The weekly retro movie rundown 5!
Well, if the weather keeps up this nice warm summery fuzzy feeling then I donât doubt weâll be spending our time outside enjoying a B.B.Q, playing some frisby and falling asleep in the garden trying not to get burnt. But, as ever if Mother Nature's mood changes and you're compelled to come inside weâve compiled a list of pure Retro Movie Entertainment for your peeping pleasure. Including everyone's favourite bird flipping orangutan, skate boarding caveman, and just because I havenât quite got over how awesome Avengers was the equally awesome Fantastic Four.
SATURDAY 26th MAY
Stargate (1994) ITV4 2:45pm-5:10pm (2 hours 25 minutes)
An Egyptologist and a soldier head an expedition through a mysterious portal to an alien planet. The world they find resembles ancient Egypt, and is under the sway of a tyrant who has convinced the downtrodden inhabitants that he is a god - until the humans incite the enslaved populace to fight back. Sci-fi adventure, starring Kurt Russell, James Spader and Jaye Davidson.
Every Which Way But Loose (1978) ITV4 5:45pm-8:00pm (2 hours 15 minutes)
A street-fighting trucker and his beer-drinking orang-utan companion set out on a cross-country road trip to find a runaway woman, while a motley gang of bikers and two vengeful cops follow in hot pursuit. Action comedy, starring Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis and Beverly D'Angelo.
Another Stakeout (1993) Film4 6:45pm-9:00pm (2 hours 15 minutes)
Guess Who's Back!?
We're so excited to present these brand new and exclusive Guess Who T-Shirts based on the classic game which first came out in 1979 and was a big hit in the 80s.
Memories will instantly come flooding back when you gaze at the line-up featuring old favourites such as Anita, Carol, Mike and Dick. It'll get you asking all the tried and tested questions such as "Are you a man?", "Do you have a bald head?", "Do you have a beard?", which of course would mean you'd ended up with Dick.
Currently available on Ladies Light Pink and Mens Khaki we think these tees are the perfect retro treat and sure to get your friends or family trying to Guess Who their favourite character used to be!
Wow! New in: Punky Pins, The Beatles, Labyrinth and Retro Sunglasses
This month we have been very, very busy bees! Have a look at what's new...
Punky Pins invaded the independent fashion scene with a range of kitsch accessories in 2005. Produced and handmade in-house in their fast paced design studios, Punky Pins offers fresh, fun, cutting edge designs that can't be found on the high street. Our new collection consists of 11 individual and quirky pieces which have a nostalgic, retro feel. Click HERE to see the full range.
The TruffleShuffle My Little Pony!
There are a LOT of My Little Pony fans here at Truffle Towers so when one of our lovely customers who has her own business making custom Ponies got in touch with us, offering to make us our very own TruffleShuffle Pony - unsurprisingly, we leapt at the chance!
Victoria who runs Equine Vulgarity is a master of creating bespoke versions of the cartoon cuties we all grew up with so we asked her to come up with an 80's tastic Pony to become the Truffle Towers unofficial mascot!
Check out her masterpiece below...
Isn't she a beauty!
She comes complete with a neon mane, beaded accessories, bright leg warmers and her very own old school pink visor - a true 80's vision!
Now all that remains is to give her a name - what do you think guys? We'd love to hear your suggestions!
Minimalist Superheroes
There's nothing I like more than Trawling the internet for random pictures and videos. And every so often you find fresh artistic talent that just catches you eye, in this case made even better by its retro inspired theme. These Minimal Superhero Posters by art student Calvin Lin perfectly demonstrate my point.
The minimalist designs are great, from Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman to Green Lantern and others, every poster is also 100% clear, without ever showing too much.
I don't know about you, but I'd love these hung around my house!
Sneaky Disney Couture Preview!!
We get hugely excited at TruffleShuffle Towers at the arrival of new jewellery, especially Disney Couture with its beautiful pieces and fabulous attention to detail. The latest collection that we are expecting in the coming weeks is based on Snow White, Cinderella, Tinkerbell and Winnie The Pooh! I have a few pictures to share with you and thought you might like a sneaky peak so you know what to expect and perhaps add to your wishlists!
The range includes rings, necklaces, bracelets and bangles featuring gold plated, silver plated, crystals and silk so there is sure to be something for everyone with prices starting from just £23.00!
