Welcome back to The Fashion Show. Last week, the designers created clothes from the lost and found. Maybe someday we will find the lost recap from that week. But for now, what you need to know is that Dominique and Outerspace Greenpeace David fell in love, and then he went home. So when we meet again, Dominique is depressed.
And who could blame her? What a friggin’ dump.
She’s curled up in his bed, she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye – oh, and CalTran’s being a bitch. What’s CalTran’s side of things? ”That bitch gonna pay back,” he snarls. This is in response to Dominique saying she wanted him off her team last week. It’s CalTan against the world.
They are invited to this week’s destination, and it’s a gorgeous church. Six left and the pressure’s on. Iman is standing there with a little kid.
Oh, I brought him for Laura Brown to eat later.
And today is a wedding challenge! Fun! So what’s the twist? Well, they’re not going to be working as “houses”, they’re going to be working as couples. No one is happy about this. Well, actually that’s not true. Everyone’s fine with it, except that they all don’t want to get stuck with CalTran and he doesn’t want to get stuck with any of them. CalTran’s been wronged.
Cesar denied me onstage! Dominique “stabbing me in the back”! Apparently, at some point, Jeffrey’s kicked the crap out of him. And what about Eduardo? Seriously, the guy can barely speak English and what little he knows he’s kind enough to throw your way. ”He doesn’t defends me,” CalTran finally musters. That asshole.
The kid gives the designers a ring bag, and they match up. The short version? GoCi Cindy gets CalTran. Ha! Dom and Morris Day are together, which leaves Cesar and Eduardo – who adorably and proudly pronounces “platinum” as “platinen”.
And there’s another twist! There will be no flowing silk or french lace today – no, instead of pretty dresses we’ve got a political statement. Three gay couples! Here’s how they match up:
So, those are CalTran’s thoughts on things.
I definitely spy a natural breast. I hope Cesar can handle it.
Morris Day reunites with his long lost his white, lesbian twin.
Iman reminds them that they’re designing for the most important day of these peoples’ lives. GoCi has a problem because she’s never designed for men and she’s also not really down with gay marriage. CalTran couldn’t have happened to anyone better.
Eduardo’s girl wants to wear mustard. That’s right, mustard. Nothing says love like the yellow crap you put on a hotdog. But her partner wants to wear a bow-tie, so I guess weird people just flock together, gay, straight whatever. Cesar calls the bow-tie girl a “dandy”.
Morris Day’s girl wants some kind of leisure suit with shorts, and Dominique’s girl has grudgingly agreed to wear a dress. But no bows or anything. And then CalTran and GoCi.
The chubby gay guys are interesting and adorable. The Korean one wants a traditional Korean gown. In blue, cause that’s how they roll in Korean culture. CalTran flat out tells him “no”. He just says “no” about a thousand times. He’s never seen traditional Korean wedding clothes before, and in his not at all humble opinion, if this is what the chubby Korean man wants, he should have gone to Koreatown and stayed away from Bravo.
Back in the studio, everyone else is happy to be working together. They all think Eduardo and Cesar are the “powerhouse”. But the GoCi and CalTran are more fun. ”I know what a mood board is, Calvin,” she informs him as they get started. I’d feel sorry for her if CalTran wasn’t so hilarious about it. And then in comes Isaac.
Hello daaaarlings, just breezed in from ’85.
He’s fine with Dominique and Morris Day. He’s worried about the length of Eduardo’s skirt, and wishes Cesar luck on making a tailored jacket in 20 hours. Then it’s GoCi and CalTran’s turn. GoCi whines about how she can’t design for a fat man. “It’s a big, fun challenge!” yells Isaac.
I don’t know what GoCi is more upset about, working with CalTran, dealing with gay people or having a fat model. But for some reason, she thinks she would have been a great match with Eduardo. Hello Miss Conceited Pants.
