Rihanna is the sexiest woman alive, naked

So says Esquire magazine, who today gave our favorite Caribbean singer, Rihanna, the title of sexiest woman alive for 2011. And she tries to prove it by posing with her clothes off.

As a part of winning this prestigious title Rihanna sat down for a sexy photo shoot and an interview where she discussed much of her life on tour including what happens in her dressing room before a show.

I eat lozenges, steam my voice, do my makeup. I Skype my vocal coach and we sit there at the makeup table and do warm-ups for about a half-hour. Then, Jen, my personal assistant slash bartender, brings me a shot that she dilutes with a little something so it’s not so harsh, like orange juice or soda water and lime.

Rihanna says that even now at this stage of her career she still gets anxious and the shot helps her to calm her nerves and not overthink everything. She also tells us how she chooses which audience member to give a lap dance to each night.

The way I pick the person is, whoever I feel doesn’t take themselves too seriously, or who I think would be majorly embarrassed about it. Like these old men… it’s hilarious. At first, it was just going to be girls. And then one night, I brought up a gay guy, and then I started bringing up straight guys. Then I started bringing up older straight men.

While one might argue with her selection (we didn’t even have her as the sexiest singer alive), you can’t argue the fact that Rihanna is definitely one of the sexiest women on the planet (we’re all splitting hairs anyway trying to pick just one woman for the title). She’s no doubt a worthy heir to the throne of Minka Kelly, Esquire’s sexiest woman alive in 2010.
