Shakira is so...
...so fresh, that on one occasion it didn't bother her to take off her shoes in the middle of Caracas Avenue in Bogotá and walk barefoot to her destination.
...so practical, that when she arrived in Washington to appear at a dinner at the White House with Bill Clinton, and the suitcase that contained the costly dress that she bought to shine in that night didn't show up anywhere but she was very calm. She went to a store and bought herself another and that was what she put on for the occasion.
...so grounded that she didn't doubt about suspending her promo tour of Donde Estan Los Ladrones? to participate in a benefit concert in the Dominican Republic for the survivors of Hurricane Mitch. Her Her groundedness became apparent when she visited the world coffee source in a lightning trip to give blankets and flashlights to earthquake victims.
...such a sleepyhead that on one occasion she came to the Guajira as a guest of the kingdom of Dividivi, but was so tired that she took a short nap and fell hard asleep. She woke up 15 minutes before the presentation and she realized what time it was because the television was turned on and the host of the event said: In a few short minutes we will have our invited guest singing." The artist got ready in a matter of seconds, appeared without pantyhose, and with her hair half-combed.
...so fast when she drives that her press manager remembers when, on one occasion, they left the artist's home on the corner of 127th and the freeway in Bogotá, fifteen minutes before their flight left for Cali, Colombia. The singer broke a record and arrived at the airport in enough time. Clearly she ran all the red lights, drove on the sidewalks, and honked her horn all down the street so that they would let her pass.
...so spiritual that she doesn't go onstage for a concert or a press conference without praying.
...so obsessive with her music, that it doesn't matter where the inspiration comes from, whether it be the shower, she still would come out to look for a pencil before the ideas leave.
...is such a crybaby that when she broke up with her boyfriend Oscar Ulloa, in spite of the fact that he still loved her, it was she that suffered because it weighed on her that she hurt him.
...so peaceful that she has truly never met a gun.
...so traditional about matters of love that she is incapable of just showing attention to a man, she waits for him to declare himself.
...so vain that when she flew with the Tv y Novelas crew to Aruba for a photo shoot for a special edition of Bellos, she was the one that delayed them because she was still putting on her makeup.
...so professional that the day that she gave a concert in Bogotá, she broke a tooth on the microphone while dancing but she endured the pain and kept on dancing.
...so strict that Emilio Estefan calls her "teacher" or "General."
...So stubborn that unless others absolutely insist, she won't change her mind.
...so slender as a high school student, that she fit perfectly between the bars in front of her house and was able to enter without keys.