In the studio, Cesar is thrilled that his girl is shaped like a board and he can drape on a man’s form and not deal with breasts. What a relief. He calls his model “butch”. Then he and Eduardo play around with various shades of mustard. ”It’s not really my style,” admits Eduardo, so good for him for going along with the client.
Dominique is working with linen, which isn’t the way she would have gone but again, going with the client. And then, CalTran and GoCi. GoCi is really freaking out about the leap from a 24 inch waist to a 48 inch waist. CalTran calls her model fat about 1,000 times. Then he reminds us that he’s making whatever the hell kind of Korean wedding gown he wants.
Back in the apartment, they all talk shit on CalTran. CalTran tells us it’s all about him now, and “the game’s changed”.
Back in the studio, Cesar very articulately tells us about caring for his partner when he was dying of cancer, and how he had no rights. So let everyone get married.
We also learn that Morris Day is a gay virgin who wants eight kids. I don’t know what to say about that. Except maybe that he needs to get started?
GoCi is having more problems with her suit, which one would think transformed into a jet launcher from the way she’s carrying on about the construction of the thing. She’s also worried about CalTran’s version of a Korean wedding gown.
At the fitting the next day, we start off easy. Dom and Morris Day’s models love their looks. Eduardo loves her mustard colored fifties housewife wedding cocktail dress. And her dandy is thrilled with a Grace Jones inspired suit. There’s a bit of a tussle over the fabric though – Cesar is pushing for stripes, but the dandy insists on paisley.
Everyone knows lesbians love paisley.
Even GoCi’s client is happy. He likes his suit. So what’s the deal with the Korean wedding suit? Well, first of all it has nothing to do with Korea, according to the groom. He thinks it billows out in the back. But CalTran doesn’t care!
“I am not your seamstress! You want me to sew something, go to China! Not here, not now and I don’t like that!” I think it goes without saying that “not here not now and I don’t like that” will be my new way of saying “no”.
The clients are not happy. ”No class and no taste,” the Korean groom says with a sniff and a head roll. This is the officially the most adorable gay Korean man in an argyle sweater alive.
Giiiiiirl, I’d rather get married in this Old Navy sweater.
“I do what I want!” decrees CalTran in case there was any question. Eduardo mentions that his clients were asking why CalTran was so mean. And as the night ends, they all seem to finish their garments without too much drama.
The next day, they get ready for the fashion show with the obligatory Tresseme product time. And then, right before the show…the GoCi’s big man jacket doesn’t fit! She whines again that she’s not a tailor so it’s not her fault that her clothes don’t fit. Luckily, CalTran the speed sewer is there to sew the whole thing back together. ”He’s really being a teammate,” the GoCi admits.
And then, the show:
Morris Day’s shorts pantsuit, and Dom’s linen dress. Wedding photography by CB.
Cesar’s paisley pants and bowtie, and Eduardo’s cocktail mustard wedding dress.
GoCi’s split jacket and CalTran’s version of Korea.
And in our very special moment of the day, GoCi decides that it’s okay for gay people to get married if they’re in love. But seriously though, I just pulled screenshots from the fashion show and I couldn’t find one split second when these three couples did not look blissfully happy. Yay love!
Back in the judgement room, we have two guest judges today.
Shut it down bananas I die.
Every gay dude I know is obsessed with this shiny little creeper. I don’t get it.
Isaac is interested to talk to the real couples, so they get to come out for judging. Everyone loves Dominique and Jeffrey’s. But Isaac points out that it all looks off the rack. The clients are delighted with the designs, but Iman still argues that the designers should have talked them into wearing shit that they hated. You can’t win for winning with these people.
So let’s see what they thought of CalTran and GoCi – CalTran is very happy with his design, and just as happy to recount the story of how the groom wanted to wear blue. ”But with his size, blue would be a moo,” he tosses off as the judges laugh hysterically. They ask the sassy Korean man what he thought. He couldn’t believe they stuck him with “this joker”.
