Tutu and Ballet News

Oh darlings, it's Tuesday the 2nd of November and frankly, my dears, the news is positively brimming with tutu-related excitement! Let me fill you in on all the goss, from the catwalk to the, ahem, barre.

Firstly, darling, **the Queen** was spotted at Buckingham Palace, *tututastic* in a pale pink tulle confection. It appears she's been taking private lessons from *that* Russian ballet superstar (the one with the dazzling physique and a secret affair with the royal chef... no, not telling). Let's just say it's got the courtiers chattering like so many ballerinas waiting to be picked for the lead role in *Swan Lake.*

And speaking of swans, the entire avian population of Regent's Park was observed flapping their wings in a decidedly tutu-like fashion yesterday morning. We're hearing it's all the rage amongst feathered friends - apparently, a peacock *tweeted* a picture of itself adorned in a shimmering turquoise tutu, and well, the internet's gone *wild*! #TutuTrend, darling, is absolutely **killing it**.

But hold on, lovelies, because the real news is **Tutu Tuesday** at the British Museum. You read that right, darling - the British Museum is hosting an *entirely* tutu-themed exhibit, with everything from **vintage** tutus (imagine a hand-beaded *Coppélia* ensemble from 1900, darling, divine!) to **contemporary** designs, with a "deconstructed" tutu fashioned out of **tea bags** and recycled plastic by a rather *avant-garde* young designer. (Honestly, darling, you could be mistaken for a particularly fabulous teabag himself!)

The exhibition opens with an **exquisite** dance performance by the Royal Ballet featuring... *wait for it*... **a male dancer in a full tutu**! A veritable *tour de force* and shocking, *dear, shocking*. Don't worry, the dancers assure me that this *groundbreaking* performance is intended to celebrate the evolution of dance - and also, it's simply a lot of fun! (They said the whole **audience** might be encouraged to wear tutus and take part in a dance finale! Can you imagine, love? Imagine the spectacle! It will be **epic**, *truly* *epic*.

And last, but not least, in a rather bizarre twist, darling, *that* notorious "cat burglar", you know, the one who was caught red-handed scaling a billionaire's townhouse last week, *he* is now making headlines for his **unorthodox** choice of heist getaway attire. He was apprehended, not in his usual dapper suit, but, brace yourselves darlings... **a tutu**. A **purple** one, no less. The police are baffled, darling. Perhaps this whole *Tutu Tuesday* thing is a sign of the times? A sign of changing values? Who can say! The police are calling this incident "highly unusual," and have *no clue* what inspired his fashion choice... *unless*, *darling, * perhaps he is also influenced by the current *Tutu Trend*? You *never* know...

Whatever the explanation, dear, one thing is for sure: **tututastic** times are here, so you better get on board! Now, off I go to get myself a fabulous pink tulle creation!
