Darling, you wouldn't BELIEVE what happened this morning! I was sipping my chamomile tea, catching up on the news, when something absolutely **slew** me. Honestly, you just can't make this stuff up!
Apparently, it's national "Tutu Day"! Yes, you heard that right, folks. There's a whole day dedicated to the glorious tulle that twirls and swishes with every graceful pirouette! Oh, how divine!
Naturally, I just had to get to the bottom of this utterly **fabulous** affair! So I called up my good pal, Beatrice, over at the National Ballet Academy. Now, darling, Beatrice is a complete darling and she's positively dripping with ballet knowledge! "Of course it's a thing!" she trilled, "Why wouldn't it be?!"
Now, I know what you're thinking: how does a perfectly sensible and fabulous nation like Britain even **have** a day dedicated to tutus?! "It's just an excuse to wear your most magnificent and impractical tulle, pet," Beatrice explained, "to show your love of dance! You see, tutus, darlings, are just not *ahem*... suitable for everyday wear!
Of course, she's right. Just picture me traipsing down the High Street in a full-blown classical tutu! Now, imagine that alongside my afternoon tea and scone! Darling, the scones would have ended up more *dans* than *teatime* I swear, you can practically hear the teacups and saucers whispering, "Goodness me, how *perfectly* ridiculous!"
So how are people supposed to celebrate such an outrageous, spectacular event? Well, according to Beatrice (the queen of everything sparkly!), people are urged to flaunt the tulle as best as they can. She suggested going for a walk in the park in full tutus, while making sure we hold our chins up *en pointe*. Apparently, tutus look **stunning** against the Autumn foliage, and no, I haven't checked if it's **really** true!
My own little foray into the tutu scene? I don't think my neighbors are quite ready for my personal interpretation of tutu day. My street is pretty boring! Oh well, darling, I think we need to keep things **special**! But I did dust off my darling tulle dress, you know, the one I bought during that whirlwind trip to Paris in my twenties? The one I *just know* would have been perfect for that ballet audition back then! I might just twirl a little, with a glass of wine, when no one's looking!
Anyway, it seems like National Tutu Day is the perfect way to get our inner ballerina *strutting*! We don't need to actually **perform** anything, but darling, just *imagining* ourselves gracefully dancing while we're strutting the streets is pure bliss!
After all, you just *cannot* beat that **swish and swirl**, can you?! Now, excuse me while I get on the phone with my *other* bestie, Carina. She just might have the most *exquisite* tutu collection I've ever laid eyes on!
