I was surprised and dismayed when Kim Cloutier (who’s 24 today) didn’t come back after her 2009 debut.

I found her breathtaking. That auburn hair, those pale eyes, those Platonic ideals of lips. She demanded your attention, then seemed to shrug it off.

I wonder if her cool, almost disdainful Montréality played a role in her not returning in 2010. Is she not in line with the warmer, more playful SI look? Maybe.

But I could have stared at a lot more of her.
