Jeremy Scott's Intern Scout Willis
By Kim Hastreiter
I also befriended the very cute 16-year-old Scout Willis, who interned at our department store all day in the Jeremy Scott booth. What a sweetie she is. Super cute and super enthusiastic. She looked adorable in Jeremy's Minnie Mouse helmet. Here she is shot by The Cobrasnake. Cutie, no?

Intern-al Affairs: Introducing the PAPER interns
By Alexis Swerdloff
We here at PAPER love our interns: Namely because they’re hard-working and wear cute outfits. It’s the general rule around these parts to be nice to the interns -- cause sometimes they grow up to be famous (Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, Beth Littleford, actor David Moscow, etc.) and then when we ask them for favors, they will remember how we were nice to them! In all seriousness, our interns rock, and in this regular feature, “Intern-al Affairs,” former intern and current receptionist Blaire Huntley will be introducing you to the PAPER intern crew, one by one. The first ‘tern? Ambreen. Meet her. Know her. Love her.
Name: Ambreen Hussain
Age: I'll never tell.
Hometown: Houston, TX
School: The New School/ Parsons
Title: Web Production Intern
Facebook or MySpace?: MySpace.
Fave blog: Collegecandy.com. No really.
Fave designer: Marni to wear, Hussein Chalayan to watch. I also adore Corey Lynn Calter.
