Vintage gay

I have no idea what is going on in this photo. I assume the photo dates back to the 1950s based on the pegged pants on the guy at the bottom of the photo and hairstyles, but I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks to @oldmasc for the photo.

I’ve posted the undoctored version of this photo this morning on my Twitter account, @BosGuy (and no you don’t need to have Twitter to see someone’s posts).

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.

Men in kilts

Much thanks to longtime reader and avid commenter, Angel, for sharing this photo for the weekly men in kilts post. I’m not normally a fan of boxing, but think I’d be curious to see what happens next.

Monday morning mancandy

May the photo of these two gorgeous guys distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.

Scruffy Sunday

Felix and Ferdinand are a flirtatious couple who have been together for more than 15 years. They post frequently on Instagram. This is their account photo, which I think makes for an ideal Scruffy Sunday post. If you have an Instagram account, say hello and follow them at, @felixandferdinand.

Saturday morning coffee

Chef Ronnie Woo

This week’s post is a playful photo of chef Ronnie Woo enjoying his morning coffee.

Furry Friday

I recently got a request to feature some more mature men. Hope this works for you. This guy is definitely Furry Friday worthy. Don’t you think?

Cabin fever setting in?

March can be a tough month in New England. The winters are long and cabin-fever starts to set in (big time), so I wanted to give a shout out to several events that Sergio and I have either attended or are planning to attend later this month.

If you have an event you’ve attended or are looking forward to attending later this month, please share it in the comments section.

Imagine Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition

Imagine Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition closes March 19, 2022

Located at the SoWa Power Station. This exhibit first opened in December and will wrap close on March 19th. Sergio and I went to this in December and really enjoyed ourselves. It makes for a great date night option. I’d recommend grabbing a drink or dinner (or both) nearby after you go. More info here.

What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me closes March 20, 2022

Sergio was not pleased when I told him we would be going to this play at the Emerson Majestic Theater. His response, “I hate political plays”. Fast forward 90-minutes later and Sergio was one of the first people to jump up from his seat to cheering and applauding Cassie Beck with tears in his eyes. I was blown away and wish everyone would see this show. Who knew Constitutional history was so fascinating and funny? More info here.

The Art of Banksy

The Art of Banksy closes April 30, 2022

This exhibit which opened last month in Harvard Square runs through April and is really amazing. It includes approximately 100 pieces by the mysterious / notorious artist. While Sergio was not familiar with the name Banksy, he did recognize some of his more iconic images. The exhibit has a fun wall of reproductions at the end for fun interactive selfies with his artwork. More info here.

ChoreograpHER

Boston Ballet ChoreograpHER, March 3 – 13, 2022

I am excited to see this ballet of five ChoreograpHERs, five voices, five world premieres. This female-led program celebrates the innovative talent of women including New York City Ballet Principal Dancer and choreographer, Tiler Peck. More info here.

Coco Peru is Bitter Bothered & Beyond

Miss Coco Peru March 25-26, 2022

Sergio and I have convinced a few friends to join us for Coco’s show on Friday evening at Club Cafe and I’m very excited. Coco never disappoints and is always entertaining. I understand the Friday show is now sold out but a few tickets may be available for her Saturday performance. More info here.

Battle of the Ballads tickets are now on sale

Tickets for the Imperial Court of Massachusetts second annual “Battle of the Ballads” hosted by the fabulous, Verna Turbulence and Kris Knievel go on sales today.

Battle of the Ballads
Sunday, April 3rd @1PM at Club Cafe
Click for more information & tickets

Tickets to this year’s competition are $20 online and $25 at the door (if tickets remain available).

This fun event also helps do good. 50% of proceeds will go to the charity of the winner’s choosing and the remaining 50% will go to benefit The Joyful Heart Foundation, a national organization dedicated to transforming society’s response to sexual assualt, domestic violence and child abuse – as well as supporting survivors.

Coco Peru returns to Club Cafe

One of my favorite drag personalities is returning to Boston for two shows at Club Cafe. Miss Coco Peru’s show, Bitter, Bothered & Beyond, is certain to be hilarious and will certainly sell out in a hurry so talk to your friends, make plans and get your tickets which are currently on sale.
