Shower serenade: Blame it on the Bossa Nova
While all of us sing in the shower, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a music video that takes place in one. Much thanks to Matthew Rettenmund for sharing this on his boyculture blog. I figured this would be a nice post to end the work week as many of us get ready for what looks to be a beautiful summer weekend. For those of you heading to Provincetown for Independence Week have fun.
Furry Friday
This guy is the perfect mix of handsome, sexy and cute. I bet Moms love him and boyfriends need to stay well hydrated.
What to do this weekend
Independence Week opens in Provincetown with the Independence 2018 Opening Night party on Friday. The weekend forecast calls for plenty of sun so if you’re not heading to the Cape you may want to consider a day trip to Ogunquit or if you want to stay closer to home, join Sergio and me this Saturday at Kiki Beach.
Saturday night the city will have fireworks over Boston harbor, starting at 9PM to celebrate summer. There are also several outdoor movies playing for free in Boston this weekend, including Saving Private Ryan and Jaws (both playing at Lawn on D) and Grease at Rowes Wharf. Whatever you do, make the most of your time and enjoy the great weather. Hopefully Sergio and I will see you out and about.

Vintage gay
What a handsome and happy photo. Any thoughts on when this may have been taken? I’m going to guess late 70s with all that wavy hair action.
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.
Tennis player Borna Coric is easy on the eyes
Many of you are unlikely to know who Borna Coric is but this past weekend he upset Roger Federer on grass at the Gerry Weber Open in Germany. With that win, the 21 year old Croat saw his ranking jump to just outside the top 20 (ATP ranking 21). His victory over Federer is all the more impressive when you realize that this is only his second title and his first on grass.
The fact that Borna Coric is so easy on the eyes will only continue to endear him to me. I hope that his recent victory over Roger Federer in Germany provides him with the confidence he will need to have a good run at Wimbledon, which officially starts next week on July 2nd. Until that time enjoy these photos of the handsome 21 year old. 
You can bet, I’ll be writing about this guy again. Especially if he keeps winning.
This week on Instagram: mattanham
Back in April Matthew was featured in my weekly Temptation Tuesday post and one of my readers (thanks Ed!) shared a little more information about him. For those of you who think he is handsome or may want to learn more, I’d suggest you follow his Instagram account.
Matthew lives with his Canadian boyfriend, Mitch, and cat, Ninja, in Sydney.

“Kiki Beach show and tell“
Petition to stop Starbucks from opening in the North End
While I sympathize with the North End and understand their concerns, I don’t know that they can prevent a national chain like Starbucks from opening, but I thought I’d share this video. I hope that if Starbucks does eventually open, local opposition remains and the public continues to support one of the existing family-owned coffee shops and cafes in the North End.
I loved this quote from the video, “We don’t need a company such as them showing the people what it’s not like to be Italian,” says an employee at the Modern bakery.
Temptation Tuesday
Although I’ve featured the handsome Brazilian model of Thiago Zanini before, far be it from me to decline a request from my friend @justgingr who shared this photo with me last month. He makes for the perfect Temptation Tuesday.
