    A teeny thing 'counter-vintage' about you?

    Sorry Lady Day, there are so many great threads here at the lounge and so little time, I'd sort of stopped following this one... Thanks for the compliment, and the suggestion! I worked for a summer doing layouts for my university's campus paper, and I really enjoyed it. Always have been...
