David Beckham*, what hath you wrought?
First, the New York Rangers’ left wing Sean Avery interned at Vogue and blogged for MensVogue.com about everything from what’s in his closet (Dries Van Noten, Chanel) to what it’s like fracturing one’s spleen on the ice.
Now, Philadelphia Eagles football player, Stewart Bradley, (who is a total stud muffin, BTW) is interning at Elle magazine. The Philadelphia Daily News reports that the 6’4”, 255 lb. linebacker may even be working at Fashion Week later this month.
Hmm, I’d be interested to know if all of Elle‘s interns get to work at Fashion Week.
(*Of course, Becks hasn’t actually interned at a fashion magazine, so this is not exactly his fault. But Becks is responsible for the idea that gifted athletes could also be metrosexual fashionistas. Why, just this week we posted a pic of Becks in his undies, posing for Armani.)

It’s not just Becks - over here in the UK they are ubiquitous. The thing I find hilarious now is the way they market male moisturisers for other men, but call them “recovery boosters” to make the men feel as if they’re doing something macho to themselves after beating themselves up on the footie pitch.
BUT sayin that, isn’t this just inverted sexism? Why can’t men be good at sport and have an idea/something to say about fashion as well? xxx
