Halloween Hottie!

Nothing says Halloween like a good-looking fellow toting a pumpkin on the T! Just look at the luscious orange color, the intricate star-shaped carving around the stem. The round, voluptuous shape. The perfect sizing. It's a feast fit for a holiday!

We also want to take a moment to briefly tell you about ourselves and what we do:

1). We're a group of men who take pictures of men on the T.
2). Our blog posts are whimsical stories we create based upon the pics we take.
3). We are always in compliance with the MBTA Photography Policy.
4). We don't feature pictures of women.
5). We always blur the faces of women who appear in the background of our pics.
6). We are always complimentary of the men we feature on our blog.

We hope this will alleviate some of the hysterics women seem to be having the past couple of weeks regarding their fear of being featured on our blog. We are GAY MEN. We aren't interested in women!

Thank you.

Red Line at Morning, Commuters Take Warning

A whopper of a storm overnight has left us inundated with water and downed trees... and of course Red Line delays! But our hottie of a man is bundled up hunkered down due to the delays on the Red Line. Nice hoodie, lovely knapsack and very interesting book!

Boxing Day

In our Dominions Beyond the Seas Boxing Day occurs on December 26th. But Boxing Day came early in Boston with this athletic and sporty gent fresh from a round of boxing. Notice the boxing gloves dangling from his left arm, the form-fitting athletic pants, perfect-for-anywhere long sleeved jersey as he contemplates his next move on his iPhone. Fit as a fiddle!

That Jude Law Look

It was evening on the T and this sumptuous and sultry gentleman reminded us of one of our Hollywood Hearthrobs: Jude Law! Just look at the eyes and how his face is pointing one direction but he's surreptitiously looking somewhere else. We felt that we were in the presence of greatness

Lay Ee Odl Lay Ee Odl Lay Hee Hoo!

Two hunky hotties caught our eyes as they conversed with each other in lilting Austro-Bavarian accents. We suddenly had visions of men in lederhosen participating in Aperschnalzen (competitive whip-cracking)! Litres of beer! Pumpkin-sized Tyrollean pecs! Koala Bears! (we know, they're from Australia, not Austria. But they're so cute!)

And then that song popped into our heads and wouldn't stop playing... the most famous song of the Alps... The Lonely Goatherd!

Men in the midst of a Table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking bear with the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo.

Mr Metro

Our hottie shows off his classic Ivy League tennis club form on the train whilst reading Metro Boston. He likes his sports the way he likes his news... on the go and in easy to consume format. Note his perfect fitting khaki shorts, the Custom Fit Jacquard Polo Shirt, and the businessman umbrella by his side. All while taking in a condensed version of today's current events. He's prepared to experience it all!

We apologize for not posting the past couple of days, we're attending a conference at the Seaport District.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Muscular rowers arms greeted us on the T. It's Head of the Charles Weekend! And our handsome fellow was just one of many rowers from what appeared to be the St Anselm College Rowing Club! Come back later this afternoon to see more of these adorably handsome men!

On the Move

Athletic, fit, and on the move. Our hottie is a blur of activity and motion as he makes his way to the train. It was difficult keeping up with him, but we have ways of ensuring we get a pic of a man who catches our eye!

Exchanging Glances

What makes a train delay bearable? A hottie of a man such as this traveling with you! Everything about his grooming is immaculate. From the hair to the eyebrows, and of course the beard. And the plaid-ish lining on the inside of his jacket is a lovely counterpoint to the lusciousness of this adorable man!

Tis the Season

Crisp, cool mornings greet us as we journey to the T, and that means it's the season for men in vest jackets. It's a warm and inviting look. Now if only we could just squeeze in next to him to see what book he is reading!

The Turtle Had OCD

After a very very busy day yesterday this hottie captured our attention as he read the newly released Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. It's awfully nice when a man reads a real book on the T as it gives us an insight into his interests, something we can't easily discern when a man reads an eBook on his iPad). Turtles All the Way Down (about a 16 year old with OCD chasing a fugitive billionaire) is getting rave reviews (it was only released 1 week ago) and we imagine our handsome guy in tech-gray fleece jacket and striking facial features is a bit of a trend setter when it comes to consuming literature. Maybe our HOTT Crew can discuss the book with him over drinks sometime!

Professorial Ambition

With a brilliant sheen emanating from his sunglasses and his dress shoes, our hottie displays how to ride the T with simple style and elegance. We especially were captivated by the drape of the lanyard across his striped tie, and the masculine grip with which he holds his iPhone. What a lovely man!

You Are the Sunshine of My Life

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.

Autumn sun streaming into our train provided a dazzling setting for our handsome bearded hottie. It's always nice to see rays of sunshine on the way to work!

Poser or Poseur?

