By now you've had a few days to digest this month's scorching-hot Swimsuit cover (if not the whole issue!). But as promised, there's more than meets the page when it comes to cover hottie Pablo Hernandez! Follow the jump for exclusive outtakes from our swimwear shoots... 

Every month I aim to bring fashion advice and style tips to help inspire you to raise those sartorial skills to new heights. While I know that not everyone is going to get things right on the first try, sometimes I, or we here at Instinct for that matter, notice styling choices so heinous that they simply must be addressed. This, gentlemen, is one of those moments. 

Before I get started let me preface this by saying that if you are someone who finds themselves guilty of one of the upcoming gym-fashion crimes, our words come from a place of love. We believe in you and we believe you can be better. Now go ahead and hold your breath, ‘cause this might sting a little. 

Quit smoking. Lose 10 pounds. Be a better boyfriend. We all make resolutions every year’s end, but how are you going to stick to ‘em this year? Check out a few of our suggestions on how to be resolute in 2012.

Sure, the holidays are a time for family and gift giving, but we all know what this festive time of the year is really meant for...partying! So whether you are hosting a Christmas extravaganza or need eight nights of awesome Hanukah gifts, we have the spirits (and cocktails) that will please everybody this season.

How does a guy become one of Instinct’s Men of Style? Well for starters, he avoids the deep V trend (as in the mammary exposing V-neck variety), he never spray tans (because orange looks good on no one), and probably most importantly—he buys clothing that fits his current body, and not just the one he once had back in 1992.

She served it up with fierceness and sass on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and kept our Leading Men inline at our New York soiree, and now the hilarious Manila Luzon is dishing with Instinct on life post-Ru. From her new music career to dating a fellow queen, Manila is getting real with Instinct...after the jump!

After bouncing onto the scene with the club favorite "I Like That," Luciana is setting her sights on the world-at-large. Having recently re-recorded her hit "I'm Still Hot" with the indomintable Betty White, Luciana talks about working with the gay-run and owned Lifeline Program (check out our interview with Lifeline’s Stephen Terrell after Luciana’s), which birthed the unlikely collaboration and hit video. We caught up with Luciana just before she took off to the other side of the world to talk all about Adele, Gaga, smelling men's armpits and why she’s still hot.

Gay Republican?! The thought exasperates even the more moderate of liberal thinkers. It’s like a screen door to a submarine or an ejector button on a helicopter! Or is it? Our political experts have cracked open a few history books and mapped the political landscape and we think something’s amiss. Perchance we’re playing the devil’s advocate, but we’ve got a sore spot for the plight of the underdog. So come out, come out, where ever you are, Mr. Gay Republican. Hear us out, because we think there’s more to your story.

It’s that time of year again. We’re trading out our iced lattes for hot totties and shelving those itty-bitty tank tops in favor of all things furry and fabulous. While summer might have been fun, Fall is where it’s at with decadent layers, luxurious fabrics and the chance to raise our sartorial sights to a whole new level.

From New York to Milan, it seems the fashion Gods are feeling nostalgic this season, delivering a message mixed with trends of the past—from leisurely ’70s-inspired turtlenecks to opulent furs—that would make even a Rockefeller blush. Regardless of the era, the trends this season are all about luxury and confidence. Get on board with our five must-have trends of the season (click on the pics below to get 'em...
