Johnny Weir: everybody wants a piece of this!

What a busy spring I have had! I’ve been running from award shows and recording sessions to book meetings and skating practice. Life hasn’t slowed down for me one bit since the Olympic Games. Dying to see me in action? Well, tune in on June 27 at 10PM for the season finale of my reality series BE GOOD JOHNNY WEIR right here on Sundance Channel (shameless plug, couldn’t resist).
Since I’ve been spending so much time on the road and doing fabulous things I figured I’d list some of the things I’m looking forward to the most just to give my amazing fans an inside look into what is coming up.
1. This past weekend I performed in Columbus, Ohio as a part of the skating exhibition, “Skate for Hope.” Skate for Hope has been around for a while now, and all the proceeds from the show go towards breast cancer research and to breast cancer related charities. I performed my new program ‘Heartbroken’ set to music by Richard Clayderman, and ‘Bad Romance’ by Lady Gaga which is quickly becoming a favorite. It was great being in front of a loving audience and hope everyone that was there flew around the ice with me.
2. On June 27 and 28 I will be in Detroit, Michigan to be part of a fashion show on ice for the bridal boutique, “Creme de la Creme.” I am going to be prancing around in some pretty extravagant costumes and at the end of the show, I’ll be performing my fan favorite exhibition routine to “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga in a new costume. I’m very excited to debut the new costume! Be sure to check it out if you are in Michigan!
3. On July 2 I will be turning 25, for the second time. I’ve decided now when I gain a new year under my belt, I will go backwards instead of forwards. By the time I have to walk around with a Swarovski encrusted walker, I figure I’ll be the ripe old age of -5. Love that! I’m hoping to put together a really great day, and relax and get pampered and then hopefully do something amazing with my friends in the night.
There is a lot more coming up that will be in my next blog post right here on SUNfiltered. I’ve been hard at work with my producer Lucian Piane on our single “Dirty Love,” and we’re looking for a late summer release date and video shoot. I’ve been really delving into my life while I’m writing my 25 year memoir for Gallery Books, and in general trying to make my fans proud in every possible way.
Until next week, I love you all and don’t forget to tune into my season finale of BE GOOD JOHNNY WEIR at 10PM on June 27. I will know if you are not watching, and not to be threatening, I have trained all my friends in the art of blow darts, so watch your back if you plan on not being home or setting up your DVRs. I LOVE YOU!

А 27-го на Creme de la Creme (показ мод на льду) выйдет в подвенечном платье на лед и скажет:
"ФК, я беру тебя в (жены или мужья). Я обещаю перед лицом Господа, быть верным тебе каждый раз, быть твоей опорой, в богатстве и в бедности, в болезни и в здравии, в радости и в печали. Моя любовь останется с тобой навсегда, до тех пор, пока смерть не разлучит нас".
Не люблю эту фразу: "пока смерть не разлучит нас"...Никогда не понимала - зачем она в клятве? Вранье все равно ведь...
Ну, Ирина, это уж у кого как получится...=))))))

