Please watch this:
OMG.
This.
This is skating.
This is skating unfettered by points and politics and petty power plays.
This is skating as performance art--as Cirque du Soleil meets the Bolshoi meets Lady Gaga in an explosion of passion and athleticism and beauty and artistry so spellbinding that you are absolutely mesmerized and all you know is you can't explain it--you can only experience it--and Sweet Weirsus, you wish it would never end.
And also that you would pay big, big money to see hours of this nonstop. Like, say, in a Skating Spectacular starring the only man on the planet who can create this kind of art on ice. Who is so dazzling, so captivating, so expressive, and who so embodies every note of music that you are completely transported into another world--an exotic, erotic, deliciously dangerous place that slices right through your soul and leaves you ...
... spent.
Wow.
And so.
I'm back where I started all those months ago.
When I wrote, in my very first entry on this blog, the exact same thing I thought last night after watching this performance--even on that teensy tinsy rink (and BTW Denis, Jennifer, and Keauna were all fabulous as well):
[Other competitive skaters are] Math on Ice.
Johnny is [beautiful, blazing hot, poignant, leaving you out of breath and always wanting more] Sex on Ice.
Yes.
So much yes.
(Oh, and Rebecca won! Yay!)
Caged no more ...
The cover art for "Dirty Love" is now
Congratulations to winners
Rebecca Budig and Fred Palascak!
(Dear Santa: Thank you for the early Weirmas presents--
Rebecca's win and Johnny's performance!
Now could you please give Johnny his own skating show
that airs daily on my TV...? )
