It's very important that when you attend a political fundraiser, you gather at a place of incredible, filthy wealth. Which is how I found myself at the stunning Sowden House, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in Hollywood. The event was for marriage equality, but I had only one thing on my mind: MEET JOHNNY WEIR. After about a half-hour of making conversation in a sea of botox, I looked up and saw something even more stunning than the house — a gazelle in low heels, black leggings, a blazer and a Tiffany shopping bag. Johnny. He was standing about ten feet away, surrounded by friends. His lawyer, who I knew slightly, was with him. So I snuck up next to his lawyer and begged, “Introduce me to Johnny.” He made a very nice introduction and then Johnny looked at me and said, “That's SO gay! That's SO gay!” Wow. Cloud nine. I wanted to make my time with him as efficient as possible, so I asked if he was in LA that often and could he come by Current sometime so we could do something together. “I'm in LA every so often. But you know me, girl, I'm everywhere.” I normally wouldn’t love someone calling me “girl,” but with Johnny, it felt right. So here's a pic of Johnny and me. I look like his lawyer-father in this picture. Which is fine. How can you look good next to all that beauty? If you couldn't make it — and let's face it, if everyone could come to these things they wouldn't be so special! — you can watch Johnny's delightful and smart speech on YouTube: Johnny might have been too polite to plug his show (until prompted repeatedly by his host), but I'm not! If somehow you haven't seen That's Gay: Johnny Weir, now's your chance: added by: bryan_safi
