Yes!!

Ooh La La!
It's Princess Sean Avery!


Before we continue to digress, ESPN decided to show this fashion piece on Sean Avery instead of doing the obvious preparation for hockey season. And yeah, we all knew some interesting things about Sean during his tenure here. The women he dates, the clothes he wears, etc.

But the truth has finally come out, and it's all good reason to either no longer be fearful of him, or even more so.

He admitted that he never thought he was gonna be an athlete growing up. He was more into dressing up his babysitters' dolls then rolling around in the mud with Tonka Trucks. His young boy hobbies were not collecting baseball cards or playing with Batman action figures. He enjoyed the fine, vibrant, silky smooth looks of women's clothing.

"It's probably my desire for dress up that brings me back to women's clothing," said Avery in the interview.

Handbags, sun bonnets, and evening gowns. Just a few of Sean's many passions off the ice. It was even on his mind during last year's playoffs when he decided to write a letter to the editor of fashion magazine Vogue asking if he could intern with them.

He spent the entire summer critiquing high heels and coach bags, and when New York Fashion Week came along, he was sitting alongside Wynona Rider and Martha Stewart watching the clothes go by on the runway.

Well, we all know if he was commissioner of the NHL, he'd be able to beat out Bettman for Best Dressed. He also thinks he would do a much better job at marketing the sport. Of course, even a mule could do a better job than Bettman.

Avery stated "They haven't figured it out that villains and heroes are what sells...Nobody cares about Jarome Iginla and guys like that. They're just not exciting enough."

Wow. Good point. The only time I ever really cared about Jarome Iginla was when I had the seventh pick in my fantasy draft and he was the best available.

So when the Stars come to town October 20, the Rangers have nothing to worry about. If Avery gets in someone's face, it probably because their skate laces didn't match their jersey stripes, or their helmet is the wrong tint of blue.

It's sad to see, but the current style trends are much more complex then a Scandanavian mullet and a gapped-tooth grin.
