sally wishuponastar: Being hot is like having a superpower

James Edward Quaintance III is not a normal guy; he’s an amazing mix of everything good in this world.

I would like to take total credit for the title of this article, but it’s actually inspired by his Instagram account. How very modern of me! The real reason I’m writing about James Quaintance is that I’m ~~not so~~ secretly hoping all that cool might be contagious.

So let me hit you with some prime quality storytelling!

James Edward Quaintance III or Jimmy Q (even his name is great) is a pro skater, model, tattoo artist and rock star born in Los Angeles. A bit of an over-achiever, aren't we?

Originally a very appreciated pro-skater with mad skills in that area, Jimmy Q started modeling (2011) and immediately made an impression with his very particular look. Being born in Venice (also known as Dog Town), the center of all things skateboarding, paid off for James in more ways than one.

He was signed by Select models and walked the runway in major shows (Oliver Spencer, Pringle of Scotland) while also appearing in numerous magazines (Nylon, Huge, Wylder, lookbook for Beautiful Fül). Not to mention he’s a God on Tumblr and Pinterest which, let’s face it, it’s all that really matters.

James obviously loves tattoos and he is a walking talking piece of art and a promoter of the FreshTrends culture that’s so big in LA. He doesn’t only proudly showcase his tattoos, but he also practices - he's a professional tattoo artist himself.

And there’s also the now defunct, but once epic love story with Pippa Holland who just happens to be equally as unique and beautiful. They started dating after talking for months and months on Facebook, until that wasn’t enough anymore so they decided that they had to be together. And even though they had never met in person until then, he flew to England from Venice and so they got together ~~ever since~~ for a while. Heartwarming, right? I bet many of you can relate!

Everybody thought those two were made for each other. Many dedicated Tumblr Pages and Pinterest boards were created to celebrate this perfect union of hotness and tattoos. They even appeared together in the video for Bleach Blood’s Anything Anything song were they played two strangers who get very cozy in a bar, only to realize they just imagined everything. Don’t you just hate that? Can't tell you how many times I thought I was making out with very hot guys and then I woke up and had to face reality.:))))

They apparently split up after four years of relationship, but I couldn’t find out more which, I’m not going to lie, it’s infuriating. I’m really good at digging shit out on the internet, but I lost my patience trying to find out what the status of their relationship is. The rumor was Pippa dumped him, but I couldn’t bet my life on it. They are still friends though, which gives you hope! Pippa seems to have dated Rikki Hall at one point (she clearly has a type), but it wasn’t long lived since he moved on to Lauren Capulet and then Kelly Osbourne.

Jimmy Q is the coolest guy in town, his attitude screams “I don’t really give a damn”, he has that old school badass presence about him, carries himself like a rock star and has the wardrobe to back it up.

I’m always getting a modern Elvis meets James Dean vibe with him – it must be that sick hair and his signature style slim jeans and leather jackets or slick suites that look amazing against his tattoos. Based on my thorough research he is pretty much addicted to cigarettes and likes jewelry as much as most girls do. He also loves puppies and kittens!!!

James Edward Quaintance III is also the vocalist of a punk rock band called Former Lovers. I don’t know how much success he has with his band as they haven’t updated their band Facebook page singe October 2012, but hopefully they are just too busy to do it (probably not though).

I really like this guy since he seems like a truly nice person, a well grounded man that‘s still rooted in reality even though he is so darn handsome, successful and talented!

What prompted this obvious statement you ask? Well, Game of Thronesseason 4 premiere is actually today (April 6th) but I been waiting long time so, in between, I went to see Pompeii in an effort to deal with my Jon Snow withdrawal.

The Starks and their wolfs!

Kit Harington being all hot and adorable! #thatface

I used to go to the movies quite often, but not so much lately! The fact that I work 12 hours a day might have something to do with it. But I made this new deal with a few of my friends that we have to go to the cinema at least once a week (already broken the deal twice, but here’s to hope).

Coming back to Pompeii, I had an amazing time. I can’t say I was too impressed with the movie, it’s not mind-blowing or anything but, boy, oh boy, was I impressed by Kit Harington's abs! If you are a Game of Thrones fan and especially a John Snow fan, you have to go see this movie. Kit and his six packs were epic.

Get it?! It's funny on so may levels! Kit Harington was actually dating Rose Leslie (the actress that embodies Ygritte in Game of Thrones) in real life, but they broke up and he's apparently single right now.

Great visual from Pompeii!

All that I understood from the entire movie was that (SPOILER ALERT!) everyone died (which sucked, but hey, the movie is called Pompeii and we all know what happened there). Fortunately, I was too distracted by Kit and automatically went into a daydream spiral where he was my boyfriend and got over it pretty fast. I’m almost sure most of the girls in the audience had the same reaction, nothing special with me! I’m not even ashamed, that’s how hot he was in this movie!

If I think about it, I was actually a victim, subjected to that whole display of hot bodies in leather ~~men~~skirts! What is a girl to do in such a situation? Also I blame Milo (aka Kit) for making that volcano erupt! Just think about it for a second - until he came to town it was all good, people were chilling, then he got into the arena, let all that steamy hotness out in the open and crazy things started to happen!

I knew I was onto something wonderful when I got my eyes on Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, but how was I to know he has all of that hidden under his winter gear. Winter be damned! At least if winter is coming, let Jon Snow be my blanket!

The writers of Game of Throneshave to pick up the pace and send John into the desert and get him shirtless ASAP. That would just throw Game of Thrones into a whole new league! The thing is, I read all the books (well, those published until now) in the A Song of Ice and Fire saga and I know that’s not going to happen, but there’s still hope, since we all know how partial to nudity HBO is!:))))
