Happy Hottie

An ebullient smile is all it takes to melt commuters' hearts and make everyone feel at ease. Our hottie above has just the smile, just the stance, just the look to make sure everyone knows this will be a pleasant journey. We need more happy hotties for our commutes!

Land Spreading Out So Far And Wide!


A Green Line experience reminded us of the theme song from the classic TV show Green Acres! Here we have a handsome fellow gloriously manspreading on his way to work. Golden-haired and autumnally-dressed our hottie provides a delight for those sitting in what we call the "club seats" on the Green Line trains.

Although we rarely accept submissions, we give credit to one of our loyal blog readers for this marvelous photo. It's a great pic, and is a great help to us as we get back in gear from our trip last week to Barcelona!

Thank you, loyal reader!

Sweater Weather


The warmth and coziness of a mock neck cardigan sweater pairs beautifully with a a nice bushy beard. And our hottie has it down with this cool-as-a-cucumber look that exudes warmth and friendliness. If only our ride together had been longer!

Man in the Moment


Our deliciously furry faced man is lost in the moment as he browses his iPhone for news, messages, or perhaps a multitude of other things. And he kept our mind off of the delay on the Red Line due to a stuck train at Park.

And while he's a Man in the Moment, we awoke this morning to discover that the Man OF the Moment is none other than...

Prince Harry! As Harry is one of our subjects in one of our Dominions Beyond the Seas we want to extend our congratulations (begrudgingly) and best wishes (half heartedly) to Harry and Meghan.

With Harry soon to be married we need to find another single royal gentleman to dream about. Road trip!

Farewell, Barcelona!


A chill wind spilled down from the mountains onto Barcelona as we took the Metro to the airport for our flight home. And a day as warm as our hottie welcomed us as we arrived into Boston today!

We'll miss the free WiFi on the Barcelona Metro (if only the MBTA had something like that), the clean trains, the warm and friendly men. We'll be going back!

Meanwhile, we're taking care of our jet lag right now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving sunrise over Gloucester Harbor



















Our HOTT Crew is flung far and wide this year. But as on every Thanksgiving we share with you this reflection of ours.

Thanksgiving is a special time for everyone on the HOTT Crew. It arrives at a poignant time of year as the trees stand newly shorn of their leaves, the days have shrunk to what seems like a few hours of light between the two darknesses, and the chill in the air hints ominously of what's to come. And as the nation stops, we gather together just as a band of haggard Pilgrims in a new land once did... to offer their thanks to God.

It's Raining Men, Halleluja!


While Bostonians are experiencing a day of rain, our HOTT Crew is basking in the rain of men in sunny Barcelona! What a way to celebrate Thanksgiving!

And this striking gentleman has every fashion accessory planned to the minute, and perfect detail. Everything about him exudes a comfortable sense of celebrating fashion. A glorious man, indeed!

Beautiful Barcelona


They're gorgeous. They pose. They have confidence, and they're frequently smiling and laughing. The men we encounter here in Barcelona have a zest for fine living, for being engaged with others, for celebrating the enjoyment of life.

What a change from Boston!

Layering


You may notice we've been missing the past couple of days. It's because we're visiting our Overseas Dominion of Catalonia!

And here we have a handsome Catalonian fellow bedecked in form-fitting thermal base layer paired with luxuriously thigh fitting slacks with a color evocative of the earth toned colors found in so many of the traditional buildings around Barcelona.

The men are stunning here, and they love to pose for pictures. What a country!

Earth Tone Delight


A slightly fuzzy picture of a deliciously fuzzy faced gentleman greeted us on our way home from work. As cool temperatures approached he radiated a sense of warmth. And quite an attractive warm guy at that!

Downtown


Our hottie has the look of a man on a mission. A man heading downtown!

Speaking of downtown, today is the birthday of the legendary singer of the hit song Downtown...Petula Clark!

Everything's Poseable


He's got the luscious beard. The casually academic travel attire. And he's got the pose! Such a glorious pose on a morning commute. This is a man with style and panache!

Listen Up!


Our hottie makes final adjustments to his ear buds so he can achieve optimum audio quality on his way to work. And notice the optimum fashion style he sports, too! He's a man who appreciates quality!

And yes, we're back from warm, sunny Florida. Thank you so much for welcoming us back with this cold, damp, gray weather!

Laugh at the Cold


Ruggedly handsome,a our bundled-up fella sports a warming charcoal 3/4 length wool coat with a flash of vivid green. We like it when our men add some color to our morning commute!

And if you're wondering why we missed yesterday's post it's because we were...

...winging our way to Florida to visit our HOTT Crew friend Dodie! The wining, the dining, the tech support! We've been very busy reconstructing her IT network after it went awry in Hurricane Irma. Fortunately Dodie has quite the impressive wine cellar, which means our glasses never run dry while we're tangled in cables and routers.

Yes, it's quite warm down here and we're laughing at the cold you're experiencing in Boston!

Evergreen


Hunter green is an inspiring color for Fall. Just as the leaves turn from green to gold, our handsome fellows begin to stand out from the crowd in their hunter green Henley's. It's a classic look for men. And we like it on this handsome man on our evening commute!

Three Minutes to Ashmont


Sometimes artifacts in our midst provide us with inspiration for titles of yet-to-be-written novels. Here we have a gorgeous man bedecked in heartwarming gray and immaculately trimmed facial hair while in the background we spot a sign we see everyday. Today it gave us thoughts of writing a book titled, "Three Minutes to Ashmont" - A never ending story of longing that begins on a train journey with no end. Oh wait, that was the Green Line experience today!

Central Perk


A perk of riding this particular bus was having this handsome fellow standing before us in all of his athletic glory. Just the right pose for keeping one's balance whilst simultaneously presenting one's best attributes!

Athletic Fit


Being avid cyclists our HOTT Crew tends to wear athletic fit sportswear, so we were delighted to find a fellow traveler with our same taste in clothes. And doesn't he look fine! Of course, it's hard to go wrong with a Boston Red Sox logo on your running jacket. Nice job, handsome fellow!

Puzzled


A deliciously handsome man in perfectly pressed dress shirt knows how to pass the time during one of the T's interminable delays... by doing the crossword puzzle!

With the approach (in fits and starts) of Fall we can't help but think how nice it will be to bedeck ourselves in the morning in Flannel, grab a cup of Joe, and settle into a good New York Times Crossword Puzzle.

Sartorial Splendor

Through the Lookinglass


Sometime we catch a fleeting glimpse of a man through the window of a moving train. He catches our eye, we have a brief moment of wonderment, and then he's gone. Like this fellow above. With a moustache and beard, and an iPhone at the ready, he slips silently into the evening commute as we stand outside watching.
