in Moscow. Please do click for the larger image,

(Note: I know he hates to look sweaty, but this photo is 
beautiful while also offering a glimpse of how hard he works, 
every night, to give the audience his very best.)

Yes, we have been awash for days in endless Snow King pics and vids coming out of Russia, about which we are of course not complaining at all except for the occasional deep sigh and long, melancholy gaze out the window as we contemplate the life choices that have brought us to this moment in which somehow we do not live in Russia and we apparently can’t have nice things where we live.

 But then Johnny tweeted this over the weekend:

new pics below! 

UPDATE: NEW pics from Russia!
And now brief video of Johnny!




UPDATE!!
From the New York Times:

Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, whose critical, entertaining and fashion-conscious figure skating analysis on NBCSN drew praise during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, have earned an expected promotion to the lead team for the sport on the NBC Sports Group.

 NBC will announce the change Wednesday.

 “Tara and Johnny are a very authentic team,” Jim Bell, the executive producer of NBC Olympics, said in a telephone interview. “They’re fun and fresh. They’re not afraid to offer strong opinions and come back and take a selfie on Instagram.”

 He added: “You look for their kind of chemistry. You can’t make it up.”

 Lipinski and Weir will be the prime-time voices of figure skating for NBC during the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, but will start in their new roles during the NBC broadcast of Skate America on Sunday.

Our Story Thus Far.

 Which is sadly lacking in actualfax story. All I’ve got is, “Once upon a time, Johnny went to Russia for Snow King rehearsals and stayed there forever, possibly longer.”
