Be daring, be different,
be impractical,
be anything that will assert
integrity of purpose and imaginative vision
against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of the commonplace,
the slaves of the ordinary.
--Sir Cecil Beaton

Johnny at work.
Fashion on Ice skater warm-up,
September 2011.
(Note: In photo #15 below, the white flecks on his shirt
are from a fall he took on the ice.)
I have always tried
to hide my efforts
and wished my works to have
a light joyousness of springtime
which never lets anyone suspect
the labors it has cost me.
--Henri Matisse

Hey! Johnny's scheduled to be on VH1 today
at 9 am EDT/PDT, 8 am CDT!!
Please join me in supporting GLAAD's Spirit Day initiative!
From GLAAD's website: "Millions of Americans wear purple
on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying.
Spirit Day was started in 2010 by teenager Brittany McMillan
as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives.
Observed annually on October 20, individuals, schools, organizations,
corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple,
which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag."
More info here on how you can get involved!
I will of course be wearing my purple
Johnny Weir-Traver Rains "Army of One" T-shirt that day.

As lovely as he looks when he's all dolled up, I think candid shots like these are often when Johnny seems most beautiful. These are wonderful, thank you and your super talented son for sharing FOI so generously.
I really really wish I could be at the ITNY show, maybe one day I'll win the lottery and see Johnny skate live. Hope you and everyone else lucky enough to be there has the best time ever - I'm sure you will. And then pretty please share photos and videos?
ahhhhh, there's nothing like a real Johnny smile! LOVE!! ♥
ty, David and Binky!! and also Alice, for providing support and new Russian swear words! oops, i mean slang! sure. uh-huh.
SO excited for ITNY and Johnny's new piece!! remember when he first skated Heartbroken?!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
p.s. Husbands is now my 2nd fave show.
I love black and white pics and I agree with Vicky about candid shots and all.
These pics and its subject are beautiful.
Thanks for sharing all the beauty.
A lily is beautiful, whether gilded or as is. Thank you for capturing these moments forever, with all the attendant blood, toil, tears and sweat involved thereby.
