If Dawn Were Here…

Does anyone know what magazine these are from?  An exhaustive three minute Google search yielded nothing.  But the interview is hiliario.

I always unpack in the bathroom.

Dawn would be proud of me for posting this.  She’s all kinds of busy with a shiny new job while Ovi is just hanging around the WUYS office in fancy dress, waiting for her to play air hockey.  He’s all shined up and… wait.  Oh.  Here he is from Friday carving a pumpkin (@DesignoAbe):

How many cameras are on you?

    I wish you didn’t point out his feet. *shudder*
    He resembles a house-elf, but really, it’s hard not to like him.

    • Thanks! As much as he is the missing link, he looks kinda good in some of these pictures.

  3. Three things I learned:
    1. Ovi does not discriminate
    2. He does in fact prefer shirts to pants (interesting…)
    3. He’s become really obsessed with Air Jordan brand lately.

    I think it’s from GQ, but I could be wrong. There is a video out there of a “behind the scenes” of this photo shoot.

    • Found it!http:
      //www.russianhockeyfans.com/nhl/video-of-alexander-ovechkins-photo-shoot-for-mens-journal-47.html

      The photos were in Men’s Journal.

      • Crud. Totally didn’t realize that someone posted the link. And here I am thinking I’m so smooth…
        I’ll stop with the spam. :]

    Thanks Pants. I really enjoyed this. Air Jordan because he’s sponsored by Nike now. He is adorable and I will find some time to post soon – hopefully. I had no idea how busy i’d be. Shocking when they compare it to drinking from a firehose! yeah … and this is supposed to last three months until I’m ‘acclimated’ …. :0
