...evening, she recounted how she gained access to an “exclusive” dance club in Miami this past Columbus Day. Then came unsolicited advice: “You would have to wear khakis and a dress shirt at least.” The pungent scent of vodka wafting from her unshuttable trap was almost enough to intoxicate everyone else on board...
...Just because Helmut Newton is 80 and has a major new show of his work doesn't mean he's getting soft. Hardly. One of his landscapes, The Grim Reaper, above, was shot for Absolut Vodka.

They drank vodka and orange juice while enjoying the show. So were these guys really religious zealots?
