Blogging for Wardrobe Mag & TruffleShuffle, I find myself in front of the camera a lot awkwardly posing in the most beautiful of clothes. So when those lovely folks at the TruffleShuffle towers asked me to think of ideas for my next guest post, I had a slightly different proposal…

Instead of being in front of the camera, I thought wouldn’t it be refreshing for everyone to have a break from my lovely mug (ahem) and give someone else a go. Now before you pull that confused expression hear me out.

With it being summer (you know that brief period in our yearly calendar when this strange yellow thing called the Sun comes out and we’re all so happy and hot) I thought it would be cool to maybe do a mini photo-shoot. I also thought it would be perfect to show you male TruffleShufflers’ how some of the men’s tees look worn on.

As a keen photographer, I offered to “get my pap on” and take the pictures. With TruffleShuffle providing the t shirts it was just the models left to gather. Unfortunately Kate Moss was busy back then with her pending nuptials but step forward two of the Wardrobe Mag girls: Steph and Bhavna. Now getting a bunch of guys to model wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be but three superhero studs came to my rescue. Once again thank you Anthony, Alex and Kieran.

Now where does one do a super cool summer photo-shoot at? Well the park of course! Where else can we mix a bit of business and pleasure? Just a shame the kiddies had taken over the swings and slides, how inconsiderate.

Leave our favourite 80's films alone! Will they ever learn?

Here at TruffleShuffle we usually have mixed opinions when it comes to classic films being remade, however this time.....it seems we are all singing from the same song sheet!

If, like us you watched Dirty Dancing at least once a month as you were growing up – you’ll join us in thought when we say this iconic film should be left well alone. They can’t re-create moments like these, and even if they could – we wouldn’t want them to!

The new film will be directed by Kenny Ortega – who was the choreographer in the original film (this can only be a good thing.....surely?),  so hopefully he will be able to recreate the smallest spark of magic that existed in the original film. Since then - he has worked with some impressive musicians - among them being Madonna and Michael Jackson.

So who will play Johnny and Baby? If we are to believe the favourites, then it looks like Justin Timberlake and Myley Cyrus may take the lead roles. What I personally love about the original, even from the Iconic 'I carried a Watermelon' moment - is how quirky Jennifer Grey appears in the film. When playing the part of Baby, she wasn't outrageously 'Hollywood' - she was the girl next door, and we loved her for it. When you add Patrick Swayze, in all his rugged glory to the mix - it instantly becomes a winning combination - that we don't think can be created again.

The TruffleShuffle gang have been excitedly waiting for the release of the new Captain America movie. Having watched the trailer months ago we have been eagerly anticipating a staff night out to the flicks, after the rave reviews, bring on the pop corn, hurry up 5pm - we are off tonight!!

For those of you who might not have seen it here is a little taster:

We shall of course be wearing a selection of Captain America t-shirts, strategically planned so as not to commit a fashion faux pas in turning up in the same outfit - error!

Here are some of our favourites, not forgetting the Marvel accessories to complete the overall superhero look!

Have any of you seen it, what did you think?

So has anyone been watching the new small screen version of Teen Wolf?

Obviously, here at TruffleShuffle, we're HUGE fans of the original movie so it was with some trepidation that we thought we'd give the new TV version a go. It premiered in the states back in June on MTV and it's now being shown over here on Sundays and Thursdays on Sky Living at 8pm!

The story centres around socially awkward Scott McCall (played by Tyler Posey who also appeared in Maid in Manhattan, Brothers and Sisters), the quintessential outsider, whose life is turned upside down after a terrifying encounter with a werewolf. To Scott’s amazement, his body begins to develop super-human abilities overnight. Life has never been so good for once unnoticed Scott, who, thanks to his new found success in the school lacrosse team soon becomes the most popular and desirable guy in school.

If that's whet your appetite, here's the trailer.....

Will his new gift prove to be a blessing or a curse though? Only time will tell!

This July, there's excitement brewing in the TruffleShuffle office... On the 29th of July the man who is not afraid to mix stripes with stars will be hitting the big screens all around the UK. Some may think this is some kind of fashion faux-pas, but for Captain America it’s the only option....

So with the movie just around the corner, what better time for me to fill you in on a bit of background information on this fighter for Liberty and Justice..... Captain America's real name is Steve Rogers. During World War 2 Rogers was turned away by the US military for being too sickly and weak but Rogers was given a second chance to serve his country by joining a top secret military project to create the world’s first super soldier. The procedure involving Super-Soldier Serum and "Vita-Ray" treatment was a success but the experiment was ambushed by the evil Red Skull (Head of Nazi terrorist activities, the commander of terrorist organization HYDRA & soon to become Roger's greatest foe). Unfortunately for Red Skull, the scientists were also killed during the ambush taking the super soldier formula with them.

Powers

The serum and ray treatment turns Roger's into the pinnacle of human perfection, giving him super human strength, speed, agility and extraordinarily keen reflexes and senses. He has blended judo, western boxing, kickboxing, and gymnastics into his own unique fighting style and has also trained in multiple martial arts and weapons training. His weapon of choice is possible one of the most iconic in the Marvel universe, a shield.
