Johnny walks the runway for
Tumbler and Tipsy on the last day of NYFW.
Tumbler and Tipsy on the last day of NYFW.
Totally different look for him, and he seemed to have
fun with it, tweeting: “Thank you @tumblerandtipsy
and @MichaelKuluva for a brilliant day.
So happy to walk for you. Large smooch.”
REMINDER!! NYC-area fans:
Monday, September 16,
is G Lounge’s Sweet 16 party,
Don’t miss it!
So the exuberant Michael Kuluva and his Tumbler and Tipsy show are the perfect mix of frothy fabulousness with which to close out this week and wash away the stupid in a sea of neon pink, gravity-and ankle-defying glittery footwear by Ellie Shoes, and that Internet favorite: cats. Yes, there’s even an adorable fluffy white cat in the bubbly, sparkly world that is Kuluva’s show. I love every photo (and yay we have more than 30 of them!), and am kind of desperate for a YouTube of the whole wonderful thing in which to immerse myself and rinse off the residual dickishness left by John Aravosis et al and their unfortunate continuing access to keyboards and the Internet, as seen today.
To wrap up our week of Gays and Their New Must-Have Accessories for Fall: Torches and Pitchforks, please review Thursday’s post, specifically this appalling epic fail by Aravosis:
And the antidote, provided by Scott Long:
If you haven’t yet read Long’s piece, please do so ASAP; if you have, please revisit it for the comments section which, unlike any other comments section I’ve ever read where the subject is Johnny, is pretty much as articulate and non-douchey as the article itself. New comments there led me to another voice-of-reason blogger, Richard Smith, who goes by the handle “Fagburn” and has two excellent entries of his own on this subject, here and here. And then I found another: Nelson G, who wrote on his blog:
Johnny Weir, who earlier this week appeared on ESPN2’s Olbermann dressed in Russian uniform, spoke out against the boycott in a style and manner only he knows how. ... The irony is that while Weir did an in your face to Putin on national television by wearing that uniform, it’s LGBT bloggers and activists having the opposite reaction [who] are doing Putin’s bidding. ... How is attacking Weir helping Russian activists fighting from within?
Please consider sharing some of these excellent posts across social media in an effort to counteract the hysterical screeching. Interestingly—and not at all surprisingly—when a Twitter friend attempted to point Aravosis toward Long’s analysis, he responded (with a smiley face): “I don’t read that site.” Oh. OK. Completely understandable. Because educating yourself or even just briefly considering another point of view would clearly cause your entire
In other far less face-clawingly obtuse news, this event also came to my attention yesterday:
So NYC fans, you’re in luck once again—don’t miss your chance to see Johnny this coming Monday night!
And here’s a ton of picspam to remind you why you’d want to do that....

With bonus kitty. IDKY it’s there,
but now it occurs to me that every NYFW
show should have a kitty.
With some people.
And THOSE SHOES.

Looming backstage.
On the red carpet.

Excellent re-cap of all the news!!!
I'll bet you never thought when you fell in love with Johnny back in the winter of 2010, you would end up an internet activist, eh? ;-)
ooxx
Amazing how much happens when one is away on vacation. An Olympics without Johnny competing will be more mundane. But will still look forward to Johnny's commenting and sound bites. Maybe he can still room with Tanith Belbin...as co-correspondents.
Reading your blog extends the vacation feeling.
Soon, I'm back to unpacking socks worn and crusty from hiking through miles and miles of museums, plus Anne Frank's attic.
