Snow King 2 Rehearsals Revisited

Beautiful Johnny at Snow King 2 rehearsal. Exclusive photo © Elena Vasileva. A zillion more of these gorgeous pics below!



The lovely Elena Vasileva sent me two new exclusive black-and-white Snow King 2 photo series (which, as you all know, is my absolute fav style of photography), both of which are spectacular.

So please enjoy this gallery of Johnny at various Snow King rehearsals in Moscow from late December and early January, and its companion set, these stunningly beautiful performance shots.

Programming note: NBC is airing the US Nats gala on Saturday, also 4 pm ET / 3 pm CT, with Johnny, Tara, and Terry at the helm again (I am always endlessly amused by Johnny leading the “Smuckers Skating Spectacular” broadcasts. Irony: it’s what’s for dinner). So please be sure to tune in for more Johnny on our TVs, which is exactly where we like to have him unless, of course, we could possibly meet him for coffee at Starbucks we can watch him doing his thing on the ice.

Which brings us back to our Flashback Friday picspam. These are truly some of the most gorgeous Johnny photos I have ever seen, so if you need me, I’ll just be wandering between this post and the other one forever...



For more from Elena, please visit her amazing “Johnny as Kai” gallery on Flickr.
