Hips don't lie

Yep, they certainly look like they're telling the truth. In fact, I actually believe they have a mind of their own! Just look at how they move!! It flails about as if it has a mind completely separate from Shakira.

Shakira definitely exhibits a degree control over her mid-section that would shame Darth Vader's (and Yoda's and the Emperor's and all the Jedi and Sith combined) grasp of the Force. What's the ranking system in belly-dancing anyway? Hmm, there're belts for karate and taekwondo.. There's points-per-game in basketball... I'm going to guess Shakira is a black-belt belly dancer averaging 2 million HVPS (hip vibrations per second).


Allrighty!
Here's a glimpse from the side (note the bend):


Here's another, this time from the front:


And another, in between a side and front angle (if you'll notice the blur, that is solid indication of her ultra-high HVPS):


Wait, there's more! Since it's too easy to do what she does standing up, she also does it in other ways. Like say, while leaning on a wall:


Or while sitting down:


I don't know how many muscles and joints there are in the ab and hip area, but I'm willing to bet Shakira has more than twice than that of the average person.

If you haven't seen Shakira's Hips Don't Lie video yet, I suggest you do. There's always youtube for that.
