The return of Frenchie and the Yankee

Frenchie, Yankee and BosGuy

Frenchie – BosGuy – Yankee in March 2016 – Charlotte, NC

One half of an amazing couple has arrived back in Boston today with the other flying back on Friday night.  When our friends moved away from Boston a couple of years ago Sergio and I practically wept. Not only are they dear friends who we love, but they are a culinary super couple who hosted dinner parties that foodies only dare to dream about.

I have a special blind tasting prepared for their return on Saturday morning and I’m also looking forward to bringing Frenchie and The Yankee to Boston’s new Public Market which they’ve yet to visit.  If you love stunning photography and food check out the blog in my blogroll or by selecting the link in this post.

Hooked: A new film about LGBT homeless youth

Last week I posted a video of Max Emerson – actor, writer, director and (my favorite) underwear model – doing an ab work out in the buff (watch it here).

You could say he was showing off his assets to raise money for a film called, Hooked, that focuses on LGBT homeless youth.   I’ve just made a personal donation of $50 to show my support for this project and I know it would mean the world to Max if you would help spread the word and provide a small donation too.

The IndieGoGo campaign has about one month left to raise money. You can learn more about Hooked, by visiting the project’s IndieGoGo campaign HERE.

Last year’s event took place in the South End but this year the event moves to the Fenway on Lansdowne Street. For more information visit illuminusboston.org.

Max Emerson in the buff on Hashtag Living

Hashtag Living, Max Emerson, Baker MachadoUnderwear model Max Emerson joined host Baker Machado in an episode of Hashtag Living, a show that talks to stars and how they use social media.  Watch the handsome model/actor, Max Emerson, demonstrate an ab work out in the buff. Never has an abs exercise seemed more tantalizing.

After you watch the clip perhaps you’ll want to help him with his kickstarter campaign to help end LGBT homeless youth, here.

Controversy presents Janet Jackson tribute – Saturday, Oct 3rd

Nathanael Bluhm, Machine BostonJANET JACKSON Tribute Night: A Grown & Sexy Affair

Looking for something fun to do tonight? Check out Controversy upstairs at Machine in the Fenway.  The evening will include a loving tribute to Ms. Jackson by Teashaboo, Endego & Karizma, while one of my favorite DJs, Begbick, plays from Janet’s impressive catalog of music.

While there is no dress code, grown and sexy attire is strongly suggested. The Facebook event page asks “come dressed for our red carpet photo booth.” and all club kids know you always do as the DJ asks.

Upstairs at Machine | 1254 Boylston St. in the Fenway | 10pm – 2am

Just to get you in the mood, I’ve included one of my all time favorite songs from Ms. Jackson. This late 80s hit seems appropriate considering her absence from the public. Welcome back Janet – I’ve missed you too.
