Johnny’s column is back!
After a five-month hiatus, he returns to the Falls Church
News-Press today to tackle an uncomfortable subject:
what to do when you find that nude photos of yourself
have just been released to America’s tabloids.
He handles the moment with grace, humor, and dignity
in this frank and inspiring must-read.
Dear Johnny,
we believe in you,
we support you, and
we love you always. ♥
we love you always. ♥
Note: Candles last only 48 hours, so please visit often
to keep the love and light shining...

So obviously the whole point of today’s post is to watch Johnny’s Bollywood performance over and over and over, and then take a break to enjoy the pics, and then watch him in the opening and closing group numbers, then go back to the pics, then Bollywood again....
Yes, I see your eyes straying down past this text portion already....
And really, I don’t want to delay you even for a moment. But there’s just one quick thing before I lose you completely to the gloriousness that was everything about Fantasy on Ice in general and Johnny in particular:
Johnny’s 30th birthday
is just three weeks away!!!
So yay, it’s fan project time!
This year a very very special fan gift has been chosen for Johnny that we hope he will love, and that we hope expresses in some small way how much his fans love him and how much we will always have his back.
In addition to this special item, this year fans also have the opportunity to send Johnny personal birthday messages! Here’s how to join in:
(1) To contribute to the special gift, please send PayPal to misfitmimes@gmail.com. No amount is too small! Deadline for contributions is tentatively Monday, June 30, but that may be extended if needed.
(2) Because this is a special gift that we’d like to remain a surprise for Johnny, the details can’t be posted here on the blog. But please know that it has been chosen with care, and it is beautiful and very Johnny.
(3) If contributions exceed the cost of the special gift—which, given the generosity of Johnny’s fans, is very likely—the remainder will go toward a gift card for Johnny.
(4) Please include your personal birthday message to Johnny with your contribution. You may include the message on the PayPal form, or, if you need to write something longer than the form allows, you may email your message separately to misfitmimes@gmail.com. All the messages will be given to Johnny in a lovely book designed and printed for his birthday.
(5) If you’re not able to contribute to the gift but would like to send a birthday message to be included in the book, please feel free to do so!
As the big day draws near, we’ll let you know when the gift is on its way to Johnny. If you have any questions about the birthday gift project, please feel free to email me.
And now: on to the multimedia magnificence! This year Fantasy on Ice was broadcast live on Japanese television, so we are wonderfully and gratefully awash in video and screencaps. Enjoy!

— Johnny Weir (@JohnnyGWeir) June 13, 2014Sendai is Yuzu’s hometown and one of the cities hardest hit by the devastating 2011 tsunami. To host this show of male figure-skating legends is both a dream come true for Yuzu and a triumph for his beloved city, and the emotion was palpable for performers and audience alike. What a truly amazing evening—with two more performances ahead on Saturday!
