Johnny was in the Miss USA beauty pageant as one of the judges last Sunday ( May 16). www.universalsports.com/blogs/blog=gofigure/postid=473366.html We’ve been watching all his media appearances including red carpet and this is also no exception. Seems like beauty pageants are considered as silly by many people especially for Miss USA. I wonder why ?? I have watched only Miss World beauty pageant when I was a teenager twice when it happened to be on TV In Japan and I was interested in each country’s Miss beauty at that time. But I’ve never watched Miss USA or Miss America, because I’m usually more interested in something else than watching TV shows. He also had appearance in Larry King show for the Miss USA. Interesting thing for me was Donald Trump who is a master of marketing, who is one of the most successful and the richest people in the USA selected Johnny as one of the judges for Miss USA which he owns. Since Donald Trump became owner Miss USA, the ratings went up whil

“Johnny Weir on marriage and his upcoming book” 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

Ray’s oldest brother ( my brother-in-law) and his wife ( my sister-in-law ) visited us from Kansas on Thursday and Friday ( April 29, 30) and we spent quality two days together at our place and also at the desert museum . We have been living far away from our families since Ray transferred to Tucson, AZ for his work in 2003, and we haven’t seen his oldest brother ( and also other families ) for ages. He got married with his new wife in 2004 ,so it was our first time to meet her. They had several plans while visiting Arizona, one of them was attending David R.Hawkins seminar in Sedona , AZ. And after that they took a road trip to Grand Canyon and then they visited us in Tucson . They said Grand Canyon is amazing but Sedona is more beautiful. I think Sedona is the most beautiful place in Arizona, and some people say it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Seems like many New Age people live in Sedona. For sightseeing, I think Sedona is the best in Arizona, and for

I agree with Johnny, this episode is the most hilarious and has a lot of gems ! Ray and I laughed too much and repeatedly watched several times in the night after recorded it. With the camera rolling, I always wonder how he can act so naturally and well. He is very mysterious and that may be why I never bored watching him. It started from the training scene with Galina and Victor Petrenko before going to Grand Prix Final. After came back from NHK Trophy ( Nagano, Japan ), he was still sick with cough.  Sinus infection usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to get full recovery besides staying on ice which is very cold for training with that condition, must be one of the hard parts as a top skater.  Galina looked worried about him saying to Victor ” He is sick, he is coughing“. and Victor was saying “ he is not sick, just coughing.”  Victor was teasing Galina. Lol because when Johnny got a flu shot before going to Rostelecom Cup, Galina had no sympathy to him and was making him tr

This episode shows mainly behind the scene of his NHK Trophy competition. Before left to Japan, Galina's coaching was different than it was before going to Rostelecom cup. His jump condition didn’t look good and was struggling with the same jump when he made a mistake at “stars , Stripes and skates “ and “Rostelecom Cup “. Galina was trying to make him more confident. It was funny when she told him “ You are the most handsome skater, you are the best !” It’s true, but what does his being handsome have to do with skating… lol And loved her words to Johnny “ Step over yourself, whatever part of you is stopping you, step over it !” I thought that coaching way Galina did was successful as a result for his motivation. If she coached in hysteric , mean way like she had before, it doesn’t help anything, he would just get negativity in his mind and easy to get fear. For off ice parts, I love to see his neatness in his apartment. and love his decorat

Stars On Ice ( SOI ) has never been inviting Johnny Weir who is the three time US Nationals Champion, 2008 World bronze medallist, two time Grand Prix Final bronze medallist, also Johnny is the most popular skater who can attract many fans in the world from his unique creative beautiful skating every time he perform.  In his twitter , he has followers over 48, 000 , Facebook over 33, 000 . They could make a lot of money if they would include Johnny Weir.  Here is the article about Johnny responds to Stars On Ice Tour.  http://www.accesshollywood.com/johnny-weir-responds-to-stars-on-ice-tour-exclusion-id-love-to-have-my-own-show-maybe-getting-lady-gaga_article_30075 During 2008, there was a poll for “ which skater do you want to see the most as a guest in SOI ?” and Johnny Weir won by far from any other skaters in the poll.  However seems like their decision in that season was already decided to invite Evan Lysacek and Tanith & Ben before they started the poll. SOI

　 http://ow.ly/1gk7h 　 I was not surprised to hear about this news since hearing he was meeting with a book publisher with Tara before he went to LA.  I was guessing he may not go to Worlds and might have decided to retire. And I’m happy for his decision because if he thought it’s the best for him, I think that’s the best. Personally I was already getting tired to watch COP competitions with the political games, bias from judges, and I don’t feel this kind of system fit with artist types like Johnny who is perfectionist for every details movements and lines plus natural expression with music. So I don’t have disappointment about his withdrawal, since I was more hoping for it.    I feel sorry for his fans who bought ticket to see him in Worlds ,Torino.    And also for his new fans who discovered him recently. My husband and I were also the same when we discovered Johnny, we started collecting all the dvds which has all the his performances he did in the past and
