Yes, it's January and yes, we've already started starving ourselves in preparation for the summer's upcoming shirtless activities. 

Our target date to have abs that we can grate cheese on? May 31!!

That's when we head to Orlando, Florida for "One Magical Weekend!!"

Details after the jump!

It's Pride from coast to shining glittery coast this weekend and dancer/choreographer/pop-upstart Wil Sabin is giving us a video full of costume ideas to werk from San Francisco to Chicago to New York and beyond. (Head here for more on where we'll be for this Pride weekend.)

Follow the jump to get your Pride weekend started on the right foot (the dancing one) with the premiere of the music video for Wil Sabin's "Wear Me Out."

We wish we could clone ourselves! We've got Pride weekend happening in both San Francisco and New York this weekend and we want to fly our Pride flags on both coasts!

Officially, Instinct will be present for San Francisco's Pride festivites on both Saturday and Sunday. We'll be offering subscriptions and signing people up for our forthcoming digital subscription. And yes, we'll also be doing some free giveways so make sure to stop by and say "HEY GIRL, HEY!"

Unofficially, you know we'll also have some operatives celebrating in New York. Details on the amazing NYC events that we know you won't want to miss after the jump!

Guess it's a bad day to be the Seattle Space Needle...

As if on cue, we just received word that the Empire State Building will celebrate New York City’s Pride Week from Friday, June 22 through Sunday June 24, 2012 by shining its world-famous tower lights in rainbow colors.

More after the jump.

Comedian Louis Virtel ushers us into Los Angeles Pride Weekend via this week's edition of "Weeklings!: Why I'm Proud."

We love a little snark with our Pride (and we want that umbrella--our delicate complexions will need it in all that SoCal sun this weekend!)

Check out the clip after the jump!

Angelenos, Pride weekend is about to be in full swing!

Don't miss out on the massive Wonderland Weekend events brought to you by Tom Whitman and Masterbeat!

Buy your tickets (and get details) after the jump!

There is so much going on this weekend for Los Angeles Pride and it's got us all in a tizzy. (We're not exactly sure what a tizzy is, but we're in it!)

It's as if the City of Angels is being turned into our very own gay Wonderland.

We guess that's because it is!

Masterbeat & Tom Whitman present Wonderland Weekend: Los Angeles Pride on June 9 and 10 and there are four incredible events that we know Instinct is not going to miss!

Details after the jump!

This national holiday marks the end of weenie and buns season, as well as no more hot dogs on the grill. We will be saying au revoir to pool parties and beaches, bbqs and driving with our tops off. Who are we kidding, driving with our tops off stops in December! We're just relieved that we have a good seven months before we have to see another co-worker in a speedo.

Whatever you do, please do it safely, because we can't afford to lose any of our precious readers.

Love,

Instinct

As we get primped for our Saturday night in the wilds of West Hollywood and or Silverlake (daring!), we needed a reminder of what we're actually on the hunt for. We know that many a gay will gasp with laughter at one of the latest gems from DamnYouAutocorrect.com. After the jump, our weekend's favorite and unintentional built-in joke that gays can appreciate.

We thought we were going to do laundry...but if we have to get drunk instead...well, we are Instincters!

When the weekend hits, straight dudes across the land are called on by their wives and girlfriends to bust out the toolbox and fix things. When we think of working with tools, our heads are in an entirely different place (both figuratively and literally). Don't judge. We're just sayin'.

We stumbled across this hilarious site, and had to ask: Redneck or Gay Guy "Do It Yourself" (DIY) repair? Check out these ridiculous pics after the jump, and you decide.

Mother Monster performed a piano-only version of "Edge Of Glory" for the BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and revealed that the song was inspired by...her grandfather? Watch after the jump!

We could ask you to caption this photo. Or...
