With Bear Week in Provincetown officially ending just yesterday, this waxing video may seem sacrilegious, but I couldn’t resist sharing this quick video from the Fuzz Wax Bar team in Toronto.
Check out as this handsome model walks on the streets of Toronto, inviting people to tear off wax strips that doubled as coupons.
Pretty painful creative marketing if you ask me.
Looks like a pleasant place to spend a Sunday morning.
Last week I wrote about how last Saturday I attended the gay Boston softball fundraiser at the Manhunt Mansion and posted photos. Shortly after, my friend Marco shared a post from Buzzfeed 20 Signs you’re at a gay pool party.
I have to admit that the signs are all spot on. Are you going to a pool party today or later this summer?
I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of this list which includes such signs as:
Bear week in Provincetown has officially ended today and thousands of guys are heading home via ferry, plane and car. This post is dedicated to everyone heading home.
Hope you had a wonderful time in Ptown.

Boston’s Music Festival – Outside the Box – has been hosting dozens of shows each day since the festival started last week. Later tonight the Adam Ezra Group will take the main stage in City Hall Plaza at 7:30 pm. If you get there earlier, you can also see award-winning recording artist and native Bostonian Adam Jensen who comes on stage at 6pm.
Here’s a song I’m fairly certain the Adam Ezra Group will perform tonight for everyone. Note it’s not exactly work safe.

Are you visiting Provincetown this week or later this summer? Do yourself a favor and go see a show while you are there. The town is full of incredible talent, like these guys – WELL STRUNG – who are back for their 2nd season in Ptown.
This guy with excellent taste in baseball teams, was a Furry Friday post in May, and I thought he’d make for an excellent Bear Week bonus post.
I have zero interest in football, but this guy is making me reconsider and think perhaps I should start to pay more attention to those pick up games that happen in the park across the street from where I live.
Gym memberships can be costly, but during the summer months Boston has so many free classes throughout the city you needn’t spend any money to get into shape. Yoga, Zumba, Crossfit, Boot Camp, Pilates and Running Clubs all offer affordable ways to get / stay in shape and meet people.
Free classes are also being hosted around the city including along The Greenway, City Hall Plaza and in East Boston. For additional details about free, outdoor fitness classes (most run through the end of August) link to BostonMovesForHealth.org calendar.
David Bullock or @AlaskasVeryOwn (on Twittah) sent out a Tweet today that really placed a lump in my throat. Earlier in the day I had posted this video created by Howard University alumni and students, because I thought it went a long way to challenging people’s perceptions, but my corresponding Facebook post resulted in people arguing about the verdict rather than coming together.
Bravo to David for imaging a world I think we’d all like to live in. I’m thoroughly disheartened by the Trayvon Martin verdict and the racially charged dialog that has ensued. I don’t like how violent our society is, I can’t understand why we have “stand your ground” laws, and I’m frustrated that many feel a young guy dressed in a hoodie is perceived as suspicious.
But mostly I can’t help but admire David Bullock’s Tweet and agree 100%.
Heads up to all in Provincetown this week. Check out this week’s special Fur & Gold party at the Grotta Bar from 11 pm to 1 am tomorrow, Thursday, July 18th.
