Lifestyles of the rich and eccentric

There is a fabulous article in today's Post about US figure skater Johnny Weir. For those who aren't keeping up with the Olympics, Weir flounced (yes, flounced) out of the Palavela last Thursday night, having received less-than-stellar marks on his free skate. Weir, all of 21, is a shopping fiend and something of an enigma (or a weirdo, I'm not sure which), all of which journalist Libby Copeland masterfully captured in her article. At one point, she asks him to talk about the mess of tangled necklaces he wears around his neck. He replies, "I don't take them off ever and I don't untangle them because, like, their powers are all hidden in this knot." Even if you don't know who he is, you'll find the article both amusing and disturbing. I highly recommend it.
