Effervescent

The first commute to work of 2018 and we found this effervescent hottie standing right in front of us! And while he has a hot cup of coffee to warm himself up we were warmed up simply by being in his presence!

New Years Eve

Our HOTT Crew friend Dodie says that when evening temps are in the single digits (it's 7F right now at 7:30pm) it's martini weather because one can walk around outside with a martini and it stay bone-chilling cold. And our last hottie of 2017 is perfectly dressed for "martini weather" with the upturned collar on his winter coat and the fashionable and well-draped muffler (scarf) around his neck. His thermal boots are also a nice nod to the arctic chill pervading our fair city.

Whether you're outside enjoying the festivities or inside watching Anderson Cooper on TV freezing his tutu at Times Square we wish you a wonderful 2017 and look forward to bringing you many more hotties in 2018!

The Hottie Wore Bunny Fur

What do handsome men wear when the temperature is 0F (-18C for readers in our Dominions Beyond the Seas)? They pull out their bunny fur headgear (aka Dear Stalker Hat) and warmest winter parka with fur-trimmed hood. Note our hottie's stylish footwear that's incredibly appropriate for walking on ice-covered sidewalks or business meetings in the conference room! What a stylish and warm fellow!

And yes, it really was 0F at HOTT Headquarters this morning!

Strings Attached

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this picture comes not just with words but with the warm tropical sounds of Hawaii! Our cute fellow plays the ukulele for all of his traveling companions and helped create a festive and fun atmosphere on our train while the temperature above was only 3F.

Well done, Ukulele Boy!

Freeze Frame

It's cold outside, and getting colder! But this fine looking man gave our hearts a little warmth as we boarded a chilled train on our way to work. And he was one of the few men aboard he didn't have his entire face covered to protect from the cold.

Let's hope the T keeps working as temps begin to go below zero!

Thunder Snow and Swimming Pools!

This handsome guy is all bundled up for bone chilling cold. Even his cheeks are rosy red from the deep chill in the air. From top to bottom he's a model of winter fashion and preparedness.

Meanwhile, while our dear readers in Boston are freezing their behinds off in Thunder Snow and copious amounts of ice...

...our HOTT Crew has been having breakfast al fresco at our dear friend Dodie's lakefront home in Orlando, Florida. Right now it's 72F lakeside here while our weather station in Cambridge reports of a temperature of only 21F. You POOR things!

Wool

Our HOTT Crew endured a long and arduous trip in yesterday's ice storm as we winged our way to warm, sunny Florida to spend Christmas with our HOTT Crew's friend Dodie. On our way to the airport we encountered this fabulous furry fellow magnificently attired in a violet cashmere sweater with matching violet wristwatch armband. It's the perfect color for the last days of Advent! Yes, dear readers, the 12 Days of Christmas don't begin until TOMORROW! And not only is our handsome man dressed for this pre-Christmas season he's also reading the suspense-filled, post apocalyptic thriller "Wool"! The violet clothes and the deep oranges of the book cover give a marvelous shoutout to the hit colors of the 70's! Speaking of the 1970's...

Our friend Dodie is hosting her annual Lake Cherokee Christmas Gala in Orlando, and the theme for the gala is "Let's Party Like It's 1978!". Women are requested to dress a la Rosalyn Carter and Joan Mondale in 1978, while the men (that's us!) get to dress in elegant tuxedos!

Above FT (left) and GB (right) relax in the den just prior to finishing dressing for the gala.

We're so sorry to hear that you have Winter Storm Warnings posted for Christmas Day while we'll be dining and dancing outside in the warm tropical breezes.
