Or, at least, he must, because Sean Avery, the 28-year-old hockey player for the New York Rangers and a major playa with the ladies, will be interning at Vogue Magazine this summer. This struck me as odd. First, he’s 28. Huh? Second, he’s a hockey player. Really? Third, he’s interning for a high-end fashion magazine. I’m lost.
But not others, including my boss. “He has a great sense of fashion, and with all the ladies he dates now, you know the Vogue offices are the perfect place to pick up a few more.” Obviously this is our personal opinion based on his rumored womanizing reputation in New York City. But Avery didn’t have to give an arm, an eye, starve himself and smoke outside sans stockings during a New York City winter to get his foot in the door at Vogue. Oh, no. It’s rumored he was hand-picked by Anna Wintour. But the question is, was it his fashion knowledge or hockey-playing good looks that caught her eye? We’re sure his eye for fashion and penchant for black patent leather Yves Saint Laurent high-tops wasn’t the only thing that got him picked.
