“And if you’d like to learn something, consider this: If you feel like teasing this hockey player about an obsession of his that you might think is a little unusual, go right ahead. Just know that you may get your ass kicked by a very expensive pair of shoes — and that they’ll probably match both my belt and my shirt.” - Sean Avery, on his haters, as this week’s guest editor for Men’s Vogue.com.

Special treatment, favoritism, nepotism -all standard behavior in fashion, especially magazines. It's all about who you know. This is nothing different. If you want to make it in the industry, get past it and prove yourself (and network!). No use in harping about Sean Avery. It's really no different than any other celebrity with no credentials guest editing a magazine. And, I'm sure his "internship" at Vogue didn't mean someone else lost out on their opportunity. Total publicity stunt.
That said, he's a total douche!

all the press this is getting is hilarious....I mean, other people intern for fashion magazines, and I am sure that TONS of people in other careers are interested in fashion, but because he is a MALE HOCKEY PLAYER that happens to own some Dries, people start shitting bricks.
Back when Viewfromthefourth row was updated, the author put it best when Tinsley Mortimer was at her Banana Republic show texting on a Blackberry the whole time: "Don't shit where I eat." You don't see ME prancing around in careers where I don't belong, so I would expect the same from anyone else.
