Are you trying to tempt me? Be careful, my friend...Evening Light is the beginning of Vlad's Reign! Best, V.D

Prowling that certain auction of lies site for pieces that are covered with food, sweat and dirt and have not been machine polished, frankened or redialed. Or, you could say sifting through the mud. Take them home, clean and delouse, new seals, crowns, et...

That kind of mystical, elusive or something feel that beckons interest. I don't have a vintage Constellation but am seriously considering a contemporary one from the 2009 collection. It's probably to JLC now, whether or not I like one of their new launche...
