While that cunty troll (and Weir nemesis) Lysachek breast strokes in a sea of American dildos for his big gold win, figure skater Johnny Weir has decided to hang up his skates and focus on his love for fashion full time. Anyone who has followed his career or has seen an episode of his Sundance channel reality show 'Be Good Johnny Weir' knows he has a flair for the dramatic, fashion, and furs.
Here is what Johnny, who came in sixth place at the Vancouver Winter Olympics last night had to say:
'I am going to skate in the World Championships and then I have to decide how long I want to stay on vacation. In figure skating your body can only last for so long.I can’t be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.'"
Added Weir: "I want to create art more than anything and the way I want to do it is through fashion. I want to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and really learn the basics of fashion from the ground up. I want to create things while I have time on earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.”
He's young and definitely has his own unique sense of style. We also know he has a love for the theatrics. If Johnny takes the time to own his newfound craft and take it as serious as his skating, he could definitely go far in the fashion world. Weir has taken a beating long enough because he's not afraid to be his loud flamboyant self. Finally he can be accepted in a medium that won't judge him for not being a stereotypical masculine ideal. The cruel fashion world will judge him on his clothing. Maybe he can even try out on project Runway or even dare I say it, that unwatcheable Bravo series Launch My Line? It will also be the one thing he could finally beat that queen Lysacek at.
