U Got The Look... In Our Awesome New Prince Tees!

What more is there to say about Prince!? Hugely admired and respected by music fans and critics alike, Prince was a musical powerhouse during the 80s scoring hit after hit with his catchy singles combined with a flamboyant stage presence and extravagant dress sense.

He was arguably the biggest pop star on the planet during that time (with tough competition from Michael Jackson and Madonna!). Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret, U Got The Look, how can you choose a favourite single of his when there's so many classics to choose from!?

We've got a huge selection of Music T-Shirts at TruffleShuffle and it made me very excited when we got the opportunity to add some Prince T-Shirts into the mix.

Purple Rain was his sixth studio album and the first to feature his band, The Revolution.  It was also the soundtrack to the film, Purple Rain, which is an absolute 80s classic.  It features the singles When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy and of course the legendary title track, it certainly has it's fans as it's the third best-selling soundtrack of all time!  Pay tribute to this classic album with our T-Shirts which feature the moody and atmospheric cover art.

Happy 70th Birthday Arnold Schwarzenegger! Our Top Arnie Movie Moments...

Would you Adam and Eve it! The action movie hero, the former Mr Universe and total legend of the big screen turns a milestone 70 today.

Body building legend, movie legend and later politics legend, Arnie has been a household name for as long as we can remember which is why we thought we would celebrate his special day with a little look back at some of his top movie moments.

When you look back at some of the films he has not just been a part of, but he has completely made them his own and they would have never been the same without him. It's hard to imagine a movie collection without our hero. So! Before we get blowing out all those candles, let's take a look back at Our Top 10 Arnie Movie Moments...

Clothes, Boots, Motorcycle - Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Now THIS is a classic moment! It takes some serious level of Arnie style to walk into a rough biker bar, steal someone's clothes, bike.... then sunglasses. What. A. BOSS!

Happy Video Games Day! Level Up Your Game With Our Top Gamer Treats...

Happy Video Games Day everyone!!  Whether you're a fan of Nintendo, PlayStation, X-Box, Sega, mobile gaming or even retro classics like Atari or the Commodore, today is the day to shut those curtains tight, stock up on snacks and game the day away!

In celebration I'm going to list the favourite gaming moments I've had throughout my life and would love to hear some of your own!

This is where it all started, my first ever video game on the NES!  A truly iconic game that has stood the test of time, I'll never forget discovering the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time.  Mario is still going strong too, every one of his games is almost guaranteed to be an exciting play!

The very first Pokemon game on the Game Boy!  Everyone had their own favourite starter (mine was Squirtle) and who can forget catching their very first Pikachu!?  There were 151 to catch in this first game (did anyone manage to get a Mew?) which seems like a tiny amount compared to the 800+ there are now!
