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 I’m featuring the Instagram account of Chris Kane. The photo above was to promote last year’s Broadway Bares which raises money for the charity Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.
I was first made aware of Chris’ account through a mutual friend, Brian M. and I think for anyone who likes Broadway, following Chris would be a real treat. At the moment Chris is the Assistant Choreographer/Dance Captain/Swing for the US National Tour of Kinky Boots so there are lots of photos of Chris as he tours the U.S. With just under 3,000 Instagram followers, I’m assuming this Instagram account is one flying under your radar so check it out and follow him.

While the photo above is not from JJ Suspenders, I figured such a dapper image might give you pause to take a closer look at this post which is really my way of saying “Thank You” to JJ Suspenders.
Below you can see the surprise gift that was mailed to me last week. While I don’t have any pants that have suspender buttons sewn into them, Sergio does and this will look fantastic on him. If you don’t own suspenders, check out JJ Suspenders’ “Style Guide” on everything from selecting the right size to choosing the best form and style for your personality.
JJ Suspenders come in a variety of styles and colors and are available for purchase online with free shipping available for orders of $50 or more.

Last Monday Black Jack Pasta Kitchen opened in the space formerly occupied by Morse Fish Co. at 1401 Washington Street. Their opening continues a trend of more affordable take out dining options that have been popping up through out the South End over the past 2-3 years.
Their menu is very approachable with hot and cold subs ranging from $8-$10, choose your own pastas range from $11 – $15 depending on your sauce and toppings and larger entrees range from $14-$16.
The menu provides a nice compliment to Union Pizza which is next door and recently opened after the Greek sub shop, Harry O’s closed. I’ve yet to try the food at Black Jack Pasta but their pasta, subs & garlic bread reviews on Yelp seem decent and will likely be a popular place for grabbing a quick dinner.

It is Independence day in the USA and while I feel like our reputation has taken a hit in recent years (a self-inflicted hit at that), there is still plenty to be proud of and to celebrate so for everyone in the US and to those living abroad; have a wonderful July 4th.