Such a look from our hottie this morning, and it was the catalyst that took our HOTT Crew into an in-depth conversation about the meanings of the words "Poser" and "Poseur." Just which one is this fine gentleman above?

A Poser is one who assumes a posture for artistic purposes and to set forth for attention or consideration.

A Poseur pretends to be what he or she is not.

We feel that this striking, mesmerizing, and mysterious looking fellow is more likely to be a Poser than a Poseur, as we all agreed he exuded the sincerity of a poser as opposed to the insecurity of a poseur.

Room for Two

The socks, the leather satchel, the quilted vest and the sensational beard all made us want to sit right next to this hottie and snuggle up to him! But first we made sure we got this lovely photo of him waiting for the next train.

We call this look "Urban Autumn". We like it!

Think Pink

We had the misfortune of having to commute on a train sponsored by Education First, which for some unknown reason was completely painted (inside and out) in a Pepto Bismol pink. Fortunately the handsome fellow across from us distracted us from the "upset stomach" atmosphere aboard the train. He chose lovely colors in simple tones of gray and maroon which highlighted his well groomed facial hair.

We adored watching our hottie, but we sure hope that we won't have to travel on the Education First Pepto Bismol Train! And if EF's train is bad, imagine what it might be like to work there!

HUBba HUBba

It's the beginning of the work week and we have an adorably geeky hubba hubba hottie on his way to... HUBWeek? He seems to be the type who's intensely professional, wickedly smart,  and handsome in that Clark Kent kind of way. What a fun way to head back to work.

Maybe we'll see more HUBWeek attendees riding the T this week?

Spread Your Wings

Like our HOTT Crew our hottie has a fascination with aeronautical things. Like planes and rockets. Evidenced by his "Air and Space Museum" T-shirt. Just as the Air and Space Museum is the preeminent aeronautical arbiter of mankind's exploration in the upper atmosphere, our hottie is a preeminent expert in matching shoes (Navy lace-up tennis shoes) with one's shirt (Navy T-shirt). 

Spread your wings, you eagle and fly!

Lumbersexual on the Move

It's Fall which means it's time for the ever elusive Urban Lumbersexuals to appear. Clad in jeans, plaid flannel shirts, and quite often facial hair or scruff we delight in spotting them on the T. Red Line sightings of Lumbersexuals aren't as common as sightings on the B Branch of the Green Line, so this was quite the happy encounter for us.

Keep your eyes out... the Lumbersexuals are making their way into the city!

Arlington Man

An autumnal day out on the town on a magnificent and beautiful day. And our hottie du jour exhibits how simple attire can provide a flattering appearance. And the Brooks Brothers bag is a nice touch and gives us a hint that our handsome man likely works in a profession requiring the finest in business attire. Nice job, hottie!

Of Leather & French Cuffs

Now this is a man dressed for action! A genuine leather sling satchel and French Cuffs on his dress shirt mean only one thing... he's at the top of his game! We wish we could have seen his cufflinks, or captured a look at his wristwatch (we bet it had a really wide bezel). What a gentleman!

Big Ten vs. Ivy League

Simply stunning! Here in the heart of the Ivy League, Harvard Square, this gorgeous gentleman stole the show with his Big Ten style! Gloriously clad in a gray quarter-zip sweater featuring the canary yellow logo of the University of Michigan, and with stunning perfectly groomed salt-and-pepper hair that matches is sweater, our hottie shows that when it comes to a show down of the Big Ten versus the Ivy League the Big Ten is the clear winner!

Go Michigan! Go Blue!

And he's not the first hotter-than-hot hottie from University of Michigan! Check out this previous post:

Magic on the MBTA

A stunning confluence of timing, lighting, and a handsome fellow occurred right before our very eyes. An interplay of shadows and sunbeams, mixed with facial hair and glorious eyewear made everyone stop what they were doing so they could bask in this gentleman's presence. Evening on the MBTA can be so romantic at times!

Breaking News! It's:

And to celebrate National Vodka Day we share the recipe of our favorite vodka cocktail, created by and named after us:

The Gentlemen's Vesper

2 parts vodka (preferably Ketel One or Grey Goose)
2 parts gin (must be at least 47% alcohol, such as Bombay Sapphire)
1 part Lillet Blanc

Take a well-chilled martini glass and add 2 splashes of Orange Bitters into the glass. Swirl the bitters around to coat the inside of the glass. In a cocktail shaker add the vodka, gin and Lillet Blanc and shake vigorously until icy cold. Pour into martini glass and garnish with a twist of orange peel. Then sit back, sip, and pretend you're James Bond.

Sunday Best

Our hottie is wearing his Sunday best for a casual tour on the town today. And what a complete package tour he offers, too!

Our HOTT Crew today will be out and about today for the free Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops concert at Franklin Park (3pm).
