Centerfold

FT and GB have very different ways of tracking down hotties (such as the centerfold'esque fella above). FT prefers to step into a train, take the first available seat, and wait for handsome men to come into photo range. GB takes a different approach by quickly scouting each car as the train enters the station. Upon seeing a car with a hottie GB goes to that car and positions himself for a (hopefully) good shot.

The whole point of this story is that FT and GB were traveling together when this pic was taken, but they were in completely different parts of the train.

They called this shot "The Centerfold"

The Eyes Have It

Actually, his eyes have it. That stunning soul-piercing look framed by elegant eyebrows. Beautiful eyes that read books while encountering delays on the T. Eyes that make delayed travelers on the T utter sighs of relief as we realize we have someone we can think of to pass the time before the next rain arrives.

The eyes have it, indeed!

Financial Bind

Intently reading Elements of Bankruptcy (6th Edition, by Douglas Baird), our studious looking man gets into the fine print on his commute to class. It's fascinating and dense reading, but our handsome furry faced fellow dives right in with relish and we're sure he'll be a master of the text by the time he arrives for class!

Johnny Weir of the MBTA!

Just as two-time Olympic Figure Skater and NBC Sports Commentator Johnny Weir turns heads with his flamboyantly androgynous sartorial flair, so to does our hottie turn heads with his inspired New England take on a Johnny Weir'esque sense of fashion. The camel-tones of the corduroy jacket with shawl collar, accentuated by a rustic Cantabridgian-style Lefty Liberal handbag, really pop when you notice the brilliant mauve (The Official Color of the 1980s!) fingernail polish.

Hats off to this hottie gent for liberating the masses on mass transit and showing how one can brighten up any commute!

Ginger Snap

With yesterday's Red Line woes our HOTT Crew decided to bike from Cambridge to Boston for some tasty cocktails to help pass the time as the T attempted to restore some semblance of order. And our strategy paid off when we encountered this ginger-haired hottie on our ride home! The thick, luscious, coppery head of hair was adorable as it was, but this red-headed gent was a friendly fellow as well!

The St Anselm College jacket is a lovely touch, and is probably where he attained his academic credentials and exceptional manners. We need more men like him on the T!

He Went to Jared's

For fashion at work our handsome man went to Jared's. No, not the jewelry store. He did what all successful businessmen do... he took a page out of the fashion book for what men who have the job he wants wear to work. Men like Jared Kushner. It's a style that says Business Magnate. Decisive. Cool, calm, and ready to make deals. He went to Jared's!

Speaking of business...

It hasn't escaped our notice that iBoss, a new and growing business that's just moved to Boston, has figured out rather quickly that delays on the MBTA's Green Line are quite common. We wonder of the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (and the MBTA) have noticed that this new company they've landed for our Commonwealth has discovered the unreliability of our mass transit system?

High Tech Talent

The location: Harvard Square. The Scene: Tech talent commuting to work on the T. Tall and golden blonde, we can tell that our hottie isn't originally from New England by his hairstyle. Only men from California wear their hair with such precision and, ummm... what we call poof. His trendy Acteryx jacket (a must have for technofashinistas) is cleverly layered over a charcoal gray hoodie (how Facebook!) and a horizontal-striped polo pullover shirt. And although they didn't appear to be together the fellow in the background is decked out in quintessential New England version of tech fashion.

But wait... there's more!

Although West Coast hair fashions tend not to make inroads in New England, Silicon Valley shoe styles do! Just look at these gents' feet! These guys are making statements at work that they're serious techies!

The Boss

The foreground is a handsome fellow bedecked in winter's finest. The background is one of those ever-present iBoss ads we're now seeing on the T. Our man must be The Boss! Rockin' it with a charcoal Pea Coat and copper colored pants, he finishes off the look with spectacular eyewear and deep luscious facial hair. Like we said, he's the boss!

Model UN

Have you seen the plethora of earnest looking and fastidiously dressed young men around town this weekend? Men such as the one above? Well, the Model UN is being held this weekend and our HOTT Crew's heads are spinning at all these fine looking gentlemen walking about so very purposefully, arriving on the subway platforms with those hard-to-contain grins as they realize they're now members of the elite.

It's quite a pleasant surprise to find such alert, perky, and buttoned up men on the T!

Red Line in Motion

People a blur as they're on the move, but our delicious and athletic hottie is a sea of calm on a crowded beginning of a holiday weekend. Tall, lean, and very business like, we're sure he's at home high in the city's skyscrapers or out in a secluded cabin in the country. Happy Holiday!

Happy Feet

He has style, flair, and a sense of fashion color. And just look at his happy feet! He's rocking' it with those colorful socks that cleverly match the color of the temples of his eyewear. Wow!

Let's take a closer look at his footwear, shall we?

