Proud, Happy, Hot?

Pride flag is on my door, as it flies every year.
Pride week in Toronto kicks in Friday. This is a big weekend. It's a wild wild party in this neighbourhood, with 3 different parades: trans on Friday, the ladies on Saturday, the guys on Sunday.
My personal favourite is the party on Church street every night. The things you see on the streets of our village will teach you more than you ever wanted to know about sex in all its variations.
I'll be here on Saturday watching the biker ladies passing by. The heat is on. It means there will be more skin and intimate parts visible than usual this year. Of course the weather is just an excuse.

Where is Our Summer?

It comes and goes in spurts and fits of rain, wind, cold, with a burst of sunshine tease here and there.
Meanwhile, people get hopeful and shop for summer clothes, of which plenty are to be had at RM.
The latest incoming items and sales include fabulous Boss jackets and suits, fun T shirts and shorts, sandals and shoes. Anything a man of taste and style needs.

One of my favourites still offered is a fine Boss jacket of linen and silk mix - summery, light and elegant. It's in my window, hanging over a Gotstyle stripy cotton shirt, a match made in Heaven.

The jacket is similar to this one:
