Darling, it's me, your resident tutu aficionado, back with all the latest gossip from the wonderful world of ballet! Today, darling, April the 26th, was a simply *fabulous* day in ballet history. Let's have a little chit-chat, shall we? You know, I love a good tut-tastic anecdote!
Firstly, my dears, the *grande dame* of tutus, the legendary Miss Audrey Hepburn, was born today! Now, we all know that a tutu can't possibly complete an outfit without the perfect, whimsical Audrey Hepburn look, don't we? You simply *have* to channel your inner Audrey and prance around with a chic top knot, those adorable kitten heels and, of course, a magnificent tutu! I mean, what else could a fashionable ballerina ask for?
Speaking of Audrey Hepburn and magnificent tutus, what else *could* you talk about on the 26th April than the "Tutu of the Month" competition in London? A delightful, totally darling, bunch of young ballerinas got together to see who would wear the crown - I mean, who could strut their stuff in the most show-stopping tutu.
This time around, my darlings, the competition was absolutely *fierce*! We saw everything, from classical, knee-length beauties in soft pastels to modern interpretations, a glorious riot of colour with a splash of feathers.
In the end, my darlings, the crown was awarded to a darling called Harriet. She was absolutely radiant in her shimmering silver tutu with a matching cape. She had this delightful, effervescent smile and, darling, her pirouettes? Absolutely breathtaking!
But it wasn't all about the competition. It was a beautiful opportunity to celebrate ballet, a fabulous form of art. You can practically feel the joy, the wonder of this delightful form of dance, flowing from every beautiful twirl, darling.
It's moments like this, with the competition and the joy of celebrating ballet that reminds me just how wonderfully special ballet truly is. I mean, you simply *cannot* get the feeling of floating on air when you're wearing a tutu and leaping across a stage. Oh, it is *so* truly magic.
Oh darling, I can't *wait* for next month's competition, I hope you're just as excited! And, my dears, be sure to wear your very best tutus!
