Comic Con 2011!
If youâre anything like us then you'll be eagerly waiting for the 42nd annual San Diego Comic Con to begin next weekend! For those not in the know, Comic Con is for anyone who's really into comic book, films, TV shows, and anything else nerdy! It's basically a huge gathering (over 120,000 strong so really, really HUGE!) of enthusiasts (generally dressed up as their favourite characters) all coming together to share their stories and trade their wares. The best bit is that you get to meet the creators, artists and stars of some of these amazing productions which is why it's such a mecca!
Originally started by a group of comic book fans in the San Diego Area, the first convention was held in the basement of the U.S. Grant Hotel with an attendance of just 300 people.The convention has moved about throughout the years, going from the U.S. Grant Hotel to the University Of California At San Diego and finally to the San Diego Convention Center. In that time, it has grown to an attendance of over 100,000 people and has expanded to four days. It has now become the largest comic book convention in the world so it's pretty special!
So are any of you lot going this year and if so - seeing as it's pretty much obligatory to dress up, we figured we'd run down some of our favourite Fancy Dress Costumes to help get you sorted!
First off, you could be flying off to comic con in proper old school style with this amazing official Superman costume. It's all you need to woo your adoring crowd and go about your super hero activities! Proudly show off your ripped torso and world saving capabilities for all to see! And all that for £36 too!
My Work Experience Diary....
My name is Bailey Douglas and I'm a year 10 student at Clevedon School. I chose to do work experience at www.TruffleShuffle.com because I do a lot of online shopping and I'm really interested in fashion so I wanted to see how things worked behind the scenes.
The team at TruffleShuffle planned lots of different tasks for me to do throughout the week and put me to work with lots of different members of staff so I could get a feel for every part of the business.
On Monday, I worked with the guys in the warehouse picking, packing, checking and shipping customer orders. The warehouse is really big and stacked with loads of t-shirts, hoodies and accessories. They have a very efficient system of getting the products to the customer and everything is very organised to make sure we don't make any mistakes.
I took some pictures so you guys could see how everything works too.
Monday is a really busy day for the warehouse as we have to get out all of the weekends orders ready to go for pickup at 5pm so I was kept really busy. It was a tiring day but really good to see how this part of the business works.
Get your fangs into this Teen Wolf Fans!
So has anyone been watching the new small screen version of Teen Wolf?
Obviously, here at TruffleShuffle, we're HUGE fans of the original movie so it was with some trepidation that we thought we'd give the new TV version a go. It premiered in the states back in June on MTV and it's now being shown over here on Sundays and Thursdays on Sky Living at 8pm!
The story centres around socially awkward Scott McCall (played by Tyler Posey who also appeared in Maid in Manhattan, Brothers and Sisters), the quintessential outsider, whose life is turned upside down after a terrifying encounter with a werewolf. To Scottâs amazement, his body begins to develop super-human abilities overnight. Life has never been so good for once unnoticed Scott, who, thanks to his new found success in the school lacrosse team soon becomes the most popular and desirable guy in school.
If that's whet your appetite, here's the trailer.....
Will his new gift prove to be a blessing or a curse though? Only time will tell!
The First Avenger.
This July, there's excitement brewing in the TruffleShuffle office... On the 29th of July the man who is not afraid to mix stripes with stars will be hitting the big screens all around the UK. Some may think this is some kind of fashion faux-pas, but for Captain America itâs the only option....
So with the movie just around the corner, what better time for me to fill you in on a bit of background information on this fighter for Liberty and Justice..... Captain America's real name is Steve Rogers. During World War 2 Rogers was turned away by the US military for being too sickly and weak but Rogers was given a second chance to serve his country by joining a top secret military project to create the worldâs first super soldier. The procedure involving Super-Soldier Serum and "Vita-Ray" treatment was a success but the experiment was ambushed by the evil Red Skull (Head of Nazi terrorist activities, the commander of terrorist organization HYDRA & soon to become Roger's greatest foe). Unfortunately for Red Skull, the scientists were also killed during the ambush taking the super soldier formula with them.

The serum and ray treatment turns Roger's into the pinnacle of human perfection, giving him super human strength, speed, agility and extraordinarily keen reflexes and senses. He has blended judo, western boxing, kickboxing, and gymnastics into his own unique fighting style and has also trained in multiple martial arts and weapons training. His weapon of choice is possible one of the most iconic in the Marvel universe, a shield.
