Exclusive New Jem And The Holograms Clothing For All You 80s Jem-eration Kids
You wanted more....so here they are!
They sure don't make em' like they used to! Move over Beyonce there's a new (old) legend in town!
With sooo much buzz surrounding Jem lately thanks to the simply huuuge retro lovers dream news of their forthcoming feature film (covered on our blog HERE), there has never been a better time to show your love for this amazing group who rocked our world back in the day.
With the cast now revealed, Aubrey Peeples (from Sharknado! Wooo!), Stefanie Scott, Hayley Kiyoko, and Aurora Perrineau will be taking the stage an plugging in their amps to remind us once again just how cool Jem is!
The director is Jon M. Chu, who helmed "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "Justin Bieber's Believe." Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, is one of the producers. An open casting call for the film was put out weeks ago, calling for people to send in videos of themselves. In a YouTube clip, Chu also asked for submissions showcasing people's "creativity," "from writing music to designing costumes."
Moomin' Marvellous! xoxo
As with any great book, it all starts with the creator - and this is no exception! The creator of The Moomins, Tove Jansson - a swedish artist, illustrator, a comic geek started something amazing in 1945 - which to this day is still very much in our hearts! Nowadays, Tove Jansson is the most translated Finnish author of all time; her works can be read in over 30 languages. As well as Moomins, she wrote about other subjects, too, concentrating more and more on adult books in her later years.
Over the 50(ish) years of Moomin-ness - it has definitely earned its place in the golden library, that's for sure! 9 books were released...picture books, comic strips and TV adaptations....impressive huh? Oh, they also have their very own theme park, but they don't like to brag! Moomin World sounds like the kinda place miserable people go to become happy. The park's aim is to implement Moomin philosophy: family unity, non-violence, friendliness, environmental awareness, safety and adventure, as well as values promoting parenting. We recently discovered Moomin World, and can definitely say - if we ever joined a cult...then it would be one full of awesome Moomins.
Whilst dreaming of a land far, far away (Finland) we can only imagine such awesomeness under one 'roof', however - we like to think TruffleTowers has a lot to offer too. From Moomins t-shirts, to Moomin gifts, we really do have something for everyone.

Inspired by Darren Rawlins, Our Favourite Retro Cars Transformed!
Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. Heâs done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what theyâd look like as TRANSFORMERS!
Have a look at his work here.... darrenrawlings.tumblr.com whilst we run down our Top 5 Transformers from Retro Shows Inspired by Darren Rawlins!
.
1) First up, itâs a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâ Party Wagon! Built by Donatello, this awesome van came with all kinds of handy accessories, including missiles, breakaway doors, a radio broadcaster and parts of it could even be used as a ramp to get the Turtles out of trouble! We think the Transformer version would be pretty badass, especially if it had a few karate lessons from Splinter!
2) In a close second, we just had to pick the Batmobile. Itâs been through dozens of crazy incarnations and hosted a vast array of mental weaponry but Darren has opted for the red-detailed one from the 60s TV show and Tim Burtonâs sleek 1989 entry. Now, the TV show Batmobile displayed more gadgets than you can shake a batarang at in its 2 year run on our screens, but Burtonâs incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back. That makes for one pretty terrifying Transformer if you ask us, letâs hope heâs not a Decepticon...