With it being summer, I thought I’d put together a little cheat sheet about what’s hot in my imagination for this summer, my summer in the city.
LADY GAGA
Let’s face it, the last two years have been years of Gaga, but there is something so personal about her music and her style that inspires me every day. From the mini short clad dancers in her new “Alejandro” music video, to her whimsical display of her middle finger at major sporting events, there’s nothing not to love. Lady Gaga’s adoration for her fans is something that everyone who is blessed enough to have fans should learn from. There isn’t a morning, day or night in these hot months that I am not rocking my “Poker Face.”
FASHION
Summer fashion isn’t always something that I go for, I have disproportionate leg muscles which can make shorts and issue, and my skin is paler than Casper’s, but I love letting some skin show and making my skinny rib statements on every hot, sticky, miserable day. Chanel has some amazing tanks from their summer collection, Garreth Pugh put out an insane pair of leather leggings for those frisky nights out grinding to the “thumpa thumpa” and J Brand has introduced “Jegging” shorts, which are basically denim inspired biker shorts that make my booty look glorious. I may prefer bundling up in fur for winter, but this summer there are a lot of hot things to try.
EYEWEAR
I have been a huge fan and collector of sunglasses since age 3. From my bug eyed Bolle’s at age five to my “Ghetto Princess” Nathan Jenden’s at age 25, I live for eye fashions. Summer isn’t summer without some incredible shades to shield you from the soleil. I say that Chanel is an amazing choice for pretty much anyone, even the glasses on a stick sported by Sarah Jessica Parker in SEX IN THE XITY 2. Balenciaga is going way out to left field with their spectacles, and you can’t go rockstar chic without having a pair of A. Morir spike encrusted shields.
THE RESTAURANT
Whatever you like is the best way to go in the summer. Indulge yourself, don’t worry about bikini’s and speedo’s, you’ll certainly sweat off your crispy rice from Koi in Los Angeles, or you’re vanilla meringue cake from Cipriani in NYC. Summer always seems to be treated like a party so enjoy it by tasting the treats you rarely have and drinking down those bubbles, of course eat and drink responsibly.
VACATION
I haven’t had a vacation in years, but I have it under very good authority that human’s tend to take vacation in the summer. I can suggest Cayman Islands, stay at the Ritz and get pampered. I can also suggest staying at one of the spa hotels in Sochi, Russia. Don’t forget to get your visa for entry into Russia. If the economy has hit you too hard and can’t afford to go away, hit a local hotspot, for me, I like Soho House in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. Enjoy yourself.

To end this blog, everything about summer is hot. My darlings, please get out there, be fashionable and get laid. I will be working my ass off to make you all excited and proud of me no matter what I do, so enjoy the summer mugginess, for me.
Please watch the season finale of BE GOOD JOHNNY WEIR at 9pm June 27 on Sundance Channel. I have already threatened you with the dingles wielding blow darts, don’t make me do it again. Watch!! I love you.

