Spooky Tees!
To get into the true spirit of Halloween, I have picked out my favourite spooky Halloween TShirts. For those who are not brave enough for full-on fancy dress, have no party to go to or are just too damn cool, these beauties which encompass the themes of horror, ghosts and ghouls and vampires are sure to get your juices flowing!
No Tricks this Halloween....just Treats with our 80's Fancy Dress!
With Halloween fast approaching â we have an office full of very excited TruffleShufflers!
We do love any excuse to get glammed up in Fancy Dress - and with head turning results like this, who could blame us?
Perhaps this year Lee could opt for something a little more...'manly'? (We did have plenty of options available, however this seemed like the best idea at the time!)
Apart from the difficult task of deciding what party you are going to â the most important thing is choosing a costume and as always - TruffleShuffle have it sorted. Whether it be as simple as adding one of our retro wigs to an 80âs-tastic outfit or going all out and dressing up as your favourite Super Hero or 80âs icon, we have lots retro halloween costumes to choose from.
I have decided to ditch the home made costume (involving black bin bags and a whole lot of hard work!) and opt for something a bit more exciting:
Obsessively Awesome or a Tat Too Far?
I got sent this picture on Facebook the other day as I was wasting away my Sunday with the hope of someone turning up at my door with a hot Roast dinner in hand to cure my hangover.
It made me laugh as it's an awesome idea for a tattoo and in an absolutely perfect position but it got me thinking, just how far are my fellow tat fans prepared to go to show their love for their ultimate pop culture icons?
I didn't have to look hard - appears there are a whole host of fellow nostalgia fans out there who will go pretty damn far in their quest to show their appreciation for all things old school. Here's a few of my favourites.
This full sleeve is made up mostly of Nintendo characters with Megatron randomly chucked in (apparently he was there before the owner of said tattoo decided to go all out with a full sleeve.) Not being a Mario fan as a kid, I guess I always wanted Megatron to turn up at Bowsers castle and show Mario how you start a ruckus so this definitely floats my boat.
Holy nine months of trouble, Batman!
Batman: Arkham Asylum was universally praised for revitalising the superhero genre when it was released in 2009, and follow-up Batman: Arkham City is already being spoken of as being the best release of 2011, even before its official launch according to Gigwise!
One of the most anticipated games of the year, we canât wait to start gliding around the city on October 21st when it's officially released to Bat-fans in the UK!
Get an exclusive look at the game and the Dark Knight in action with this brand new gameplay trailer....
Looking good right!
According to recent reports, the game builds on what we already know and comes complete with a larger area to play, more Bat-skills to test out and gadgets to master. Not forgetting the ability to glide around the city!
âWhen we finished Arkham Asylum, we knew we wanted to take Batman into his spiritual home â Gotham City,â says game director Sefton Hill to The Metro. âBut we know that if we were to deliver the true Batman experience the player would need to have complete freedom to go anywhere and everywhere and that every square inch of the city would need to be realised with the same care and attention to detail as the asylum.â
This time, you also get the option of trying out other characters including the likes of Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing. According to the makers of the game, Rocksteady, 10% of the missions are Catwoman based where she has to climb buildings and crawl along rooftops and Robin and Nightwing will be available in the downloadable content to use on the challenges.
Katy Perry loves our Beans on Toast Ring which is given to her by a fan!
Katy Perry, known for her fashion forward statement looks was snapped out last night sporting our fabulously quirky Beans on Toast ring!
Katy sported the ring after playing her sell out California Dreams Tour @ The Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield and it turns out it was one of our lovely customers Becky who gave it to her. Yup - Becky was lucky enough to have won a meet and greet with Katie before the show during which she gave Katy the ring who loved it so much, she had actual tears in her eyes!
Even more excitingly, Katy herself then tweeted saying..
Yup, the singer instantly adorned her finger with ring and let the world know how much she loved it via Twitter! Cute or what!
A big thank you to Becky for spreading the TruffleShuffle love to one of our favourite pop princesses - follow her on twitter here!
Back To The Future Delorean Up For Auction!
Yes, you read it right! Back to the Future's III's iconic DeLorean is part of the upcoming Profiles in History auction and this awesome piece of movie history is expected to fetch a whopping $600,000 when it goes under the hammer in December!
One of only three of the seven DeLoreans used in the trilogy to survive, it was of course fitted with a flux capacitor and fuelled by plutonium, ready to travel through time when it reached a speed of 88mph.
For fans with slightly less cash to burn, the legendary hoverboard, which featured in Back to the Future Part II, is also on sale and estimated to fetch up to $20,000 (£12,800!) Marty's jacket and the shirt worn by his legendary mentor, Doc Brown are also up for grabs.
The auction is being held to raise money for Michael J Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Fox who played Marty Mc Fly in the awesome movie trilogy went public with his own battle with Parkinson's in 1998 after he was diagnosed seven years previously.
The auction, which will include other items of film memorabilia including a pair of Wizard of Oz ruby slippers, will take place December 15 to 17 so if you're prepared to dig pretty damn deep, keep your eye on the auction site here as more details will be revealed soon.
If however (like us,) these amazing pieces of movie memorabilia are sadly out of reach, never fear! Luckily, you can get your very own little piece of Back To The Future for just £5.99 right here on TruffleShuffle.com!
