Oh Paris

The Clips Girls of the Baby, Baby, Baby music video have caused a lot a noise on the internet. This has had a good pay off as the song is even making it to the top of the charts. But who are those clips girls, who dared to walk naked in the streets of Paris?

A little has been published about those naked girls, who have been recruited at Facebook , and convinced to walk naked in the streets of Paris to make a music video. What is known about those clips girls are their first names: Mathilde, Sarah and Marine, but all the rest about their identity is just speculation.

For example, it is widely believed that the first clips girl Mathilde is a fashion model. She is 18 years old, 5’10”, living in Paris, and has been discovered by a scout on the streets of Paris.

Let us know if you know more about the other clips girls.

It is suddenly a huge hype in Paris, the video of the new girl group “Make the Girl Dance” with their latest clip “Baby Baby Baby”. How did that happen? Well no surprise, you film them undressed.

The presence of three fully naked girls, filmed a few days ago at rue Montorgueil in Paris, in front of shocked bypassers, is probably one of the reasons for the success. The video is available on the internet and watched over a million times.

The idea came from Pierre Mathieu a former TV host, and was meant to make the electro pop group he has with DJ Greg Kozo better known to the general public. They put an Ad on Facebook: “Looking for girls to get naked on the streets of Paris”, and thought this will never work. And guess what? On a recent Tuesday pedestrians in the Paris Montorgueil street where surprised by 3 naked girls walking and dancing through street. As filming nude on the streets in Paris is forbidden, they had to be fast, no rehearsal, and only one single shot. This makes it the fastest shot music video, and probably also the cheapest (€650).

The latest movies at the Cannes film festival were getting all the attention this weekend in Paris. Paris Match decided to cheer up the Parisians with a photo session of Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau, the lead actresses of the movie “Ne te retourne pas” (Don’t look back).

It seems that the marketing department for this movie got the same inspiration as the producers of “Make the Girl Dance” song “Baby Baby Baby” which we discussed last week; scarily dressed, nice looking women, draw attention.

Oh, by the way “Ne te retourne pas”  is the story of a married woman and mother of 2 children, Jeanne (Sophie Marceau), who suddenly sees changes in her home and even in her body. Her family and friends blame the changes to a great exhaustion caused by the writing of her book, but Jeanne knows that it’s something deeper. She discovers a photo at her mother’s place which puts her on the trail of a woman in Italy. There Jeanne, physically transformed (now Monica Bellucci) finds the explanation of what is happening…

The movie will be in theatres on June 3, 2009
