Here is a recent release by Pitbull: What happens in the first 13 seconds would NEVER fly in English: A guy shouting "hey Mami" from the rooftop:

This one is just all around well done. The way they portray the women just doesn't get any better. The lyrics are great too. Almost a BILLION views.

While US women are pushing #MeToo , Latin America is enjoying #Escapate .

the title of this thread is beyond dumb - it smells so bad of misogyny. Re-reading I think maybe you're saying women should let their hair down and embrace their femininity. Agree. But remember - it's a movie, essentially and not real.



The women in the vids - Smokin' hot. Beautiful. GOOD for them for selling pretend/movie/fictional sexuality to men who eat that shit up. :)


#capitalism.

Some of the women appear "chunky" to me. Is that the new look? "Baby got back?" IDK... not that attractive to me.

And this twerking... do they do anything else but that dancing nowadays... legs spread... butt gyrating... where's the talent?

What happened to the way Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers used to dance. That took talent.

I guess time is passing and what I thought was good is turning me into a thing of the past, an old stick in the mud.

I forget the name of the dance, but that superfast hip thing has been popular in the Caribbean and S FL forever. It is NOT the same as "twerking" which I find pretty vulgar.

Ballroom dancing is whole nuther animal.

The "women in the videos."

Ya know, I liked gym when I was in HS and thought I could even be a gymnast. So every once and awhile I'll watch some on tv when I see it, and last night there was state girl gymnastics on and they were doing the vault. I'll tell ya, they were all chunky. When they'd land shit would jiggle and there'd be cellulite dimples in cheeks... I mean... is that the new normal? I thought gymnasts used to be like 4% body fat, not 15%. We had a TSgt that came into our Component Repair shop at Nellis AFB way back when and he had to lose weight or face discharge. I think the entire world is getting fatter and fatter, just like the recent story about so many young kids today not being able to qualify for enlistment because they're lard asses. It's a sedentary life style and too much shit food. Playing for kids now is sitting on their ass in front of the tv playing their PS4. We used to go outside and be active. We didn't need a gym back then, the entire outside was a fitness center. We ran ourselves into the ground, or like me growing up on a farm, we WORKED.

Ever look at white women at the turn of the 19th-to-20th century? Doughy. :laugh:

Exactly... FAT is becoming the new normal.

I even remember HS, we only had TWO people in our little class of 66 people that were FAT. Now it's probably TWO people in a class that AREN'T fat.

Rap is short for crap

Rap is short for crap"Loca" is not a rap song. It's Latino music. It has a bit of a rap in it, but the music and lyrics are the song.

What would lead ANYONE to believe I listen to rap? I DO hear Hispanic music. Unless you live in a cave or log cabin in the woods, it is a fact of life here. You get used to it. Rap is a non-happening event. I DO however hear a LOT of different music and if I like a song, I really don't care what it's labeled.

It was a general comment. I can't see you listening to rap. I'll watch the video you posted later and give my opinion. If nothing else, she looks yummy.

Shakira is Columbian. She speaks about 5 languages and has music out in several of them in various countries. She's got THE cutest smile EVER (maybe :laugh:). The rest of her wouldn't gt kicked out of the house either :)

Ok. It's club music. Not my style no matter what the language. Infinitely better than rap though. And she is yummy.

Cubans hung out in bars where they played that kind of music. I guess the "South Beach" crowd does now. "South Beach" was Miami Beach when I lived there and it was 2nd rate strip full of dives and art deco hotels from the 30s. But the music was always around and you get used to it.

Same with tejano here. I didn't hang out in tejano bars but I can listen to the music. I can't stand REAL Mexican music. Painters like that crap. Mostly because they're illegals and don't speak English.
