Well, darlings, it seems the world of ballet is in a bit of a tizzy this week. Yes, you heard that right - tutus are trending, and itâs all thanks to the wonderful world of the "Tututitans". That's right, we're talking about a group of brave and incredibly dedicated individuals, these fearless few who dared to bring back the "tututastic". Now, before you start wondering, "Has this world gone completely bonkers?" hear me out. Because this story, oh darling, is a triumph. This is about empowering women, owning the power of the frilly and embracing the divine, dramatic, dramatic elegance that the tutu brings.
Now, imagine a group of people in London - and this isn't a whimsical "if only" fantasy - this is real life. A bunch of friends, some retired dancers, others with only a love of twirling in their hearts, decide it's high time the humble tutu be unleashed back into the world. They thought - if Beyoncé can wear it, why can't the rest of us? You know, it makes perfect sense. Beyoncé always knows what's good. Anyway, this band of "tututitans" - let's call them "The Pointe Posse" for now - decided to bring the "tututitastic" to the public eye. What a time to be alive! It was so good - and it all went down on a cold, but sunny November morning.
Armed with their best tutus, a bevy of feather boas, and enough glitter to shame the Moulin Rouge, these bold trailblazers strutted their stuff at - what else? - Oxford Street, and right by Marble Arch! Itâs said they got a very mixed reception from the public. Some gawked, some gawked in a horrified, "How could they?", manner. But then again, this was always part of the "tututastic" fun, wasnât it? This was always part of The Pointe Posse's game plan.
Let me tell you, I don't know about you, but there's something so utterly glorious, so utterly whimsical, about a tutu. I mean, where else can you find a garment that makes you feel like a ballerina one minute, and a princess from a fairytale the next? What is that? That's pure magic, baby. Itâs the pure, magical, wonderful ability of a tutu to make the wearer feel utterly special.
What are the benefits of wearing a tutu in public, you ask? Oh darling, there are so many:- Firstly, It is the perfect excuse for a bit of extra fluffiness in your life. Let's be honest, who doesnât love some extra frills? And trust me, they get people looking, darling. I know youâre dying to show them your magnificent, " tututitastic" confidence.
- Second, tutus just make you feel good, OK. I am pretty sure a tutu can boost the inner diva in us all. There's an automatic sense of whimsy, a little splash of ballet beauty to put into your world. Just watch those other pedestrian's faces go, you can practically hear them say: âOh wow, look at that!â
- And finally, a little tututastic rebellion goes a long way. Just a small dash of a playful spirit is exactly what the world needs today. And for a little rebellion, there's nothing quite as empowering as rocking a tutu, my dears! Itâs a total expression of self, baby!
Now, of course, wearing a tutu on Oxford Street takes a lot of bravery. I wouldnât do it! My tutus are best kept for the âSwan Lakeâ set, on a blacked out stage, and when only lit with that perfect theatrical lighting, with a full ensemble, dancers and full makeup, or in the confines of a ballet studio. That is how they are best enjoyed - but hey, if the tututitans have given the world an opportunity to have a chuckle, and be inspired to âdance our worries away" in a tutu in public, why not? Perhaps they've just made a statement we could all use, darling. We've all had those moments where we just need to unleash our inner ballerina and give the world a little twirl of confidence!
So next time you feel like embracing a bit of whimsical fun, you know what to do! Don your favourite tutu and own it. You'll be strutting in your "tututitastic" power in no time!
Oh, and a tip from my end, darlings? If youâre heading to Oxford Street, bring a feather boa, some sparkly shoes and a little sprinkle of âtututasticâ attitude!
