There's a pink glittery guitar lying on the floor. A pile of clothes, belts and shoes being rummaged through. And a girl in Elvis shades banging the shit out of a drum kit. Constantine are having a photoshoot.
More than that, Constantine are having a right laugh. 'Your arse is hanging out of your trousers!', Jackie tells Annabel. 'What else did I bring that was humorous?', Jackie asks. 'Your face', Beth replies. Noisy, funny, and far too pretty for their own good, Constantine are not chart-fodder bland. Nope, this new band are fabulously feisty. When they're asked to look sexy and pout, they virtually wet themselves. 'Do you really think we could do that seriously?!'.
Soon bored of the 'sultry' shots, they start practising their 'frown smiles' (you have to really wrinkle your brow and then grin like a loon. Try it. It's fun) and then rip the piss out of Annabel's new 'badger' belt ('It says "badger", not "beaver"!').
More photos and more hilarity. Jackie takes a call on her mobile. She tells Annabel to cover her ears. Jackie, via her caller 'source', reveals the name of the character who dies in the latest Harry Potter. Annabel hears, squeals, and runs to the control room in a mock hissy fit. The girls run in after her, and then they all run back out, Benny Hill-stylie, with Annabel trying to give Jackie a wedgie as punishment...
Welcome to the world of Constantine.
