Monday morning mancandy

Say good morning to Daniel Ashton Johnson. The former wrestler turned model about a decade ago makes for an ideal Monday morning mancandy post, don’t you agree?

Saturday morning coffee

Anyone else more than a little concerned about this guy burning his bits if the coffee in that mug is still hot?

What to do this weekend

Work has me traveling and gave me no time to pull together the LGBTQ+ programming I normally share in this weekly post, but KikiPedia has you covered. Check out their website to find out what’s happening this weekend and have fun.

Vintage gay

Long time reader and avid commentor, Angel, from Asturias Spain shared this with me a few months ago and I thought it was the perfect post to share this week since tomorrow will be Veteran’s Day in the U.S. This image comes from Michael Stokes 2020 picture book, My Naked Soldier, which was inspired by an even earlier book by Stokes called My Buddy.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Temptation Tuesday

Say hello to the Miami-based, Haitian-American fitness model, Pierre Vuala. I first featured him as a Mancandy Monday post last month and he was so popular, I thought I’d share another photo of Pierre. You can check out more of him on IG, here.

Yup, it’s Monday again.

New monthly Queer Book Club opens

The Brookline Booksmith in Coolidge Corner has recently undergone a significant expansion, giving them more space for more inventory and more programming like their new monthly Queer Book Club which begins this month on Monday.

The Brookline Booksmith Queer Book Club is a monthly book discussion group focusing on queer authors and stories. Each month the club will meet to discuss books from a broad spectrum of writing genres, styles, and authorship. One needtn’t identfiy as queer to attend – all are welcome to attend, and no registration is needed.

The newly formed club will meet in person at Brookline Booksmith on the first Monday of every month at 7pm. Their first meeting, will discuss Andrea Lawlor’s Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, is tomorrow, Monday, 11/7 at 7pm.
