If you think she’s bowlegged, you clearly don’t know what ‘bowlegged’ means. Because she’s not, which is obvious to anyone looking at the picture. ---

😛 I agree, we need to see her without those clothes. 😉 She’s twenty. Won’t be long and I bet Playboy features her. Or a cell phone pic will leak out. > [@Spoke](#): > > Not seeing the bowed legs. Though I agree she would look better without those clothes. ---

this image speaks for itself. [https://goo.gl/images/D2qtjq](https://goo.gl/images/D2qtjq) Her right leg is bowed. It’s very obvious. That doesn’t infer that she isn’t attractive. She’s certainly very talented and successful. ---

A doctor would have her stand flat footed to check. The high heels might be distorting her posture. It doesn’t really matter. She’s obviously very successful and adored by her fans. ---

More importanlty, I hope she got rid of that 175 pounds of ugly fat (Justin Beiber). I think he would be perfect for that dreadful little Miley Cyrus. Could y’all see it? ---

I saw Selena Gomez recently trying to be sexy while singing and I just didn’t think it worked at all. I think she comes across much better sticking with the young, fresh-faced pretty girl next door, she just doesn’t strike me as a hot thang.
