Hockey player turned Vogue vanity intern Sean Avery can now add “model” to his resume. In this ad for Marc Jacobs “Protect the Skin You’re In” campaign, Avery poses with very little left to the imagination. This is one T-shirt I don’t think I’m going to buy.

A few weeks ago, we reported on news that hockey player Sean Avery was working as an intern at Vogue magazine. However, his duties weren’t much like that of a typical intern: he got to present at the FiFi Awards and rumors swirled that he would appear on the cover of sibling publication Men’s Vogue.
Now, some real (but nameless) Vogue interns have told Radar magazine that Sean is in no way getting the standard intern treatment. Intern Ashley reports that, unlike Avery, interns don’t get a company email address, any pay (he’s getting minimum wage), meeting invitations, event invitations, or face time with executives.
Not too shocking. But this slideshow of Avery in “intern” mode is pretty hilarious–unintentionally, of course.
If you want a career in fashion, few places are better launching pads than style bible Vogue magazine. However, college design students, I regret to inform you there’s one less intern slot available this summer. That slot has been filled by a gentleman by the name of Sean Avery, who already has a day job–playing hockey for the New York Rangers.
Something tells me Avery won’t be spending his internship sealing envelopes or picking up everyone’s Starbucks order. The unpaid employee was a presenter at the FiFi Awards, which honor the best of the perfume industry. And there are rumors he may appear on the cover of Men’s Vogue. Does Sean Avery being an intern mean Venus Williams is going to become Anna Wintour’s assistant? Maybe college kids will start fighting for jobs as celebrity athletes.
