Sean Avery Peeves Me
Sean Avery makes me so angry. Actually, he not only makes me angry, but he makes me seethe. Usually, I don’t let people get under my skin like this, especially people I don’t know, but he just needs to take some time and stay off my computer screen especially when I’m looking at something that doesn’t have to do with hockey. Oh, and did I mention he used to be on the Detroit Red Wings, my favorite hockey team since birth, but he isn’t any more— nope, he and Shanahan trucked their slapshotting asses to the New York Rangers, but let’s stick to his fashion related incidents shall we?
Mr. Avery…where shall I begin, how about the fact that he’s interning at a little magazine I call Vogue? Why? I couldn’t tell you, but I can tell you that not only is he interning at Vogue, he’s a big hockey star mind you, but he’s getting paid to be an intern. Did I mention he’s a big hockey star with lots and lots of money? There are very few, and I mean maybe no, interns at Vogue that get paid.
My next grievance is, Vogue will be taking him to all the couture shows, so he can flirt with all the pretty models learn something about fashion. Seriously…
Also, if you flip to page 78 in the June issue of US Vogue. Start from the top and just let your eyes float to the bottom. Now tell me, what seems to be awkward about this page? Yup, there’s Avery’s black-eyed mug smack dab in the middle of Chanel Iman and Behati Prinsloo. PLEASE VOGUE STEP UP YOUR GAME!
The pièce de resistence is the picture to the left. That’s Mr. Avery at the Fifi Awards dancing with Vera Wang. Why exactly is he there? I have no idea He’s her date. Was this the straw that broke the camels back? HELL YES!
Excuse me while I calm down a bit. Go Red Wings!

FYI – Interns HAVE to be paid if they are not getting school credits.
I’m a former Conde Nast intern & I also got paid because I was no longer in school & couldn’t earn credits for my time. Non-paid interns are earning school credits.
Also, if you knew anything about Sean Avery… Fashion is his passion. His dream is to work at a fashion magazine. Hockey is a sport that he is good at (I’m guessing that being born in Canada helped him get into hockey in the first place) & if someone is willing to pay him millions to have fun playing hockey why wouldn’t he?
AND – Why can’t he spend his time off learning about his passion? When he retires from hockey he’ll be more prepared for the fashion magazine world.
My point – if the magazine industry would pay him the same thing he makes playing hockey he probably wouldn’t be playing hockey. (maybe he’d play just for fun) ; )
Sorry Carolynn!
None of that information makes me dislike him any less. It’s perfectly okay for him to love fashion, but its another thing for him to be Anna Wintour’s little pet project. It’s also annoying to see any one person at every fashion related event.
Thanks for stopping by though!
I really like what you had to say here! It\’s about time! Would you mind if I placed a link back from my blog?