And as for GoCi’s suit, she reminds everyone how hard it was to make a suit, because she hasn’t mentioned that in the last 30 seconds. The fabric is pulling everyone, and it’s two different colors of black with offends Rachel Zoe.
On to Cesar and Eduardo. They think Cesar should have gone with a different print on the pants, but the client again makes it clear that they got what they wanted in the design. Not happy to leave it at that, Iman makes sure and point out the ridiculous bow tie.
And as usual, they loved Eduardo’s cocktail dress, even in the awful color. The creepy ice skater wants to rip the flower off and roll around in it. Really. Roll around in one flower. Moron.
The judges loved Dominique and Eduardo the best – so is it Eduardo for the third win, or Dom for the second win? It’s Dom! I’m happy for the little one, but it was kind of a boring dress.
And who has to go? Morris Day’s linen suit was clean, but generic. He can stay. Eduardo made a beautiful, sellable look. That’s it. He can stay. CalTran acted like a “bridezilla” – he can’t move. Cesar should have steered his bride away from paisley and reigned in the bow tie, but he can stay.
And as for GoCi – Iman totally calls her out for all her whining about not having made men’s clothes before. “But surely you have made clothes with sleeves,” sniffs Iman.
So it’s down to GoCi and CalTran – and the GoCi is gone! Now the only monster we have left is the lovable CalTran one. Til next time!

“But surely you have made clothes with sleeves,”.. that brought tears to my eyes from all my laughing!
One of those other fashion sites also took offense to the mens clothes thing, coz the guy wanted a matrix type coat, which is like a trench coat, which is like, a uni sex thing . . . right!
I was getting the impression she wasn’t exactly digging on the whole gay thing, didn’t think Cal Tran was loving it either. Cal tran was soooo obnoxious, but I agree, unless you’re bringing a photo of your traditional gown, how the hell is he supposed to do that. Cal Tran needs to learn that all those things he was saying to their faces are the things you say to your partner when your complaining later.
Everything was pretty fug, but esp Morris Day’s outfit at judging . . . worse than a maternity gown. I looked up traditional Korean gowns, and there is some variety . . . they are pretty tacky, color wise . . . like super hero costumes are when they are not black . . . not that they were designed for me. What Caltran did made him as big as a cow . . . all things aside, I don’t want to say I moo.
A bit surprised Dom won, but they probably need to create some competition for Eduardo . . . since, everyone else is just on the list! Hated the hem on Eddie’s. The shorts suit . . . well, I dunno . . . personally, I liked the bow tie look. She obviously adored it! And I love people who dress outside the norm and cherish and relish it!
Thanks ChickBomb! We wont talk about that other missing thing, oh no, we wont!
I do like Morris more and more. How funny she’s a virgin . . . but I actually enjoyed the lack of shame about it. The eight kids . . . . um . . . volunteer to work with dis-enfranchised kids . . . you’ll get over it quick, and possibly reap the same rewards.
I’m going to defend GoCi Cindy because I think her two comments about gay marriage were one comment about how, because she’ Catholic and Mexican, she was raised to believe marriage was just between a man and a woman but that she doesn’t have any problems with gay marriage. Her best friend on the show is Jeffrey and she gets along fine with Cesar, so I don’t think she harbors any homophobia but her comment was easy to edit to make it look like through the healing power of Bravo another closed-minded person has come to see the light.
As for her problem with her client, I think she just psyched herself out by believing she couldn’t do menswear and then freaked even more when he had fit issues and kept wanting to believe he really wasn’t as big as her measurements said. But I wish she’d just left the jacket alone because if she had, Calvin’s ass would have been gone.
I think Eduardo should have won. His dress was just a better dress than Dominique’s. Nothing earth shattering but at least it fit her, it made her happy and had some visual interest. And I thought the hemline was perfect. It hit her at the right part of her calf. Dom’s was just a linen nightgown.
