Thank you for transcribing this, I could only skim it because I'm at work, but this seems like a cool article. I plan to come back to read it all. (I'd only buy the magazine if he were actually on the cover.) :P

What I read got me so exited for the book. I know a lot of the focus will be on him "officially" coming out, but the main thing that stood out to me was the equestrian stuff; I always forget about that.

You're welcome. It was a decent article, minus the use of "flamboyant." *rme* I almost always buy People and it comes out on Thursdays at my local grocery store so I rushed to buy it today. ;)

I've been eagerly anticipating this book for some time but now I really NEED to read it, dammit! Is it Tuesday yet? ;)

Oh wow, it's almost the eleventh. I need to figure out what I'm going to wear on Tuesday for the signing. :D

Got my outfit! :D And I am very pleased with it if I do say so myself.

Thank you so much for doing this. Between the outpouring of love for him on twitter, his tweet, and these excerpts I'm all emotional, lol, so sorry I can't say anything intelligent rn :) I'm going to be such a wreck next Tuesday when I read the whole book!

You're very welcome! I'm glad he's feeling the love; I haven't bothered to check his mentions on Twitter. I did love his tweet though.

kareneliza January 7 2011, 01:46:12 UTC

So much love :) He was even trending for a while! lol

YW!

Ditto! <3

Yes. Johnny Weir 'I'm not ashamed to be me' is the title of the article.

Thank you!! I'm going to go out and get a copy of this asap.

abelfan January 7 2011, 01:29:33 UTC

No problem. If I hadn't seen the previous post, I wouldn't have known. I typically buy mags on Fridays at B&N (I have a discount card there) but I knew that other stores had it today so I got it post haste. :p

zhonnika January 7 2011, 02:12:17 UTC

Heee. I'm going to get my copy tomorrow. BTW I have already run into this translated into Russian, haha. People are so excited :D (me included)

Thank you, bb!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Crying so hard now because of the parts where he mentioned Patti.

abelfan January 7 2011, 01:22:06 UTC

You're most welcome!

Lij! Great icon. ;)

Aww, those were sweet, weren't they? I love her so much and I'm so glad he has her as his mother.
