Intern-al Affairs

02 08 07 - 18:42 Hey Nylonees,

Welcome to Intern-al Affairs, our fabulous new intern blog! For now on, this is your source for all things going on inside the NYLON office. Make sure you check it out everyday to see how NYLON churns out your favorite magazine every month!

April, the deputy editor of NYLON is my amazing boss. She’s so busy all the time, so there’s always something to do. My basic duties have a lot to do with researching people, and places for future articles, as well as fact-checking and archiving. As April’s intern, I also get the huge privilege of reading the awesome fan mail. At NYLON, we love to hear what our readers think, good or bad. Not to mention, the letters always come in creative little packages. April gets a TON of mail everyday, and not only from distant admirers, but also from bands and PR companies releasing new CDs. One of the fab perks about working here is that I always get to see what’s coming out in the next few months.

When it does slow down for me, I always pop into the fashion closet to hang out with the Fashion interns, who are always up for celebrity gossip and our Fashion Assistant Nikki (who declined the photo op today). Trips to the closet are one of the best parts of my day, considering I get to sit and watch the gorgeous designer clothes that come shuffling in and out on the hour. Today, the closet was particularly bare, as all of the new shipments were packed up into huge trunks and sent off for a photoshoot. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t be fully stocked with the best selection of runway looks again tomorrow morning.

Yale, half intern, half office coordinator is all amazing. I spent a lot of time this week assisting him with delivering packages around the office and clothes to the closet when they come in. He keeps all the interns in check and takes great care of the adorable NYLON interns, Moses and Abraham (pictures of the doggies are pending). We usually take them for a stroll around SoHo and they get more compliments than any of the models we pass.

Those two precious poochies aren’t the only thing that make working at NYLON different from other magazines. All of the people and interns that work here are so incredible. Stay tuned into the blog to find out what’s going on in our office and to get to know all of the NYLON employees, so you feel like you work here too!