And I don’t get the Weir thing, either. His claim to fame is basically being a nasty bitch who wears real fur and is obsessed with Evan Lysacek, because his actual skating resume is rather slim. And he’s not a “two-time Olympic champion.” Champion means winner, not sixth place. He’s a no-time champion, but two-time Olympian, as Isaac said.
Let us not forget that the jacket fit GoCi Cindy’s client fine until she went and altered it a bit.
I agree with Vallegirl that a bit of editing went into making the opposing political statement from Cindy about gay marriage; however, as usual, I’m always thinking that if you’re going to work in the fashion industry, please don’t act offended or surprised to find yourself working with gay people or of being asked to pose in the buff (I’m looking at you ANTM models).
CalTran is just an Asshat–there’s no other way around it.
I’m not sure why Iman chose the bland GoCi Cindy to become human over, but it was nice to see her come down from her pedestal for a bit, wasn’t it? I love you, Iman!
I call B.S. on the judging. Isaac said Dominique’s dress looked-off-the-rack, so how in the world did she win??? Should have been Cesar or Eduardo. I really thought it unfair that 2 couples had women and only one had men as clients. Didn’t make for an even playing field, IMO. Let’s see Dom’s dress on a woman with a 48″ waist, then start the judging!
No one’s gonna mention that Dom looked pretty damn hot in her own dress, eh? You know, the one cut way up to her, uh, fanny? Sigh. Why is it always me who has to do the real work around here?
I could have made Dom’s dress. In fact, I would have added a little more to the front to make it more festive without making it frou-frou. It was a couple of faded block letters away from a potato sack! I loved Eduardo’s dress. I was a little peeved that they didn’t let that couple speak up about their clothes because they really seem to like their outfits. I’d like to think they did and it was edited out for time. And, Johnny Weir….GET OFF MY TV!! I don’t care what you have to say. And, man, Caltran had his little panties in a twist this week. Someone needs to bitch slap him! Girlfriend needs an attitude adjustment. Can you see him mouthing off to a customer like Iman?!
It’s your own little sandbox to play in, itchy. Enjoy it. She is cute and young, though, so the dress wasn’t obscene looking.
As for CalTran and his fat phobia, though. People who appear to be pushing their own maximum density probably shouldn’t cast stones.
I love CalTran and he is the one person on Tuesday nights that I can count on to make me laugh.
Mustard? Really? Obviously this woman has never had a child. Ever since having a baby four months ago I can’t look at mustard the same way, since baby poop looks like watery mustard with seeds in it (TMI sorry but anytime I see the color or condiment I just gag).
Johnny Weir scares me.
Like in Rudolph, when Rudolph, Hermie, and Yukon Corneilias are trying to go to sleep in that tiny little house way out in the tundra on the Island of Misfit toys, and they hear the Abominable roaring somewhere?
He scares me like that.
Thiajok: I’m not sure why Iman chose the bland GoCi Cindy to become human over
I forgot about that. My impression, the producers forced them to keep Caltran, and she disagreed, but had to do their bidding. Could have also been the relative unfairness in general . . .
Valle, I’m gonna take a risk here . . . . (oh no) but referring to one as an olympic champion merely means they were in the olympics. It’s a quick way to not have to troll out any placements that didn’t rank a medal. Mr. Weir, who can be a bit precious, is actually a really great skater. Evan is like a swinging arm piece of wood in comparison. Johnny was also brave enough to not suppress his sexuality or femininity in the face of some pretty serious pressure from TPTB. His record suffered from a lack of a quad jump (tho he did do one) In the old system of scoring, anyone who did a quad, no matter how terribly they did everything else would win, and it came to the point that some pretty stiff skaters were at the top all the time. With the new system, everything is scored, and quads are still valued but not necessary to medal. Anyway, can’t help myself, I obviously know far too much for my own good . . . in short, if the new system had been in place sooner, Johnny would have been much more decorated. And Evan did a great job with his abilities . . . he worked very hard and earned his wins. Johnny is a natural to movement. The fun thing for me is he has spawned a whole generation of young skaters who emulate his style–it’s cute!
