How wonderful to remember the sensibilities of the denizens of design and to bring them into the 21st century, accompanied by a new design eye. The best of the best brought forward needs always to be tweaked into the new era. Yes?<BR/><BR/>I lost my designer sister several years ago, who adored B.B., and she brought him from the past into the present with such love, devotion and panache.
