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.

That hilarious thing when your iPhoto does facial recognition for your "top people" & all 4 are you, just in different hair and makeup.

I was like mid extreme couponing for Nair and bananas, and I don't know what happened, but the next thing I knew, I was on a bus to Foxwoods in Connecticut, which is a casino.

First fragrance:

Obsession by Calvin Klein. I wore it because it was different from what the other kids were wearing and felt very rich for a dude of 13. It was far too masculine for me but I felt happy to smell nice.

Last time I was just so uncomfortable with the weather. And I was dressed for a slight chill. I was in tweed. I was in a tie. I had a button up. I had a huge sun hat that was black. I sweated through my foundation. It was just not a good scene. I was not cute.

Her skates are one color beige, her tights are another color, her skin is another color, her face is another color and the illusion mesh on her back is another color. She’s rocking about seven different skin tones.
