"Shakira got it right: Hips don't lie."

There's a reason why everybody thinks Shakira is sexy.

"(...)NYU's Kerri Johnson Louis Tassinary of Texas A&M University conducted studies among scores of subjects to try to identify "particular body cues" - beyond their looks - that make men and women attractive.

Their conclusion, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: Shape is important, but it's the wiggle in women and the strut in men that are the most powerful "cues" to their attraction.

Studying the reaction of more than 700 people to shadow figures, videos of humans in motion and a variety of animations, the researchers found that females were rated more attractive if their hips swayed as they walked, while males were ranked highest if they displayed a certain saunter."

latinas are privileged women in this subject. We have a more free, expressive body language; we have friendly, warm personalities, and the way we move is a reflection of that.

Have you been restraining your body language, trying to fit another culture's social codes? Release the Latina within you, and let your hips tell the truth about yourself. Apparently, that seems to be the best way to be a sexy, hot woman.
