I’m down on Cape Cod to attend my little brother’s wedding, which is actually tomorrow afternoon. I couldn’t be happier for them, and I’m looking forward to the celebration. I love them both dearly.
The Huffington Post reports HIV among gay and bisexual men is increasing and a new study — unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and scope — is underway to find out why.
The survey which is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University will poll 25,000 volunteers through an online survey.
You may read the full article in the Huffington Post here. To take the survey which only takes a few minutes click here.
What do Halle Berry, Zac Efron, David Beckham and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor all have in common? They will all guest star on the 43rd season of Sesame Street. You can see the full list of stars who are all joining Bird, Ernie, Bert and the cast later this fall by linking here.
I cannot think of a longer running show that has more appeal than Sesame Street. Nearly everyone who is anyone in American pop culture and beyond has joined this children’s show at one point in their career.
Do you remember watching Sesame Street? My favorite character was (no surprise) The Cookie Monster.
Last week I was talking about how difficult it is to find photographs of handsome black men with hairy chests. Hearing my passive-aggressive pleas for help, Eric forward me this image. Although this guy isn’t as hairy as past posts, he is most definitely worthy. What do you think?
Last week I shared a logo dating back to 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission that would never fly today for reasons so obvious and not worth going into. On a more comical note, I thought I’d share a similar logo-failure. Which do you notice first the restaurant or the unintended imagery?
I’m wrapping up work early today.
Keeping with the aquatic theme from last week’s suddenly it makes sense post, I thought I’d share this very cool photo from the London Olympic games. Why isn’t synchronized diving on every weekend? I can watch this all day long. Did you watch synchronized diving this year?
What Olympic sporting event(s) do you enjoy watching?
I cannot stop watching U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, dancing at a dinner party hosted earlier this week by South African Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane in Johannesburg.
Couple that with the fact that back in January we learned President Obama can carry a tune when he sang a couple lines from Al Green’s R&B hit Let’s Stay Together and you come up with what I think may be the coolest administration ever.
Between Hillary’s moves and Obama’s singing chops, I’d love to hang with them one Saturday night.

BuzzFeed has been sharing humorous photos of athletes while they have been focusing on their events and performances. However it was their collection of shot-put photographs from earlier this week that had me smiling and chuckling out loud.
American, Kurt Roberts, is shown above, but if you’d like to see the full list of photos link to the BuzzFeed Article here.
Last week’s post of the Louis Vuitton waffle maker reminded me of this equally if not even more absurd creation, the Vuitton condom.
FYI – Neither the waffle maker nor the condoms are actual products.
The Aquitaine Group made news in the fall of 2011 when they announced they would remodel the restaurant space previously occupied by Rocca in the South End and reopen it as the first Italian restaurant property the group owns and manages.
Cinquecento has garnered much attention and as recently as last week, positions for restaurant managers and a bar chef were seen posted online. The 300+ seat Italian-concept restaurant has been eagerly awaited and although a definite opening has yet to be confirmed, Trattoria Cinquecento will definitely open before the end of next month. Look for a soft opening the middle of September 2012.
