posted this pic awhile back, but didn't have its name.....
Now I really really really want it!
And there's no match for the photo in the database.
Anybody know the name to shop for?

That looks pretty likely!
I mailed Laszlo directly - he still isn't sure about the name, so I sent him your link.

I wasn't quite sure if the color was right, but it is close...different monitors/camera settings... hope it helps.
Here is another link that may be of use.

I think Heartthrob might be the one.
But even if it's not exactly the one, it's a great one!

Wondering if that's actual color or lighting conditions.....
If it really isn't Heartthrob though, I'm Still hoping someone can identify it.
