Well tickle my chin and slap my thigh! Another looooong retro movie weekend is here! Again... so soon!

Grabbing one of the many long, colourful and historic Maypole ribbons, we line up alongside our fellow pole friends as we prepare to begin our routine. Striding, ducking and turning, we'll slowly and majestically begin to create something magical. Watching the colours wind and intertwine as we go like the plot of a top classic movie, we'll worth together, side by side to create our masterpiece. Finally, with each strand complete, we will have created something wonderful, neatly wrapped up ready to be captured onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Take to the skies! Another retro movie weekend is among us!

With a zip and a clip, we've packed our bags for another long and adventure filled journey through the retro movie jungle that be before us. Taking just the bare essentials with us... which is still more than you expect, we'll begin our tour through far and distant lands. Stopping for only refreshments, we will masterfully hack our way through the cinematic wonder as we reach our final destination, only to gaze and stare at the majestic celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Here it is! For those of you who haven't been following our little mini blog post series, we've been slowly but surely working our way through all the lovely names and faces of the TruffleShuffle dream team.

Taking a little time each month to put one unsuspecting victim member of staff in the spotlight, where we've been firing a whirlwind of questions at them and see what spins back out, just so you lovely lot can see just who is behind the scenes here at TruffleTowers.

This time it’s the turn of the logistical brain powerhouse Amy.... good luck! :)

What do you do here at Truffle Towers?

Where to start! As one of the original Trufflers I started as Customer Service Manager however as the business grew and Michelle (our Customer Service Guru... who's interview can be found HERE) arrived I moved on to looking after our warehouse and helping improving the website and more recently becoming a world class nag to our suppliers, chasing up deliveries and ensuring stock arrives to keep our warehouse full of goodies.

A very sad day here at TruffleTowers, we recently learnt about the passing of one of our most-loved and globally cherished Oscar-winning actors and comedian Robin Williams.

Over the years and for as long as we can remember, he has given us some of the very best movie characters and performances. He was surely one of the greatest performers ever and has been described by many as a genius in his field. He will be greatly and deeply missed by all.

To help celebrate this great man and pay tribute to his outstanding career, we thought we would put together just a few of our favourite moments and characters for all to see. Take a look at some of our top Robin Williams memories and relive these classic moments....

Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!

First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)

Out of Print t-shirts

Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt.  I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.

Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them.  Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!

What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe!  It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.

Now some of these may be hard and frankly a little painful to believe that they first entered our lives wayyy back in 1993. Doesn't seem that long ago right? Well sadly that was 20 years ago and it's actually amazing just how much we still love these films even now, just goes to show just how amazing they are.

Take a little trip down memory lane with us as we've picked out some of out top films that are turning 20 years old this year...enjoy!

Jurassic Park

It stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Ariana Richards, Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero and Bob Peck.
