Sexiest Man Alive

Posted on November 16, 2012 | 2 Comments

It’s that time of year when publishers trot out their “Sexiest Man Alive” issue.  This year People Magazine named Channing Tatum the sexiest man alive but this is so 6 months ago.  You only need to turn on the radio to know that everyone in America is cuckoo for Koreans. How else can one explain “Gagnum Style” by Korean singer, Psy?

So I have to agree with The Onion who named Kim Jong-Un, Supreme Leader of North Korea the sexiest man alive for 2012. You can read more about Kim Jong-Un on The Onion, here.

The Carrie Diaries on CW

Posted on November 3, 2012 | 1 Comment

Will the prequel to Sex In The City, The Carrie Diaries be a hit or a flop?  The CW show will debut in January, and to drum up interest they have started to release Season Preview clips on YouTube.

The show opens in Connecticut in 1984 soon after 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw loses her mother.  I can’t say that this will make it to my DVR, but I can see the appeal. The trailer recently released makes me think the show which I’d initially thought sounded terrible may have promise.

MFA exhibit: Mario Testino “In Your Face”

Posted on October 25, 2012 | 2 Comments

mario testino and tom bradyThe Mario Testino show In Your Face at the MFA Boston includes 122 photographs.  Have you already seen this show which premiered at Boston’ Museum of Fine Arts this past weekend and will run through February 3rd?

This show would seem to be a “Must See” for fashionistas and pop culture enthusiasts.  What an amazing opportunity; no schlepping to the MoMA in MidTown, NYC like you had to see the Alexander McQueen show. More about this show at the MFA here.

Obama – Hendrix Mural in MA

Posted on October 8, 2012 | 2 Comments

The President’s Rock Club in Quincy, MA mural of President Barack Obama as Jimi Hendrix has to come down after a resident took issue with it, saying the mural was a political sign.

What a pity, considering the name of the bar / club the mural was sort of appropriate. Maybe they should rename their bar as the Former President’s Rock Club then they could have a mural of Bill Clinton as John Coltrane playing the saxophone.

Gangnam Style by PSY

Catchy or Annoying – What do you think?

Move over Carly Rae Jepsen, your catchy pop tune from the summer Call Me Maybe has been supplanted by an equally catchy, although unlikely pop song from Korea.  This unintelligible song by PSY has climbed to the top of the charts in the USA, and the rather odd dance moves from this video are inspiring many, funny spoofs.

These two classy Bostonians (actually Cantabrigians) still look great.  How I wish they were a gay couple who purchased the condo next door. I can imagine evenings playing scrabble and long, serious discussions about which designer on Project Runway we like best.

Scott Herman – NH native

Glum that the weekend is rapidly coming to an end? Me too so I thought I’d post a photo of Scott Herman, who is from New England.  Not only is he incredibly easy on the eyes, but he’s a great LGBT ally.

Steve Frayne

Posted on September 30, 2012 | Leave a comment

Steve Frayne may be the most famous magician / illusionist I’ve never heard of before.  Frayne is the U.K.’s version of David Blaine.  Perhaps best known for walking across the Thames, I loved this new video.

Take a moment to watch this amazing video

Idina Menzel in Boston this week

Posted on September 26, 2012 | 1 Comment

Idina Menzel’s tour Barefoot at the Symphony comes Boston this week when she performs at the Wang on Saturday night, September 29th.

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to see Idina perform part of her show when she was a special guest on the Western Caribbean Sea Atlantis Cruise.  Although the sets are the same, I’m inclined to think that her comments may have been a bit more raw knowing she was performing in front of an entirely gay audience. If you are going to the show in Boston we can always compare notes after.

So You Think You Can Dance

Posted on September 20, 2012 | Leave a comment

Twitch dancerOn Tuesday I was watching So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD for short). One of the performances included a former contestant who comes back periodically to dance with current contestants.  Anyone who has watched SYTYCD over the years will recognize Twitch.

I loved Twitch from the moment I saw him audition however many years ago on SYTYCD.  Here is a video of Twitch from a couple of years ago dancing with contestant, Kherington Payne.

Pop Chart LabAre you a beer lover? You may want to check out Pop Chart Lab’s Breweries of the United States.  They claim this is the most comprehensive mapping of the breweries of the USA.

All told the map charts over 1,000 breweries from craft to macro and everything in between. The map of breweries is $30 and may be purchased online here.

Above is an image of the map of the USA, and below I’ve included a blow up of the breweries in and around Boston. Pop Chart Lab
