The Weir Suite: Pink Bath Mats, Candles and Lady Gaga

The always flamboyant Johnny Weir (and no, that’s not meant as a condescending euphemism for homosexual, he really is quite flamboyant) admits he would have a hard time rooming with another guy during the Olympics, so organizers had to find him a girl to share a two-bedroom apartment with. And not just any girl. They needed a girly girl. Members of the women’s hockey team probably weren’t going to work out.↵

↵↵So the decision to go with glamorous figure skater Tanith Belbin seems a logical choice. In fact, she need not even bring her own bathroom accessories. Weir is gonna make the apartment all pretty for her.↵

↵↵⇥“I have candles lit all the time,” Weir said after his first practice Thursday. “I’m just going to make sure everything smells nice. ... I’m going to buy pink bath mats for the room for us.”↵⇥↵⇥“If you didn’t know, I’m a bit of a diva when it comes to my living situation. I think she’s the best roommate I could ask for. It’s going to be easy. I definitely couldn’t room with one of the boys,” he said with a laugh.↵⇥

↵↵ ↵↵Oh, come now, Johnny. Men can appreciate a nice smelling room. They can deal with some pink bath mats. Though having the huge Lady Gaga poster serving as the matron saint for your success might be a bit of a stretch. So, you’re right - you’re better off with Tanith.↵
