Embracing the Metro Within
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Zportz > Anna Wintour
New York Ranger hockey player Sean Avery started his 'internship' with fashion bible Vogue last week.
Why???
Why NOT???
He told Women's Wear Daily, the fashion industry's trade rag, "I wanted to immerse myself in fashion. I couldn't think of a better place to do it than Vogue."
He must have been inspired by ex-girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen to explore his inner fashionista!
Avery may be getting paid minimum wage like all the other interns, but it's far from the ordinary experience.
According to reports, he may be appearing on the cover of the mag and is slated to attend the couture shows in Europe with Anna Wintour next month.
Wonder if he'll go back to hockey after the internship?
Wouldn't you take models, jet-setting, and clothes over the hockey puck?
We're jealous!

HOT………. and FIRST
He's not metro, Perez. He's GAY.
So…whats new with Britney?
YUP, SUPER HOMO!
JOHN TRAVOLTA HAS A SON, HE DIDN´T SIGN, ANDDD I GOT THE PICS!! I JUST WANNA KNOW, WHERE CAN I POST THEM!!!!
no way…if he leaves the rangers, i will be so pissed.
he is a total asshole. other hockey players hate him. he's not good looking either, and I heard he is teenie weenie.
are potatoes a starch?
Gay.
He's so fucking HOT!
i want his COCK!
He's soooooo gay!!!
Avery's a douchebag and very disrespectful as a hockey player. Here's hoping he finds his inner couture and stays there.
What a handsome man.
Oh Perez…lovely interns at Vogue (such as myself) don't make minimum wage. We work for free! He's one of those Lauren Conrad type deals. Not really an intern!
He's a fag. Or a woman trapped in a man's body.
The majority of interns do NOT get paid at Vogue at all.
They earn school credit. Only 1 or 2 are actually paid. I was an unpaid intern at Vogue once upon a time. You do bitch work…a "regular" intern would never go to the Couture shows. Working at vogue is like being in a comedy show, only all the actors think they've been cast in a drama.
He is not getting the "real" experience.
conde nast doesn't pay their interns! not even minimum wage.
they "offer" a 12$ a day stipend, which they don't come through on.
No puck - no models. that's why he doesn't give it up.
This is sickening… using his "star" status to take away internship opportunities from college kids who actually WANT to be writers, work in publishing, etc. He should spend the off-season working on his game so the Rangers might actually win a Stanley Cup for the first time in 14 years.
He is a jackass.
this guy is an ignorant brute…total asshole. I hope he leaves hockey for good.
he paints his nails which says a lot. He is the most hated punk in hockey. He's lucky to have a job. He has about 3 years tops if the Rangers sign him and he doesn't get hurt AGAIN which he will.left. 5-6 if he goes to the minors and does his act there. He like working at vogue to steal dresses and desings fag. He's a little douchebag cocksucker. he needs to go back to LA where they ran him out. He would fit right in. He's a clown and embaressment to the league. The sooner he goes away the better. Asshole! The need to get rid of the instigator rule. Then he wouldn't pull the shit he does. He couldn't have played 20 years ago, he would have gotten his little ass beat every night, although he enjoys that. Go away Avery and ride off into obscurity.
hockey is way better than fashion and this douche. no question.
Vogue can keep him. Avery is a complete a-hole and does not deserve play in the NHL.
ahh he will never leave the rangers! thats my boy
He's probably sleeping with Wintour. She looks like a cougar. This moron Avery is racist, sexist, homophobic and recently made fun of another player with cancer. He's a loser!
good i hate this fucker. leave the ice and never return. you are an embarrassment to the game. don't think i'd ever see wayne gretzky be a fashion intern on the off season. lame-o.
When he played with the Red Wings, he hung out with a bunch of other hockey players who lived in my building that I hung out with all the time and let me tell you….he is NOT Mr. Personality. He is obstinate and a one crass prick. Not a nice person at all. When people say hi to him, he says fuckoff you piece of shit, whether he knows the person or not. That's the kind of person he is.
Avery your a friggin prick. Are your doctors sure when you split you spleen it wasnt your brain? Go Leafs GO!!
He's an embarrassment to the awesome sport of hockey. Who ever let him into the NHL ranks, anyway? They should be shot.
He's a goon-ball. That's all.
He's the biggest flamer ever.
Well he was alright in hockey, mind you, he's known to be a bitch on and off the ice.
LEt fashion have him! He's an ignorant prick on AND off the ice…he can't play hockey for shit and he's a racist,homophobic,hooker-slinging douche-bag!
Where were you in the playoffs against Pgh,you asshole!
Sean Avery is a joke and this proves it.
Please, PLEASE stick with fashion, Sean. No one outside of MSG wants you to come back to the rink. Hes a douche rocket.
too bad Sean Avery is an asshole, and probably one of the biggest pricks playing hockey
No real man who plays hockey would take jets and modeling bullshit over a chance for the cup, get tha fuck real.
He's a dirty goon and is probably the most hated hockey player (by other players and fans of the game) today.
I hope his internship is successful to the point that he doesn't return to hockey since he's done nothing but tarnish the sport anyway.
What an f-ing loser. The Rangers suck ass so he had to start moonlighting. I love how he actd all tough but start shaking when he gets in fights out on the ice. Stay at Vogue and leave the NHL be.
This totally made my day. I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and we're having a rough time in the finals..so seeing this made my day a bit brighter. Sean Avery is the biggest menace in hockey with NOTHING to back it up with. Jarkko Ruutu gave him a run for his money during our series when he stole Avery's stick.
I guess poor little baby's lacerated spleen the Pens gave him is doing good enough for him to intern. Sadly his brush with death probably did little to humble his ridiculous attitude.
