Johnny Weir Does Pilates and Loves Foot Massages
In case you slept through the Olympics, or, more important, missed the recent New York magazine story, Johnny Weir is a figure skater. He's the flamboyant, "dancerly" American who wears feathers and who did not win the gold medal at Vancouver. Lagging the story just a little, Gawker.TV has today posted several home videos of campy Johnny talking about his Pilates practice, his orgasmic foot massage machine, and about how he's not getting enough action. Were these taken before or after the Games? Hard to say, just as it's hard to say they're 100% authentic. Still, figure skating junkies and South Park script writers should check them out....

Bonnie Glass on Processing Life on the Ice
Bonnie Glass is a skating coach, social worker, and an alum of the Miami University Women's Synchronized Skating Team.
Skating is like breathing. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life. It’s part of the way I take care of myself. My parents got me on the ice when I was about 7, and I just fell in love. I began competing at probably 9. So I skated all through grade school and high school, competing as an individual. I ended up going to Miami University in Ohio. I didn’t go there for skating, but they’re the only university that has skating as a varsity sport, and I joined the women's synchronized skating team.

Heavy climb with hands behind the back in the saddle and then out of the saddle. It is all in the core. Holy smokes.
