Esquire magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive Rihanna poses nude, covered in dirt and leaves

Apparently to Esquire, Rihanna, dirt, twigs and leaves are about as sexy as it gets.
The 23-year-old singer is the magazine’s pick for the Sexiest Woman Alive, following in the footsteps of other beautiful women like Minka Kelly and Christina Hendricks. The magazine’s cover and editorial feature Rihanna writhing around in dirt, strategically covering her naked body parts.
Oh, and there’s a video of her in the dirt too, throwing it all over herself and sticking her finger in her mouth.

Not sexy enough for you?
Fear not, there’s more.
To further illustrate her said sexiness,  there’s talk of her derriere, which is charmingly referred to as a “rump roast.”
While describing one of her performances, the article reads, “she grabs her own radiant a** — she handles it, offers it — like it’s a rump roast. She squats and spreads her legs, settles a hand between them, where it stays. Caresses her breasts. She masturbates a dancer with the help of a cane. She pretends to go down on the keytarist.
Then of course, we learn that she smells like coconut and vanilla, she drinks alcohol (kind of a lot, if the interview is to be believed), and while she doesn’t like it, has no problem telling her employees to “hurry the f**k up” when they struggle to dress quickly enough her during her concert.

Still, Rihanna doesn’t  necessarily think she is overtly sexy.
“At the end of a concert, I don’t feel like I’ve been this sexy thing. Really, I don’t even think about it,” she says.
“Honestly, even if it comes across sexual — it has to be a part of my subconscious thought. It’s never deliberate in the rest of the show. I don’t even really… I could see “What’s My Name?” — the dancing is pretty sexy. “Rude Boy.” But I don’t know. I guess people find different things sexy.”The singer also discusses her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who was convicted of brutally assaulting her in 2009.
““Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?  I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan … I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have.”
