What tha?

Growing up, my sister had a crush on Viktor Petrenko.

I know *sigh* but it's true. She used to talk about the size of his thighs and how nice they looked in his tights. I should say at one point she also had a thing for Brian Orser. But you know, we all had our "thing". Hers just happened to be male figure skaters (and the band The Escape Club.)

But I digress.

Last night, the 2008 US Men's figure skating championships was on, and this was my first exposure to Mr. Johnny Weir. His costumes made me... Uncomfortable. And I'm left wondering:

Who dresses these men?


Last night's outfit tops even this monstrosity (I might have to do a mid-morning update should I find myself a picture.)

But I tell you. It's at times like these that even I yearn for the bulging thighs of Mr. Petrenko.

Note: Turns out Viktor is actually Johnny's coach... Coincidence?

UPDATE: Muchos gracias for THIS, Pants.

This is a case where sterotypes are acceptable and necessary. All male figure skaters are gay...or should be.

Note the phrase "sparkling onsie." That is all.
