Irina Shayk: Superstar

Irina Shayk’s already landed the cover of Jalouse and a career-making spot in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue from 2007-09.

She’s also the face of Intimissimi and Guess, but she just now signed to IMG and they’re celebrating their new girl with much more than your basic measurement holding model card.

The video above is the most fun way we’ve ever learned of an agency’s new hire and we think it should be the only way from now on. IMG even wrangled (we’re sure it was difficult) their very own elevator operator to star alongside the Russian babe.

I dunno. This may seem very priggish of me, but something about this video leaves me feeling uncomfortable. Honestly, without any context, I'd think this was a promo for a new hire at an escort agency.

I think IMG could show that she's a sexy woman without needing to rely on numerous close-ups of her naked torso as she undresses and tosses her bra to the elevator operator.

I agree with mpw. I definitely think that the idea of a video, with great music and cool cinematography, is a unique way to show off a new signing, but I don't really think that the undressing showed any of Irina's qualities. This definitely could have been done in a classier way.

3, its Date With The Night, by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

I concur with the other commenters--the idea of a video is great, but the ridiculous undressing in an elevator thing just makes her seem like a hooker.

I do love the montage of model shots at the end in time with the music, though.

Ha, guest #8, if we were in fact just a bunch of lesbians, we'd probably wouldn't mind seeing even more of her -- and we certainly wouldn't be jealous of the amount of "roni" she's getting!

what's 'roni'?
does that mean penis?

i wish we were a group of lesbians, but everyone knows lesbians don't like fashion, just plaid, flannel lumber-jack shirts.