Wouldn't you take models, jet-setting, and clothes over the hockey puck?
no you fucking fag. avory must be a pretty big douche, cuz no real hockey player would ever become a "fashionista" lol i even hate that word!
Ewww… Look @ that mug. Sean Avery is ugly inside and out.
If this is what it takes to get the most hated man in hockey out of the NHL I am all for it- fashion can have him because hockey fans certainly don't.
It won't be long before the fashion world kicks him out on his butt because of his attitude
SEAN AVERY IS A DOUCHE BAG!!!!!
He looks like a neo Nazi who rapes chimpanzees.
Of course he'll go back to hockey idiot, …anybody would know that his hockey career is not forever…he's actually smart to educate himself so that he has a career when he retires from the NHL.
Aves is THE SEX!!! he's only a dick on the ice, NOT off. you guys are just JEALOUS. and he COULD TOTALLY KICK YOUR ASS….WITH NAIL POLISH ON!!!
I don't know who this guy is, but his skin tone is BAD. He needs a good laser treatment to remove the freckling, followed by a good peel.
I think this is fucking rediculous. there are millions of young men and woman who work their whole lives, and countless hours in fashion schools dying for an opportunity like that and that spot he filled could have been filled by some one who DESERVES IT for hard work, not fame and some lame fucking excuse to be on covers and blog pages. People dream for an internship like this their whole lives while he is just going through a phase. RE TAR DED.
Sean Avery is 100 times more entertaining and good for the NHL than the ever feminine Sidney Crosby. I really hope he comes back to the Rangers next season. Let's go Rangers!
LOVE AVERY..
.JEALOUS FIRST OF ALL, WHO WOULDN'T WANT A INTERNSHIP AT VOGUE!!!!
HOT, IN TOO FASHION, TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF AND PLAYS HOCKEY MY IDEAL MAN!!!
Vogue stinks! Ever since they hired Lauren Conrad they have been hiring CList celeb idiots and socialites who to be Vogue interns on a whim. The girl from Degrassi and now this idiot. I guess average people with good grades who want to be real fashion journalists are no longer wanted. Even within the Vogue offices, they have become famewhores.
"It's not exactly news that Avery is a league-wide joke. Or, as Penguins winger Gary Roberts put it a few weeks ago, "an idiot."
Roberts was speaking in the aftermath of Avery's ridiculous face-guarding act against New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur."
You might have heard what Avery did at the Rangers' next practice, when he realized a television camera had caught him re-enacting his face-guarding routine. He made an obscene gesture to the camera.
This is the kind of maladjusted mental midget you're dealing with.
i love Sean avery
The only dealings with Vogue any REAL man should have are as toilet- or bed-side jacking material.
Avery is a wimp. And a fag.
ugh…i hate this douche
He has no eyebrows.
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Egg Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys forgets that he's also a racist.
And not to forget the time he use a players cancer to insult him.
Avery is a great human being…
Maybe he can get Chris Pronger a job there too! Dirty goon losers!!
What a loser - maybe he's leaving the NHL after being voted the 'Most Annoying Player' by the rest of the league.
wtf? he's such a douche! what were vogue thinking?
Avery actually approached Vogue, and offered to work for free!, "because he loves fashion soo much." Imagine that, I told this to my buds a couple of months ago and they didn't believe me….
awesome player, he really is interested in fashion, good for him.
come back to the rangers!!
Vogue interns never get paid. Though Sean Avery is…that's why it's ridiculous. He doesn't deserve it.
To the Rangers fan above who claims Avery is 100 times more of a man…grow the fuck up. You're just pissed that Crosby is a real man. A man that is humble, nice, and cares about the sport. You're also jealous that he's one of the few good looking guys in the league. I'm so tired of people like you hating on him because he's basically perfect. Get over it.
PS If Avery is so fucking awesome, why did the Rangers lose so bad? I'm sure you're also one of those people who claims the Pens wouldn't be where they are if not for all these injuries on the other teams. I laugh in your ugly guidoNewYork face.
I love love love sean averyyyyy
2 words for this fool: total douche.
Avery is an asshole and an embarrassment to the sport of hockey.
NEXT TIME BLEED INTERNALLY FOR REAL AVERY.
sean avery is a kickass hockey player, I LOVE THE RANGERS AND HIM
and good for him to pursue his passion
as long as he returns to the ice in september i'm okay with whatever he chooses to do!
I'm a die-hard Rangers fan but, fuck he annoys me. I'd hate the shit out of him if he wasn't on my team. There's a reason he's called "The Pest". He's already singed a couple year deal with the Rangers though, so expect this to only be an off-season deal. He might be known for his fashion sense, but it doesn't mean he actually has any. Not to mention, he isn't attractive. King Henrik, on the other hand, is both gorgeous and well dressed.
Go Lundqvist!
Re: Ann –
HAHAHAHAHA. Crosby is a real man??? Sweetie, look at the pedo-stache he's taken months to barely grow. If that's a man, we're all fucked.
I knew he was gay (not that there is anything wrong with it) … that's why he "over-compensates" on the ice …..
Re: Amanda – pedo stache? not sure if you just really can't spell, or you meant pedophile, either one is a sure way to announce yourself as just another sad rangers fan stuffing cannoli up your sandy vajay.
no matter how little scruff he can grow..SID'S TEAM MADE IT TO THE FINALS! suck on that, SWEETIE! avery was too busy dying..
Re: Amanda –
hey honey. crosby's the 20 year old captain of the pittsburgh penguins who are in the stanley cup finals. obviously you know shit. cause if that's not a real man than who is.
and avery, really focus on your game and not fashion. you are a hockey player.
