Need Inspiration? The TruffleShufflers Have Created Some Retro 80′s Pumpkins To Die For!!!
This week, the TruffleShufflers have been racking their brains and seeking inspiration for that well-known Halloween dilemma, what the hell do I carve into my pumpkin???
Yes, for this week's Friday Facebook competition, everyone at Truffle Towers was given their very own pumpkin with the brief that we had 2 days to design and create a character carving with a retro, 80's spin.
Well, I must say the end results were very impressive! After a week of highly competitive talk and secretive Internet researching, the portly pumpkins have now been papped and released on our Facebook page!
The name of the game is to LIKE or comment on your favourite to help us decide which TruffleShuffler deserves the title of Pumpkin carving chief! The one with the most votes wins the TruffleShuffler a prize and whoever likes or comments on any pumpkin gets popped into a hat and we'll randomly select one of you to win a special Halloween treat! You can enter here until 2pm today so please do get invovled!
So, here are the entries..
What a wünderful advert...
So who's seen the new Müller ad? It's RETROTASTIC!
The company responsible for this advert is Studio TRI. These guys are also responsible for other great ads such as John Lewis' 'Never Knowingly Undersold' TV Advert, Yeo Valley's The Churned 'Forever' X Factor Advert and my current favourite ad the Walls Talking Dog - "Garage" Advert. All of them completely random, but all of them create great talking points.
Anyway, back to the new Müller ad.....
An advert that starts out with K.I.T.T from Knight Rider is 100% bound to capture my attention. But I never expected the ad to contain quite so many cult cartoon characters. Yogi bear is the second surprise in the ad (but sadly lacking a Boo-boo bear), but just as you're trying to figure the link between Knight Rider and Yogi Bear a whole host of boring business men are being turned into Mr Men and Little Miss characters??!?!? The screen is literally bursting with retro cartoon characters!! I counted 19 Mr Men and Little Miss characters, see if you can find more. The ad starts to take a slightly darker turn and needs saving... Who could possibly save the day? Muttley from Wacky Races of course!
To say this ad left me a little shocked and surprised would be an understatement and I don't really care about the what's, where's and why's of this advert and its links to yoghurt but all I know is I like it.
So may I thank Müller and Studio TRI for creating adverts I genuinely enjoy.
Here's the ad in question, enjoy....
Spooky Tees!
To get into the true spirit of Halloween, I have picked out my favourite spooky Halloween TShirts. For those who are not brave enough for full-on fancy dress, have no party to go to or are just too damn cool, these beauties which encompass the themes of horror, ghosts and ghouls and vampires are sure to get your juices flowing!
No Tricks this Halloween....just Treats with our 80's Fancy Dress!
With Halloween fast approaching â we have an office full of very excited TruffleShufflers!
We do love any excuse to get glammed up in Fancy Dress - and with head turning results like this, who could blame us?
Perhaps this year Lee could opt for something a little more...'manly'? (We did have plenty of options available, however this seemed like the best idea at the time!)
Apart from the difficult task of deciding what party you are going to â the most important thing is choosing a costume and as always - TruffleShuffle have it sorted. Whether it be as simple as adding one of our retro wigs to an 80âs-tastic outfit or going all out and dressing up as your favourite Super Hero or 80âs icon, we have lots retro halloween costumes to choose from.
I have decided to ditch the home made costume (involving black bin bags and a whole lot of hard work!) and opt for something a bit more exciting:
