IMO a woman that beautiful doesn't come down the pike that often to be ignored. I always liked the blondes anyway like Patti Hansen who is soooooo old now. Maybe she can cook.

I never expected them to. It's just that the miles are starting to catch up with me. I'm starting to get sappy and sentimtal in my old age. "Things" don't change anyway...the only thing that ever catches up are the bill collectors. |

I'm not interested in that. Singing voices come and go. But bodies like that are only a gift in time. |

Childhood and youth
wikepedia.com
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on February 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado, a Colombian of Catalan-Italian descent, and William Mebarak Chadid, an American of Lebanese-Catholic extraction. Her father also had eight children with his former wife. One of her siblings is also her road manager.
Shakira, which means "grateful" or "thankful" (شاكِرة in Arabic. Her second name, Isabel, is also that of her paternal grandmother.[6] She spent much of her youth in Barranquilla. She has stated to have grown among Lebanese, Jewish and Italian communities.[7]
Shakira wrote her first poem, entitled "La Rosa De Cristal" (The Crystal Rose) when she was only four years old. After receiving a typewriter as a gift, she began to write poems constantly. Her poems eventually evolved into songs. At the age of eight, after an older brother was killed in a motorcycle accident, Shakira became inspired to write her first song, which is entitled "Tus Gafas Oscuras" and documents her father's grief.[citation needed]
At a young age, her father took her to a local Middle Eastern restaurant, where Shakira first heard the doumbek, a traditional Arabic drum used in Arabic music and which typically accompanied belly dancing.[8] Before she knew it, Shakira was dancing on the table as restaurant patrons responded by clapping enthusiastically. It was then that Shakira said she knew she wanted to be a performer. She enjoyed singing for schoolmates and teachers (and even the nuns) at her Catholic school but in the second grade was rejected for the school choir because her vibrato was too strong. The music teacher told her that she sounded "like a goat".[9][10] At school, she says she had been known as "the belly dancer girl", as she would demonstrate a number she learned every Friday at school.[9] "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says.[11]
Between the ages of ten and thirteen Shakira was invited to various events in Barranquilla and gained some recognition in the area.[12] It was at about this time that she met local theater producer Monica Ariza, who was impressed with her and as a result tried to help her career. During a flight from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Ariza convinced Sony Colombia executive Ciro Vargas to hold an audition for Shakira in a motel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in high regard and, returning to the Sony office, gave the cassette to a song and artist director. However, the director was not overly excited and thought Shakira was something of "a lost cause". Vargas, not daunted, was still convinced that Shakira had talent, and set up an audition in Bogotá. He arranged for Sony Colombia executives to arrive at the audition, with the idea of surprising them with Shakira's performance. She performed three songs for the executives and impressed them enough for her to be signed to record three albums.[13]
Shakira's debut album, Magia, was recorded with Sony Music in 1991, when she was only fifteen years old. The album did not fare well commercially, selling less than one thousand copies.[9] After the poor acclaim of Magia, Shakira's label urged her back into the studio to release a follow up with more hit songs, to give the album potential. The album Peligro was released in 1993, but Shakira was not pleased with the final result. The album was better received than Magia, though it was also considered a commercial failure, due to Shakira's refusal to advertise it. Although little known outside of her native Colombia, Shakira was invited to perform at Chile's Viña del Mar International Song Festival in February 1993. The festival gave aspiring Latin American singers a chance to perform their songs, and the winner was then chosen by a panel of judges. Shakira performed the ballad "Eres" (You Are) and won the trophy for third place. One of the judges who voted for her to win was then 20-year-old Ricky Martin, who was left impressed with Shakira's voice and presence.[citation needed] Shakira then decided to take a hiatus from recording so that she could graduate from high school.
