**Newsflash** Tinkerbell has stolen Peter Pans wardrobe.



Either Disney has decided Tinkerbell's attire was to 'saucy' or they’ve just decided to make their feminine characters more masculine.

Either way, the new and frankly unimproved uniform and image of Tinkerbell leaves a lot to be desired from the formerly cute minidress clad nymph.  The new image is just plain silly.  It’s not even that different from Peter Pan. They've crazily opted to ditch the cute strapless green dress, the magic wand, and very visible angel wings. And now, there’s this stupid-looking visor/hat contraption.  Disney said it wanted to give “Tink” a tomboyish look.  Um, ok......



Yes, Disney claims that it’s new Tinkerbell release out on end of October takes place in the autumn when weather is cooler, but the weather has never affected Tinkerbell couture before. It’s a cartoon character, not a weather dependent human.

What is going on????????

How to do the TruffleShuffle….

As we're sure many of you have already guessed - we're named after a very special scene from the 80's classic, The Goonies!

Ever had the urge to re-create Chunk's infamous TruffleShuffle (Do it!!) - well now you can with this hillarious step by step guide which we just found on here...

Step 1
Stand on something like a milk crate or soapbox with your feet together and knees slightly bent.

Step 2
Lift your shirt up to your chin exposing your belly and man-boobs.

(Note: Ladies, it is acceptable for you to just lift your shirt up to your chest exposing only your midsection. But it is generally not recommended for women to do the Truffle Shuffle, it is not a very flattering dance).

Step 3
Rapidly shake your belly and butt while wildly moving your torso from side to side. It should appear that you are having a seizure, but remain standing with your feet in one place.

Step 4 (This is our favourite!)
Scrunch up your face like an angry chipmunk or deranged woodchuck.

Step 5
Make incoherent sounds as if you just stepped out of a cold shower or are speaking in tongues.

Step 6
In the immortal words of Clark ‘Mouth’ Devereaux, - “Do it! DO IT!”

Still stuck - just copy the big man himself...



If you do give it a go, send us your pictures or videos for a chance to win one of these beauties....



Over and out....
