Johhny Weir "rocking the tassel" in the short program

…in the short program the other night, and did pretty great tonight too, but with a program that lacked the complexity of Vera Wang clad gold medalist Lysacek – and even Weir’s whole fur thing is super annoying/distressing – I do love his preening as a Russian diva, and the idea that the world of figure skating could be slightly scandalized or even find some controversy in a flaming out of the sequined spandex closet male figure skater is just great.
