You know that saying, “go big or go home”? Figure skater Johnny Weir chose to go big — very big:
Watch for me tonight on @accesshollywood with @billybush fishing in the Black Sea. Yeah, I said fishing. ?

How do you say “utterly fabulous” in Russian? Because that’s exactly what that was.

Russians reacting to Johnny Weir fishing in a fur coat. Priceless. Thanks for being you, Johnny!

And who knows? Maybe Weir has a future career in international diplomacy. He’s certainly off to a great start!
so I think Johnny Weir in Rick Owens boots, fur coat & Jackie O frames, Black Sea-fishing w/ @BillyBush just advanced gay rights in Russia.
