ABSOLUT GROUPIES is on page 12 of the 15/99 issue (4/8/99) of Stern, a German magazine. This European ad, with a 1997 copyright date, was photographed by Francois Aymi. It depicts a variation on the traditional presentation: the Absolut Vodka bottle is in a white spotlight on a black surface against a black background; however, the back edge of the surface is two-thirds of the way up the ad and forms a horizon. Hundreds of "adoring" vodka glasses form a line, starting next to, and left of, the bottle and extending to the horizon. Groupies are adoring fans who will do anything to be near their idol.
