“Fashionista”
Hard to believe that it was 15 years ago that the movie Mean Girls came out and I’m still quoting it regularly. May your Tuesday pass quickly and remember to find something pink to wear tomorrow.

A 31-room hotel, restaurant and bar with outdoor dining, and four condominiums was presented last month to the Provincetown planning and zoning boards with the intention to redevelop the Old Reliable Fish House property on the waterfront at 229R Commercial Street.
The Old Reliable was a popular place to eat in Provincetown in the 1970s and through the 1990s the waterfront restaurant offered cozy dining on the beach but the restaurant has now been closed for years and the building has fallen into severe disrepair and was condemned in 2015 following a fire. You can read more about this interesting real estate development in the heart of Ptown in The Provincetown Independent and you can learn more about the history of 229R Commercial Street (and see some great photos of the property), here.

The former home to Sister Sorel reopened this past Wednesday as Le Canular, the South End’s newest wine bar. According to the article in Boston Magazine the wines will all be priced at $13 and there will be a limited menu that you can check out Wednesday through Saturday from 6 p.m.-midnight.
I’m happy to see the space reopen and wish Maslow and his team much luck. While I’ve enjoyed the food at its neighboring Whaling in Oklahoma, I still can’t shake the feeling that I’m sitting in Tremont 647. I hope the transformation from Sister Sorel to Le Canular is more successful.
This guy looks incredibly relaxed. He’s just missing a strong cup of coffee.
I’m at a loss for words with this week’s post. This guy looks even more tempting than a morning cup of coffee.

Community Marketing Insights 23rd Annual LGBT Travel survey is live and they are looking for members of the LGBT community to share with them your travel preferences. The survey will remain open through Sunday, November 10th.
Your responses are anonymous and aggregated to better understand LGBT traveler trends and preferences. The organizers say that the survey will take approximately 10-12 minutes but it took me even less time.
About CMI: In 1992, Thomas Roth and David Paisley conceived of the idea of forming a marketing research company to help companies and brands better understand the emerging LGBTQ community and include it as a viable market segment. More than 25 years later, CMI is no the world’s leading and most-respected LGBTQ research firm.
Do you recognize this photograph? Aaron Fricke (left) made history when he filed suit in U.S. District court after his high school in Pawtucket, RI told him he could not bring his date, Paul Guilbert (right) to his prom in 1980 in the court case, Fricke v. Lynch. For those who are interested in learning more about this ballsy teenager who challenged the status quo you can read his autobiography Reflections of a Rock Lobster in which he details growing up gay culminating at that high school dance. Read more about it here.
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.
