Why would a hockey player work as a Vogue Intern??

Okay, we think the guys are beginning to figure out how much fun we actually have as girls. First there was Tiki Barber on Project Runway and now Sean Avery is working as a Vogue Intern. Usually, your job as an Intern is pretty much descriptive - Pee On! Normally, he’d make coffee, hang up coats etc, etc, but no not this Intern.

According to WWD,Sean Avery started his internship at Vogue on Monday, and already staffers at Condé Nast Publications Inc. are buzzing about the New York Ranger star’s presence at 4 Times Square. Observers say he’s involved in all sections of the magazine, including features and accessories, and attends edit meetings.
And while Avery pulled down $2 million last year with the Rangers, he’s earning minimum wage for his time at Vogue, a magazine spokesman confirmed, denying speculation Avery was being paid $5,000 for his summer job. While Vogue has been mum on the specifics of Avery’s internship, insiders say there’s been talk of the hockey hard man attending the couture shows in Europe next month along with Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and editors André Leon Talley, Hamish Bowles and Sally Singer (which would be sure to raise the eyebrows of jealous Voguettes).
No word yet on if he’ll be filing reviews on the shows, or, like tennis star (and Wintour favorite) Roger Federer, appearing on an upcoming cover of Vogue or Men’s Vogue. (WWD)
