My thought about the article “Johnny Weir on marriage and his upcoming book” It’s just Johnny.





I really loved Johnny’s answers in this interview. On the other hand, a little complicated feeling when I think about Johnny’s feelings, if my guess is right.


Johnny : I believe as long as you can enter marriage and keep it going until you die, that’s the way to do a marriage. I don’t like the idea of marriage for money or tax breaks.

I believe in the right reasons for people to get married: Love, devotion, partnership. If you’re going to get married, you need to be sure that that’s the person you’re going to be with for the rest of your life. But I believe everyone should have the same rights.





Unlike Johnny
, I grew up with several situations with my parents, they experienced divorce and etc... And I knew if you got married with someone who is not match with you, your marriage life will be a nightmare, seeing my parents while I was growing.


Even both are originally sweet people, but communicating with someone who are not match can change the personality.

Selecting a partner based on money or fame is not for me either. But if both has similar purpose, then it may not go wrong, I guess. But in the end , I believe what we need the most is always love. Love can even cure illness.

I often thought Johnny’s parents sounds ideal parents and I love how they taught their kids, both Johnny and his brother Boz successfully by reading interviews from his mother Patti.

I happened to find someone who is right for me without doubt but it took a while to find my Mr.Right which I can surely get the inspiration.



Johnny: I don’t know if I’m the marrying kind. I’m very much catlike. And sex isn’t that important to me. Partnership is something I have with my family and my friends.

My close circle of friends are my partners in crime. I have a certain way I like to live. If someone wanted to be with me, they’d either have to be very dumb or very accepting.This part reminds me of Freddie Mercury’s partnership with his ex-girlfriend, I’ve read in his biography books.

I often thought Johnny Weir and Freddie Mercury have some things in common such as free spirits, genius artist, their love for creativity and luxury life, chameleon parts to their personality, they have many kinds of faces, controversial personality, always busy doing something new, Freddie also loved to wear fur when he was young, etc...



And that’s one of the reasons Johnny is interesting for me besides his talents and skating.
But Johnny may be more outspoken, unlike Freddie Mercury.

Johnny’s words

“I have a certain way I like to live. If someone wanted to be with me, they’d either have to be very dumb or very accepting.”

The words “ very accepting” reminds me of Freddie Mercury ‘s long time girl friend Mary who had been supportive for him since before Queen became famous. It’s a different story though.

Freddie also believed she was his true love which he felt the most comfortable with. But he was also like a cat person, who can not be satisfied with only one partner. It’s complicated.


Freddie broke up with Mary out of considering Mary’s happiness. And Mary got married with other man who also accepts her love forever for Freddie. Mercury’s song “ Love of my life” always reminds me about his love for Mary.

But no matter which gender people belong with, I think Johnny cares for whether a person’s spirit matches with his, more than caring about labels.

In this way, he’s similar to Freddie, I think. And Johnny is like a cat. It’s not about sexual orientation, and sex, but his partner must be very patient or similar kind of view of life and taste to live with him.

I have thought that Johnny may not get romantic feeling to female in the past, but I changed my thought later. He is mystery.

There has been many rumor about his sexual orientation and his past relationships in internet at gossip places.

I remember that when Johnny started his first Myspace during 2007 spring, he wrote a blog and he had problem with his ex-friends who were very close friends with Johnny.

And sounded like they were sending some information about something about Johnny’s private information and which Johnny doesn’t appreciate and he was very upset about it. And he had to close his first My space.

But soon after he made a new Myspace which later was also closed due to large amount of threats against him.
I felt very bad about to hear about
it at that time, and it’s awful that people who he was trusting started hurting him by speculating about his private life he wants to keep secret about.

I often heard it’s difficult to get true friends who we can trust when we became famous.
There is jealousy toward Johnny from his ex-friends.
What else can you imagine ? 

Those rumor might come from some of his ex-friends. And people who are curious about his sexual relationship might write about it in their blogs.

Rumor always become something different from the truth. Because of people’s mouth to mouth.

Someone who called herself as his fan who has never met Johnny even was trying to out Johnny by saying she heard from his best friend Paris that Johnny is gay, as if she is Johnny and Paris’s close friend. It’s amazing how one can make that kind of lie as if it’s the fact.If I were Johnny, hmmm I would become entrusted to people.

