Content exclusively devoted to all things Johnny Weir until I am able to at least partially recover some semblance of interest in something else. Don't hold your breath.

Johnny Weir’s new costume is suspiciously familiar....

So I was just browsing Facebook earlier and I saw this one post

I don’t know, do the colours look somewhat familiar to you? Maybe a Russian skater in an anime wore something of similar colours?

The colour scheme is a bit too similar to Viktor’s to be a complete coincidence. And let me clarify; I acknowledge that Johnny Weir is a skater and a person of his own, and I am not comparing him to an anime character on baseless grounds. In fact, this American skating champion has revealed that he has watched and loves Yuri!!! On Ice, and the anime has even paid homage to one of his costumes.

To assume that his new costume is inspired by Viktor’s costume for Stammi Vicino might have been a bit of a stretch, but considering his love for the show, it’s not exactly an impossible theory.

Regardless of whether or not the costume is actually based off Viktor’s or not, I’m really excited to see the reveal.

Johnny explains the inspiration behind his new ‘Heartbreak’ costume in this Q&A session conducted during the show in which he revealed the full costume. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with Yuri on Ice. He notes that he was inspired by this video by Disclosure, and that he had been wanting to wear pink again for a long time. Listen to his explanation here. Exclusive photos of the costume reveal here.

One of my favorite performances of this now-retired program.... Johnny Weir, ‘Creep,’ Sun Valley, August 2015. Gorgeous photos from this performance here.

Footage from Johnny Weir's warmup for his performance at the University of Delaware, January 2017. See gorgeous black-and-white photos from this rehearsal at Binky's Johnny Weir Blog: http://binxblog.com/JW_AgapeBW.

In a nod to the amazing and vast Yuri On Ice fandom, which has enthusiastically embraced Johnny, the footage has been paired with a beautiful cover of 'Agape' recorded by the very talented Elisabeth Santos and dedicated to Johnny.

During his interview with The Geekiary about Yuri On Ice, Johnny said, "If I could choose one performance to skate that would match me, I would definitely say Yurio’s 'Agape.' It is totally my style." Read the full interview here.

He mentioned in his YOI interview with Crunchyroll that he is "an original" and likely would not perform to music from the show. But he also noted that "if there is enough demand, perhaps I shall try some 'Eros' or some 'Agape' some day... "

Until then, please enjoy this imagining of Johnny’s Agape as he generously offers us a glimpse into his private world on the ice.

More of Johnny's thoughts on Yuri On Ice here.

I… ended up drawing Johnny Weir from his Creep performance (♡´艸`) It was so beautiful!

[misfitmimes]

Beautiful @JohnnyGWeir in his final performance of ‘Creep’ at the University of Delaware’s US National Figure Skating Send-Off Exhibition. Click thru for 30+ additional gorgeous exclusive photos plus exclusive video.

Our photos of this performance have been monochromatically stylized to quiet the visual noise of the background and put the focus on Johnny, just as the audience did, spellbound by his costume, his movements, and his interpretation of the song. The only variation in color is seen in the red soles of his skates, and his red gloves: added to his costume that night, he explained, to symbolize the death of the program.
