Who Ya Gonna Call?
This week we've just launched a brand new collection of Ghostbusters T-shirts from Fame and Fortune. Of course this got everyone in the office buzzing, but I was most excited of all cause designing these Tees was my first ever project for TruffleShuffle! Seeing the final results of my work is such a great feeling and it took me back to when I had just started working here as a designer. For me there couldnât have been a more perfect starting point as I am a huge fan of the classic film, I remember that I couldnât wait to get started!
The first step towards building a new collection of tees is to really research your subject, so luckily for me it was the perfect opportunity to spend an evening in and watch the film again for the 100th time, any excuse will do! I knew there were a number of bases I had to cover, everyone loves Stay Puft, Slimer is a definite and we really wanted to see the Ecto-1, but it was really useful (and fun) to see the film again as it refreshed my mind and reminded me of some really classic catchphrases and scenes. It was the best way to get me back in the Ghostbusting state of mind!
As well as the ultra popular âWho ya gonna call?â and âI ainât afraid of no ghostâ I loved the phrases âDonât cross the streamsâ and âWhen the light is green the trap is cleanâ and was determined to get them included on one of the tees!
I also included the Ghostbusters Montage design to show our four heroes fighting against some of the monsters from the film as well as a special appearance from the ghost best know from the films main logo!
Fame & Fortune with TruffleShuffle
Blogging for Wardrobe Mag & TruffleShuffle, I find myself in front of the camera a lot awkwardly posing in the most beautiful of clothes. So when those lovely folks at the TruffleShuffle towers asked me to think of ideas for my next guest post, I had a slightly different proposalâ¦
Instead of being in front of the camera, I thought wouldnât it be refreshing for everyone to have a break from my lovely mug (ahem) and give someone else a go. Now before you pull that confused expression hear me out.
With it being summer (you know that brief period in our yearly calendar when this strange yellow thing called the Sun comes out and weâre all so happy and hot) I thought it would be cool to maybe do a mini photo-shoot. I also thought it would be perfect to show you male TruffleShufflersâ how some of the menâs tees look worn on.
As a keen photographer, I offered to âget my pap onâ and take the pictures. With TruffleShuffle providing the t shirts it was just the models left to gather. Unfortunately Kate Moss was busy back then with her pending nuptials but step forward two of the Wardrobe Mag girls: Steph and Bhavna. Now getting a bunch of guys to model wasnât as easy as I thought it would be but three superhero studs came to my rescue. Once again thank you Anthony, Alex and Kieran.
Now where does one do a super cool summer photo-shoot at? Well the park of course! Where else can we mix a bit of business and pleasure? Just a shame the kiddies had taken over the swings and slides, how inconsiderate.
Retro Toys And Tea-Time Treats From Punky Allsort
We were left positively drooling at these new arrivals from the super-sweet brand Punky Allsorts! Lovingly hand-made, just like mama's fairy-cakes, these utterly scrumptious delights are the perfect pick-me-up treat (and completely calorie free!)
And, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, these absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic goodies turned up! How we loved building castles from Lego and practicing our Care Bear stares back when we were little!
Ode To The 80's
One of TruffleShuffle's favourite Facebook fans Ashlea Davies has written this amazing poem for us and we wanted to share it with you all as if you are a child of the 80's it will certainly bring back some memories!
Is what I really liked,
A true 80's child,
I was totally psyched!
I could rap all the words,
From beginning to end,
Bert and Ernie will not marry!
While catching up on all the news this week TruffleShuffle spotted an amusing story about two of our favourite Sesame Street characters and just had to share it with you! Sesame Street makers have confirmed that Bert and Ernie, best friends forever will not be getting married as was hoped by fans.
The odd pair first appeared on our screens in 1969 with the intention of teaching children that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Despite numerous campaigns and petitions calling for the couple to get married the Sesame Street show makers have decided that the duo shall remain very good friends!
For now the quirky characters including other Sesame Street friends Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar The Grouch and The Count will continue to entertain 120 million viewers across 140 countries, pretty impressive we think.
With such a huge fan base we thought we would introduce our amazing new collaboration with Sesame Street! Exclusive to TruffleShuffle, each limited edition design has been inspired by old school music iconography for the ultimate in 'Street' fashion. Available in both men's and ladies sizes, which one spins your decks?
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street......?!
YOU EEDIOT!!
There was an air of happy happy joy joy when we heard Chunk were doing a range of Ren and Stimpy tees. To celebrate hereâs a cocktail of moments to remind you of the intense, sometimes gross comedy of the psychotic Chihuahua Ren and his dim witted life partner Stimpy.
I canât believe we got to watch this as kids, the twisted, disturbing and most of the time disgusting humor of Ren and Stimpy is firmly lodged in the nasal cavity of our generations subconscious mind!
If you remember any gross out Ren and Stimpy moments be sure to let us know and donât forget to cast your grubby eyes over our new Chunk range of Ren and Stimpy tees including the especially for us, exclusive ladies designs!
