I never thought this would turn into a man-skating blog, but I'll be damned if I don't spread the word!

The Washington Post got the scoop – they went shopping with Johnny Weir and wrote a telling expose! Below are the most poignant excerpts that make up some of the many reason about why I love Johnny Weir:

He owns 103 pairs of sunglasses: “Johnny spots a pair of $320 Roberto Cavalli shades. He gives them to the saleslady to ring up. This, he says, will bring his sunglasses collection to 103 pairs, which he keeps arranged in drawers according to designer.”

He doesn’t tie his shoes instead, he “arranges” them: “Sitting down to arrange the laces on his new sneakers (whose laces he refuses to tie but instead carefully wraps and tucks in elaborate fashion)…”

He doesn’t hate children, but “Weir considers clothes and handbags and sunglasses his children.”

He is sensitive: “[W]hen he sees someone with a knockoff handbag, ‘it hurts my feelings,’ he says.”

He’s modest: “Next, he tries on a pair of $450 Dior jeans, which, he decides, do not make him look “bootylicious.’”

His dog knows what’s what: Johnny bought a “Louis Vuitton doggy carrying case, which his dog did not like ("he peed in it"), so Johnny returned it and got another bag for himself.” And now Louis Vuitton has a bag with dog piss in it.

He loves jewels: “Johnny wears three chains with a knotted mess of pendants, including two Stars of David, an Israeli army dog tag, an Italian horn to protect him from the mal occhio , or evil eye, a miraculous medal of Mary, and the letter D, which stands for the Christina Aguilera song "Dirrty," because Christina Aguilera is his role model.”

He loves Jews: “He says he's been obsessed with the Holocaust since he was little and considers himself "a little bit" Jewish, although he isn't, not technically. He says he's had his past lives read and found out that most recently he was a Jewish girl from Poland during World War II.”

And, he owns this classy number: “a Dolce & Gabbana hoodie he says reads "Sex trainer: Best to practice seven days a week.’”

Love him!
