Weirisms

Weirisms: (WEER-is-ums): totally inappropriate and hysterical statements by fagtabulous Olympic figure skater Johnny weir.

I am obsessed with Weirisms.

060207_weir_vmed_10awidec

I put combinations of words into search engines to see what quotes I could find. Please enjoy. I put links to the really good stories, so you can enjoy them to the fullest.

We loves. He has stolen the crown from Nick on Project Runway: He is so gay, he sweats glitter.

~~~

Johnny+Weir+spandex


"I don't like to be called a jock," Weir said. "That makes me think of spandex-covered football players. It's not me. I'm in rhinestones and velvet, not spandex."

~

Johnny+Weir+controversial

On his hotel room in the Olympic Village: ''I'm very princessy as far as travel is concerned, having a nice room and things like that. I hate carrying my own luggage. I hate trekking up stairs. I like a nice bed to be laid out for me, so it's not any of that. It's a little dusty, very under-decorated, the beds aren't very soft. But I'm enjoying it. I'm roughing it. It's the same thing as me going out into the woods."

~

Johnny+Weir+drunk

On hearing the news he made the Olympic team: "My mom is getting drunk already."

~

Johnny+Weir+butt:

Tips on proper tanning: "Make sure you wear the hairnet. And make sure you don't shower for two and a half hours, not three. 'Cause three, for some reason, it sticks a little harder. But I've been doing the lay-down tanning bed, and where my butt cheeks push together there's a white triangle because it never gets tan."

~

Johnny+Weir+cocaine:

On his guilty pleasures: "Cocaine... I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Guilty pleasures -- I love a good steak. I love maxing out credit cards. I feel good when I do that."

~

Johnny+Weir+shopping:

When he sees someone with a knockoff handbag: "It hurts my feelings."

~

Johnny+Weir+crazy:

In his Louis Vuitton bag, he carries change purse, which holds a spoon which has been twisted three times: "It's mystical. There are powers in it."

~

Johnny+Weir+fur+coats

"I love beautiful things, and if it means having a fur coat or diamonds -- or even if I want to wear a tiara someday -- then that's just the way it's going to be...I don't think PETA will ever realize that wearing fur is fabulous. But for now I think it is."

~~

Johnny+Weir+boa

To a USA Today reporter who said he wore a boa to a press conference: "Is the writer from USA Today here?" (writer raises hand.) "That was a scarf, not a boa -- dead chinchilla, not feathers."

~

Johnny+Weir+boas+are+out

"...all of a sudden I was causing a stir because I was wearing a chinchilla scarf that someone thought was a boa. First of all, boas are so out. Secondly, I would never wear a boa to a press conference."

hahahahaha I love him. "I'd never wear a boa to a press conference." I wish the world would embrace his "Weirisms" instead of bash him for them, but...well. that's our world in a nutshell.

Brilliant. Thank you for this. Now I know who stopped and shook his little tushie for the camera when he entered the Olympics arena the other day to prepare for competition. I was agape.

chinchilla is the new boa! love it!

He is so CUTE!

The gayest thing that ever existed. I'm talking rainbows, glitter, sequined pumps and Internation Male all rolled into one, times a thousand.

Well, well.

I like how he says he's rhinestones and velvet. Believe me, kid, you a little more than that.

thanks for that. weir is my life.

I love Johnny Weir, and I am so disappointed that he had a bad showing at the Olympics. Hopefully, he'll be back in 2008.

Another gem:
"But my critics are my critics, and I can't change anyone's mind about me except my own...But for now, my critics can eat it."

from an extensive NBC spot that aired recently in prime time.
*LOVE HIM!* Camille and all!

I think he is a little light in step in those skates, if you know what I mean. Wonder how he is off the ice. One article said he was dating someone in Boston.

might i suggest you use the same terms and search Bode Miller?

I'm a WEIR-DO!

I was riding a train when I read his comment about boas being soooo out. I could NOT stop laughing. The folks on the train to Baltimore thought I had lost it.

Jeffrey Buttle (what a name) and Stephane Lambiel manage to outshine Johnny, without drawing the "eccentric" card. Both are fantastically cute, for that matter. Sigh.

ps - Stephane loves ladybugs. LADYBUGS.

Hilarious! The best thing about these Olympics is his tanning advice.

He is fabulous indeed. I like people who are who they are, with no apologies.

Johnny is the best! THE BEST!

Johny Weir is exactly what we needed. He like a breath of fesh air. Finally someone that is like don't get it twisted, I am walking to my own beat. The Olympics have been so boring and he made you laugh, he made you root for him. You wanted him to do well just to shake up the stuffy in the closet skating establishment. He says he wants to write a tell all book when he is done. I can't wait, I am sure some closets doors will be forced open.

I'm so glad we have a gay role model for our youth.

You know that he so bought a Bedazzler from that infomercial with Tana from The Apprentice...

WAIT A MINUTE!?!
I thought he said he wasn't gay!?! Or am I just not getting the sarcasm!?!

Johnny is NOT a role model; he's silly, shallow and pretentious. He should be wondering why he fucked up his freeskate instead of buying useless handbags and shit.

Johnny is not gay, but I think that his boyfriend is...

I just read that the outfit he's wearing in the picture is suppose to look like a swan. really?

hilarious, brilliant, and odd at times, but entertaining all the same.

go chinchillas.
