Black is the New Black

If you're going to wear black, make it work! And this hottie above certainly does with a dark and handsome appearance. Bravo! Our HOTT Crew has been on special assignment in Provincetown this weekend to catch up on the latest cultural offerings, learn more about the planned AIDS Memorial, and get an update on construction progress for the Provincetown Monorail.

We were in a select delegation of thought leaders and news providers asked to be a part of this special weekend. And Provincetown leaders knew how to get our attention by providing everyone with fresh Wellfleet oysters and delicious martinis at Victors (above, and normally closed for the season but open exclusively for this special event).

Victors provided a conveniently warm venue from which to view progress made on the monorail. Extensive work is well underway near the TLC Station on West Vine Street. Underground utilities for the TLC laundromat, fiber optic cables, and beamway posts are all being installed simultaneously.

Another view of monorail construction down West Vine Street (looking towards the harbor).  After our tour of the construction our delegation was taken to Town Hall to view the site of the planned AIDS Memorial and meet with artists who are thinking of submitting designs for the memorial. It was intriguing to see so many designs focused on the diversity of people who succumbed to AIDS.

Afterwards our delegation got to partake in the First Annual Skipinder Winter Festival, a collaborative effort of the Provincetown Cultural Council and South Asian Arts Council. The entire series of the Australian/British classic Skipinder, the Punjabi Kangaroo was presented to thunderous applause (and ample Australian and Indian snacks). The PCC and SAAC hope festivals such as these help make winter a good time to visit. It's been a fun weekend and we look forward to coming back soon!

Cold as Jack

Heat filled handsomeness warmed up our train on this cold as Jack day. What an elegant line his collar makes on his wool overcoat. The waves, the curves, the angular lines create an image of suppleness and enveloping warmth.

Fabulous Friday - How Green Was My Valley

How extraordinary! A sumptuous viredescent hottie. A verdant bon vivant. An unjaded gent. Our man of green! His Columbia jacket the perfect choice for this breezy winter day that will soon turn to the depths of the arctic.

Happy Hottie

This jubilant and very attractive gentleman made our day on the T. He's so adorably happy, so well turned out (notice the lovely layering of contrasting textures). It was a pleasure to ride with him to work!

Men Read the Darndest Things

You thought the No Pants Subway Ride (#NPSR) was unusual, you should check out the unusual reading material we spot men reading on their commute to work!

And speaking of the No Pants Subway Ride, the organizers of the event have just posted the video on YouTube. Check it out below!

Double Tuesday - Trans Siberian Subway

Such a swift and precipitous plunge of the temperatures in the past 12 hours, and we've managed to capture the scene on our way to work! From high tech polymers that ward of the blasts of arctic air (hottie standing) to woven natural fibers that cuddle one in one's own body heat, our fellow travelers aboard our train were certainly bundled up!

Luscious Lips

Such a fine set of lusciously full lips on a very handsome man. Being bundled up against the cold can't hide the heat generated by today's hottie!
