Posted on August 23, 2016 | 1 comment

Provincetown, PtownMuch thanks for everyone’s patience with me posting this year’s video. It took us a couple days to decompress after so much fun in Provincetown.

I’d also like to thank Sergio for all his help before, during and after Carnival as well as my friend Kyle Szary who shared many of his excellent photos for this video. Lastly, thank you to everyone who was nice enough to pose and emailed me their group photographs.

We look forward to seeing everyone next year when Provincetown Carnival’s theme will be Gods & Goddesses.

2016 Carnival in Provincetown begins

Posted on August 13, 2016 | Leave a comment

For those of you who are not familiar with Provincetown’s annual Carnival Week, I’ve reposted a video of images from last year’s celebration. The 2015 theme was Candy Land. This year’s theme of Back to the 80s will hopefully live up to all the crazy and creative outfits from last year.  Either way Sergio and I will be there snapping photos. Thank you in advance for posing for us.

Do you plan on taking pictures? I would potentially like to include some of your favorite photos and will credit you on my blog. Let me know if you are interested by emailing me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Australian’s hilarious review of Olympic divers

Posted on August 12, 2016 | 1 comment

Note that if you are in an office or around children there is a fair amount of swearing, but this is absolutely hilarious and I thought worth sharing.

Versace Dylan Blue campaign by Bruce Weber

Posted on August 6, 2016 | 1 comment

Versace by Bruce Weber

Bruce Weber has created a sexually charged video for Versace’s Dylan Blue Pour Homme like only he can. The campaign, stars Gigi Hadid and Trevor Signorino. Gigi is joined by six male models wrestling, fight club style, as well as a same sex kiss or two, using the ‘mean streets’ of NYC as a backdrop.

Weber also shows off Trevor (shown above) selling ice cream on the beach of the Jersey Shore. Watching the film I could hear Cazwell’s club hit Meet Me At The Ice Cream Truck.  Like what you see? Look for more to come because word is that Bruce Weber has also shot the Autumn Winter campaign for Dylan Blue.

Meanwhile at M Street Beach this week

Posted on August 1, 2016 | Leave a comment

gays in southie, Kiki BeachLoving this Instagram clip from M Street Beach this past weekend. I couldn’t seem to post the video successfully so you can link here to see it.

In case you missed it, each Saturday a lot of guys are spending their Saturdays near the midpoint of M Street Beach. Between the throngs of bros and the women they are vainly trying to impress is a sea of gays that is most easily found by following the disco music.

Sound like fun? Read more about Saturdays at M Street Beach, Boston.

HBO’s Looking finale is Saturday, July 23rd

Looking: The Movie (2016)

Last month I wrote about HBO’s finale to the short lived gay drama, Looking. Tomorrow, Saturday, July 23rd the movie will premiere and for those of you who were a fan of the series (like yours truly), I wanted to remind you to set your DVRs to record.  I’m curious to see how HBO ties up the loose ends and what happens with the characters.

What we know based on what HBO has shared to date in their movie trailer is that Patrick returns to San Francisco to attend a friend’s wedding after having moved away. When he sees his former boyfriends old feelings emerge and the closure he thought he had now doesn’t seem so clear. For those unfamiliar with the series that lasted for two seasons, below is one of the teasers HBO shared to promote the first season (BTW both seasons are on demand if you have HBO).

The RNC is like Christmas in July

Posted on July 21, 2016 | Leave a comment

The RNC is like christmas in july Stephen ColbertEarlier this week Stephen Colbert opened his show with this Broadway-inspired number, “The Republican National Convention is Like Christmas in July.”

It injects a lot of humor in a little more than 3 minutes and sums up how I feel so I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it.

Saturdays at M Street Beach: Kiki Beach Boston

Posted on July 18, 2016 | 1 comment

Kiki Beach on M Street BostonEvery Saturday the M Street Beach has attracted scores of gay men. This past Saturday with temperatures in the 90s, Sergio and I headed down to M Street Beach to join the fun. By 12:30 we counted about a dozen groups ranging in size from couples to much larger groups of men slowly overtaking part of the beach.

Southie has no shortage of package stores you can either stop at on your way to the beach or walk to should you run out of any essentials and most guys were quite friendly sharing what they had with anyone around. All that is missing to make this easier to spot is a gay pride flag, but if you look around carefully and listen for the club music it will only take you a few minutes to spot this group, which usually set up near the bus stop about midway down M Street Beach.

Chardonnay Go

Posted on July 17, 2016 | Leave a comment

Pokemon, Pokemon GoIf you are 30 or younger, chances are you and all of your friends have downloaded the popular game, “Pokemon Go”. According to papers that are covering the craze, it now has more downloads than the popular dating site Tinder, has surpassed Twitter in daily active users on Android devices and ranks above Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram in the Google Play store.

As a 40-something, I have no fond memories of Pokemon nor am I much of a gamer so I’ve not felt the pull of the craze gripping the nation. That is until I heard about this brilliant spoof video of Pokemon Go called Chardonnay Go, created by (and apparently for) white suburban housewives.  Too funny.

Detachable Penis by King Missile

Posted on July 9, 2016 | 1 comment

Mr Potato missing penisDo you remember this alternative rock hit by King Missile? I remember Boston radio station, 101.7 WFNX, having this in heavy rotation when it first came out in the early 90s, but I hadn’t given it much thought until I was reading Blobby’s blog last week, and I saw his accompanying photo to his post, Penis Song.

The lyrics of this song still make me laugh. The opening line is, “I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again.”  If you’ve never heard the song before I’m glad I could share it with you and if you are familiar – enjoy the throwback.

What LGBTQ hate mail feels like

Posted on July 5, 2016 | 4 comments

 While the tide of public opinion has changed in recent years, there remains a strong and vocal group who see that acceptance as a direct and personal threat to their way of life.  It is easy to disregard these groups but  that would be a mistake. Rachel Lauren Clark, a member of the Pride Toronto board, sums it up best when she says, “the worst part of hearing the hate mail read out loud wasn’t the message’s content, but the fact it is so commonplace.”

Videos like this one from Pride Toronto remind us that the discussion in the LGBT community of do we live in a post-Gay society is a bit premature.

Much thanks to JMG for sharing this.
