I have this very same pair of underwear and they look nothing like this when I wear them! Thanks David for sharing this photo on your blog, H.A.F. Now I need to get busy planning my frivolous legal case against Mr. Calvin Klein.
Four weeks from today Margaret Cho will kick off a one-week run at the Art House in Provincetown. If you’ve never seen Margaret Cho perform on stage and will be in Ptown during Carnival Week this is one show I’d highly recommend you go see.
Margaret Cho is a regular here, spending part of each summer in Provincetown. Although she’s a San Franciscan through and through there is no doubt her heart has room for two homes and she considers Ptown a second home. Her performances here tend to be more raw and her audiences more adoring.
Margaret Cho will be peforming from Saturday, August 11th through Saturday, August 18th. You may purchase tickets online here.
It is Friday. If that’s not reason enough then how about because Cheyenne Jackson is just so damn handsome.
Are my followers more humorous than I realize or am I simply able to read more Tweets and in a better mood because I’m out here on Cape Cod? Tough to say, but this Tweet by Ratty from earlier in the week gave me a good chuckle. I’ve been told that Bostonians have a cruel sense of humor – I suppose it must be true.
Ratty lives in the South End and he mostly Tweets about food and life with his fiancee. If you’re on Twitter and you’d like to follow Michael, you can find him @HeyRatty.
This week I’ve gone for an “artsy” take on Furry Friday. Its not the typical full body shot (although I assure you there will be more of those in the future too.) This guy has an amazing profile but I really love the sensuality the picture oozes.
Maybe you’ll disagree, but I loved the picture when it was sent to me.
I’ve swiped the title from an interesting article on NPR’s website. If you are like me you love charts that show information rather than listing content simply in text. The chart just below provides an interesting look at what American households earn. Just to be clear, a “household” consists of all the people who live in one house or apartment; including families, roommates, etc…
These numbers come from the more than 114 million households in the 2010 Census. What this shows us is that the median household in the US makes approximately $50,000 in income and benefits per year; meaning 50% made more and 50% made less.
The article overlays that information with geographical data. This is where I know I’m a marketing geek, because I just loved this bit. You’ll see that many of the wealthiest states are ironically what would be classified as “blue” states (more progressive) or in the case of states like Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia trending that way. 
Read into this what you will. If you like you may read the article on the NPR website by linking here.
I loved this sign at a Provincetown shop.
Earlier this week I read July 19th marks the 17th anniversary of the release of the movie Clueless, which stared Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd (among others). The movie also included a cameo by Boston musician and lead singer of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Dicky Barrett.
It could be a sign of how shallow or perhaps how “clueless” I am that I love this movie. Looking at the cast, I can’t believe Brittany Murphy has passed. She was brilliant as the East Coast transplant just trying to fit in with the cool kids and crushing on Elton.
One of my favorite lines of all time was when the uptight Amber says to the gym instructor, “My plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.” And Cher’s BFF, Amber, says without missing a beat, “Well, there goes your social life.“

Provincetown is an expensive place and it can seem like you are opening your wallet every five minutes.
However, there are a lot of great places to grab an affordable meal. One of my favorite places to visit is Big Daddy’s Burritos at 205 Commercial Street in the Aquarium Marketplace. Big Daddy’s serves up delicious take out that is ready in minutes. When I visit Provincetown I grab more than a few meals here. After you pick up your take-out, bring your food out to the Aqua Bar where you may order a cocktail and eat overlooking Ptown Harbor.
Below is a photo of the “Catch of the Day” burrito in a bowl ($8.50). The portions are plentiful enough and the lime-cilantro yogurt sauce with the cucumber salsa makes this one of the best deals in town. Its even better accompanied by a cold beer at the Aqua bar.
The view from the Aqua Bar is free of charge and never gets old. 
Later today we take the high speed ferry back to Cape Cod; specifically Ptown. Each year very good friends rent a house for a week and my partner and I make sure to go down for part of that week. This has been a tradition that has been going on for several years now and is one of those annual vacations that we don’t even question. There is something so relaxing about being in Provincetown with this particular group of friends that makes the trip unique from our other jaunts here during the summer. 
Amazing photo of Boston’s waterfront as an afternoon thunderstorm wreacks havoc. The view is from the North End looking out at Boston’s airport and East Boston.
Last weekend a blogger whom I read and occasionally comment on was visiting Boston. He and his partner were coming back for the second year in a row to spend a week relaxing in Ogunquit, Maine.
For those unfamiliar, Ogunquit is another gay-friendly destination on the coast of Maine just a 75 minute drive north of Boston. I have very good friends who spend much time there, and I can assure you its a beautiful place. But I’m getting a bit off track…
It was really great meeting the blogger “Blobby”. When we met I was able to ask him how he got the name Blobby. Apparently its a college nickname that stuck. We spent a couple of hours chatting at a local bar and just getting a chance to say hello in person. Although I don’t know how many bloggers I’ve met in person (maybe 5-6), each in person visit has been a positive experience, and time spent with Blobby was no different. Hopefully the coast of Maine will work its voodoo on Blobby and he’ll want to return so we can make this an annual tradition.
Blobby – thank you for sharing some of your vacation time with me while you were in Boston. I enjoyed our time together.

Sometimes I’m left wondering if people are actually paying attention to what they are saying. In this case, I’d have to say the Liverpudlians either had a temporary lapse in good judgement or have a great sense of humor. Thanks to Ste for sharing.
