Jonathan Ames Drinks Absinthe, Does Coke With Marilyn Manson

Is Jonathan Ames following in Chuck Klosterman‘s Chuck All-Stars? The latest Spin magazine features a cover story by Ames on Marilyn Manson, the controversial Goth-rocker who appeared to be enamored with the New York-based humorist and writer.

Since the entire article isn’t online, here’s a handy guide to what we learned about Ames and Manson:

• Manson has a live-in assistant/butler named Arvin.
• Arvin keeps the absinthe flowing.
• A German distillery is developing a Manson-branded absinthe: Mansinthe?
• Manson’s mansion is as creepy and weird as you’d imagine.

• Manson’s sexual fetish? Women’s stockings.
