Our 1 Month Anniversary!

Today marks one month since we took Hotties on the T online.  And don't worry, we're not going to deprive you of a pic today. As a matter of fact we have a sumptuous, hunky, drop dead gorgeous 1 Month Anniversary hottie that we'll feature beginning at noon! We just thought we'd take a moment to tell you some background about how we began and what we've accomplished.

The Hotties on the T concept was born in Summer 2011 when two men, FT and GB (see their descriptions below), began taking pics of hot men while commuting to work on the T. FT and GB would promptly text their pics to each other and compare notes. Then, in Fall 2011 FT and GB stumbled upon a London website featuring pics of hot men on the Tube and thought, "Hey, we can create a blog for Boston using the pics of men we've taken!". In January 2012 FT and GB learned that the group doing pics of men on the Tube was going to begin featuring men on the T in Boston. FT and GB promptly began creating the blog Hotties on the T so that they could beat the interloper from overseas. And they did! And now Hotties on the T has grown from 2 to 5 contributors (all of whom contribute pics).

• We were the first website to feature pics of hot men on the T (our first six pics were posted on January 31, 2012... beating another website by 17 hours).
• We post a new photo and story every morning, 7-days a week, at 5:00 a.m.
• We have had close to 8,000 visitors in our first month.
• We don't accept submissions. We use only photos taken by our group of male friends.
• We focus on the gay male perspective of men on the T (we have lots of straight fans!).
• We're a Safe For Work blog!
• We're locally owned and operated (unlike a foreign owned and operated website).
• We opted to forego advertisements (and the money we'd get for taking advertisements) so that we could stay in compliance with the T's photo policy.

What a lot of people are asking, however, is, "Who are you!?!?". Well, we do this anonymously, but we'll identify the nicknames we've given each other (nicknames are in italics), a brief description of each of our roles, and the subway lines we respectively frequent:

1. FT is our Executive in charge of production. Red Line / Green Line
2. FTH is our Executive in charge of diversity casting. Red Line
3. GB is our Executive layout editor. Green Line / Blue Line
4. RM is our Executive for social events. Red Line / Orange Line
5. Nippy is our Executive for suburban affairs. Commuter Rail / Commuter Bus

So, thank you all for the many kind, supportive and encouraging comments! Please bookmark our blog at home and at work. We don't want you to miss any of our hotties!
