Orthodox Calendar 2016: Sancta Paraphilia‬

Posted on October 13, 2015 | Leave a comment

Sancta Paraphilia‬The Orthodox Calendar which first ‘came out’ in 2012  continues to get more provocative with each passing year.  Don’t be mislead by their name. The project is the brainchild of a group composed mostly of Orthodox eastern Europeans who use these provocative images to take an ironic approach to the Orthodox Church and raise awareness of homophobia; especially in the Orthodox region.

Watch the NSFW promotional video on YouTube then learn more about the project by visiting their website where they also sell all sorts of provocative items including their 2016 Orthodox Calendar, www.orthodox-calendar.com.

Eliad Cohen Temptation TuesdayThis week’s Temptation Tuesday is dedicated to Boston Dan. He recently reached out to me with this photo of Eliad Cohen, suggesting I feature him in an upcoming post. Little did he know I had the photo above scheduled to go live in a couple weeks. I couldn’t help moving a few posts to feature Eliad this week. I hope you all enjoy. Check out Dan’s suggestion in the link above too.

How to handle bigots without saying a word

Chester, England Pride Dean Paton joined a group protesting at a gay pride parade in Chester, England earlier this month with a sign of his own that was absolutely brilliant.  I saw this article in HuffingtonPost’s Gay Voices and wanted to share it with you. You can read more and watch a brief video of Paton with his sign at the parade, here.

Who makes the best croissants in Boston’s South End

This past weekend I arranged for a blind croissant tasting to identify which coffee shop in the South End serves the very best.  To help me, I enlisted three friends from France who now live here in the US to sample and critique croissants from five South End cafes.

Croissants were judged on three criteria: size, texture and taste.  Each category was weighted differently with taste being the most important. While none of the selected cafes achieved a perfect score; Cafe Madeleine was the clear winner – consistently achieving the highest scores from everyone.

Flour in the South End finished with a respectable second place but the remaining three cafes; Wholy Grain, South End Buttery and Appleton Cafe scored very low, suggesting there is a lot of opportunity to improve.

Thank you to Sergio, David, Mark, Frederic and Olivier for all your help.

Wasik’s in Wellesley: Why shopping local is best

Posted on October 11, 2015 | 2 comments

Wasiks Cheese Shop Carol WasikI’m a big fan of shopping local and supporting small businesses so I wanted to give a shout out to Wasik’s Cheese Shop in Wellesley, MA.  Last week Sergio stopped by this quaint family owned and operated business  in Wellesley Square to purchase cheese and meats.  The shop owner, Carol Wasik, noticed Sergio shopping and took time to answer his questions and help guide him with his purchases.  The cheeses and meats have all been consumed and they were delicious. If I lived in or closer to Wellesley I would be there regularly.

If you shop at Wasik’s, tell Carol that BosGuy loved the food.

So often I hear people complain about poor customer service, but that is never my experience when I shop at a local business like Wasik’s.  If you really value small businesses and appreciate quality service, consider supporting more stores like Wasik’s before you head off to your next mega, super, national chain. You might be surprised by how much you enjoy the shopping experience.

Wasik's Cheese Shop has been serving customers since 1964.

Head of the Charles is Oct. 17-18, 2015

Posted on October 11, 2015 | Leave a comment

RegattaThe 51st annual Head of the Charles Regatta will take place Saturday, October 17th and Sunday, October 18th. Just as Patriot’s Day (a.k.a. the running of the Boston Marathon) is synonymous with spring for Bostonians, the regatta reminds us that it is Autumn. The Head of The Charles is the largest regatta in the world, attracting more than 8,000 rowers and 300, 000+ enthusiasts and onlookers who cheer the athletes every stroke of their race. Head of Charles Regatta MapIf you’ve never been or if it has been a few years since you last found yourself at the Head of the Charles, I’d like to encourage you to come down to see what all the fuss is about and to lend your hand and voices to cheer on these athletes – some of whom have traveled from around the world to compete.

Things that make BosGuy go hmm…

ProblemsMy friends Ben and Brett are traipsing through South Africa. Earlier this week they saw this advertisement and emailed me to share on my blog.  I love how the same office for penis enlargement is also a resource for “all other problems.”
