Exclusive ATS Photos! A Great New Interview! And Christmas in October!

We begin with brief but oh-so-beautiful ATS picspam, courtesy once again of the wonderful Nicole Davis, who, as Irene Chang suggested, really should quit her job and just follow Johnny around to photograph and video him for the rest of us. I'm good with that.

Johnny during the opening number.

He has his Heartbroken eye makeup already applied

because there was little time for costume/makeup changes

between numbers, according to attendees.

More from the opening number.

The beginning of Heartbroken.

And the beginning of Poker Face. Of course.

Johnny during the finale, maybe photographing / videoing ...

something? Someone? I dunno, but it makes me smile!

New interview of Johnny on NJ.com is a must-read!
Please check out the wonderful article by Adam Robb--who elicited yet more great Johnny quotes, actually listened to what Johnny said, and even understood the bantering going on around him during the interview--with fabulous photos like this one by Novembergirl Fotographie, including quite possibly the most lovely photo of Tara I've ever seen, which finally (almost) does her justice. :) Don't miss it!

from his jewelry collection."

Special to the blog! Trish Aaron-Misiura has an amazing holiday offer for her fellow Johnny Weir fans! Quantities are limited! Act now!

Hey, guys, it's me, Trish! [Editor's note: Yes, it really is. She wrote this as my guest blogger for today. And she totally cracks me up.]

And it's that time of year again, when "Back to School" goes "back to the clearance racks," and the Christmas decorations are beginning to make their debut. Wait--that was the middle of September. Geez, I'm already running late.

Anyway, in honor of the annual four-month Christmas season of which I have already missed a month, I have designed a Christmas ornament sure to rock the tassel off any tree! It's inspired by Johnny, mais d'accord:

My favorite charity for the ending months of 2010 is Toys For Tots. So I came up with a clever way to make my friends happy, and hopefully a whole boatload of kids as well, or as many as
we can.

I would love to make one of these for the first 30 friends who message me their names and addresses. (Yep, that's the "make-
you-happy" part.)

Now for the "make-the-kids-happy" part: What I'd like in return for making youse guys happy (hey, Mikey has his "ya'll"; up here in the NE PA we say, "youse guys") is for you to donate one toy to Toys For Tots this season.

So, one handknit-beaded-with-a-tassel-to-boot ornament to make you happy = one toy for a needy child.

Sadly, I can only make this offer to fans in the US because of shipping issues. I can guarantee the first 30 by Christmas, but if I get more requests, I'll still try to make them all. I just can't guarantee Christmas delivery.

OK, guys! I'm gleefully knitting away ...

Important Manufacturer's Statement:

***NO GLUE GUNS WERE HARMED (NOR USED)

IN THE MAKING OF THIS ORNAMENT***
