"   Photo: Assouline  There&amp;#039;s hardly an accessory more classic\u2013or more American\u2013than a cold, refreshing bottle of Coca-Cola. Last night, Assouline held a party to celebrate their new book commemorating all of Coke&amp;#039;s many faces\u2013from sports drink to Pop Art muse\u2013that we&amp;#039;ve come to know over the past 125 years. The book is filled with beautiful, illustrated vintage ads from the &amp;#039;20s, cool contemporary campaigns and photos of virtually everyone from Muhammad Ali to JFK to Naomi Campbell sippin&amp;#039; on the world&amp;#039;s most iconic soft drink. Whitney Port and Kelly Bensimon were on hand to celebrate the launch, mingling with guests in the stark lobby of the Frank Gehry-designed IAC building, admiring the book&amp;#039;s pages blown up on the world&amp;#039;s largest video screen (seriously, it holds the record), and of course, enjoying the free Coca-Cola drinks. &amp;quot;I know I&amp;#039;m not supposed to drink diet coke because I&amp;#039;m supposed to be all healthy but I drink a lot of it.&amp;quot; Bensimon confided to ELLE. &amp;quot;Okay I&amp;#039;m not talking caseloads by the day or anything,&amp;quot; she clarified (with about as much hyperactive energy as some one who might drink a caseload), &amp;quot;But definitely one or two with lunch.&amp;quot; And what pretell does the self-described health nut like to eat with her coke? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m from the Midwest, okay, I like to have my coke with french fries.&amp;quot; Whitney Port&amp;#039;s quite the Coke addict too, it turns out. &amp;quot;I probably have five a week,&amp;quot; she said, but was quick to clarify, &amp;quot;I only drink Coke Zero&amp;#039;s though.&amp;quot; And she too, likes her soft drinks with a side of &amp;quot;anything fried. That&amp;#039;s my biggest indulgence.&amp;quot; I guess we have more in common with Bensimon and Port (and their diets) than we thought, which was a point that Coca-Cola was keen to emphasize last night. Among the many images the brand showcased in their new book and splashed across the video screen last night, was a famous Andy Warhol quote: &amp;quot;You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
