30 years ago: Like a Prayer by Madonna
Few things can make me feel older than stumbling upon anniversaries like this. On Friday, March 3, 1989 (thirty years ago – gulp), Madonna released the lead single “Like A Prayer” from her fourth album by the same name. The CD wouldn’t be released until later that month on the 21st. I can assure you I was at Strawberry Records that day picking up the CD scented with patchouli oils infused in the packaging to simulate church incense.
Scruffy Sunday
How did I happen to miss La Perla’s first men’s collection back in 2004. I realize this is a bit late to the game but as the saying goes, ‘better late than never.’
Saturday morning coffee
This looks like domestic bliss. Rarely do boxers and coffee look so good together.
Saturday morning comics
ADAM & ANDY is set in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. You can learn more about Adam and Andy and purchase a copy of “the definitive collection of Adam and Andy” by visiting, adamandandy.com.

Boston Ballet presents Full on Forsythe
The Boston Ballet is more than halfway through a five year relationship with William Forsythe, a choreographer who has been compared to Balanchine and Graham. His upcoming show, which opens a week from today on Thursday, February 4th promises to entice with an unorthodox soundtrack pulled from today’s pop, dance and R&B, featuring music from Khalid to Barry White. Check out the brief clip below to give you an idea of what to expect.
Boston Ballet presents Full on Forsythe
March 7 – 17 at the Boston Opera House
Tickets and More Information Here
Past productions have left me absolutely breathless watching what always seems to me to be innovative choreography and dancing you might not expect to see at the ballet. Their latest collaboration with Forsythe is appropriately called Full on Forsythe and while Sergio and I cannot attend opening night, I’m going to try and pick up tickets before the show closes on Sunday, March 17 and I would encourage you to do exactly the same thing.
Vintage gay
Any clue when this photo may have been taken? The car in the distance makes me think possibly the 1940s but I’m not quite sure. There is something very attractive about the guy on the left.
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: thesimplegentleman
This week I’m featuring a men’s lifestyle Instagram account. Larry Lim who splits his time between Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia, takes beautiful photos of him in his surroundings. Some of my favorite photos are of him strolling down the streets of Melbourne (one of my favorite cities). Larry has a sophisticated sense of style that seems very accessible. If you’re looking for more than just a pretty face (he happens to have that as well) and have an appreciation for fashion, I’d definitely suggest giving his account a closer look.

Chilacates brings Mexican street food to the South End
Source: Chilacates Instagram
Have you heard? Last week Chilacates opened their fifth location here in the South End at 275 Shawmut Avenue, in the space formerly occupied by the Wholy Grain Cafe. The local chain which first opened in 2015 in Jamaica Plain has quickly expanded to Chestnut Hill, Mission Hill and now here in the South End.
I’ve now visited three times and the food is fresh, flavorful and affordable. Chilacates has completely transformed the space. The back patio is now gone but some space is available for informal dining and in nicer weather their front patio will be popular but the bulk of their customers are ordering take out.
The family owned business is a welcome addition to the South End and joins a growing number of fast casual dining restaurants that have opened south of Tremont Street over the past year. Chilacates South End is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Starting at 9 a.m. this weekend the South End location will serve brunch.
