http://www.vman.com/blog/johnny-weir-can-skate-a-little/ Johnny was invited by New York Fashion week ice show , cocktail party as a headliner last week. ( February 19) Johnny performed with the music “ poker face “ by Lady Ga Ga. This music is similar to European disco music which is upbeat. And his performance was really fantastic and sooooooo sexy with the costume, the way how he moves, his face, his body line, his form ! According to ice network article, he was planning to perform “ Feeling good “ but he was suggested to do something more current. This was good, because I was not so crazy for the music of “ feeling good “. I really loved his “ Poker Face ” so much. I hope he will skate with this kind of music again. Seems like he will perform this number in Korean ice show in April. Good for Korean fans ! He may perform it in Japanese COI, too. But not sure Japanese fans love this number or not. Johnny has many fans world wide, but so far, looks like many of his...

I was planning to go to an international supermarket this weekend since some of our Japanese foods such as Miso, Japanese rice, etc.. have run out. I can’t live without Japanese food. We usually go get them once every two months. There are some Asian supermarkets in Tucson, but we have been using the biggest one since we moved here. It takes about 20 minutes drive from our place. On the way to the supermarket, we go through downtown. Downtown here is very small compared with many other big cities. People here may be more walking around the street than St. Louis, but it’s still very quiet. The building of the international market looks like a factory. When we got there in the first time, we got lost and it was hard to find it because there was no big sign for it, and it’s in a quiet place, and also it didn’t look like a supermarket other than a weird warehouse or a factory. Anyway, we have been using this Asian market since 5 or 6 years ago. Sometimes we saw a young Asian ...

I’m already getting used to live in Arizona where it is very dry. When we moved here, I had a skin problem and got itchy skin from the dry weather. Maybe because the place I used live was Missouri , and it was more humid than Arizona. I really loved Missouri ’s weather and my skin condition at that time might be the best while living there. The worst place might be my hometown, Tokyo since I often got skin allergy in winter season every year and sometime had pimples on my face. I fixed this issue by taking some herbs in Arizona.  It was interesting because when we traveled to Italy, we both got skin itchy everywhere , and even we came back from Italy, we were still having the problem and solved it by herbs. Because Italy is much more humid than here. Maybe we are living in the most dry place in the USA. And I may get this problem anywhere where is more humid than our place whenever we go on a trip. I suppose that my skin has been already made up to live in very dry place. BT...

http://www.absoluteskating.com/interviews/2009lambiel.htm Stephane looks like a little gain ? In the photo, his face looks slightly rounder than before to me. Ray and I were laughing while reading his interview about the new judging system and competitions this season. Because he has many same thoughts as us.  Also I think it’s similar to Johnny’s thought about the new judging system It’s always great to read the perceptions and ideas from true artists. And sounded like he really enjoys right now, performing for only crowds without any pressure. And no regret for his decision about retirement . I really think he retired in a good time especially this season, this brand new system became more crazy. Interviewer You once said that after your decision you were sad for two weeks. You should know that there are lots of people who are still sad, who miss you during every competition, every Grand Prix event… Stephane It’s sad, it’s a sad situation, because the skating world, the comp...

Recently, I’m into Yogurt Mask for my skin care since figuring out about how yogurt can promote a smooth skin texture by gently peeling off the dead skin layer. I have very sensitive skin , and had so many bad experience with cosmetics which were not made by natural ingredient such as famous brand cosmetics , even cosmetics with all natural ingredient, some plants were not fit with my skin. It took a long time to find a good one which fit with my skin. And according to the article, yogurt is especially beneficial for sensitive skin , besides it can also lighten spots and even out a patchy skin tone. Plain Yogurt seems like popular here, and if we go to a super market on Saturday evening , it 's all sold out. And only mixture with fruit or not plain yogurts are left. Luckily, when we went there, only one plain yogurt left . After showered , I put two table spoon of plain yogurt , and also one tabel spoon of flour into a bowl. And mixture with them and put it on ...

I’m so glad Johnny wrote a message to his fans in his official site ! As usual he is soooo sweet and heartfelt, and always write in his own voice, so quickly when his fans needed. That is one of the reason why he is so loved by many of his fans world wide. Johnny Weir - Dear My fans ( Johnny Wrote ) Title: Thank you My dear fans, I want to thank you all for your support in this rough, rough time. I also want to thank all of you who supported me both in Cleveland and in front of the TV set around the World. I want to say a special thank you to the fans who brought my banners not only from Johnny's Angels America, but also from Japan and Russia as well as those of you who were involved in sending the balloons and teddy bear to my ice rink. It was such a honor to skate in such a loving environment. (My comments) It's so lovely and classy, he never forgot to appreciate to his fans. (Johnny's words ) I want to apologize for the way I performed in Cleveland. I know...

I was not going to watch this Exhibition since I knew Johnny is not going to perform. But since hearing that they may show Johnny’s award for readers choice during the event, I just wanted to watch that part and planning to watch it. However, it might be too late ? Or they didn’t show that part ?, when we turned on the TV, it already started and Ryan Bradley was in interview. And was unable to see Johnny in it. I was cooking during the time so I didn’t watch all of them, but Hmm… whole the performances I watched bored me except for some only music. I was disappointed when I watched Meryl & Davis. They did my favorite music “ Don’t stop me now “ by Queen . I felt a little frustrated seeing their performance with the music, because the music is so powerful, exciting , so if they could skate with much more speed, effortless super passionate moves , it would be better.  As it was, I thought it was quite slow.. But some of the choreography was good. Maybe since that ...
