« Vanessa Paradis Does Not Need Our Pity | Main | Paris Fashion Week featuring Lanvin's Stunning Take on Black »
What a sucker I am. All this time I've been buying my own Cokes and serving myself.
Karl Lagerfeld has the right idea - have your Diet Coke presented to you in the street, IN A CHALICE, and allow a grown man his dignity. His Diet Coke Butler looks prouder than the day he told his parents he was leaving for a career as K.L.'s ponytail checker.
(We know it's Diet Coke because that's all Karl drinks.)
Thanks to Towleroad for a good laugh.

It's taking me forever to read this.
If the whole concept and chalice aren't enough, notice how the 'beverage butler' is averting his gaze in the second photo. Is this in shame, deference, or some combination of the two?
