Happy Fourth of July! Here, Have Something Sparkly

Well, we've kind of come to the end of our fun-filled fling with Fukuoka (although I'm still wistfully hoping for twitpics from the fan meeting in Tokyo which was yesterday which is a concept that grows ever more vague for me cuz they were having it during my tomorrow), so here's the last bit of Fukuoka picspam--or "picspasms," as my Twitter friend @cleopatra457 says, which may be a far more accurate term when we're talking about Johnny and playgrounds and pretty damn sparkly stuff ...

Before the show, staff members work the
World Figure Skating booth on the arena concourse.

World Figure Skating is the Japanese publisher

of both Johnny’s incredible Mook Book

(OMG if you don't already own this ORDER. ONE. NOW.

Why are you still reading here? Really. Go on. I'll wait.)

and the Japanese edition of Welcome to My World.

Holding up the Mook and Welcome to My World

to see if there are any interested customers ...

... Why yes. Yes, there are.

Super Managtress Tara with the incomparably fabulous

Akiko Tamura, one of my journalism heroes.

Akiko has known and interviewed Johnny since before his first

Olympic appearance in 2006. She wrote the sensitive, thoughtful,

and deeply insightful pieces in the Mook

that my dear friend Akiko Nakata translated for us.

(Haven't read them yet? There's no time to waste!
Just type "Mook" in the search box on the blog
to find them all, beginning with

this interview with Patti. Not to be missed!)

Akiko interviews Johnny and Yuzuru Hanyu before the show.

Johnny with a group of Spanish dancers

who also performed in the show. All I know about them

is the description from sources, which was: "HOT HOT HOT!!!"

More from Johnny's birthday party,

held in the Skaters' Lounge between performances

on Saturday, July 2. Everybody is happy

to celebrate with him! :)

Johnny with his cake here ...

... and here ...

... and here!

Obviously needed to be photographed repeatedly
because how often do you see Johnny

holding a gigantic cake on a platter?

And with Tomáš Verner here. :)

OK then! That about wraps it up!

Oh wait ... I almost forgot ...

Here you go.

Happy Fourth!

Johnny backstage in his new Bad Romance costume.

The BlackBerry was so jetlagged at this point it could barely
open its lens, but oh! The sparkliness! The sheerness!

And did I mention the sparkle?

Yes! The sheer sparkly sheerness of it all!

Happy Fourth of July, Johnny!

Thank you for the sparkle you bring

to everyone around the world.

We love you! ♥
