LOL,

So, no mention of Johnny Weir dressed up like a Dr Franken Furter at the annual West Hollywood Halloween Parade? I heard about the corset and pink little "things" as adornment. JW wants to push our heads into his 'sense of style' and any other body part he can get us close enough to.

If he was a good enough skater to conquer the sport, then he'd have every right to do so, but he's just a very bad caricature of a man and a real distraction to the rest of the competitors.....

I expect to see a sports "What Ever Happened To" story about him in a few years - it will be a piece about how he lives with his costumes in a one bedroom house. Him on the couch and the bedroom filled with cedar and dead animal skins.

The guy is entertaining, not for his skating or his desire or to be a Russia Princess. It's the story of what happens to annoying people who have talent, but toss it away, acting like idiots. He has nothing to fear from PETA or animal activists.

He'll get beat up by woman he makes fun of by saying something like, "You look like a man in that outfit!"

Sorry,

Snow boarders look like they generally smell and dress like tramps.

I really can't say anything about their talent. I have a hard time standing up and urinating most days. But, I think I do have a little bit of a say as to how I would like to see the U.S. athletes look when they represent.

Hannah Teter finally decides to brush her hair...Hmmm, I wonder if brushing armpit and leg hair are part of the program too. Deodorant and soap? Could shampoo fit into their training regime?

I am a freak about seeing people with dirty, unkempt hair.

Perhaps they should give medal to all the parasites living on the kids too?
