So for those of you who don't know, here at TruffleShuffle.com, we're named after the one and only TruffleShuffledance, as performed by the incomparable Chunk from The Goonies.......

Yes, our founder loved the iconic movie so much that when it came to coming up for a name for the site back in 2004, Chunk's classic belly shaking move was the only choice and hence TruffleShuffle.com was born.

With that in mind, you can imagine our absolute amazement to discover that none other than Jeff B Cohen AKA the man who played Chunk over 25 years ago is following us on twitter!

MENTAL!

We've even tweeted each other and were completely honoured to send him some of our official Goonies tees including this one of course....

We were left positively drooling at these new arrivals from the super-sweet brand Punky Allsorts! Lovingly hand-made, just like mama's fairy-cakes, these utterly scrumptious delights are the perfect pick-me-up treat (and completely calorie free!)

And, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, these absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic goodies turned up! How we loved building castles from Lego and practicing our Care Bear stares back when we were little!

One of TruffleShuffle's favourite Facebook fans Ashlea Davies has written this amazing poem for us and we wanted to share it with you all as if you are a child of the 80's it will certainly bring back some memories!

The Fresh Prince Of Bell Air,

Is what I really liked,

A true 80's child,

I was totally psyched!

I could rap all the words,

From beginning to end,

It’s out September 12th in the UK but you can pre-order your very own set from Amazon here!

We've got to admit, we'll most probably be suckered into buying this, mainly for the never seen before extras (even though we already seem to have A LOT of Star Wars Movies in our DVD collection) but how about our fellow Star Wars fans?

While catching up on all the news this week TruffleShuffle spotted an amusing story about two of our favourite Sesame Street characters and just had to share it with you! Sesame Street makers have confirmed that Bert and Ernie, best friends forever will not be getting married as was hoped by fans.

The odd pair first appeared on our screens in 1969 with the intention of teaching children that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Despite numerous campaigns and petitions calling for the couple to get married the Sesame Street show makers have decided that the duo shall remain very good friends!

For now the quirky characters including other Sesame Street friends Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar The Grouch and The Count will continue to entertain 120 million viewers across 140 countries, pretty impressive we think.

With such a huge fan base we thought we would introduce our amazing new collaboration with Sesame Street! Exclusive to TruffleShuffle, each limited edition design has been inspired by old school music iconography for the ultimate in 'Street' fashion. Available in both men's and ladies sizes, which one spins your decks?

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street......?!

Here at Truffle Towers we often receive requests for help with charity events and fundraising. As much as we would like to help everyone (and we have a lot of love to give!) it's not always possible however we wanted to share with you one of the recent requests we were able to help with.

The fabulous idea of “SWISHING”! was explained to us by the Bristol Crisis Service for Women Fundraising Team and we love it. The art of “swishing” involves getting together to swap clothes, shoes, bags and accessories meaning you can get a whole new wardrobe for all your old clobber – recycling at its best!!

As well as a fantastic clothes filled evening the fundraising team are also holding a raffle so we have donated a prize of a gift voucher to be spent on our site so even more reason to join in the swishing fun!

Set up in 1986, Bristol Crisis Service for Women was created to support women in emotional distress. The charity aims to offer support to women in need and particularly to those who self-injure. In the UK at least one in every 15 young people has experience of self-injury and this charity with many volunteer workers offers different forms of continuous support for anyone who needs it. For more information about this worthy charity you can visit their website here and if you would like to contact them for information, help or support you can text, email or call them here.

If any of our fans are in the Bristol area on Saturday 17th September and fancy getting in on the Swishing action as well as supporting a fantastic cause why not pop along - be sure to let us know how you get on!
