"Johnny Weir Can Skate a Little."

Johnny unveils Poker Face for the very first time 

at the VMAN Magazine launch party, 

NYFW, Feb. 2009. VMAN blogged about 

his "bravura performance" in a brief piece titled,

"Johnny Weir Can Skate a Little."

It was a program born out of one of the darker times in his career, after a disastrous 2009 Nationals and subsequent controversial snub by USFS, who left him off the Worlds team despite having sent him to Worlds every year since 2003.
