Suddenly Strange Feelings for Jamie Hince

I’ve definitely been one of those on the “WTH” side of the fence when seeing Kate Moss with Jamie Hince. He isn’t obviously hot (or even subliminally hot) and there’s a geekiness that radiates from him that I can’t pinpoint the source of… is it his hair? his goofy grin? his awkward hunched shoulders and stance??

But today I stumbled upon a music video linked on Topshop’s blog that changed just about everything in the way I see Kate Moss’s goofy companion.

Satellite by The Kills:

The song itself is alright, but the video is awwwwesome. I love film-noir and non-hollywood-pretty characters who do their own thing. And my thoughts of Jamie Hince now? Well, where can I find one of my own! He shows a playfulness in the video that I think comes off as goofiness in photos. And I love that.

And it’s interesting but I’ve met people who are insanely attractive in person but come out consistently awful in photos. There’s something about them in motion, the way they move or SOMETHING that photos can’t seem to capture the beauty of. And hearing admiration of others who’ve seen Jamie Hince in person, I’m thinking the same is of him. I still don’t think of him as gorgeous, but he’s definitely much more attractive in the video. Not that looks really matter with some folks. It certainly doesn’t to me beyond the first few hours
