Vintage gay
Much thanks to Tennessee Tony for sharing this week’s vintage gay photo. These two look like school boys to me. What do you think? I’d love to know what their story is. They are clearly close – look at how they touch from their shoulders to their feet. Anyone have a clue when this picture may have been taken?
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
It is the height of summer here in Boston so this gentleman is overdressed for the summer, but I thought he looked so dapper that it was worth taking a break from all the shirtless photos to share.
Monday morning mancandy
This week I thought I’d share this photo of Alex Lederman. Alex is a dad and farmer who lives in Western Mass. He also has done a bit of modeling back in the day. This is an older photo of Alex. You can also follow him on Instagram.

Saturday morning coffee
Everyone say hello to Diego Rodriguez Doig. I featured him as a Temptation Tuesday back in June and he proved to be quite popular so I thought I’d share these playful photos of the handsome model / travel blogger.

Vintage gay
This week’s photo comes from the blog homohistory.com. No information was provided about where or when this picture was taken but these two men photographed in an embrace look to be possibly from the 1940s. Can anyone shed some light on the photo?

Men in kilts
It is Bear Week in Provincetown so I’m sharing this picture of two bears roaming through the forest. I’m partial to the plaid kilt. The green kilt looked like a terry cloth towel until I zoomed.
Monday morning mancandy
May this week’s post distract you from the fact that it is a Monday morning.
Boston hotel spotlight: The Langham
I’ve written a four-part series featuring different luxury hotels in Boston for gay travelers who may be visiting the area. These articles are also for locals who may want to pamper themselves with a posh stay-cation and even for those who may never spend a night but would like to treat themselves to hotel services and or dining. We can all do with a little pampering and these hotels are ready, willing and more than able to help you feel special.
lux·u·ry ˈləɡZH(ə)rē/
noun: the state of great comfort and extravagant living.
Luxury hotels in Boston for gay travelers
Over the past few years several luxury brand hotels in Boston have opened and / or undergone significant renovations and are now open for business – like the Langham Boston Hotel. Even if you don’t have the budget to fully experience the ammenities, it is possible to experience luxury in doses.
The Langham, Boston Hotel’s address in Post Office Square has made it a favorite property for business travelers, but the hotel’s convenient location to many points of interest make it an ideal property for visitors coming to Boston for fun. The building first opened in 1922 as the Federal Reserve Bank and was declared an historical landmark in 1978. The granite building was inspired by the Palazzo della Cancelleria, in Rome and is considered an excellent example of Renaissance Revival architecture.
The 300+ room hotel closed in April 2019 to undergo a significant renovation that cost more than $150 million and reopened in June 2021. According to The Boston Globe, the hotel’s billionaire chairman, Lo Ka Shui, incorporated his collection in the Boston property along with a number of commissioned pieces specifically for this hotel from the Copley Society of Art.
Langham Boston Hotel dining and things to do
If you’re unlikely to book a room in this beautifully renovated Boston hotel, there remain several ways to appreciate this property. As part of the renovation, a new Italian restaurant called Grana, and a London-inspired cocktail pub called The Fed (which has an outdoor terrace) will open shortly after the hotel’s reopening I’m especially intrigued by The Fed because there are so few pubs and bars with outdoor space in the Financial District.
For many gay travelers who plan on visiting Provincetown, The Langham might be a good choice. It is a 10-minute walk to either ferry service company or an easy ride from a taxi or Uber driver. Additionally, the hotel is close to points of interest, including the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall as well as Beacon Hill and the North End.

Scruffy Sunday
Bear Week 2021 officially started yesterday in Provincetown so I thought I’d post this photo of a muscle bear for this week’s Scruffy Sunday. If you’re down in Ptown this week, have fun.
