I sold vintage modern furniture, designed by important folks, for a very long time and that would be like discovering Ray and Charles Eames, long into my career-Call me old fashion.

Clearly an outstanding sensibility at work here; delighted with your edgy, compelling lens on the genesis of modernism and your elegant, spare admixture of the canonical with the undiscovered. Dig the swank babe pics, too. Bravo, gentlemen.
