Men in kilts are damned sexy and everyone knows it. Just as every man looks like he’s a bit taller and has broader shoulders when they slip into a tuxedo, there is something incredibly masculine about a man wearing this traditional Scottish garb and Cirque du Soleil knows it.
Cirque du Soleil recently released this behind the scenes video entitled “Scottish Fantasy” to promote their show Zumanity in Las Vegas. If you’ve not seen the clip, feel free to check it out below.
This week’s Furry Friday submission came from an earlier post from the Kenneth in the 212 blog. Hope this warms you if its chilly where you are.
Those crazy kids over at The Welcoming Committee (yes the very same group behind Guerrilla Queer Bar) is planning to take over an event at BoConcept in Cambridge next Wednesday, January 16.
According to the registration site TWC is bringing together cocktails, a bunch of gays and author Alex Stone who will discuss his new book Fooling Houdini: Magicians, Mentalists, Math Geeks and the Hidden Powers of the Mind. Curious? There is a small registration fee. Read more about the author, the evening event and then register for this event here.
When I was growing up, Army commercials said “We do more before 9 a.m. than most people do all day.” If I’d seen images like this when military recruiters came to our school I might have been more receptive.
Rumors are swirling that the popular fetish / gay bar will re-open this summer not far from its original home in Cambridge. Cambridge Day reported the rumors earlier this week and the news was quickly picked up by Boston Restaurant Talk and the Boston Hospitality blog.
Cambridge Day reports in their post on January 8th, “Man Ray owner Don Holland never stopped trying to resurrect the famed Central Square nightclub. Under threat of losing his restaurant and alcohol license, he said Tuesday that he believed he’s succeeded. The location: Central Square’s former Blockbuster video, a 5,000-square-foot space at 541 Massachusetts Ave.”
I met my partner on one of the gay nights at ManRay (a fetish bar), which was called “Campus” on Thursdays and Saturdays when the crowd was mostly gay. I loved the whole layout with the lounge that had pool tables, the backroom dance floor which would play music from bands like Siouxsie and The Banshees, Depeche Mode and XTC and the main dance floor in the front where DJs would mix the latest pop and dance hits. I was so sad when I heard the bar closed because the landlord sold the property to be made into condos.
I’ll be keeping tabs on the nightclub’s website, www.manrayclub.com.
Funny with a name like Sheriff Woody, I always assumed Buzz Light Year was the bottom. Just goes to show you that one should never assume.

An article in The Boston Globe yesterday mentioned that a particular excerpt from Massachusetts landmark decision in Goodridge vs. Department of Public Health continues to be a popular reading at same sex marriages all over the US.
After reading the article in the Boston Globe I can see why it has remained so popular with civil marriages for same sex partners. I’ve taken the text from the image above and added it below to make it easier for you to read.
“Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family… Because it fulfills yearnings for security, safe haven, and connection that express our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life’s momentous acts of self-definition.”
– Chief Justice Marshall, November 2003
Blogger, Ajax in the City posted this abdominal work out video from the 80’s on his blog. I keep expecting Olivia Newton John to come walking out singing “Physical”. The entire clip is totally ridiculous, but I couldn’t help but watch it all the way through. I should ask my personal trainer for his thoughts. 😉
Are you like me and do you still like to have a calendar that resides outside of a phone, tablet or computer? Perhaps you are also like me and have yet to purchase a 2013 calendar.
Super sexy Aussie model, Daniel Garofali, has a calendar that is sure to please. You may purchase it online here. 50% of the profits from sales of this calendar go to Kiva.org, a non-profit that is working to end poverty.
The 2012 – 2013 calendar comes with many seductive photos of Daniel, but before you buy you may want to check out the calendar and DVD teaser as well as the calendar and DVD teaser part II on YouTube. Again, you may purchase it online here. People are also more than welcome to send me photos of Daniel, whom I find wicked gawjus.
It is chilly here in Boston with temperatures already below freezing so it is time to break out your long johns.
I know that many of my readers insist they prefer to sleep au naturale, but I find that incredibly impractical at this time of year in Boston where night time temperatures are freezing.
So grab your long johns or better yet, grab yourself a guy in his long johns. This guy looks like he’d do just fine. Have a good night all.
I swiped today’s Furry Friday post from fellow blogger and friend, David, at Wicked Gay Blog. Simply put, I like everything about this guy. How about you… think he’s Furry Friday worthy?
Guerrilla Queer Bar (GQB), that underground group of LGBT men and women in Boston who “take over” a traditionally straight venue the first Friday of each month have set their sites on Estate for the first Friday night of 2013. No plans? Check it out.
Estate 1 Boylston Place – 9PM til ???
Unfamiliar or never been to a GQB event before? It is a friendly group of men and women so don’t be bashful. Look for one or both of these Mo-licious members Ashley and Dan. They are wicked friendly.
Hunter College in New York collected data in 2010 from nearly 500 gay and bisexual men and the findings of their report will be published in the February 2013 issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
The study asked gay and bisexual men if “the comfort and fit of a condom has an impact on them having safer sex.” The study concluded the larger the man’s penis size, the higher the rate of condom failure, and the more likely he was to forgo condom usage. Most gay clubs / bars in the US already make condoms available for free, but the study suggests taking an additional step of including larger sized condoms to help encourage safer sex.
A new study from Hunter College’s Center for HIV Educational Studies and Training determined there is a correlation between the size of a gay man’s penis and the likelihood he’ll use a condom.
More findings from this self-reported study included:
• Nearly 50% of men reported condom slippage during sex.
• Almost 33% reported condom breakage in the past 3 months.
• 40% reported that they did not have a problem finding condoms that fit properly.
I thought Meryl Shcenker’s photos of Randell Shepherd, 48 and Larry Duncan, 56 in Washington State getting married was one of the most touching images of 2012.
I suppose our personal bias makes us see what we want, but I can’t think of a more compelling / touching image that explains why I believe the right to marry who you love is a basic civil right.
Equally touching was the photo of the happy couple arriving at the Seattle First Baptist Church to be married in a group ceremony with 24 other couples; photo also by Meryl Schenker

Winter in Boston can be tough. Aside from the cold and early setting sun, there is virtually no color and the city can seem shrouded in shades of white, grey (and if lucky) blue.
So this post is dedicated to readers in colder climates to help fend off the winter blues. I think you’ll agree that inserting this bit of color brightens your day.
