Super Ultra Mega Max Death Spiral FLAIL

Johnny Weir: Designer.

Screencap from the new flail-worthy eDressMe video below!

Kayso this is the last pre-Ice Dreams post and I was going to write something semi-coherent-ish (BTW yes, I now have something to wear! But I forgot shoes! So I had to go shopping TWICE! Yay me!) but then I idly clicked on the link to Johnny's eDressMe page and there was this behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot and OMG WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS WATCH THE VIDEO:

Here, have some more screencaps. FLAIL.

Also yesterday NYMag posted photos of Johnny's whole fabulous eDressMe collection! You go look while I watch the video again.

And also a bunch of interviews with Johnny popped up. Here are some of my fav quotes for you to read while I watch the video.

From NYMag:

Describing his collection: "It's ballerina meets film noir." LOVE.

Future fashion plans: "I am going to do a holiday collection with eDressMe. I want to do really cute, lets-go-out-and-party-like-it’s-2011 dresses for New Year’s Eve and Christmas and Hanukkah. ... [another all-black collection?] No, I’m all about changing it up. I’m inspired by Fabergé eggs, and so I’m thinking Fabergé-inspired, sparkly, over-the-top glamour for the holiday collection." OMG YES THIS. FLAIL.

From the Daily Herald:

On what programs he'll be doing at Ice Dreams: "I actually will perform a brand new number that’s very much like a little droplet of my career. It is a mix of the things that have made me famous, and there will be commentary over the music from different broadcasts all over the world — good things and bad things that have been said about me. It’s my stand and my strength rolled into one number." Uh-oh. This is the quote that struck fear in the hearts of some fans. Is this career-summation piece a farewell program? Set to an Edith Piaf song? IDK. FLAIL. But I'm sure it will be amazing and beautiful and powerful and poignant.

And this little tidbit dropped by the interviewer: "Before Saturday’s show begins, there will be a red carpet event at the skating rink to unveil the Little Black Dress line [Johnny] recently designed. And the dresses will be modeled by local ice skating coaches." -FLAIL OMG ICE DREAMS IS NOW A RED CARPET EVENT FLAIL- The only red carpet I've ever been to in my life is the one in our previous family room stained by many sippy cups full of Hawaiian Punch. FLAIL.

And finally, here's a little audio snippet for you to listen to (BRB watching the video), a preview of Johnny's appearance Friday morning on Eric and Kathy's show, "The MIX," on Chicago's 101.9 FM (need to find a way to loop the first seven seconds and substitute the name of any fan's choice for "Eric"...):

Chicago fan Gary Podschun says he thinks we might be able to listen to the interview live through this link (thanks, Gary!). Wonder if 101.9 is prepared for an additional 90,000+ listeners to hit their servers this Friday....?

WE INTERRUPT THIS FLAIL TO BRING YOU A BRIEF MOMENT OF LUCID THOUGHT:

One year ago, at Ice Dreams 2010, I saw Johnny skate live for the first time. In fact, it was the first figure skating event I'd ever been to, having had absolutely zero interest in attending one until Johnny showed me what skating could be. I'll never forget it. Nor will I ever forget meeting him--or the amazing journey since then, the ride of his life that Johnny so generously invites his fans to take along with him.

I'm so excited to be returning to Ice Dreams, and to witness his debut as the designer behind this beautifully conceived, simple and elegant dress collection. And whatever the future holds for him, whichever projects he pursues next, wherever his dreams--on the ice and beyond--take him, I wish him much love, happiness, and success--and so many sales that the dresses go into multiple backorders pretty much overnight. :)

OK! See you at Ice Dreams! FLAIL!
