The Best of Binky's Johnny Weir Blog: thanks Eric your pics are awesome

Johnny during his photo shoot in Beijing on Thursday.

Photo courtesy of fabulous Beauty Bear Eric Alt,

who is a god. A really, really kind god

who took pity on all of us who spent yesterday

listlessly refreshing Twitter and Johnny's Facebook page

every two seconds in the wan hope of a stray twitpic or two

and growing more irritable by the minute,

and who thus has provided today's incredible picspam

with the promise of more to come.

Eric, THANK YOU! We love you!

OK! We begin with Eric's new blog entry from China:

Accompanied by this photo in which the people seem a little blurry BECAUSE THEY'RE MELTING ...

... but Eric is completely transfixed only by all that poor, helpless hair that must be saved ...

Thursday, July 14, 10:15 a.m., Beijing

Our heroes are off to the first event of the day: a big fashion shoot starring Johnny! (Captions in quotes provided by Beauty Bear Eric. Click on any photo for full-size view. Do it.)

Johnny heading to the shoot

with his ever-present fan.
Because he's a little melting-y too.

"Getting Johnny ready for his shoot."

"It was like he had done this before ... "

"Everyone clamoring to see Johnny on set."

"Johnny and I having fun and doing our own shot

when no one else was looking."

"Behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot ... "

"... I kept looking for where to put my tokens in.

It was like watching a peepshow!"

"The best part was when they asked Johnny

to destroy the set."

"And then we went on to do an interview

for Conservative Communist TV."

(Note Johnny fanning at the speed of light.)

Thursday, July 14, 2:25 pm

"Johnny at rehearsals ... "

"... and A Very Serious Fan."

Thursday, July 14, 4:20 pm

"Johnny holding court ... "

" ... at the press conference."

Another shot from the press conference
posted by @TU_LY on Twitter, who noted:
"At Press Conference @JohnnyGWeir described his costume
as 'Prostitute wear with lots of sparkles.'"
LOL. (Note Johnny with fan.)

And then finally:

Friday, 10 a.m.-ish, Beijing

First, another from Johnny and Eric's arrival in Beijing.
Eric says, "Here are Johnny's Chinese Angels,

who were eagerly waiting ...
I even heard them yelling 'ERIC!'???"
(Yes, of course! Because you're our rockstar too!
Just like What's-His-Face. You know. That skater dude. )

And a second one posted by @TU_LY, who tweeted:

"Poseur! Love @JohnnyGWeir's animal bag!"

And finally, this twitpic posted by @jellyfish967 last night.

LOL.

Johnny and Eric are in China!

Best wishes to them
