Driving for fun, dancing for money, killing for gold

Yo it's Ironik time again. This is JT's follow up to the airplay smash 'Stay With Me', which he himself directed a few months ago. I believe it is also his first video at his new home, Pulse Films. It was a joint commission by Hassinator and Claire.

In the wider context of the Ironik metanarrative I suppose you could call the video a pre-prequal. This is where we find out how Ironik first met his girl. In the next installment, the prequal, we'll discover why she's in hospital. (My money's on a nasty dose of the ebola virus.)

They shot for 2 days, one in London and one in Paris. Claire was on hand to pap the shit out of it on her phone. Here's a picture of Ironik busting a preppy look at a wardrobe call the night before the shoot. Extreme peace.

Here's a shaky picture of Ironik and Naomi Millbank-Smith in the back of a cab, heading to their hotel in Paris. Pap. Pap.


Yes Naomi Millbank-Smith again. As you might remember she 'starred' in the first video. Apparently she got all drunk on the Eurostar and tried to chat up a group of French cage fighters. Gutter.

Luckily Naomi's agent chaperoned her on this trip. She is classic. On 'Stay with me' Ben Cook got me to try and convince her into letting Naomi do a 'tasteful' topless shot. Here's how the negotiation went:

Me (very coyly): So do you think maybe we could get a shot of Naomi kind of wearing nothing on top, but with her back to camera, and then we hold on her for a bit, and then maybe she turns round slowly to face us, but her arm is covering her breasts? Maybe something like that?

Agent (bluntly): She won't do hand bra.

Hand bra. Hand bra. So that's what they call it. Now that i know that shit, I think I'm probably qualified to get a job at Nuts. Speaking of which, while I was in France recently, I noticed that the French version of Nuts is called Guts. Zut alors.
