Summer Colours To Brighten Your Wardrobe!
Ok, so we know we are not exactly enjoying much of a "Summer" at the moment however we have been brightening up our daily attire with some fabulous new TruffleShuffletees which help to lift the gloom of all this rain! We thought we would give you a little insight into the summer colours we are loving right now so you too can forget about the dreary weather and brighten up your outfits! ;-)
Ladies First - we are old "fashion"ed like that! Whether you look Pretty In Pink, fancy yourself as a bit of a Baywatch babe, Big Bang Theory nerd or just love a bit of Disney and My Little Pony we have the tee for you, which will you choose?
If super bright isn't quite your style you could always opt for a slightly less "in your face" pastel colour which is very much on trend at the moment, see our selection of perfect pastels featuring everything from Button Moon, Raggy Dolls, Moomins, Guess Who, Cluedo and Jem And The Holograms!
If none of these are your cup of "tee" you can check out the full range of Ladies T-shirts on the site to find your perfect summer treat!
Now for the men, whatever your style we have the summer colour to suit. Whether you're more Sesame Street or Simpsons, Superheros or Sports we have it covered with these bright colours featuring Harry Potter, Coca Cola and music tees!
Guest Post – meet the lovely Claire from 80scartoons!
Hiya!
I'm Claire and run 80sCartoons.co.uk which began back in 1998....has it really been that long? I was at art college in Dundee trying to teach myself web design, and had created a little homepage (most likely with a hideous tiled background, blinking text and animated gifs galore!) which mentioned a few of my favourite childhood cartoons
Any visitors that found my site (probably through Alta Vista or Lycos! Life before Google eh!) and signed my guestbook always commented on the cartoons and suggested more of their favourites that I should add...and so it grew from there!
Now it getting over 1,000 nostalgia-hungry visitors every day, and currently has over 8,000 Facebook followers! The demand for all things retro increases every year, especially as sites like TruffleShuffle have so many wonderful 80s goodies on offerto help to keep those memories alive!
Iâve been very lucky while running 80sCartoons, as Iâve managed to speak directly to many 80s cartoons âcelebsâ. If someone told me when I was 8 years old, that one day Iâd be talking directly with the maker of Button Moon, the animator of the Raggy Dolls, the creator of Jimbo and the Jet-Set the list goes on... I would have fallen off my rollerboots!
Iâve interviewed Terry Brain, who co-created Trap Door, which was a special treat for me as I was a huge fan back in the day. He also animated Stoppit and Tidyup, and went on to work for Aardman animation â that man is a legend! Amonst other things, he told me that Berk, Boni, Drutt & the big sponge were his favourite character creations and that his favourite Trap Door episode was 'Bye Bye Berk'!
