The life of Jimmy Q – James Edward Quaintance III's story

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!

Kit Harington is magic

What prompted this obvious statement you ask? Well, Game of Thrones season 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 Thrones have 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!:))))

I wouldn't mind, Jon Snow! I love traveling!:)))

I need all of these Game of Thrones dolls! I've never seen anything more adorable in my life.

Underwear campaigns that make us droll

Based on the brand’s track record, we can safely say Armani has a soft spot for celebrity endorsers and in that niche sport personalities get the big slice of the cake. For the last few seasons we had the chance to see David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal with only their Armani briefs on!

Don’t think we are not grateful for that! Armani has a proclivity towards elite athletes when it comes to its underwear line and I can see why, it works for everybody: men are happy, women are even happier. 

David Beckham is obviously my favorite – his willingness to strip down and show us his extraordinary physique is a thing of beauty. He’s really a visionary, the poster child (pun intended) for reaching outside your field of expertise. At this point Becks is basically a part time underwear model. And you know what, guys? He does a great job with this as well!

Back in 2008 Selfridges reported a 150% rise in sales for men's briefs after hundreds of fans invaded the store to droll over larger than life photos of Beckham showing his drawers. No wonder Victoria nicknamed him "Golden Balls" – the guy is worth his weight in gold!

I don’t expect everybody to agree with me so you can cast your vote in the comment section after carefully analyzing the pictures I’m going to provide for you!

So who looks hotter in their Armanis: Beckham, Ronaldo or Nadal?

I know you down to the core

One lesson I learned this weekend is that I should never leave the house without covering myself head to toe in sunscreen. My skin is not meant for natural tanning or any kind of direct contact with the elements. There’s nothing like a serious sunburn to get some common sense into me. Again!!!

Another thing is I really dislike people that say no to things and experiences without giving them a chance. I love tattoos and body jewelry even though I don’t have any – it’s one of the Fresh Trends I have always been into and this predilection of mine has only grown in intensity with time.

Anybody who said they hate this and that has obviously never seen tattoos, red hair or piercings on the right person! Looking a bit different, taking decision that not everybody will is a good thing, you don’t have to do what everybody else does, wears and thinks only to feel normal. You see, I’m not unreasonable and here are my arguments (because no one in his right mind would ever say no to these):

Yes, I will go out with you, don't frown that pretty face of yours!:)))

 This comes directly from Sherlock Holmes, so you better listen!

Don’t you go breaking my heart, Ryan Gosling!

I'm quietly sobbing right now because I can’t imagine why these words came out of his mouth, but they did! A couple of days ago Ryan Gosling said he “needs a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does”. 

There is no such thing as too much of you, Ryan Gosling! Just like the air you are universal, dude!

And I feel obliged to respond because, truly Ryan, if I  have ever made you feel like I was sick of your perfect everything,  I’m sorry and believe me, as hard as it is, because I rarely say sorry, I’m now here asking you, in the name of humanity - stop with the nonsense! 

I don’t know what it’s about him, maybe the fact the he is super hot or the fact that I like the feminist Ryan Gosling making an appearance now and again or maybe the Ryan Gosling style or the whole Ryan Gosling and Rachel Mcadams thing.

It could also be the fact that he's breaking up fights in New York City but I really like him and I think he is a pretty good actor as well so it’s a shame he wants to go on this break.

Well, at least we have two more Ryan Gosling movies lined up for this spring. The first is ”The Place beyond the Pines” on March 29 (he co stars with his girlfriend Eva Mendes) and “Only God Forgives” in May. He will also direct his first movie “How to Catch a Monster” before going away.

 

The reason Ryan Gosling needs this break is for his artistic equilibrium: "I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that." 

I hope this is just a very smart and calculated move on his part to avoid becoming one of Hollywood’s golden boys that are everywhere for a few years and then just disappear.

That’s why you have my blessing to go off and do your thing, boy! I will be here waiting for you! 

I’m a tough cookie but if you are one of many that are not sure that they can ever lift themselves out of the spiral of depression this announcement threw you in I’m here to give you some good Ryan Gosling news.
Stop crying, put down the napkins and rest assured that you can survive this too!

As it turns out you can get help! Just find a phone and call the Gosline! 

No, I’m not joking! I’m really not! The Gosline is a phone support hotline for all the broken hearts out there.

It’s true that it’s not free, like most support lines, but hey, can you put a price on the chance to hear The Gos himself whispering sweet words over the phone? I thought so!!! So yeah, go ahead, nobody will judge. We are all humans here and we do understand the true tragedies in life!

So, do you reckon you are going to need any therapy?:)))
