10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...Alice In Wonderland
One of our favoutite blogs is back folks! Yep we love nothing more than scurrying about the net in search for some amazing and perhaps little known facts about some of our favourite films, TV show, bands and books in our "10 Things You Didn't Know About..." feature!
This time we've been inspired by our very latest range of exclusive Alice in Wonderland clothing that have just hit our store. Such a timeless classic, we just had to get to work thinking up and creating some fantastic designs that all you fans out there will love just asm uch as we do. So! To get you super inspired and as a slight celebration of our fab new range, check out our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Alice In Wonderland!
1. In the 1930s, the novel was banned in China on the grounds that animals should not use the language of humans!
2. Name change! Before it was called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the author actually named it Alice's Adventures Under Ground. (The characters in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland called it Under Land.)
3. Mock Turtle soup IS REAL! It was a popular dish in Victorian times. It was made from various odd parts of a calf. EEEEW!
4. The 1951 movie adaptation is actually a combination of Lewis Carroll's two "Alice" books, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". Maybe not such a hidden fact but still cool!
5. Since it was first published, Alice In Wonderland has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Amazing! Asombroso! Sorprendente! Incroyable!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 82!
Alphabetti Spaghetti! Looks like the Weekend to me!
Once Upon a cloudy sky. Amongst a thick hazy Forrest, sat hunched over on a hollowed out log, gazing wearily over a steaming boggy marsh. Let us be your be-shaggled woodland Troll as we dribble, droll and blow snot bubbles in anticipation of something slimy and squidgy or boney and crunchy to eat. We'll be poised and ready to pounce onto some cinematic greatness, we'll prepare our nasty nosh with herbs and sprinkles of movie magic before we devoir the whole thing in one single gulp and belch out some celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!
