We force them into predefined roles and tell them to do what we expect them to. Two artists

Cognac with Rococo not coke

Cognac is drink which demands style; an island of class in a sea of drunk-fueled hazes. With the right suit, the right posse and the right drink you can ensure your night on the town is one Gatsby would envy.
