Winter is here but don’t let the cold keep you at home when there are so many events, parties and more. This week I’d like to give a shout out to the Après Ski Winter Mixer on Wednesday (hosted by Out in Southie, OutRyders and DotOUT) at Bastille Kitchen and on a somewhat related note the Sugarloaf Together ski weekend that starts on Thursday to benefit Equality Maine. 

If skiing isn’t your thing perhaps you’d like to show your love and support by attending the Coronation XV: Vintage Hollywood the Golden Age of Glamour which will be a blast or you can join Sergio and me at the Lush Life: Jazz Standards show on Thursday at the Napoleon Room. 

On Sunday I’d like to give the Mass Bears and Cubs Sunday brunch at Trophy Room and the Gay Beer Club Sundays which meets later that evening (both are friendly, social groups that do a lot to dispel Boston’s cold reputation).

Below I’ve listed nearly 25 events, parties and programs but here are a few shout outs for you to consider. If you’re looking for something that will provide you with a bit of culture check out Winnie-The-Pooh: Exploring a classic (the show closes on Sunday), get tickets to see Small Mouth Sounds from the SpeakEasy Stage (it’s opening weekend) or invite friends to join you the local galleries on Friday evening for SoWa First Fridays, or check out 

If you’re more in the mood to let of some steam and dance the night away check out LADY GAGA Night at CC or FASCINATION Friday if you want to get your kink on. On Saturday you can head over to The Oberon to pretend you’re at Studio 54 at the audience participation Donkey Show or dance all night in your underwear at The Alley’s UnderBear dance party.

Winnie-The-Pooh: Exploring a classic opened at the MFA back in September and will close on Sunday so if you want to see this show make plans to visit the MFA this weekend

SoWa First Fridays is a great option to check out on Friday from 5-9PM if your looking for a fun and affordable way to get out and  take in some local culture – head over to the galleries and studios in SoWa at 450 Harrison Ave.

This week’s photo comes from Peter Miller who shared this photo to two affectionate soldiers from South America (or so he thinks). Much thanks for sharing Peter. I’m curious if anyone might be able to hazard a guess as to where or when they think this photograph may have been taken?

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.
