I swiped this photo from Instagram. It was taken in Provincetown this past summer by @bearinabeecostume during the Mr. New England Leather Weekend in November.

Vintage gay

What a lovely intimate photograph of two men relaxing quietly together in the sun. This is something I’d love to be doing with Sergio but the winters in New England are long and unless we hop on a plane, it will be several months before we can do this here in Boston.

Casa Giacomo’s in the South End opens today

Last spring, after 27 years in business, owner Jackie Taglieri sold Giacomo’s South End. The space closed for renovations shortly after that and has been closed since. On Christmas the new owners announced on Instagram (here) that Casa Giacomo’s would be opening soon but were vague about when.

Last night I was told Casa Giacomo’s will have a soft opening tonight. Initially, the restaurant will only be accepting walk-ins for dinner. The new owners are the team behind the much loved Kava Neo Taverna and Ilona, so I’m very excited to see how they have updated this neighborhood restauarant and what touches they have added to make it their own. Casa Giacomo’s is open daily (starting today) at 5:00 PM.

Caption this photo

This weekly post would hardly last a month if it weren’t for the many odd and awkward sporting photos that have been contributed over the years. Much thanks to Mike from NY for sharing this week’s photo.

Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below inspires you to offer up one or two of your own. Leave a funny caption in the comment section, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.

Here, let me get this for you. That’s much better.

Temptation Tuesday

Christmas colors

Tis the season for silver and gold so I thought I’d oblige with a Temptation Tuesday take on the holiday colors.

Monday morning mancandy

This isn’t a typical Monday morning and many of you will have the day off but for those of you who have to get up and go to work this morning, I dedicate this post to you. I hope this man’s beautiful eyes can distract you from the fact that you have to go to work.

Scruffy Sunday

Steve Grand, Christmas

Here is a throwback to Steve Grand’s 2015 Christmas version of All I Want For Christmas. It makes for a great Christmas-themed scruffy Sunday. For everyone celebrating the holiday, I hope you have a wonderful day.
