New In From Pinky And The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain…
Are you pondering what I'm pondering? Wouldn't it be awesome to have some amazing new Pinky And The Brain designs?? Well...Narf said!
That's right you cartoon loving people of the world, they're back and more ready than ever to take over the world! ...which isn't as scary as it sounds.
Ever since the days of sitting in on the floor in front of the TV so close you can hear and feel the static watching the classic Animaniacs toons, Pinky And The Brain have been one of our all-time favourite and memorable cartoons.
With their small world but big plans, we loved their ambitious attitude and their love-hate bromance.
Determined to reach their full potential, Pinky and the Brain follows two captured mice who live in Acme's research Labs where they have been genetically...ermm.... 'altered' to be super intelligent and be able to speak to humans. Normal so far yeh?
The stories follow The Brain's nightly plans to take over the world, usually ending with things being ruined by lovable simpleton Pinky his not so trusty and clumsy cage buddy.
#Fblog Action! Loving our Bruce Springsteen T-Shirt on TillyJayne.com
SPOTTED! Having another little browse through some of our favourite fashion blogs recently, we were stopped in our tracks as we spotted the ever lovely and always looking her best blogger Tilly Jayne rocking one of our Bruce Springsteen T-Shirts in one of her latest looks!
.
Styling up this rock classic, Tilly coupled this iconic band tshirt with a leather gilet, gold watch, gold birkenstocks, black midi skirt and clutch. We love this style as not only does this show the love for one of the biggest rock icons, we can also see just what styles can be created for a humble t-shirt and a bit of inspiration.
Yo, Happy Birthday 68th Sylvester Stallone!
What a man! Yes action-movie hero and all round machine of a man Sylvester Stallone celebrate his 68th Birthday today and we thought, what better time to celebrate a real retro icon!
.
Possibly the ultimate self-made movie star, Stallone has been with us is some of the biggest films (with the biggest budgets) ever and has made himself into some of the most iconic characters through the 70s and 80s and still knows how to do his thing today!
Writing, directing and staring, he has paved the way for his success at every step of the way. After he saw Muhammad Ali fight Chuck Wepner in 1975, deeply inspired, Stallone ran home and three days later had a script for "Rocky.". Amazing stuff and a real turning point in his life which also earned 10 Academy Award nominations and a place in our top movie collections.
It's been a real K.O. of a career for the actor, producer, director, musician, sometimes painter and Boxing Hall of Fame member. So much so we thought we would help remind you guys of just what amazing characters, films and even scenes he has given us over the years. Take a look at some of our personal Sylvester highlights....
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 106
Readers Digest! The weekend has landed!
In a packed out newsagents, smelling of sugary sweets and the the local rags piled on the floor ready for the paper boy. We stand leaning up at the towering shelf of bright and colourful glossy magazines, flicking through the shiny and sharp pages searching high and low as we hunt in desperation for retro movie goodness and as much celluloid wonder as we can get our eager hands on.
Have a happy retro weekend!