(на фото: Леди Гага показывает средний палец журналистам. Комментарий Джонни: вот моя девочка!)
Поскольку на дворе лето, я подумал, что неплохо будет составить список того, что занимает мое воображение этим летом, моим летом в городе.
ЛЕДИ ГАГА
Давайте признаем - последние два года были годами Гаги. Кроме того, в ее музыке и в ее стиле есть что-то настолько личное для меня, что вдохновляет меня каждый день. От одетых по минимуму танцоров в ее новом клипе “Alejandro”, до ее эксцентричных жестов на крупнейших спортивных мероприятиях - нет ничего, чего в ней нельзя не любить. Любовь Леди Гаги к своим фанатам - это то, чему каждый, кому повезло иметь поклонников, должен учиться. И каждое утро, день и вечер этих жарких месяцев я неизменно надеваю на лицо выражение Poker Face (*такое, при котором нельзя прочитать настоящие эмоции человека*).
МОДА
Летняя мода - это не то, чему я всегда следую. У меня непропорциональные мускулы ног, поэтому носить ли мне шорты -это всегда вопрос, и моя кожа бледнее, чем у привидения Каспера, но мне нравится оголять некоторые части тела и выставлять напоказ мои выпирающие ребра каждый жаркий липкий скверный день. В летней коллекции Шанель есть чудесные майки, у Гарета Пью в продаже появились безумные кожаные леггинсы, в которых ночи напролет можно проводить в клубах, танцуя под "тумпа-тумпа", а Джей Бренд представил шорты-джеггинсы: это практически шорты велосипедистов, только из джинсовой ткани - моя задница в них выглядит сногсшибательно. Может быть, зимой я и предпочитаю кутаться в меха, но этим летом появилось множество вещей, которые хочется примерить.
ОЧКИ
Я с трехлетнего возраста обожаю и собираю солнечные очки. От очков в виде жучков, которые я носил в пять лет, до "Принцессы Гетто" от Nathan Jenden, которые я ношу в свои 25, я живу модой на очки. Лето не лето без потрясающих темных очков, спасающих лицо от солнца. У Шанель есть чудесный выбор практически на любой вкус, даже очки в стиле бальной маски, которые вы могли видеть в руках у Сары Джессики Паркер в "Сексе в большом городе2". Отдельно стоит Баленсиага со своими солнцезащитными очками, и вы не сможете не почувствовать себя рок-звездой, надев очки с "колючей" оправой от A. Morir.
Лучшее место, куда можно пойти летом - то, которое вам больше всего нравится. Не беспокойтесь о бикини и плавках, побалуйте себя, вы обязательно попотеете над хрустящим рисом в ресторане Кой в Лос-Анджелесе или над ванильными меренгами в Киприани в Нью-Йорке. Лето - это постоянная вечеринка, так наслаждайтесь ею, пробуя блюда, которые вы редко себе позволяете, и пейте пузырящиеся напитки, но, конечно, не забывайте, что есть и пить в меру.
ОТПУСК
Сам я не был в отпуске уже несколько лет, но знающие люди говорили мне, что обычно в отпуск уходят летом. Могу предложить вам Каймановы острова: остановитель в отеле Ритц и дайте побаловать себя. Рекомендую вам также остановиться в одном из спа-отелей Сочи. Но не забудьте, что для поездки в Россию вам понадобится виза. Если же бюджет поджимает и вы никуда поехать не можете, найдите симпатичное место у себя в округе. Для меня такое место - это Сохо Хаус в Манхеттене. Наслаждайтесь жизнью!
(Фото: Будьте клевыми, котята)
И в конце этого блога хочу добавить, что летом горячо все. Милые мои, не сидите дома, будьте модными и занимайтесь сексом. Я буду усердно работать, чтобы вы радовались и гордились мной, чем бы я ни занимался. Поэтому наслаждайтесь этим жарким душным летом и за меня тоже.
И пожалуйста, посмотрите финальную серию BGJW на канале Санденс в 9 вечера 27июня. Я уже припугнул вас своими приятелями, готовыми кинуть в вас дротики, если вы не сделаете это, так не заставляйте меня делать это снова. Посмотрите шоу! Я люблю вас
Джонни тоже как всегда) хорошие советы дает^^
Заслушаешься...Пишет, как поет:))))
С неизменными PR-выбросами! Верен себе:)))
Так себе реально представила, как Джонни все же нашел свободный вечерок и воспользовался своими рекомендациями - зажигает в кожаных леггинсах жаркой влажной ночью... Ночи напролет..ага:))) А потом несколько дней не сможет даже шагу сделать...Нет, уж лучше в джеггинсах, и попа шикарнее выглядит...
И где бы мне отдохнуть-то, чтобы насладиться жизнью? В Сочи что ли махнуть в спа-отель? Но что делается летом в Сочи...Такой отдых для меня - не отдых... Может, для Джонни? Его виза не просрочена, надеюсь?
Получила отпускные. Хочу очки и майку от Шанель. Сумку Баленсиага хочу давно. Сэкономлю на леггинсах... Ну что ж,... вариант со спа в Сочи, прощай! останется бюджетный вариант - дача! Прекрасное симпатичное местечко у себя в округе!!!)))
Да, летом горячо все! Только не солнце над Питером...Где вообще оно? Наверное, все в Штатах...
Вот так всегда...
Да и финальную серию уже посмотрела... Эх...

угу;)
Вкупе с фоткой ни дать ни взять письмо главного редактора глянцевого журнала)
Таня, спасибо!

