Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

I mean, what other man’s going to go out in a hot pink tassel that looks like a helicopter when you’re rotating. That, to me, was gorgeous. I hate my face in the mid-jump pictures because you’re all crooked and everything and squished in, but I loved seeing that tassel flying out from my body.

  1. Haha, this seriously makes me smile. I love the way the tassel flies when he spins. And in a way, to me it seems like a happy little "F-you!" to you USFS. :) Pink tassle biatch! :P
