February 2nd is only a month away, and you all know what that means…
… Shakira is going to turn 42!
For the past ten years, I’ve organized mass, worldwide projects asking fans across the internet to record themselves wishing Shakira a happy birthday. Each year, I’ve gotten tons of submissions through audio and video recordings, along with photos, from all over the world, and the final birthday videos have been sent to Shakira and posted on Shakira.com! One year, Shakira even tweeted the video herself.
So, right after an amazing tour, we certainly want Shakira to have the happiest of 42nd birthdays…
Here’s what to do:
Record a birthday greeting for Shakira (audio or video). You can also send in a photo of you with your Shakira collection, with Shakira herself, at a concert, with a sign for her, etc. (anything Shakira-related with you in it, pretty much). Other options include doing one of her dances, doing a greeting with friends… whatever you think will get your message and love for Shakira across to her! You can do any or all of these options, you’re not limited to just a picture, video, an audio recording, etc!