“Weir as two-faced, on the one hand benefiting from the work of gay-rights groups while at the same time refusing to verbally say whether he is gay.”


Johnny : What year do we live in? Is it not 2010? It’s not 1910. I think the time for labeling people has come to an end. Everyone needs to move on and live in a way that everyone can live together.

Whatever your own personal life is, it doesn’t matter. It has no basis on who I am as a person. My sexuality isn’t something I keep sacred but it’s not something I need to defend. I am so thrilled that GLAAD did come to my defense, but it wasn’t only gay groups that came to my defense.
For someone to criticize me for not saying yes or no to a question is silly.
It’s clear to me that Johnny doesn’t like to belong with any sexual orientation which are labeled by people. and doesnt like everyone to see him based on the sexual orientation.
He is a Free spirit. (IMO) So no way to answer this kind of question.

It’s unusual, so I guess most people can not imagine these situation. “Free love“. This words may be fit with Johnny.

I found many people want to think Johnny to be gay based on the rumor for his past relationships. And talk like it’s the fact. I suppose it must be frustrating for him every time he found these comments.

Until last season, dreamer fans who want to think Johnny as their prince also might be making him completely different image of him.
Some of his fans stay, some leave, but also new fans are always coming.

And I think fans who are right for him stay.

Johnny Weir of a thousand of faces.


The interviewer : " However, Weir told me that he will disclose much of his sexual past in a new autobiography that he is writing, which will come out in 2011. He said he’s using the book to tell the full story of Johnny Weir because he can control the message in the book, and because “there are people out there who want to hear that story.”


Sign me up.

Because of so many rumor about his sexual relationship, and his past relationships, he might be getting tired of that. How people take his words is out of control whatever he wrote though.

People just see it whether his partner was female or male and judges it with labels. They just want to label. Gay or bi or straight.

I happened to get married with a man, ( in Japan, we don’t call straight or not) but I’m not sure for my sexual orientation at all and you know, it doesn’t mean I’m a straight woman. It’s just our both spirits are match.
I’ve never attracted by manly men, or macho. No interest to see man’s naked photos at all. Johnny Weir is special because it’s belong with art and beauty which I imagine.

Johnny has many faces.
And at the end I always see him as
“ It’s just Johnny.”

Sweet Food which does not get fat - Warabi mochi

I recently love eating this sweet food that Japanese call " Warabi mochi " which is made of 0 calories food psyllium in my coffee break time.   It's sweet food but I use Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener instead of sugar when I make it. Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener is 0 calorie s and 0 glycemic and very similar taste as normal sugar. It is said it's derived from monk fruit, which looks like a small green gourd native to regions of China and Thailand.  It's not artificial so it is not bad for health so I feel comfortable eating it. Warabi mochi is a food which is normally made of Kinako ( soybean flour) & sugar & warabi powder and it's one of my favorite foods. However it's high calorie foods so if I eat a lot, it's easy to gain weight.   Because Warabi mochi flour is Starch and has sugar in it and is high calorie.  So I was not eating it. and then recently I found the recipe of diet Warabi Mochi which is made of Psyllium...

Beauty skin care, Ninon de L'Enclos ‘s Secret of her young skin

Besides extra virgin olive oil, I’ve been doing a mixture of another great natural formula since two weeks ago. This information came from Ray who happened to find about Ninon de L’Enclos ’s amazing story concerning her youthful skin. According to the article, Ninon de L’ Enclos is known as a famous French beauty from the late 1600s. She kept her youthful skin until 85 years old when she passed away. Even in to her 80’s she was attracting many young men who fell hopelessly in love with her. She never published her secret of her youthful skin until the end , only telling her special friends about her secret formula. There is no photo of her, but seeing her painting in other websites, she looks in her 30’s when she was 85. According to the article, her face was as smooth and free of winkles in her 80’S as it had been at 20. She hated wrinkles and successfully kept her skin youthful , using her special secret formula. This information blew me away, and immediately ...

Franz Liszt’s dangerous love

  Franz Liszt was quite tall in his generation, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall , long blonde hair , piercing sharp eyes, pianist' long narrow and delicate hands and fingers. His body build was very slender. People who knew him described his personality as full of charm, charisma, and very knowledgeable.  And he loved brainy women. He was the consummate artist. It seems that Liszt loved dangerous love , which thrilled him and gave him excitement rather than a stable, peaceful , safe love. Franz Liszt While reading about his biography, I was wondering why he fell in love with two princesses who were already married. Marie D’Agoult He seems to have had a lot of love affairs in his life, someone found out that he had at least 26 serious relationships in his life ( besides countless other affairs ) but the only ladies he thought about marriage was with these two princesses , Marie D’Agoult and Carolyne Sayn Wittgenstein ?

Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin’s friendship Part 1

Frederyk Chopin   I’m a long time fan of Chopin’s music since when I was a teenager. Started loving his music from hearing his Polonaise , then Noctunes , Etudes … Frederyk Chopin I was using one of Chopin’s Nocturnes as my background music for my answering machine when I was in my 20s. In Japan, many of his music is famous and used in many TV dramas, commercials, movies, and mostly wealthy bourgeois family scenes. My image of many of Chopin ’s music that I’ve listened to is of a cozy, bourgeois world. From almost all his music I’ve ever heard, I often pictured an elegant, wealthy family’s world or a story about a family who are living in a luxury antique style house. Many of Mozart ’s music reminds me of a social life in an older generation, a story about bourgeois world in a gorgeous luxury palace. For Liszt ’s music, his music is very variety, ranging from an image of a sweet passionate love story for couples, all the way to nightmare horror story type o...

My favorite ways of Law of Attraction Part 3 - Successful Wishing - Pierre Franckh

Pierre Franckh’s books “ Successful Wishing “ are another of my favorite books.     There are series, 1 to 6 , and are not published in English , but I did find them in a Japanese book store,  translated by a Japanese translator.   Pierre Franckh is a German actor ( Movies & TV) from 1959 – 2003, and is also a movie director and a writer.  Since 1996, he published many books and became a best selling author.  Franckh wrote based on his personal experiences from when he was a child . I love the way how he writes , it’s very easy to read and direct to the point, very clear how to do it with step by step instruction. Also importance of finding what you truly want.    Many people are actually not realizing what they really want and then when they get what they wanted,  still not feeling satisfied. Pierre said that before making your wishes and order to universe, it’s important to clear ...

Organic foods and healthy living “ You are what you eat ? “

We‘ve been enjoying organic foods since a month ago.   Because we care for our health and also organic foods taste more delicious than normal vegetables.   Recently, I really feel the famous quote  “ You are what you eat . “   is true.   Although healthy life comes from balance between mind, body, skin care, good night sleep and activities besides food life .   Health is a treasure.   Also I realized that “ good blood circulation ” is one of the most important key to keep healthy and look young skin.   After being amazed to see Styx’s ageless Tommy Shaw on TV, I started searching about “ secret of youth “.  He looks so much younger than his age.  Also, there was an interview with Styx on CNN in the morning about a week ago and they talked about what they think are the keys to longevity and a healthy life. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2012/04/23/ex...

”The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.” - Albert Einstein 

Originally we were all creative because all children are creative. While growing up, many children lose their creativity by seeing, reading, hearing what many grown ups do and teach. According to a book called " Goal " by Brian Tracy, "Fully 95% of children tested between the ages of three and five are rated as highly creative. Of the same children tested again as teenagers, only about 5% rated  as highly creative. What happened to them in the interim ?   As they went through school, they were taught that if you want to get along, you follow the crowd. They learned not to question or challenge the teacher or to suggest unusual ideas. In their attempts to be liked and accepted by their peers, they allowed their creativity to die down, like a fire without fuel.  " "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grows up."  -  Pablo Picasso But if we don't use creativity, we lose it. It means that the more we use cre...

Charm of Kenichi Hagiwara - Shoken

From Japanese Movie " Ame no Amsterdam (Rain in Amsterdam)" I've been into the late 1960s to 1970s generation since several years ago. I don't know why but I'm very interested in older generation's people, trends, lifestyle, scenery, habit, TV drama, music, films, etc..   and not so interested in new things much.  There are many new discoveries through checking out old stuff while reading and watching it, which I didn't know before. and about several months ago, I happened to find a youtube video of  a famous Japanese actor called Kenichi Hagiwara who was my favorite actor in 1970s when I was a kid. His nickname is Shoken and he is also a singer of Rock/blues music.                      Shoken( 18 years old) singing ”Legend of Emerald” Shoken was one of the super stars in Japan mainly from the late 60s generation to early 80s. When he was 15 years old,   he joined an amateu...
