// Hedi Klum Made A Very Kate Moss-esque Music Video, Strip Poles and All //



Who knew that Hedi Klum had a bad ass side to her personality? Apparently, legendary photog Rankin who shot the German blonde bombshell for his Hunger TV online channel did indeed knew.

Premiering on the Hunger's YouTube channel just yesterday (named after Rankin's new magazine), we see Hedi swapping out high fashion glam for glam rock hardcoreness as she sings and swings her way through every rock and roll cliché. We're talking about wearing sunglasses in a dark-lit setting; getting a tattoo done by a pudgy, bearded dude that's balding; inhaling tons of cigarettes; singing into a studio-recording microphone; dry-humping a guitar in the rain; grinding up on a strip pole; and getting too cozy with our dear American flag.

I don't know about you guys but this is the kind of video I'd expect Kate Moss to star in. I mean, she has the rock and roll credentials being married to The Kills' Jamie Hince, as well as being the GF of one of rock's eternal hot messes, Pete Doherty. Plus, she's already got her stripping experience down from appearing alongside a pole in a music video for The White Stripes a few years back. 

Oh, and all that cigarette smoking? Definitely a Kate Moss trademark.

// FREEBIE ALERT: Win A Brand New Laptop From HP! //

HP ENVY 14 Spectre_frontrightopen

Let's face it–there's a 87% chance that you need a new laptop, am I right?

GOOD NEWS - The nice folks over at HP want to give one CLICK/CLASH reader a brand new HP ENVY 14 Spectre laptop!

But, what's so great about this laptop anyway?

Well...
--It has scratch-resistant glass [amazing] on three surfaces for a stunning, eye-catching look.

--Baller 14" inch high definition display and up to 9 hours of battery life.

--Beats Audio sound technology, designed by HP with Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, and analog dial to adjust audio levels for your "DJ gigs."

--Backlit keyboard for those late nights on the grind.



Funny enough, the other week HP actually took me and a few other cool blogger folks in NYC along a bit of a treasure-hunt-meets-live-action-mystery-play-tour around the Downtown hoods of FiDi, Chinatown, Little Italy and NoLita, with the Spectre as the leading star of the whole shebang. 



Don't believe me? Then check out these photos below:

[Side note: there was a "Russian" mafioso a la Brighton Beach circa 1991 character during this whole ad-ven-ture thing that I couldn't stop laughing over. Totally reminded me of my days growing up in Northeast Philadelphia where my Russian/Polish native speaking parents would take me to every weekend to go to Russian/Polish places. Yup.]
