James Kurisunkal Is Interning At 'New York'

In the Times magazine this weekend, we learned that "it is possible to move out of the class you were born into, either up or down... but the transition almost always means a great disruption to your sense of self. And you can ascend the class ladder only if you are willing to sacrifice many of your relationships and most of your values—and only if you first devote yourself to careful study of the hidden rules of the class you hope to enter." Also, we hear that rising U of Illinois sophomore and Park Avenue Peerage blogger James Kurisunkal has transitioned from New York magazine profile punchline to New York magazine intern. Congratulations, James!

Glamour

'Glamour' Editor And Former Intern Spar Blogstyle

Glamour executive fashion director at large Suze Yalof Schwartz has some choice words for Julie Fredrickson, who interned at Glamour once upon a time for four days before discovering "just how much like pledging a sorority" the experience is. Julie's now gainfully employed at fashion blog Coutorture, which she co-founded. Suze congratulates her on her success, then calls her out on being a total spoiled brat. more »

As If Interning Weren't All About Being Buttraped

Great piece in the Post today on interns, many of whom suffer terrible indignities for little or no pay. I know, can you believe it? The story, written by Veronica Thew and Christopher Cassuto (we want to know which one came up with the line, "The devil, it seems, doesn't always wear Prada;" it's both humorous and timely!) is full of anecdotes from actual interns about the actual abuse they've endured. This one caught our eye: more »

Wenner Media

If You See Theo Around the Office, Say a Friendly Hello

theowenner2.jpgHello there, laddy! The strapping young buck at right is Theo Wenner, son of Jann and Jane Wenner and Rolling Stone photo intern extraordinaire. It's hard to know much more about Theo as his Facebook profile can only be viewed by his 131 friends (popular!), but some commenters have noted that he's the co-creator of SelfPortrait.net, loves the Ramones and identifies himself with Bard '05 when he's actually in the class of '09 (so punk, dude). He loves Fellini and included amongst his heroes is Abe Lincoln -- you know, reminds him of Dad. more »

Children of the Ruling Class: 'Vanity Fair' Will Always Out-Nepotism Its Competition

20060627vf.jpgAmid the excitement over Jade Frampton at Elle and Meghan McCain at Newsweek, we would be remiss to not note the latest crop of notables at Vanity Fair, already the stomping grounds of Cate Edwards, some Katzenberg, and who knows how many others. Arianna Huffington, at last week's Slate panel on the future of print, mentioned that her daughter is interning at VF this summer; we've confirmed she's talking about 16-year-old Christina, who was also photographed in the magazine back in December. Plus, we're pleased to introduce a new assistant: Young Liz Hanks. more »

No doubt she's excited to be there, but we wonder just how excited Newsweek is to have her. No one likes a maverick and outspoken intern. more »
