Johnny skates to Dima Bilan's "Safety,"
St. Petersburg, Russia, March 8, 2011.
Photo by Tatiana Edrenkina, who rocks. Wow.
Yay! He's home! And I'm glad he's back safe and sound and I hope he can get some really good sleep in his own bed yada yada yada but honestly I hardly had time to even glance up when his tweet came through because OH. MY. GOD. THE. PHOTOS. AND. VIDS. FROM. RUSSIA.
Wow: The Sequel. Johnny performs Heartbroken,
St. Petersburg, Russia, March 8, 2011. Photo by Thallja,
Tatiana notes that, in honor of International Women's Day
and "all his ladies," Johnny wore a pink headband
instead of the black one that is usually part of this costume.
A thoughtful and heartfelt Son of Wow to this.
So I think he's home for a week, and then he's off to Japan to commentate on Worlds for JSports which is not actually a media outlet available to me here through Children of the Corn Cable Company, so some of us have been wistfully looking for a possible livestream which thus far has not been a successful venture SWEET WEIRSUS HERE'S SOME EXCELLENT VIDEO:
Beautiful every time. Oh, and there's a funny story
about the music for this performance,
which is to say that there wasn't any--until Tatiana
raced across St. Petersburg and saved the day.
So anyway: There also are some new items on his Events page, including the annual Skating With the Stars Gala, a fundraising event for the wonderful Figure Skating in Harlem organization! This is happening at Trump Wollman Rink in Central Park on Monday, April 4, from 6 to 9 pm, and it's one of those deals where if you go, you get to Skate. With. Him. Which once again leaves me feeling like if my life were one of those mall maps, everything I want to do is happening at the part of the mall that's farthest from where I am, which is staring uncomprehendingly at the "You Are Here" icon which is actually somewhere outside the mall near the dumpsters and the entrance the rats normally use OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THIS VIDEO AND NO I DON'T CARE THAT HE HAD A SLIGHT FALL EARLY IN THE PERFORMANCE IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF THEM (OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENED TO HIM) BUT WHATEVER THIS COSTUME:
Wow III: Electric Boogaloo.
I really like his interpretation of the song,
especially the ending.
Also there's big news WAIT LOOK MORE VIDEO FROM BEHIND THE SCENES THE BEST PART IS THE 8 SECONDS FROM 2:48 T0 2:56.
LOL.
What was I saying? Oh, yes, the big news: Pop Star On Ice is finally out on DVD!! You can order it from the Pop Star On Ice website (you also can follow them on Twitter: @PopStarOnIce). Of course it doesn't matter that I already have it on iTunes and on my TiVo. It's a DVD. Hello. ALSO THIS BEHIND-THE-SCENES GALLERY ON FACEBOOK OUGHT TO BE OUT ON DVD AS WELL. I LOVE THE RUSSIAN FANS. LOVE THEM.
So wow, wow, wow, and wow some more. We have just an embarrassment of riches from Russia that really has left me little time to pay any attention to whatever what's-his-name is actually doing now that's he's back (hopefully he's just sleeping anyway) because Tatiana keeps posting stuff and now I'm Stuck. On. This. Photo.
Yeah. If you need me, I'll just be over here whispering, "Wow ..." repeatedly to myself ...
Very special thanks to all the Russian fans
who have so generously posted pics and vids
in so many places that I can't even keep up.
You are all fabulous!!

Thanks MM and Russian fans for sharing this!!! A-Mazing, loved the costumes so much, that safety costume is gorgeous!! LOVE!! and of course LOVE Johnny's incredibly beautiful skating! ♥♥♥
very excited about Worlds and praying that someone can get a link to Johnny's commentary! #mustseeit! or maybe universal sports will somehow decide to pay for the rights to air it? I tweeted their skating acct to ask, but you know how well my tweets to universal sports have gone lately so...Hoping something surfaces!
