You Need Nickelodeon!
Have you got fond memories of rushing home from school and slumping in front of the amazing kids channel Nickelodeon for hours on end? Or maybe you even appreciated the finer points of it's cartoons as an adult, like I do now! Either way, we've got a treat for you to help remember those halcyon days!
First up we have the deliciously dark Invader Zim! This series was about an extraterrestrial named Zim from the Planet Irk, and his ongoing mission to destroy the planet Earth, which (luckily for us) never seemed to go to plan! Our tee features his quirky and loveable robot servant GIR, who was the ultimate fan favourite from the show.
Next up we have the awesomely bright and colourful show Rocko's Modern Life which aired between 1993 and 1996. This show was based around the surreal adventures of a wallaby named Rocko, and his life in the city of O-Town. Originally from Australia, it showed the hardships of Rocko adjusting to the American way of life! Our brand new T-Shirt focuses on Rocko and his faithful dingodog Spunky.

Thereâs a real mixed bag of treats in store including a randy British spy, giant green people, an alien and the Batman, âEver dance with the devil in the pale moon light?â now I love Batman but I still donât know what that line means or why I remember it, anyone help me out with this?!

We thought we would give you a little insight into the summer colours we are loving right now so you too can forget about the dreary weather and brighten up your outfits! ;-)

When TruffleShuffle Hit New York!
Today just last week I was lucky enough to be standing at the front of The Statue of Liberty herself as she gazed across the bay. Believe me I never thought I'd be saying that!
Oh yes, my week long Manhattan NYC adventure saw me up the Rockefeller Center (night) and Empire State (day), shopping in Soho, eating breakfast in Times Square of a morning, walking the High Rise, navigating Central Park, and more! What a dream!
Being such a huge retro fan (obviously) one thing that I was always on the look out for was the retro 80s fashion scene over in the states. Being my first time over the pond, I really didn't know what to expect. Would be be popular? Would they love all the same films and characters?
What awaited me when I hit the streets of Soho was simply amazing! Working at the wonderful world of TruffleShuffle had meant that I'm now pretty accustomed to seeing a huge amount of awesome tees, but this left me standing wide eyed and open mouthed like something out of a cartoon. No really!
Summer's here! Check out our HOT new releases!
It's that time of year for a wardrobe change and what better place to come than TruffleShuffle for some funky, retro beauties to see you through the Summer! We have a great selection of amazing tees and accessories which are perfect for lounging around in the sunshine, feasting out at barbeque's in, hopping along the beach and attending glorious tea parties. Have a look at some of our new additions below for inspiration...
We love the authentic vintage look of Junk Food's tees and this latest collection offers even more with fabulous shapes, music tees and more of those distressed prints of all our favourite retro characters.
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?
And don't forget to check out our exclusive range of official Jem and The Holograms T-Shirts too!
They'e the perfect way to show your appreciation for the punky, pink-haired heroine who sprinkled our childhoods with glitter and gold, fortune and fame!
