Fortunately I've been able to successfully avoid the boring stuff thus far because people keep putting this kind of stuff in my line of vision:
Johnny from the video by NAFA,
"Johnny Weir and His Love for Fur,"
filmed at the Adrienne Landau show during NYFW.
Thank you to Ira Lisovskaya for her beautiful screencaps
Won't you support me in my completely lackluster celebration of avoidance behavior by disinterestedly enjoying the video with me?
And then of course for further random languid distraction, there was Johnny's weekend, which thankfully was documented extensively via twitpics from Chris Benz (original photos are here, here, and here). Chris' fab hair also managed to rouse me from my ennui for a millisecond.
The next day Johnny found himself--as would most people who had spent the previous evening having way too much
The "Родина-мать зовёт!" statue
("The Motherland Calls!") in Volgograd.
At first I was like, "Eh, yeah, so she seems
kinda tall whatever ..." --- until I noticed
the teensy tiny people at her feet. OMG.
Which reminds me: There's nothing like yet another Russian photo gallery from the Mishin Jubilee to break through even an extreme who-gives-a-f*ck-Imma-just-lie-here-in-my-own-desolation-and-wait-for-someone-to-bring-me-a-Starbucks-or-not-I-really-don't-care-well-actually-that-sounds-kind-of-good-now-that-you-mention-it... attitude. Many thanks to the lovely Natasha Ponarina and her gallery for bringing us gorgeous pick-me-up pics like this:
And this:
And this. Which I leave you with, macroed here in honor of Johnny's Saturday-shopping attitude and my current perspective on everything:

Okay srsly, you gotta stop making me literally L O L whilst the hub is asleep right here. He already accuses me of "Looking At Pictures Of Johnny" every time he walks by while I'm online, okay so it's a lot lately. (So what if I am?? So?? WHAT IF I AM)
Are you like, hiding in my brain or making me think your thoughts or is there some kind of universal Johnny Lovers mental ethereal whatsis new-age sounding and likely glittery crap that permeates us all on some level? Because I wanted to post that I actually had to google mesclun AND I also thought of mescaline (and then I had to go look up mescaline to make sure it was what I thought it was) and our sisters from another mister connection is kinda freakin me out. I didn't mention my lack of mesclun knowledge though because I thought maybe I am the unhealthiest salad eater in the world or maybe I should shop at Whole Foods to educate myself...culinarily. I'm gonna take your admission as a sign that it's OK not to know wtf mesclun is.
So thanks for voicing once again but funnier, everything in my head this week. I feel much better.
Whenever I'm feeling particularly blah and ick and bruised from facedesking, I'll catch myself looking at various galleries of Johnny being pretty or Youtubing his old skating routines. Lately I'll troll Facebook and scream, "Who are all these people?!" but then be happy because all of them are new fans, freshly coated in glitter and their enthusiasm perks me up a bit. Johnny does have the wonderful ability to give me the boost I need to face the day.
Todays blog definitely refreshed my sparkles. The macros are freaking awesome! Brilliant job, love everything, love you, go get some Starbucks. And Mesclun. Which I don't even know what that is.
Sorry to hear your in a "meh" mood Binks.
I know the terrible events in Japan and Libya have kinda thrown everyone into another 'great malaise'. Thank Weirsus for the photographic overlordtresses of Mother Russia! There has not been such a bumper crop of fabulousness since Johnny's trip to Japan for the Vogue shoot(I still get misty eyed thinking of that .gif with Hello Kitty).
Come to think of it...Maybe all the produce managers should get together and switch out the mesclun for some mescaline..."Meh" would get funny, and there would be a lot less pushing, and a lot more laughing at the market.
Sorry for all those drug references.
I think we are having the same week MM...thanks for making me smile with this blog.♥
Beth
Thank you for giving us all a boost with these Johnny photos and videos. Hope that Jimmy Durante gives you a little boost http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flvGmVgwkWk
Stephen Colbert calls last week a disaster turducken (turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken)...volcano compounded with tsunami plus nuclear disaster. Absolutely hate and mortified by the disasters but think the analogy fits and is dark funny.
So many of us with the blahs. Must be the state of things.
That statue is MIND-BOGGLING. I love the soviet monuments but had never seen this one before. So thank you Johnny And MM!
Oh, Binx, for a person in a bleh mood, you still do a fabulous job of bringing laughter into our lives. Honey, you just so Rock! But sorry to hear your mood has been bleh:-(
Kayso, first, I don't care for the face on that statue....But, ladies & gents, if I could have a human sized body like hers (flesh & blood of course!), oh yes! Second, I do know what Mesclun is because I eat that type of salad quite often...But, at first, I still read it as mescaline, which I have to admit I did try once, a very, very long time ago.
The pics of Johnny are beautiful and just set me to grinning. Especially as I'm sitting here in an airport waiting to board my flight home.
{{{hugs}}} Binx 8-)
The Blahs: I blame the Supermoon. Heck, I have to blame something. It certainly isn't simply because of ME. ;)
Although, in its defense, the moon is the source of my favorite Robin Williams quote: http://tinyurl.com/4rx44c9
And that makes me smile. As did today's blog. Big THANKS YOU'S to Binky, Natasha, Ira, Chris Benz, for the fanTAStic pic spam.
Poor Motherland statue looks like a typical Mom. After spending way too much time getting her army ready, she has no time for herself. "I'll just throw on this bed sheet and run my fingers through my hair. No time to properly brush, besides, war will just mess it up again anyway".
Although I'd kill to have her firm belly & t*ts.
NJ also has the Blahs. 70° a few days ago, snow on Monday, melted on Tuesday, more snow for Wednesday. I spent Monday morning sorting through unpaid medical bills when I suddenly caught an episode of BGJW. Seeing Johnny & Galina perked me up a bit. Then come more JGW photos on the internet and the next thing I know, it's time to start dinner!
In the meantime, until Spring finally does decide to come to NJ, I will greet each day with my new battle cry: "Move your cart bitch, I need to get to the mescaline"!!
oh god, the end of today just SUCKED and then i come here and see the last pic and . . .
i'm all better now.
laughing too hard to see straight, but better.
ty, Binky for being so starshiney!
xo
Robin
