Megan Heather Denney, took my hand to become Mrs. Henry.

We are very proud to share these pictures with you and hope they make you smile like we do when we see them.…

Lights out, everybody.

On Miskatonic Mondays, we celebrate the "weird" fiction of HP Lovecraft and the genre of otherworldly horror it spawned.

This week, I was thinking to myself, "If I was a dapper elder god, what would I wear to the winter solstice party at the Silver Twilight Lodge?"…

A lot of people ask me about dieselpunk fashion.

What does it look like?  Where do I find it?  How can I dress like a dieselpunk?

Leather jacket and "tit cap" (in Russian called pilotka, i.e. "pilot cap"):

Welcome to Two Fisted Tuesdays, Dieselpunks' weekly beat on the mean streets.

Philip Marlowe is taking a break this week. And while he's taking a breather, crime is running rampant.

In honor of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (and I very well could be talking about the way that box of chocolates looks on February 15th), February is our month to celebrate Gangsters. And when I say Gangsters, I'm talking…

Small and harmless devices can be no less exciting than giant war machines.

Today I invite you to have a look at Curvex watches - a masterpiece of design produced by Gruen company. Let's open a page of the excellent Gruen story by Paul Schliesser:

"By the early 1930s, men's wristwatches had overtaken pocket watches in popularity, although wristwatches were not yet considered…

Lights out, everybody.

On Miskatonic Mondays, we celebrate the "weird" fiction of HP Lovecraft and the genre of otherworldly horror that it spawned.
