The thoughts of Johnny Weir

Johnny says: "I performed to Born This Way by Lady Gaga. I did full sparkle crotch because, you know, that's where babies come from, and my baby would be sparkly."

Johnny also says: "Just because its sparkly doesn't mean I'm going to love it."

Conclusion: Johnny's baby would be Edward Cullen, because he's sparkly.  But Johnny may not love him.  That's okay, because Twilight was really terrible.


Johnny says: "I love her usage of proper headbanding."

Conclusion: I didn't think there was such a thing as improper headbanding, but apparently there is.  See below.



(You shouldn't even be surprised that Camilla and an Olsen twin are headband disasters.)

Johnny says: "One hundred points for use of headband on our next team."

Conclusion: I'm going to assume our next team is Princess Diana and Natalie Portman.  In that case, agreed.


Johnny says: "I say we make the nickname "team cheekbones" for them."

Conclusion: I think the team in question must consist of Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch.  I wonder if they would beat the Princess Diana/Natalie Portman headband team.


Johnny says: "I, like many fashionistas, will overpack so I have options everyday. I came with about 10 pairs of shoes, four fur coats, 10 blazers--I have a lot of stuff here. I have four giant suitcases that are the size of the Ford Focuses. I overpack. I'm not an economical packer and no one has every accused me of being that. My advice for when you're going on a trip is to overpack."

Conclusion: Can't agree, Johnny.  NEVER check a bag.  Here's what I think your suitcase looks like:


Johnny says: "Wait! Don't get salt water on my mink."

Johnny also says: "Shiny things attract fish so I should be shiny. I'll wear jewelry. Jewels--I feel like this little piece--pretty fancy. I think that'll do for fishing. That'll be attractive to a fish."

Conclusion: Um, well, I guess you have to admire him for going outside of his comfort zone (even though we can't admire him for wearing fur).  That's nice that he wore a special brooch for the fish.
There are no words.

Johnny says: "Leopard: Fierce, clever, shows its true spots. Also, I live in New Jersey, and if you don't feature leopard print here, you might as well live in the city."

Conclusion: Considering I did a Google image search for "leopard" and "New Jersey" and got the picture below, I think he's right.

And finally...

Johnny says: "For every 1 person bullying me, it is one less bully harassing another individual and for that reason I am strong enough to bear it."


Conclusion: Dammit, Johnny Weir.  Is it dusty in here?

Did you enjoy the fabulous wisdom of Johnny Weir?  Then I hope you'll consider a donation to my March of Dimes walk to save all the sparkly babies!

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...