Ps. I don’t mind anyone hating him, I kind of did for a long time too, but I watched his show, saw his whole history, and heard more than sound bites. I’m sure his snark would fit right it with us gasmi-hee. He is rather flamboyant, and yes, I’m no fur fan, but I think he was bothered with the threat to ruin a whole skating event because of a little fringe, and didn’t like being forced to change under pressure like that. Lastly, he started late at age 11 or so, but he pretty much skated his whole life, so he’s been around forever.
Itchy, I preferred her in Eduardo’s leather pants . . . her badonk looked amazing!!! She’s growing on me, and I’m all for her and Ed in the end.
Badonk. Gotcha. Now, if only she’d ditch the annoying giggle…
I really liked Cesar’s look. I used to dress like that in college and I swear I had the same jacket. (Off the rack, not tailored specifically for me, but then again, I wore it to class not my sapphic ceremony) I also liked Jeffery’s…sure it could’ve been bought..but it was tailor made, well made, and pleased the client. As did Dom’s dress, but I found hers a bit boring. Itchy’s right, she did look good at judging, though.
Calvin’s Korean model has such an upturned smile and pointy chin, looking like the gay offspring of the Joker and Mac Tonite.
Wanna bet he’ll spend his wedding dancing with the devil in the pale moon light?
2muchbravo said: “And, man, Caltran had his little panties in a twist this week. Someone needs to bitch slap him! Girlfriend needs an attitude adjustment. Can you see him mouthing off to a customer like Iman?!”
I would LOVE to see that! Iman doesn’t take any crap off of anyone! She would whip a razor out of her boobies and cut that bitch where he stood! Hello Bravo producers… now THAT is must see tv!
Have I used enough exclamation points? Or should I add a couple more?
Cesar is definitely wearing thin with me. He’s always got a little bitchy aside–asian queen, butch client, etc. I’m sure he means it jokingly, but I think he’d pretend to be shocked if someone else pulled the same punches.
Last night’s episode where he tried to make Morris Day dye the material was just annoying as hell. Can’t wait to read the recap for that one.
Maybe Iman would be willing to use that boob razor on some of my other Bravo favorites?
@ notwithoutmytv – That is well and truly frightening. I will never look at Johnny the same way again. Mostly because I think I’ll turn to stone if I keep looking at that shiny, creepy, immobile face.
@juddfan – There’s a perfectly good word to refer to people who participate in the Olympics: Olympian. Isaac used it to refer to Johnny when he introduced him. Champion indicates the person won the event. Johnny never won the Olympics, so Johnny is not a champion. And mercy I hope more skaters don’t emulate him, because he’s all flash and little substance. He’d rather rehearse his show pieces than his competitive ones and his Russian coach seemed at her wits end with him on that crappy reality show he did. His results didn’t suffer because he didn’t do a quad, neither did Lysacek. His results suffered because he didn’t have any content to make up for it. Contentwise, his was the weakest of the top competitors, and his results reflected that.
I’m not sticking up for Caltran’s way of talking to his clients, but I thought it was seriously tacky to ask for a traditional Korean wedding garment in this situation. Every detail of a garment like that is culturally significant, and you should either get it made by an expert or, as Caltran put it, “go to Koreatown.” Why would you want to get married in someone’s idea of your culture’s wedding garment?
True enough, Maryedith, but what Caltran should have done was asked him to sketch or describe what he wanted instead of just screaming NO repeatedly and being a little bitch. I’ve seen the Korean wedding garment. It is less complicated than that piece of shite that Cal made. Here is an example in Blue as requested by the groom:
http://www.bitbythetravelbug.com/media/Traditional~Korean~Wedding~2.jpg
And if he didn’t want to try to recreate that, he could have worked with him to do a unique outfit with korean flavor. But that would have required patience, common courtesy and communication. And those are 3 things Cal does not have.
