Kayso it's a good thing I already had this blog
pretty much written when this photo of Johnny
at the official prepaid Kardashian MasterCard launch
in NYC suddenly came across the Internet because OMG.
Absolutely so-stunning-I-have-no-words beautiful.
Huge kudos to Beauty Bears Eric Alt and Joey Camasta,
who are gods among stylists / artists--although it helps
to have such an impossibly gorgeous canvas
upon which to work their magic ...
So for those of you who may be missing out, there's this other fab Johnny blog produced by my friend and fellow Johnny fan, Nancy Knisley, called "The Quotable Johnny Weir." Subtitle: "Because Johnny Weir always says something worth quoting."
(Yes. Always. Even if it's just a word or two that becomes an instant hashtag classic, like #dapper. Or #pornorobot.)
Nancy's blog is another labor of love, put together with enormous time and effort on her part, and the result is a total treasure trove of Weirisms. Nancy painstakingly researches each quote so that we have not only what Johnny said, but where, when, and how to find it online if possible. It is an absolutely priceless collection that I refer to daily, and sometimes just roll around in when I need to. (Like I'm going to do with these if I ever get my brain back to functioning enough to be able to click on a link.) There's a reason Nancy's blog carries this cautionary label:
Warning: This blog contains nothing but Johnny Weir quotations. Reading them may become habit-forming.
Nancy posted her first entry on August 17 of this year. And yesterday--just 85 days after she began her blog--she found herself posting quote #500:
Tara is wonderful lady. She has really supple ... calves.
[Tara: You're very sexy.]
Thank you so much. You know I don't shave.
--(as Viacheslav Romanov), Be Good Johnny Weir, "God Bless America," Season 1, Ep. 8
Nancy said to me, "Isn't it astonishing that one young man could say so many quotable things? And I still have a backlog of several hundred!"
Yes, he's amazing. And very wise for his age. And also really, really funny.
And as we were exclaiming over Johnny's quotability--one of many, many characteristics of his that is exclamation-worthy ...
.......................
... but I digress ...
--Nancy suggested that really, 500 quotes was a milestone that deserved some kind of celebration.
And I wholeheartedly agreed.
And so, today we co-present--by which I mean Nancy did all the work, and I cracked up at what she sent and then copied and pasted it here--this fabulous Johnny trivia quiz based on the quotes Nancy has catalogued thus far in her blog journey. At first we were just going to run ten questions, but I loved them all so much that I'm using every single one she sent me via a two-part post. Because it's not like we don't have an endless supply... (BRB checking Johnny's Twitter feed ...)

Nancy was asking me for help with sources when she started 'The Quotable Johnny Weir' and I did provide a few, but I haven't helped that much, and she, like you, puts a lot of work into her Blog! Very much appreciated!
