The Cake: I ate up this play and so will you
Last week I wrote a post about Boston Lyric Stage latest production, The Cake, and after seeing the show, I wanted to encourage you to get tickets to see it for yourself, but if you need further reason, read The Boston Globe’s review, Humor and humanity are the icing on The Cake.
The Cake uses humor to address a subject that has been grabbing headlines for years. Despite the fact that we’ve all heard more than we probably care about individuals using religion as an excuse to deny service to LGBTQ community, to watch the drama unfold on stage is more compelling than you might think. Thanks to the excellent script and solid cast, it is quite funny to watch as well.
I found it very hard to dislike Della, a traditional Southern baker who has a crisis of conscience when her deceased best friend’s daughter returns to ask her to make her dream wedding cake for her and her fiancé. Della is not unlike many Americans who fail to see the hypocrisy in their selective interpretations of passages from the Bible (specifically Leviticus) that condemn homosexuality, people who eat shellfish, pork, etc… yet only homosexuals are denied service – not those who enjoy a good lobster dinner. Della’s love for Jen (or Jenny as she calls her) compels her to reexamine some of those long held beliefs.
Make plans with a friend or another couple and get tickets before it closes on February 9th. Like me, I’m sure that after you see the show, you’ll never look at a pile of mashed potatoes quite the same way again.

Vintage gay
Unsure when or where this photo may have been taken but this dapper couple caught my eye when I was looking for photos and wanted to share with you.
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
This week on Instagram: kyl_e_t
Say hello to Kyle who hails from Fife Scotland but now calls Edinburgh Scotland home. Kyle is an engineer who obviously spends a lot of time at the gym. Most of this ginger’s photos are selfies and shirtless photos. He also has a number of photos goofing around with his buddies in Scotland and elsewhere.
This is definitely a mancandy account and for those of you who are fans of gingers – this one is a must follow.

“You can kiss my ass”
Pre-Broadway run for Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite opens in Boston this February
Matthew Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker: Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite
Two-time Tony Award winner, Matthew Broderick, and two-time Emmy Award winner, Sarah Jessica Parker, perform next month in the pre-Broadway engagement at the Emerson Colonial Theater in Boston.
The famous couple have not performed together on stage in more than 20 years but the Neil Simon comedy, Plaza Suite, seems like a great show to bring them together and Boston is lucky enough to get a first glimpse at how their real life chemistry might translate on stage in this hilarious play about love and marriage. Little known fact that was shared in the release says that the Simon play made its world premiere at The Colonial more than fifty years ago in 1968.
Plaza Suite at the Emerson Colonial
February 5 – 22, 2020

Beautiful Buenos Aires
Last month Sergio and I traveled through parts of Argentina and spent 5 nights in beautiful Buenos Aires at the Park Tower Hotel in the Retiro neighborhood; near Puerto Madero and adjacent to Recoleta. This was our second visit to the city; our first visit to B.A. was back in the early 2000s.
Above you can see some photos of Sergio posing in front of a Pride flag in a public park, Obelisco de Buenos Aires and the Casa Rosada which translates into the Pink House and is where the President of Argentina resides.
There were some things we wanted to revisit like the Recoleta Cemetary (shown above) where prominent families from B.A. are buried – Eva Peron among them; going back to the Floralis Genérica or the Tulip as I kept referring to it (shown below); and spending more time in the Palermo neighborhood.
To make the most of the beautiful weather, we made a conscious decision to spend as much time as we could outside walking through our favorite neighborhoods and visiting their many gorgeous parks. It was a special treat for this New Englander to be wearing shorts and a t-shirt in December and made me feel like Sergio and I were chasing summer.
Below are some of photos taken on our visit. I could probably write an entire post on the parks and green spaces throughout Buenos Aires. The city is breathtaking, and I already want to go back again.
Some of our favorite parks included Buenos Aires Ecological Reserve, a massive reserve in the heart of the city; Parque Thays most notable for its Nude Male Torso sculpture by Fernando Botero; Floralis Genérica a.k.a. the tulip sculpture made of steel and aluminum; Buenos Aires Botanical Garden in the Palermo neighborhood and the Japanese Gardens.
If you enjoy art and are looking to do something a little different, I’d recommend checking out the guided walking tours of Buenos Aires graffiti art. We signed up for a 3 hour walking tour through different neighborhoods in BA and it was really fascinating. The tour guides tell you about the individual artists, their backgrounds, and their trademark techniques that have helped distinguish them. After we took the tour we were able to spot the work of a few of the artists who had been featured on our tour in other parts of the city. The girl with the blue hair from pum pum shown above was one of my favorites.
If you’re interested in learning more you can check out the tour guides website and the various tours they offer at graffitimundo.com.
While there are many fantastic restaurants in Buenos Aires, Sergio and I did not indulge in any gourmet experiences. However we did return to B.A.’s famous Cafe Tortoni to indulge in an afternoon coffee and dessert.
We also really enjoyed the Four Seasons Buenos Aires lounge, Pony Line. Thanks to a tip from a bartender there we were directed to a subterranean bar about 3 blocks away in a Flower & Wine shop called Floreria Atlantico where you enter the basement bar through a fake refrigerator door (see Sergio in photo above).
Despite being disappointed that we didn’t see everything we had hoped, I know I’ll be back to Buenos Aires. It is an amazing city and one to add to your bucket list if you’ve never visited.
