I feel as if there should be a hand making a “snap” gesture after the name of this salon. What do you think?

Paris versus New York

Posted on April 25, 2012 | 1 comment

Last weekend when I was over at Frenchie and the Yankee house dinner party I happened to notice this book. Graphic designer, Vharam Muratyan, playfully pits Paris and New York in a visual homage in page after page of images that offers a bit of whimsy and humor.

I loved this particular comparison. Like? You may buy Paris versus New York on Amazon, here.

Line Posters is an interesting collaboration between a graphic designer and an engineer. The designs are described as “modern graphic interpretations of popular city transit systems.” Are you new to a city, missing your home or want something to remind you of a favorite destination? Check out their designs. I thought the concept and execution was pretty cool.

Suddenly it makes sense

Posted on April 24, 2012 | 2 comments

A couple of weeks ago I included a post by the same name referring to soccer and then last week I included one referencing football. Thanks to David over at WGB, I’ve now seen the light and suddenly have a profound appreciation for wrestling.

The Urban Grape South End?

Posted on April 23, 2012 | 1 comment

Rumor has it a popular wine shop in Chestnut Hill will petition the city to open in available retail space in the South End’s, trendy Bryant Residences at 303 Columbus Avenue.

Of course this is subject to receiving approval from the licensing board and contingent upon support from the community and surrounding neighbors, but with the closest wine shops blocks away lets hope both the licensing board and neighborhood associations will welcome them.

Proposed Hours

M-W 9:30am to 9:30pm

Th-Sat 930am to 11pm

Sun 12pm-6pm

When the Urban Grape South End would open is unclear since there are no signs of construction in the 2,200 square feet space.

Men of Twitter

Posted on April 23, 2012 | 2 comments

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome. If you’d like to follow me on twitter, you can find me @BosGuy. Below are this week’s #MenOfTwitter.

If so inclined, leave these guys a nice comment and start following.

BenjaminGodfre – What can I say about Benjamin that he hasn’t already said about himself? If you like what you see here, check his provocative blog www.benjamingodfre.com. Although he includes video on his blog you can also follow him on YouTube or facebook. I enjoy following him on Twitter since his Tweets provide a constant update in real-time with links. Benjamin’s fans are called Benjaminions and he interacts with them via his blog, facebook and Twitter. More photos of Benjamin will be posted on his blog shortly since he spent this past weekend with celebrity and fashion photographer David Vance in Miami.

buckhollywood – Entertainment “news” programs that act as if their reporting is actually important and newsworthy drives me bonkers. I prefer my pop culture news to be served with a side of sarcasm and humor and for that reason I’m a fan of Michael Buckley and his hilarious What The Buck show on YouTube. Michael’s enthusiastic show is gayer than a pink toy poodle and for that reason incredibly entertaining. With over 50,000 Tweets, Michael’s addiction to Twitter is well documented so if you follow him – say hello. He’s quite friendly.

Lyric Stage: The Temperamentals

Posted on April 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

Last night I went to see the Lyric Stage of Boston production of The Temperamentals.

“Temperamental” was code for “homosexual” in the early 1950’s and this off-Broadway play revolves around Harry Hay, his lover, Rudi Gernreich, a Viennese refugee and designer, and the men who first came together to build the first gay rights organization in the United States. Do you know your gay history? Did you think it started at Stonewall? Think again, The Temperamentals is a powerful story about the birth of the LGBT movement in the US>

The Temperamentals closes this Saturday (April 28th) so hurry and buy your tickets if you are interested in seeing this show. Tickets can be purchased online here.

Optimism: The secret to a healthier you

Posted on April 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

Huffington Post had an interesting although not surprising article last week that points to a recent study which show an optimistic outlook may keep you healthy. Specifically, it says “positive psychological well-being, which includes things like happiness, life satisfaction and especially optimism may help protect against heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems“.

The study had a number of findings some of which I thought interesting. For example, people who are happier and more optimistic are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors like better eating habits, engaging in physical activity and getting a good night’s rest.

With so many things beyond our control when it comes to our health, I think its great to know that having an optimistic outlook may also be good medicine. Just to play it safe, in addition to asking everyone to try and remain more optimistic, I’d like to prescribe 2-3 minutes each day of a good belly laugh. I’ll do my best in future posts to help give your laugh lines a work out.

Dinner party at “Frenchie and the Yankee”

Posted on April 21, 2012 | 2 comments

Last night Sergio and I went to a dinner party hosted by a friend and blogger of the gorgeous blog, Frenchie and the Yankee. The name of the blog refers to the writer who is originally from France and his partner who is of solid Midwestern stock.

We first met at a mutual friend’s birthday party last fall and shortly after started bumping into each other around the neighborhood (notably at Melanie’s killer abs class at Boston Sports Club South End).

Anyone who is familiar with Frenchie and the Yankee blog knows David has an exceptional eye and marries many of his posts with beautiful images of food he cooks / bakes. Having now sampled his cooking firsthand, I can assure you it is as delicious as it looks. The dinner party was such a wonderful start to our weekend, and I wanted to post a quick thank you to both David (a.k.a. “Frenchie”) and Mark (a.k.a. “the Yankee”) for inviting us to their home.

Scott Herman

Posted on April 21, 2012 | 1 comment

Love this Scott Herman video shooting for COMPETE Magazine. Not only is Scott Herman easy on the eyes, he’s a huge ally for the LGBT community and a native New Englander as you’ll see from the shout out Herman gives the Granite State at the start of the video.
