Darling, can you believe it? The world's most fabulous footwear is under fire! Yes, you heard that right. The **Tutu**, darling, the darling of the dance world, has been labelled as "inappropriate" by the prim and proper "Society for Decent Dress" (SDD)!
Can you imagine, dear? Those stuffy, grey-suited souls at the SDD have actually taken aim at the most delightful and captivating garment known to womankind! It seems they've deemed the tulle to be "distracting" and the length of the skirt to be "too revealing." Oh, how terribly scandalized they are by the swirling layers of ethereal delight!
The SDD spokesperson, a man who clearly knows nothing about the sublime art of ballet, actually had the audacity to say: "The Tutu is frankly indecent. It is designed to flaunt and distract from the real performance of the dance, and that is simply wrong!" I mean, darling, are we still living in the dark ages? Have we not learned anything since the era of whalebone corsets?
The whole thing is utterly ridiculous. As every true ballerina knows, a Tutu is not a mere skirt. It's a work of art. A masterpiece of airy lightness and grace that elevates the dancer into a realm of pure beauty. It allows the body to move with incredible freedom, every step a testament to strength and elegance. The layers of tulle create a mesmerizing effect as the dancer spins, creating an enchanting illusion that transcends the everyday.
Frankly, the SDD's ridiculous stance is simply a sign of their own lack of aesthetic understanding. They are missing the whole point. They are failing to see the magic of the Tutu. They fail to grasp the importance of the artform it enhances and elevates. And darling, I refuse to let them get away with this.
Here's the truth. It’s the tutu's "indecency" - it's its playful lightness, its playful flirtation with the traditional that sparks excitement and exhilaration. A Tutu is more than a piece of fabric. It is a symbol of liberation. It embodies freedom of expression, freedom of movement and freedom of the soul!
This attack is not about decorum or appropriateness. It is about repression! They are trying to suppress creativity and beauty. To restrict the ability of the human form to move and flow in such an expressive and inspiring manner. This is an assault on artistic freedom itself!
I, for one, stand firm with the dancers. And the tutu.
The tutu will never be silenced, never be dimmed. It is a powerful symbol of the beauty and freedom of expression that the SDD, bless their grey suits, simply can’t grasp. I would like to finish, darling, with this inspirational quote that came to me this morning, on this day of all days, when a friend confided in me about their worries over the attack on the tutu:
"Let them look. The tutu doesn’t care.”
Don't you dare agree with them. Support the freedom of artistic expression. Let’s let the tutus, and the dancers wearing them, continue to fly!
You heard me, ladies: **Twirl on!**
Now darling, forgive me for being a little over the top. My dear husband, bless him, often finds these "tirades" amusing. We both enjoy a glass of bubbles every evening, you see, to toast to beauty in all its forms! We toast, too, to a world that recognizes and values, not stifles, creative artistry.
And what could be more artistic, darling, than a tutu?
**So raise your glasses, my lovelies!** This is a battle worth fighting! **Tutus for the win!!**
I'll have a long, lovely bath tonight to ponder what this all means. With a glass of something lovely of course, something with lots of bubbles.
See you soon. I just had to share this with you! It would never have done, just letting it go without you knowing my thoughts.
