[ During the colder months, we decided to keep ourselves warm by filming a video to Beyonce's "Til the End of Time". We quickly threw together our outfits consisting of various black pieces from each others wardrobes and took over a factory setting to shoot Mandy's latest choreograph. Check out our clip here. ]
