A few examples? There's the popular video of <a id="xbf1" title="shots of cover girl January Jones looking icey hott during her photoshoots" href="http://www.gq.com/video?videoID=42971935001">cover girl January Jones looking icey hott during her photoshoots</a> for last month's magazine.

It's a Conde men's monthly style video smackdown! <em>Details</em>, believe it or not, also considers itself a style leader. So the magazine asked New York comedians Max Silvestri and Gabe Delahaye to create a Web show offering "man style" tips on everything from  <a id="knan" title="fitness" href="http://www.details.com/video?videoID=39627581001">fitness</a> to <a id="tjf7" title="hosting a dinner party" href="http://www.details.com/video?videoID=39629888001">hosting a dinner party</a> to "<a id="elfp" title="looking amazing" href="http://www.details.com/video?videoID=39627581001">looking amazing</a>" because "you never know when you'll run into a millionaire!" (click on the humor tab to find all of 'em). We have to admit, these "mesh-shirt-wearing style experts" are way more fun to watch than any editor on <em>GQ </em>going on about tailoring.
