Note: Candles last only 48 hours, so please visit often

to keep the love and light shining...

So I had hoped to post this hours ago but this has been one of those days when odd little things keep popping up and getting in my way, like some kind of bizarre Whack-A-Mole game that I’m forced to play though I don’t even want to and the game keeps stopping and starting, sort of freezing up randomly like my Internet connection, which is another whole source of wanting to beat things with a mallet until they stop moving, but anyway I also lost a fair amount of time because Johnny keeps posting stuff to Instagram that causes me to freeze up in wonder every time I go look and if for some unfathomable reason you’re still not following him there OMG DO IT NOW because this is just a sampling from today:

6:48 am EDT: “A little ‘Drunk in Love’ to ‘loveseat’

to this morning. #surfboard”

7:20 am EDT: “Say Something.

Or perhaps less?”

UPDATE!

10:07 am EDT, posted by @landrew302:

“Sweet meeting the inspirational Johnny Weir!

#johnnyweir #triplethreat #liveyourpassion”

10:21 am EDT: “Starfish Sweat.

Monster workout at @TheStudioLeone.”

Tweeted in response a few moments later

by his trainer, Carolanne Leon.

10:26 am EDT: “Starfish fail @johnnygweir”

3:20 pm EDT: “Go big or go home!”

So anyway, I have soldiered through the onslaught of agony and awesome that has been my day, and finally got this finished-ish and posted so you can come and savor the screencap photo art and most importantly, THE VIDEO, just in time for my Internet to fail again, so please enjoy while I sit here patiently waiting, mallet in hand...

All pics below created from screencaps, mostly from the beginning of his Bollywood program which is likely the most delicious five seconds you’ll spend doing anything today.

Video!! Johnny’s Bollywood performance from Sendai in HD!

Very special thanks to Elena Vasilyeva for clipping this

from the full show video for all of us who maybe just want

to watch this part over and over and over...

And here’s the entire broadcast! Johnny’s Bollywood

begins at about 21: 36. Unfortunately his Schindler’s List performance

was cut to fit the broadcast time slot, but he does also appear

in the show’s opening and closing numbers!

Bonus video!! Promo for Artistry on Ice,

which begins July 25 in Beijing.

Weibogeddon awaits...!

And one more:

a heart for all his fans. ♥
