PEOPLE WE LOVE: JENNY KRISTINA



Alright, I'm partially featuring this photographer just because she is from Sweden. But she's a brilliant photographer as well as being amazing in the geographic region of her life. Jenny Kristina is definitely a gifted lady. She puts me to shame in making each photograph look fresh and unique. She posesses a certain quality that is definitely her own. I suggest you definitely look at her work. 1918 loves you Jenny! CLICK HERE to visit Jenny's site.

Latest Obsession - Colbert Christmas



Did you see it? The Colbert Christmas special premiered the other night on Comedy Central. It was absolutely hilarious. Colbert featured some of his best friends like Jon Stewart, Willie Nelson, Leslie Feist, John Legend and Elvis Costello! It was thrilling, my favorite part was definitely the opening scene. Oh Joy, I hope you saw it. If not, i'm sure it'll be on a few more times before christmas! You can also buy it HERE for $12.99!

75+ New Items. In Store NOW!



It's about time! You've all probably been wondering why we haven't had anything new in a while. And for the most part it's been because I'm too busy. I was moving and traveling for a while, but now I'm free and ready to be with 1918 all day every day! But anyway, I'd been planning this new shoot for a while, featuring a fox mask and our new model MEGAN! The shoot went well and we now have tons and tons of new stuff for you all. Enjoy!

Live in Dallas?


Oh, what I would give to be a Dallasinite, Dallasian or just a person who lives in Dallas right now. My favorite band, The Polyphonic Spree, is giving their annual Holiday show in a few weeks. This marks the time of the year when I have an unnatural amount of cheer due to the holidays masked by my sorrowful longingness to attend this show. I grew up in Ft. Worth, why couldn't have I just stayed? However, I do like my 4 wonderful seasons that I get out here in Kansas City, I need winter and fall. Texas just wouldn't provide me with that. Anyway, readers out there...if you live in and around the Dallas area, please attend this show. If not for you, attend it for me and tell me it was horrible (just to make me feel better). As for me...i'll just have to wait another year and pretend I'm at the show in my bedroom wearing my Polyphonic Spree robe.

Latest Obsession - Heima







Heima, a film by one of my favorite bands Sigur Ros is the reason for this lovely post. Heima was playing at the AFI fest last year, but I couldn't get tickets in time. I forgot about this film, until last week when I saw it playing on the Sundance Channel. If you don't know much about Sigur Ros, that's okay. Although Heima is mostly Sigur Ros' live performances, it seems like so much more than just that. Heima is a captivating look into a beautful country, Iceland, and its beautiful people. I knew I loved Iceland before this film thanks to Anythony Bourdain and Sam Brown, but I'd never seem Iceland in such a way as I saw it in Heima. The film takes you through a sting of free performances Sigur Ros gave through the beautiful countryside of Iceland. You get to look into the lives and hearts of the Icelandic people and see the natural beauty of the landscapes. Ah, what I would give to be there right now. As the members of Sigur Ros explain, Iceland is a country seemingly untouched by modern mankind. If you're at all interested in Iceland, Sigur Ros or just beautiful things...I highly recommend you find this movie and buy it.
