What would Brian Botano do?!?

So, how do you kill time on a mundane Valentine's Day evening?

Amy and I grabbed a pizza and desert and hunkered down on the couch to watch some hot alpine skiers and some flamboyant figure skaters.

And all i can say is ...

I am in love with the male figure skaters.

Seriously. All of them.

I love anyone who has the audacity to wear this.

<-------------------

(It's like the clothing reincarnation of a fire exit in a tetris game that this dude got stuck playing in "TRON." Kevin Van der Perren is reppin' from Belgium and *definitely* had techno incorporated into his short program. It was awesome.)


Next: Johnny Weir. (U! S! A!)

He dressed up like a swan tonight, wears Fendi and has those ridiculous bug-eyed sunglasses.

(And according to an article in WaPo, he has 200+ of them.)

He was definitely sporting bright pink lip gloss and a lot of mascara and proudly saying that the Republican south wouldn't agree with him. He's a ton of fun to watch, and he's 2nd behind some ridiculouly good Russian, so, tune in on Thursday.

[Also: Not sure what the gridion on the arm is supposed to represent in the swan... obviously the glove is the beak...but the embroidery/beadwork was truly amazing. The sparkle doesn't show up in the pictures at all, but it was glittery and totally fucking awesome. Promise.]















This dude ... (Brian Joubert)... was definitely skating to the james bond theme song.
Then he busted out the gun.
And then the 007 in sequins on the back.
And a vinyl-tape gun holster on his thigh.
One of his skating moves also involved a "driving-the-car" move.
Oh yeah. He went there.

(Notice that the outfit also has the trademark crazy-ass Bond watch.)

Did i mention this guy is French?

Anyway, i love figure skating and i hope i get off work on Thursday early enough to see how it all unfolds.

(go america!)
<3.

p.s. the nbc announcer totally said that brian botano is updating on their official blog. i couldn't find it, but it exists.
