Alt-soul singer Charles Perry is kicking up the sexiness factor in his latest music video by casting saucy little minx Emmanuelle Chriqui to dance around in her skivvies. The spicy Ms. Chriqui acts out the narrative for the song “I Could Be The Best Time of Your Life”, but more importantly strips down to shake her moneymaker in bra and panties. This is not the first time we’ve seen Emmanuelle in next to nothing, but we certainly haven’t gotten tired of her in the smallest amount of clothes possible. Sadly, she has only done one nude scene to date, a flash of her fantastic Quebecois can in the Showtime series The Borgias . That is one fine period piece! She also won a Mr. Skin Anatomy Award for Best Threesome with topless Swedish skinsation Malin Ackerman on Entourage. See pics after the jump!
