Lest there was any doubt...(see Feb 18th blog.) The Washington Post style section has yet another feature on American figure skater, Johnny Weir....and his penchant for shopping. The story is here. The opening graph: "Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir has been out shopping every day, shopping so much that the Louis Vuitton store here, which he affectionately calls "Louie" and which he's visited six or seven times since arriving two weeks ago, paid for his cab recently when he was leaving." Hi. Oh, and then there's the picture included in the article of Johnny wearing rhinestone sunglasses, rabbit fur hand-warmers, and a beaver-and-python coat. There is other "incriminating" evidence: Johnny purchasing
a Dolce & Gabbana hoodie that he says reads "Sex trainer: Best to practice seven days a week," a Fendi scarf, and True Religion jeans, which are his favorite brand ("I like how my butt looks in them"). Once again, no mention that Johnny's gay. And once again, it's COMPLETELY not necessary.
