2010, US Figure Skating Championships

So much has been made of American skater Johnny Weir's costumes at this point, that it's hard to know what to say anymore. Because while they often push the over-spangled envelope, many of them are admittedly pretty original and cool. (Remember the swan costume from the 2006 Olympics?) This one, though, from this season, is hard to forgive. Ladies and gentleman, we give you Johnny Weir and his half-ruffled, faux-leather, faux-man-corset unitard. And that's just his costume for the short program.
