Swimsuit preferences
Summer in New England means long sunny and humid days, which is why Boston can feel all but abandoned as residents flee to the islands, Cape Cod, Newport and the coast of Maine. What all of these destinations share are great beaches which means many of you are probably shopping for a bathing suit.
I thought I’d share my two cents on different bathing suit styles and include links to some brands you may want to check out.
Swim Trunks or Shorts (not to be confused with the much longer inseam of the surf-inspired Board Shorts) is not that popular with most of my friends but is a cut I feel comfortable wearing. The cut can range anywhere from the mid thigh to just above the knee. I like the versatility of these cuts, and how forgiving they can be if your stomach happens to be more curved than flat.
Square Cut Trunks are also another personal favorite cut which I think is flattering for most body types. I think these are also great because your tan line won’t be seen when you walk around town wearing shorts.
Briefs a.k.a. Speedos are the skimpiest of cuts and very popular, although I have never been comfortable wearing this cut unless swimming competitively. Having said that, I am a big fan of other people wearing this cut.
Shopping for a bathing suit? Check out these brands which aggressively market themselves to the gay community.

I’m not sure if it is the model or stripes but this week’s post makes me dizzy.
Modus Vivendi Glamour Line
Just in time for the holiday season, Modus Vivendi has released their Glamour Line inspired by the Glam rock style invented in the 70s in the UK. Regardless of the inspiration, the collection contains so many sequins you can make the case that they are festive enough to wear at December’s Underbear party at The Alley.
While the Glamour tanktop and low cut brief shown above aren’t my personal style, a magician on the next Atlantis Cruise or their ‘helper’ might love it.
My aesthetic runs more to the Modus Vivendi Dali line (specifically their boxers) shown below. BTW, I’m a medium – just in case you wanted to send me a pair. I prefer strong graphic prints to sequins for my underwear.

To paraphrase ZZ Top’s 80s hit, every guy is crazy about a sharp dressed man. My guess is that only a few of you may know the song I’m referring to but you’re likely to agree with the sentiments based on the example above.

In honor of Father’s Day which was yesterday here in the U.S. I thought I’d share a photo of David Gandy in a leather belted kilt.

What is that bushy thing that he is wearing called and what is its purpose? I see these in a lot of the kilt photos I collect but I have no idea what they are.

I’m unsure what it is about the kilt but gay men have an affinity for this article of clothing so at the start of this year created a new weekly post showcasing men in kilts. This week’s post should be called “Blue Boy”.
Diesel’s ad campaign: Make love not walls
Have you seen Diesel’s new ad campaign, Make Love Not Walls? The campaign launched on Valentine’s Day is all about tearing down the mental and physical walls that separate us so we can come together in the name of unity and love. Much thanks to Sergio for sharing this with me.
