Vintage gay
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.
This week on Instagram: dancingkane
This week I’m featuring the Instagram account of Chris Kane. The photo above was to promote last year’s Broadway Bares which raises money for the charity Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.
I was first made aware of Chris’ account through a mutual friend, Brian M. and I think for anyone who likes Broadway, following Chris would be a real treat. At the moment Chris is the Assistant Choreographer/Dance Captain/Swing for the US National Tour of Kinky Boots so there are lots of photos of Chris as he tours the U.S. With just under 3,000 Instagram followers, I’m assuming this Instagram account is one flying under your radar so check it out and follow him.

“Just because they make it in your size doesn’t mean you should wear it”
Thank you JJ suspenders
While the photo above is not from JJ Suspenders, I figured such a dapper image might give you pause to take a closer look at this post which is really my way of saying “Thank You” to JJ Suspenders.
Below you can see the surprise gift that was mailed to me last week. While I don’t have any pants that have suspender buttons sewn into them, Sergio does and this will look fantastic on him. If you don’t own suspenders, check out JJ Suspenders’ “Style Guide” on everything from selecting the right size to choosing the best form and style for your personality.
JJ Suspenders come in a variety of styles and colors and are available for purchase online with free shipping available for orders of $50 or more.
