Aquamarine

Our handsome man in waterproof aqua jacket and finely trimmed beard and moustache made our trip on the bus an extraordinary experience. 

Meanwhile our HOTT Crew has this sudden urge to go horseback riding with this hottie below. Giddy-up!

What a Racy Idea!

Lady Edith Crawley: Why don't you come to my place this evening for drinks?
Bertie Pelham: What a racy idea!

Just as Lady Edith inspires Bertie with her racy plans, our hottie above inspires us with his race ready attire. He's a gentleman prepared for any situation. Just like our Bertie (who at the drop of a hat can manage a 20,000 acre agricultural estate, put together a women's fashion magazine and adores his gay cousin).

All this has us thinking back on the infamous Banquet of Blood Sunday evening. We love the shocked and horrified look on Lady Mary (far left) as she sees her mother, the Countess of Grantham (far right) splattered in blood.

Here's a closeup of the blood spattered Countess. Similar to how our HOTT Crew friend Lola looked after Nippy spewed red wine all over her!

Double Tuesday - The Boarding School

Max, darling. Haven't you ever heard of a delightful little thing called Boarding School?
- The Evil Baroness in The Sound of Music

Our two delightful men gave us the impression they were the product of elite New England boarding schools. Stylish. Preppy. Clothing that is worn regularly, not just once or twice. It's more than a style. It's a lifestyle. And look at their shoes. Functional yet making a statement.

But let's leave our 2 hotties and The Sound of Music to get back to more pressing matters. Sunday's episode of Downton Abbey, aka the Banquet of Blood!

In that blood curdling episode we learned tantalizing, yet ever so subtle details about an unseen character named Lord Hexham of Brancaster. He's the cousin of Bertie Pelham, and is described as more art than sport, if you know what I mean, who likes to paint the young men of Tangiers.

Which means he plays for our team!

But Tangiers is in Morocco. How could our HOTT Crew ever explore this exotic land and culture where wealthy aristocratic British men of arts and letters (and easels) reside?

On a bike trip, of course!

We love our annual bike trips with Duvine Adventures and they just happen to have a bike tour of Morocco! It's precisely what we wanted... an exotic cycling adventure with a Downton Abbey connection. Come join us!

Blood Red

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter! @HottiesOnTheT

Such brilliant primary colors on today's hottie! Stunning blood red jacket with equally brilliant barber pole patterned socks and perfectly polished shoes. And quite the chiseled jawline!

Speaking of red, how about last night's episode of Downton Abbey! Our HOTT Crew hosts a weekly Downton party every Sunday evening and we were not prepared! We won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but there was a very climatic scene towards the end and our dear Nippy, who is easily shocked and surprised, wound up spewing red wine all over the living room! And our HOTT Crew friend Lola took the brunt of it with Chateauneuf du Pape dripping from her hair and earrings and coating her clothes. Definitely an episode our HOTT Crew will long remember!

How It All Began

Our 5th most popular hottie of all time was featured on January 9, 2015 (Fabulous Friday - The eReader). A handsome and delightful fellow.

And on this, our 4th Anniversary of taking pics of handsome men many of you are asking, "How did it all begin?". Here's how!

Way back in 2011 HOTT Crew members GB and FT would be commuting to and from work on separate T lines and would pass the time by texting each other pics of handsome men who were on their trains. After acquiring quite a collection of pics of handsome men on the T they discussed how fun it would be to post all of the pics on a blog. And that idea just sat there.

Then GB and FT heard about TubeCrush, a website featuring handsome men riding London's Undergound. GB and FT knew they could do that, too! But again, the idea just sat there.

Eventually GB and FT learned that TubeCrush was going to set up a website for New York and they were determined that the time to create a blog featuring handsome men on Boston's MBTA was right now. And they became the first and foremost such website for Boston!

Soon after starting the blog FTH joined our group, and then Nippy and Undercover RM. We've had blast recounting all of our adventures, especially as we get to use pics of hot men as the backdrop. And we look forward to many more years to come!

Our Friends Have Made Us Four!

Above is our "Fabulous Friday - Harvard Meets Carrhart" post from 2 years ago today. Click on the title to see what we wrote about him! This particular post is quite popular at Grinnell College in Iowa. Go figure!

Meanwhile our HOTT Crew member Nippy has created this poem in honor of our 4th Birthday and all of our readers out there who have made this possible.

Welcome to our land of dreams,
Our hotties full of magical things.
Where love and laughter come to stay,
Welcome to our holiday!

We're four today,
and going strong!
We can't believe
It's been that long!
Come on and join our family,
Happy Birthday Hotties on the T!

Go Nippy!

In the Beginning...

...there was Hotties on the T!

It all began 4 years ago today with the hottie you see above. And Hotties on the T was the first blog to feature fine looking men on the MBTA, beating BostonTCrush (whom we have since put out of business) by a full day!

We think the secret to the success of our internationally renowned blog (we've been featured on the BBC, Boston Globe, Universal Hub, Boston Magazine and BostInno, to name a few) is in part due to us telling the stories we imagine about the hotties we feature, and also keeping you, our loyal readers abreast of our own stories, which are based on real events!

But the one thing our readers mention that they like most about our blog is that we only say kind things about the men we feature. We never denigrate them, we always lift them up. We believe there is an abundance of beauty on our great subway system and we strive to showcase it for you each and every day.

We'll have other posts today to tell you more about our beginnings. Meanwhile, keep reading Hotties on the T!