Oh Valle, girl I love you, truly, you are the last person I want to battle wits with, but I’m happy to debate with love! The show focused more on the last couple years, esp the one he didn’t make the national team, and yes, I don’t argue his being a pain in the ass, or even lazy. My quad talk was more for the seasons before that, he’s been skating many, many years. Evan didn’t do quads for a long time either, but there came the time they all had to do them, or never win, and they all tried, and they all kept falling. Evan was determined, and didn’t care how many times he fell, or how many competitions he lost, he was going to do a god-damn quad if it was the last thing he ever did. Luckily for him, when he finally nailed them, were the competitions that mattered, Worlds and Olympics. The only time I can think when Johnny did one was during a US nationals.
You may be right about the term Champion, but I swear it is used in skating events that are for entertainment, as many of those performers are not medal winners, and to list every title is exhausting. Some prefer to mention their highest achievement–For Johnny, 3 time US National Champion, some prefer the more generic and inclusive descriptions. Maybe I’m wrong, wouldn’t be the first time, and as I took it to mean, “has competed in the Olympics” it didn’t bother me.
I absolutely don’t want you to stop hating him, it’s a riot your descriptions, but I do beg to differ that I find his skating very musical and flowing, rather than rigid and disjointed. Some skaters just glide, then do a jump, and glide, and do a jump. Johnny moves with the music, spins great, has great posture . . . crazy costumes . . . and when he’s ON he’s quite good all around, his record will speak to that, so when I say he’s inspiring young skaters, I am thrilled that more of the little tykes are skating with the music and lyrically than woodenly nailing jumps. Just a matter of preference, I suppose. And there are plenty of other skaters, in men’s and women’s, who have great presentation. Sasha Cohen comes to mind, as being one of the best in that way, but not the best jumper, or the most consistent, but I’ll still take her any day over a Rachel Flatt, the current champion, who tries, but just doesn’t have that natural ability.
Lastly, I seriously mean it when I HEART you, you always have so much cool info on things, which is why I was reluctant to say anything at all, but heck, you gave me a chance to espouse all about skating (a once in a life time) and I just couldn’t help it.
XOXOXO
Oh, and Itchy . . . if it were you making her giggle, maybe you’d like it! ; )
Oh, and as far as quads, you may be right that Evan didn’t do one for the Olympics–that was a hotly debated win. The Russian was always strong, good at just about everything, but the new scoring system scores every single thing . .. . he had a great quad-triple, but the rest were shaky, and overall, he wasn’t very smooth, so Evan cleaned up in that way. He was just a poor sport.
During the skating season, there are oh so many competitions and skaters and stuff, but it is true that Evan worked really hard at the quad–just so happens a triple axel-triple jump combination is almost as high scoring as a quad, so many do that instead now.
as not a person who knows anything about about skating, my daughter was a high level gymnast, I would consider anyone who participated in the olympics an olympian. Now, if they won a medal I would put them as “olympic silver medal winning..” etc. As for Champion, I would only consider that if you won, as in gold. maybe you could squeak out the top 3 spots, but champion in my mind means top, 1st place. I didn’t watch this epi, but I am already tired of weir and his hair. I though he was kinda fun on rachel zoe, but now he is making the tour and I’m a little done.
gah, thought, not though
Johnny Weir’s reality show is coming to Logo in a few weeks. Will I be the only watching? (Don’t judge. One Girl, 5 Gays is all reruns right now..so can I watch just one gay? )
i will still watch, sigh, what is logo? can’t look away, trainwreck, addicted to crappy reality
@sarcasatire – If it’s the one that ran on IFC, it’s actually really boring. It’s primarily about the week of whatever event he’s competing at, and losing, and making excuses, and pissing off his coach, and whining about Evan Lysacek. Seriously, that’s almost all there is to the show.