A floral pattern on a Delft Blue background highlight our hottie's perfectly polished shoes. And our HOTT Crew noticed right away that our hottie is Bi! BiContinental, that is. The shoe in the foreground is laced European style (straight) while the shoe in the background is laced North American style (criss-crossed). What a man!

Park It Right Here

A royal blue Michelin Man coat (aka a Puffer Jacket) gave warmth and protection to a striking and tall gentleman parked right next to us at the T station! We always enjoy being able to gaze at a hottie while waiting for a train, and this fine man certainly kept us entertained!

Tommy Hilfiger vs Calvin Klein

It's the battle of name brand fashion on the MBTA, and our HOTT Crew was there to document it for you!

On the left is handsome man with sensuously well-groomed facial hair clad in a red Tommy Hilfiger Denim Winter Jacket with Faux Fur Hood (retail for $249), and accessorized with a Tommy Hilfiger granite-gray wool beanie (retail for $49.50).

On the right we have an equally handsome hunk wearing a black Calvin Klein Quilted Hooded Puffer Jacket (retail for $245) overlaid on a gray hoodie and accessorized by a Calvin Klein Merino Wool Knitted Slouchy Hat (retail for $48).

But wait, there's more!

The shoes! While our "Tommy Hilfiger Hottie" wears wheat colored Field & Stream Men's Classic Workboots (retail for $109.99) our "Calvin Klein Hottie" bedecks himself in the tech industry favorite Allbirds Men's Wool Runners in a fetching shade called Tuke Sage (retail for $95).

It's like Fashion Week on the T!!!!

The One

He's the one. The number one hottie. The number one handsome fellow. And he's on our bus! The Red Line was suffering interminable delays so we had to resort to a bus to get us across the Charles. But what good fortune to get both a seat AND a spectacular view of this man!

Citrus Swirl

Wrapped in a swirl of citrus-colored piping our ever so handsome man provided for a mesmerizing commute home in inclement winter weather. And look at those dimples! Adorable!

Meanwhile our HOTT Crew winged our way to Orlando early yesterday morning (pic below of descent into Orlando International Airport). Our HOTT Crew friend Dodie has set us up to teach advanced tech solutions at retirement centers throughout the city. Oh the tales we can tell!

Tall, Dark, and Warm Dry Feet

A winter storm's a'comin' and our tall, dark and handsome hottie is prepared for the snow, sleet and slush for this afternoon. Luxuriously tall insulated water-proof boots show off our hottie's tall lean frame with aplomb. So casual, so easy going, so perfect to be with in front of a fireplace on a snowy day!

Tsunami of Love

It feels like living in Hawaii this morning, and our hottie is ever so prepared for the Tsunami that is about to hit! L L Bean Duck Boots are the perfect choice for scrambling away from the waves or wading through mass destruction. Did you get the alert (below) today from Accuweather?

The only thing missing was an alert for incoming North Korean nuclear missiles. And just what does one wear for a tsunami/nuclear explosion combo? How about asbestos swimsuits!

Fortunately, the National Weather Service in Boston stepped up to the plate to remind everyone that there is NO tsunami warning.



We now return to our regularly scheduled programing.

How 'Bout That Puppy Bowl!

What an exciting game last night! Team Fluff brought home the Lombarky Trophy yet again edging out Team Ruff 52 to 47. So many cute rescue pups playing their hearts out to help other rescue animals find loving homes. You can watch a replay of the Puppy Bowl by clicking on this link: https://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/puppy-bowl/

Speaking of puppies and love, this academic-looking fellow was engaged in a pursuit we've not yet seen on the T: pretending to be asleep with one's girlfriend while perfectly balancing coffee on one's thigh. They were quite entertaining to their fellow passengers. Yet it was one of the oddest performances we've ever seen on the T.

Stat Boy

The big day is tomorrow (the Super Bowl for those of you not following sportsball) and our hottie could very well be busy brushing up on the stats between the Pats and the Ea*^#@. We're sure he'll be at the top of his game on Sunday.

Speaking of Stats Boy... although our HOTT Crew are not big fans of sportsball events we have found a fascination with ESPN's Tony Reali of Around the Horn, the original Stat Boy. And over the years he has blossomed into a hunkalicious fellow as you can see in the video below where he was leaving another ESPN program Pardon the Interruption!

The Hottie Wore Warby

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. - Oprah Winfrey

And this is the man we want with us on the bus! And very convenient he was on our bus all the way to Harvard. A beautiful face, lovely Warby Parker eyewear, and a brilliant electric pink charging cable that let's you easily find him even in the darkest of locations!

Gray Matter

A brainy, stylish, and sophisticated fellow delighted us with a plethora of sensory sensations. The gray Pea Coat paired with a gray-patterned muffler and old-school tie. The intellectually-inspired eyewear. The leather satchel. He's a man of distinction and fine taste, with more than a bit of forward-thinking to him.
