What’s Up With That Sexy Pose, Selena Gomez?

When we say "sexy pose," we don't necessarily mean that Selena Gomez is setting her body in a position of seduction or coy eroticism, for the term "sexy" is really quite broad and strange. No, Ms. Gomez has splayed her body out upon the pool chair in a most indelicate fashion, and it's this frankness with her figure that we find so fucking hot.

It's just all hanging out there: the very bottom of her bikini, her breasts struggling to stay in the top, a booty that won't quit. At the same time, there's something classical about the torque of her body. In the way that Renaissance sculptors sought to embrace the glory of ancient stone bodies, so too Selena Gomez harkens to the paintings of odalisques as she chats on her phone.
