, away from Bextor and places it beside the other bride-doll. The Bextor-dummy starts to sing and performs clumsy movements of its various body parts, tilting and turning its head, trying axial hand-rotation, but all these remain unnoticed by the designer, who leaves the scene. Bextor's motion becomes gradually smoother, as the doll keeps singing and is getting more and more alive. She even drops her bouquet, and acquires a kind of power that makes her capable of breaking the store window without even touching it. Engulfed in a shower of exploding glass splinters, Bextor steps out of the window, removes her bridal costume, revealing a pink frock, and starts walking down the shopping lane. Other female mannequins in fashion shops come alive as she passes by and blasts the windows open. The liberated dolls all escape and follow Bextor in a robotic dance. The video finishes with Bextor waving to the camera with both hands and shattering the screen into fragments.
"Move This Mountain"
The music video for "Move This Mountain" is composed entirely of mirrored scenes, first in black and white, and then in color. It was directed by
Sophie Muller. Both videos were included in Ellis-Bextor's video album, ''
Watch My Lips''.
