Luminosity

Luminosity: The soft enhancing glow of light that illuminates one's face emitted by an iPhone. And our hottie today is definitely attractively bathed in the luminescence projected by his iPhone. Even FT got into the quest for the warm glow of luminescence with his own iPhone while checking the weather last night. It felt so good!

Stay warm, everyone!

Double Tuesday - The Intellectuals

Handsome men are hot, but there's an extra zing when you find a handsome and intellectually inclined man! These two hotties are on their way to work, the one on the left is already in his business casual attire while the one on the right is still in his workout clothes and, we presume, going to change at work. What handsome and hot men they are!

And yes, we did finally make it to work after today's horrific delays. Apparently the Canadian-designed trains on the Red Line don't operate well in cold temperatures. Go figure!

Crisp and Brisk

Our hottie today is the epitome of crisp elegance. And he's nicely bundled up for the severe drop in temperatures we're experiencing today. Stay warm!

International Style

Our hottie is a dream of chocolate colored attire, and he's posing in front of a building in the classic International Style at Northeastern University. He's our man of international style!

Stormy Weather

This time next week we'll be showing off on the T for @ValerieHeruska in the Boston No Pants Subway Ride! It's an annual tradition for our HOTT Crew, and a wonderful opportunity to capture pics of men in their underwear! Meanwhile, our hottie above is bundled up nice and handsome for this evening's wintry mix of snow, ice, and freezing rain.

Speaking of precipitation, our HOTT Crew is ready to help our fellow weather geeks, umm, we mean scientists, plot the actual course of precipitation and the form in which it's falling by reporting our current precipitation conditions via the mPing app. And you can join us too! Just follow the link below and report what you see!

Fabulous Friday - Sperry New Year

Our hottie brings in the New Year appropriately prepped out in his brand new Sperry Topsiders, and sans socks, no less!

And our HOTT Crew was thrilled to get a New Year's pic of our friends BosGuy and Sergio who are enjoying the warmth of the Austral Summer in Brazil. What a fabulous place to spend the New Year, and aren't they the handsome ones!

Blow, Gabriel, Blow!

Do you hear that playin'?
Yes I hear that playin'!
Do you know who's playin'?
No, who is that playin'?
Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'!

What a treat our HOTT Crew had on the T on New Years Eve! This ebulliently happy hottie with a great big tuba entertained the passengers on our subway car! 2015 promises to be another fantastic year!

Meanwhile, friend of our HOTT Crew, Dodie, was invited to the premier gala of the year at Simone de Beauvoir de Beauport's seaside mansion on Cape Ann! Only the creme de la creme attend this annual event, and our Dodie was appropriately decked out!

Dodie's Great Aunt was none other than Jacqueline Kennedy, so it was most appropriate that Dodie wore a replica (the original is in Dodie's safe deposit box at Cambridge Trust near HOTT Headquarters in Harvard Square) of the Sunburst Pin Brooch that Jacqueline Kennedy wore during the famous state visit to France in 1961!

But a glistening pin brooch isn't enough bling for Simone de Beauvoir de Beauport's New Year's Eve gala, yet what would go well with the famous brooch? Our friends TJ & Maxx arrived with their beloved pooch, Stella the Sea Beast (below) to whisk Dodie to her elegant event, and this is when Dodie came up with her brilliant idea!

Stella the Sea Beast, proud owner of the ocean front home where TJ & Maxx live, always wears a diamond-studded dog collar. Well, our Dodie ripped that collar off of Stella and turned it into a fashionable choker even Princess Diana would have been proud to wear! Way to go, Dodie!
