Monday morning mancandy

I’m a big fan of Joel Green, a personal trainer and model, who seems to always be on the move, traveling the world. If you’re unfamiliar with Joel, check out his Instagram account here.

Scruffy Sunday

A couple of weeks ago I posted a photo of Alexander “Lex” Abramov and apparently a number of you missed seeing him on this blog as much as I did so I’m following up with another photograph. He recently started posting on Instagram again, here.

Boston is the most coffee-filled city in U.S.

While Seattle has a well-deserved reputation as a city obsessed with coffee, a recent survey has found that Boston has more coffee shops per capita than any other city in the United States. The city has 61 coffee shops per every 100,000 residents; roughly 3x more than the average city in the United States.

The top 5 coffee cities (number of shops per 100,000 residents) are:

1 Boston
2 Washington DC
3 Seattle
4 San Francisco
5 New Orleans

There are more statistics for all you coffee lovers or if you want to see where your city ranks in terms of most and least expensive cities to grab a cup of joe, overall best coffee cities, and more that you can read here.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: I am a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I am a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I am an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I am a type of music. What am I?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Vintage gay

As you can see, I’m mixing things up a bit with this week’s Vintage Gay post. I follow an art blog (you can see it in my blogroll) called ultrawolvesunderthefullmoon and the artwork of this Japanese artist caught my attention. In the images above and below I see gay men from the 1980s. Their clothing, preppy haircuts, and cleancut look scream 1980s to me.

Ben Kimura (木村べん) b. 1947 – d. 2003 was a Japanese gay erotic artist who along with George Takeuchi and Sadao Hasegawa, is noted as a central figure in the second wave of contemporary gay artists that emerged in Japan in the 1970s.

You can learn more about this artist and see some more of his work here.

Happy Halloween

It’ll be more chilly than we are accustomed to here in Boston for the neighborhood trick-or-treating, but I have no doubt that everyone will have a lot of fun. Here are several photos from Halloween festivities in my neighborhood several years ago.

Knowing my readership, many are likely to prefer tricks over treats so I’ll simply wish you all a safe and fun Halloween, and I hope it is filled with plenty of both.

Monday morning mancandy

It is the day before Halloween, so consider this week’s Mancandy post an early treat. For those of you who may be wondering, this is Bruno Duarte Vincent. Bruno appeared on Season 5 of the reality TV show Below Deck. He has a rather explicit Twitter account here.
