Johnny's Back in Japan!

Let the dancing begin.

Special thanks to whoever made this glorious gif 
and to @dapperderp for posting it on Twitter
and making everyone's day. :) 
Thanks also to Deb Walsh for helping me to remember 
that this is from the closing credits of the BGJW Season 1 finale 
which in no way sent my desperate need for Season 2 
skyrocketing all the way up to 11 ...



And thus also begins another round of When In The World Are They And Why....

....I'm sorry, that gif is really quite distracting...

....Why Can't I....

....Something....

..............

.....yeah.....

Anyway.

Oh yes! When In The World Are They And Why Can't I Grasp. The. Concept. (Well, probably because it involves math, which immediately causes my eyes to glaze over and my mind to wander dreamily off in search of a land where the square root of everything is rainbows, all of which are composed entirely of Johnny gifs....). 

Although I have again updated the handy blog clock there to the right. As if that helps.

So with any luck at all, they've made it to Japan without any unfortunate hand-sanitizer mishaps (they had just arrived in Tokyo as of this writing, at about 3:30 a.m. CDT, with fans at the airport subsequently reporting that Johnny warmly and graciously gave hugs, autographed books, posed for photos, and seemed ... tired) and landing conveniently just ahead of Tropical Storm Talas, Irene's less-well-known but terrifyingly bad-tempered Asian cousin who is expected to roar into Tokyo possibly Friday, possibly as a full-blown typhoon.

Yikes.

Here's hoping Talas calms down and decides that really, the anger-management stuff is paying off and there's no need to go all Tuco on anyone (yes, I'm completely caught up on Dexter and Shameless so now I'm hopelessly addicted to Breaking Bad), especially not Japan, where the devastating effects of the March earthquake and tsunami are still being felt.

Personally, I think the only force of nature Japan should ever again experience is Johnny--in all these wonderful ways as depicted by dear @ayukovon, who has outdone herself yet again with these incredibly adorable mini-Johnnys in "Pieces of July I and II" (please click twice for full-size view. And OMG! The pink pandas! ):





So whilst we await pics from Japan, we can roll around in all 36 of these mini-portraits, perfect as avatars on absolutely every site you use (and making it worth your while to join more just so you can post them all).

And we also have two new uploads of his performances from Taipei (thanks to Anastasia Pryanikova for spotting these!) to tide us over:


Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien....


...and Bad Romance
(plus a view of the opening video 
as seen on the Jumbotron! 
Note to self: Need more screencaps...).



Bonus pic! Photo and concept

on Johnny's fan page yesterday. Love!



Off-topic (kind of but not really): There's a new web comedy series premiering September 13 called Husbands, starring Sean Hemeon and Brad Bell (@GoCheeksGo, who is hysterically funny). Brad is writing and producing the show alongside executive producer Jane Espenson, one of the brilliant minds behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Torchwood, Game of Thrones, etc. (and one of my personal writing heroes).

From the website: 


TheInsider.com has a great writeup about the show and a brief clip (which moves really fast, so you have to listen closely to catch the dialogue!). Please watch, then check out the Husbands website and "like" their Facebook page! Can't wait to see more!

Making Mondays Better, One Drawing / Screencap at a Time...

So the NYC airports are supposed to be open today, so I'm thinking that means Johnny and Tara are headed for Japan today or tomorrow. I loved this Twitter dialogue last week:



Tweeted in response by the lovely artist @ayukovon, whose Johnny artwork is always a joy. :)

Here are a few more just this month from @ayukovon:

Love these tiny Johnnys! She explained to those of us 
exclaiming over them on Twitter: 
"These little Js are some sketches of the pictures 
which I draw now." I can't wait!


From yesterday. Beautiful. I don't know what the text says, 
but I'm sure it's as lovely as the drawings.


Screencaps posted by @ayukovon 
from the fab beginning of this
Bad Romance performance from China. 
Yes, I already discussed this life-changing 18 seconds
previously. But Peace Schuyler and I 
can't stop watching, so...



PLEASE STAND BY












THANK YOU.



And one more from @ayukovon:


Yep. That is all.

Oh, and just one more screencap, for Peace, who wasn't having her best day ever recently... 


...but maybe it's better now...



Wishing Johnny and Tara safe travels, 
and wonderful shows for Johnny and all the Japanese fans! 
(And maybe some picspam for the rest of us, 
although there are still 10 more seconds of that vid 
that have yet to be screencapped...)

Yesterday at Fireworks Sports Marketing...







That she did

For which we all are forever grateful. Here's hoping she finds a playground in Niigata where she can take him next week between Fantasy On Ice rehearsals and photograph the hell out of him...



Weir said, ‘Nobody scares me. 
I'm afraid of sharks and spiders.’ 
(Later, he added his agent, 
Tara Modlin, to the list).
Lancaster Online, January 16, 2011. 
Many thanks to Nancy Knisley 
of  The Quotable Johnny Weir blog
for reminding me of this quote!



Bonus pics! Tweeted by designer Betsey Johnson yesterday: 
"Skater @JohnnyGWeir just stopped by the showroom
for his Fashion on Ice fitting! 
Wonder what his outfit looks like??"


And another from Tara of the same moment!



One more! Somehow I missed this on Asher Levine's site
but fortunately dear Tatiana rescued me 
from my ignorance last night 
and sent me over there to ooooh and aaaah...



Very special thanks 
to Super Managtress Tara Modlin 
for the exclusive photos!! 
Uncapped Johnny and Josh photo

Tremors

And once again Twitter writes my posts for me:

(BTW Johnny's tweet was retweeted by more than 100 people
and also got picked up by Rumor Fix and included in its story
on celebrity reactions to the East Coast earthquake!)



Tremor? Yeah. He's got your tremor right here. Just ask designer Asher Levine.

Photo tweeted by Johnny of his fitting 
at Asher's studio yesterday.



Or my dear friend Deb.




Bonus tremors: This simply and beautifully written Tumblr post by another dear friend, Tatiana Edrenkina, is one of the best descriptions of how the force of nature that is Johnny changes people's lives. Don't miss it! Love this, Tanya. Thank you for sharing.

Johnny meets Tatiana 
(the lovely person in the fabulous red shirt!).