а ну их) если ты уже выздоровела — марш на улицу!)))
1) пошла покупать яркую майку и очки
Джонни вдохнов-ля-ет:)))
June 27th, 2010 by Johnny Weir
In the upcoming season finale of BE GOOD JOHNNY WEIR tonight, my fans and fans of my show will travel with me to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. There is a lot of detail shown in the finale, but I thought I’d dish a little dirt about the Olympics, and this has nothing to do with the fact that condoms were officially supplied in the Olympic Village.
The Olympics are massive. You can’t really appreciate the magnitude of the games simply by watching them on TV. You arrive in the airport and are immediately directed to a line to receive your accreditation, which is your key to the Olympics as an official entry. The accreditation gains you access to all venues, housing establishments, and in many cases free taxis and constant gawking as to who you may be when you’re out and about. I arrived earlier than expected to the Olympics because of a blizzard on the east coast, and they didn’t want me to be late.
After arriving and going through the team processing, which is when you get all the swag, most of which is not even your size, you get shipped by bus into the Olympic village which is sort of like an international army base. It’s incredible the amount of people running through the village, all in tracksuits and me and Galina strolling in, in knee length mink coats with far too much luggage. There is no admittance into the village unless you invite a family member or lover and they are approved 24 hours prior to their visit, which is why you never see live shots inside the village on TV.
The food in the village is strange. It is all served in a giant cafeteria with McDonalds, cookies and pizza abounding. It isn’t strange because it’s fast food, it’s strange because these are the World’s most elite athletes, more esteemed than NFL heroes and Mike Tyson, and they eat McDonalds? Apparently all sports aside from figure skating do eat these foods, needless to say, Galina and I found our way to the Four Season’s hotel in Vancouver and ate every single day, at YEW restaurant. The staff became family and even treated me to a giant ice cream sundae after the events were over, so a big public thank you to YEW.
The practices and constant media scrutiny before your event are difficult things to tackle. I train in relative obscurity at a small rink in Wayne, New Jersey with two other skaters, Ksenia Makarova, Russian ladies champion, and Natalia Popova, Ukrainian ladies champion, so showing up and being “on stage,” practicing with your key rivals for many days before you actually compete is draining. On the last day before my short program the US men were scheduled for two practices and of the three men, I was the only one who would take advantage of the evening practice. At the Olympics, the US figure skating team is overseen by five main officials, a team leader, two assistant team leaders, a doctor and physiotherapist who are supposed to share responsibilities and at least one is to be present for every practice, event, press conference, drug test and so on for every single athlete. As a precursor to my event and the support I could expect to receive from my own team, not one team official showed up to my final official practice that night. Not one.
I think most people know how the competition went for me. I felt so alive and amazing on the ice. I did the two best performances of my life, and I still failed to medal. I still haven’t quite come to terms as to why I lost to people who fell, but I am so beyond proud of what I did and proud of my fans for helping me get through the event and fighting with me every step of the way. It is hard to explain the emotions that poured out of me on that final night n Vancouver, I gave my life on that ice, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of, or rethink. In my heart, I am a champion for everything I was able to accomplish.
While this blog sounds a bit “woe to me,” I enjoyed nearly every second of my second Olympic Games. I did my job to the best of my abilities. I really loved what I was doing, I was connected with the people in my circle who matter most, and as a team, we accomplished something great. Galina said it best, once the Games were over, “we all acted together, like one.” When Galina and I parted ways after my event she leaned over and hugged me and said, “Johnnyka, you have made me prouder then anyone has ever made me before. I feel that you are champion; God blessed us today. You’re victory is my victory, we came a long way together, I am so proud of you.” That statement, coming from Galina Yakovlevna Zmievskaya, is worth it’s weight in gold to me. The day before the closing ceremonies, I left Vancouver with the feeling that I really accomplished something that will be of value to me, for the rest of my life and I can still cry thinking how proud I made myself, and my family, fans and team.
I know this was a long one, and too emotional, but I want you all to know how much I appreciate your love and support from long before and long after the Olympics. You mean the world to me and I work very day to make you proud. I love you.
