The Diet Coke Register

IN GOOD STANDING

BAD STANDING

“

For four years, I threw myself into General Magic. I learned and screwed up and worked and worked and worked. Ninety, 100, 120 hours a week. I never liked coffee, so I survived primarily off Diet Coke. A dozen a day (for the record, I haven’t touched the poison since).

And one aspect of the folklore that surrounds her is entirely true: in all my time in the fashion industry, I have rarely come across anyone who is so constantly vigilant about their appearance. She requests a straw with every Diet Coke, presumably to avoid dislodging her lipstick. When we met for coffee recently, she had Harper on her knee throughout, and while one hand stroked and petted and rearranged her baby daughter, the other hand just as constantly stroked and petted and rearranged her carefully tonged glossy curls, to make sure they lay just-so over her other shoulder.

One time, when I was on Martha Stewart's show, she visited me in the greenroom. I threw out my arms to embrace her, but in lieu of a greeting she asked with a tone of horror, "Who let you in here with that?" She pointed to the Diet Coke I was drinking. "No one," I said. "Someone brought it to me." "W-what?" she stammered. "I don't allow Diet Coke in this studio. It's not to be anywhere around me. I'm going to find out who's done this."

I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed. I can even drink it in the middle of the night, and I can sleep. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink tea, I drink nothing else.