Oh, it’s about ice skating?! I was hoping we’d get to see some of Weir’s eccentric ‘fabulousity’; shots of him flouncing around like an un’tucked’ Posh Spice swinging from a Balenciaga tree.
@whoochile: Logo is the LBGT network..the home of all thing homo. I love it! Rupaul’s drag race is on in a few weeks, but in the mean time there’s One girl, 5 gays, and plenty of Nip/Tuck.
There is some of the “fabulosity” but to me, it just came off kind of sad. He still has the isolated life of a figure skater so he’s usually just being “fabulous” for the camera in some hotel room or at home. What the commercial promises and the show delivers are two totally different things. And then it just came off, to me, like a kid playing dress up. Not like someone who really lives this swinging, free-spirited lifestyle.
I’ll be watching too, and I don’t think he even skates anymore, so I’m not sure what they will base it on. I really hated him when all I heard were the sound bites, but I actually enjoyed the footage of him chatting with the reporters . . . most of the skaters are so PC and fakey, I liked that Johnny spoke his mind. We’ll see if he can stay in any good light with the new season.
Valle, you didn’t like when he was in the tub w his roomate doing the russian accent and playing dress up–I thought it was rich! Hee . . . not that I’ve ever done that, no! I haven’t . . . no really, I haven’t, I can’t do russian (oops)
whoochile-I wholeheartedly agree, being in the Olympics, or the top ten anything is a huge accomplishment! I’m amazed by skaters and gymnasts constantly! Love both sports, but I’m gay, so it’s okay-HA!
Enough of this skater clown. Can we please get back to discussing vaginas?
I was sorry that Johnny Weir was underused on the Fashion Show. I wanted to hear more of his input. I don’t get all the Johnny Weir hatred. The first time I saw him skate, which was years ago, before his image was embedded in the average person’s mind, I thought he was adorable and extremely ethereal to watch. He had that lighter-than-air, almost boneless quality that Fred Astaire exemplified in his dancing, and that all the best dancers and ice skaters possess. You forget that they’re skating, unlike chunky current U.S. Champion Rachel Flatt, who has all the charisma of Ethel Mertz on ice. When Johnny’s personality began to be explored by the media, I was pleased that he spoke his mind and was also funny. His Sundance series is more like a documentary illustrating what a skater goes through to train for a major competition. It didn’t strike me as a “reality” show, with situations contrived for “good TV.” It’s wonderful that he’s completely comfortable with himself and doesn’t give a crap what others think. That should be inspiring to people, not something to resent him for. I’m not crazy about his love of fur, but that’s his choice, and besides, I’m guilty of wearing leather shoes and carrying leather handbags. I make fun of people myself, but I usually feel sheepish about it once I learn more about them and find that they’re actually cool. Learn more about Johnny Weir and then decide if you still hate him. If you do, go ahead, make fun of him all you want. He’d probably have some deliciously snarky things to say back at you. I know the purpose of this site is to be as sarcastically mean as possible, and I’ve said mean things in comments here before, but give Johnny a bit of a break. Skaters don’t make big piles of money, so you have to cut him some slack for trying to promote himself through public appearances. At least he has a talent and has worked hard, which is more than you can say about famewhores like Kate Gosselin, Bethanny Frankel and countless others who are in the media CONSTANTLY. They deserve all the snark they can get.
No one dresses and acts like that and doesn’t care what people think.
But for itchy: VAGINA!
Gilty Plezzur . . . . . “Rachel Flatt, who has all the charisma of Ethel Mertz on ice” (ouch)
Not sure if I should laugh or cry, but I so agree . . . . as sweet as she seems, and as hard as she tries. Such a loss when a Sasha Cohen goes pro before really laying down a legacy . . .
loved your description of Johnny’s skating. I always recognized him in his young years when he did that sit spin with his hands reaching down.
Oh, and speaking of vagina . . . I wouldn’t be shocked if Johnny is hiding one of those too!
