Re-run the Fun! Fun House is BACK (with Pat Sharp too of course!)
If just hearing the words Fun House brings back that rosy glow of childhood nostalgia then boy do we have a treat for you!
Hosted by the legend that is Pat Sharp along with his faithful sidekicks, the unforgettable blonde cheerleader twins Melanie and Martina, it featured frankly amazing games that any kid would give his right arm to play, not forgetting of course the excellent final go-cart battle....
A game! AND a race! A real wacky place!The show had a very credible ten year run from 1989 to 1999 but just when you thought that it was doomed to only live on in your childhood memories forever, we're bringing it back in T-Shirt form!

Maternity Styling Tips from TruffleShuffle.com
Here at TruffleShuffle.com, we get regular emails from yummy mummies-to-be wanting to know whether we have a range of maternity tees to accommodate their growing bumps.
While we don't have a specific range of maternity wear as yet - thanks to a baby boom here at Truffle Towers - we've realised that tonnes of our Tees and Clothing work brilliantly even when you are pregnant so we couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek into the TruffleShuffle teams maternity wardrobe to give you guys some tips on how to make the most of all our amazing retro gear when you're pregnant!
Our new range of fun and funky pullovers and sweaters are proving to be very popular maternity wear for the growing bumps in our offices. When it comes to shopping for maternity clothes, mums to be know that affordability, practicality and comfort are key and even at 6 months pregnant, I'm still finding my Jem pullover super comfy (it's composed of a super soft and stretchy cotton - ideal for wrapping around your sensitive tummy.)
I'm normally a UK size 10 so would usually buy a size small but by going for a size large, I reckon this will do me right through to the end of my pregnancy quite easily. They sit really nice and long on the body so there's lots of room to accommodate you as you grow and the best thing is - I know I'll still get loads of wear out of it when the baby is born because a girl can never have too many slouchy sweaters - in fact it will be perfect for layering when the winter months draw in!
With a huge range of fun prints on offer, shop our full range of retro pullovers here - all of which are available up to a UK size 20! Just remember - as you get further through your pregnancy you can always buy a size or two up from what you normally would to accommodate your growing bump!

If Jem And The Holograms was made into a movie...
We've just come across these amazing photos by the ultra talented darkodark which we couldn't resist sharing with you guys!
He's mocked up a whole host of different celebrities as if they were the cast of a live action Jem And The Holograms movie and don't they all look amazing.
The likes of Rihana, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga look as if they were born to be the various characters - so much so that it seems crazy that a movie hasn't actually been made already.
Anyway - check out the photos below and let us know your thoughts in the comments box!
Would you want to see a Jem movie and if so - do you think these celebs would work in the starring roles?

The TruffleShuffle My Little Pony!
There are a LOT of My Little Pony fans here at Truffle Towers so when one of our lovely customers who has her own business making custom Ponies got in touch with us, offering to make us our very own TruffleShuffle Pony - unsurprisingly, we leapt at the chance!
Victoria who runs Equine Vulgarity is a master of creating bespoke versions of the cartoon cuties we all grew up with so we asked her to come up with an 80's tastic Pony to become the Truffle Towers unofficial mascot!
Check out her masterpiece below...
Isn't she a beauty!
She comes complete with a neon mane, beaded accessories, bright leg warmers and her very own old school pink visor - a true 80's vision!
Now all that remains is to give her a name - what do you think guys? We'd love to hear your suggestions!
