funny too. He looks just like a really fabulous Luis Guzman.
Also, fact: “Hips Don’t Lie” is the most successful single in the world on the charts so far this century.

So she wears a flesh covered suit and isn’t really naked.
This “faux nude” crap thing is lame. A prude is STILL a prude.
I love the way she dances, but I can’t help thinking that having some clothes on is sexier than none.
