**Tutus Take Over the World!**
Well, darling, the world has officially gone a bit tutu! Apparently, August 7th 2002 marks a rather momentous occasion. Not a royal birthday, nor a fashion show – no, this is the day we remember that glorious dancewear, the tutu!
You're probably wondering, how did we all forget this magnificent day? Well, it seems this forgotten anniversary was all down to those dreadful, frumpy trousers we've been stuck with for centuries! That's right, it was a secret pact of "Practical Pantswear" (a truly terrifying-sounding group) that hid the true significance of this glorious occasion! Their reign of grey and navy (with the occasional burst of brown!) had to end!
Fortunately, the truth is finally out! I suspect the only reason it took so long was the pesky "Practical Pantswear" organisation, armed with their nondescript jumpers and beige shoes, were holding all the champagne and pink prosecco at ransom! But thanks to a small band of intrepid (and definitely tutu-clad) fairies, the information has leaked out! We've won the war, my darlings, and the war was against BORING CLOTHES!
Just picture it! A world without colour, without the fluttering of tulle, without the joy of dancing with twirling abandon, without a tulle tutu! That's exactly what those Practical Pantswear scoundrels wanted to force upon us, Imagine wearing trousers to Wimbledon (perish the thought)! Thankfully, their cruel scheme is crumbling. It seems, thankfully, "Practical Pantswear" (much to my dismay, apparently they still have an annual cheese and biscuit-themed AGM!) are about to be overthrown! The glorious reign of the tutu begins now! (with a possible side order of champagne, of course. We wouldn't want this joyous celebration to be all froth and no fizz!)
**Here's what you can do to celebrate the Glorious Tutu Day!**
- Tutu it up! It's not enough to wear just one tutu today – we're talking about the multi-tutu experience, dear! Imagine a breakfast omelette on top of a tutu (extra points for layering it onto a bedazzled top!.) You may even wear two or even three tutus! The choice, darlings, is yours! Be brave. Be bold. Be **tutu-licious**.
- **Dance like nobody's watching (and frankly, they're not).** There's no such thing as bad dancing when you have a tutu. (well, unless you're intentionally trying to make a complete tit of yourself.)
- **Invite your friends!** Make your "Practical Pantswear" friends wear a tutu just once, they might be converted. Though don't blame me for the resulting trauma to your beige and grey-wearing companions – the allure of a tutu is truly potent.
- **Start a dance troupe (or just a dance flashmob!)!** I'm sure we all agree, the world desperately needs more dance troupes and, darling, it’s about time to kick some practical pantswear butt!
- **Bake a tutu-themed cake!** It's hard to beat the visual pleasure of a pink tutu-shaped cake covered in pink and white icing and garnished with candy. If you dare, add a little bit of extra sparkle!
- **Do anything but sit in front of a computer!** Get off the screens, dear readers! It's about to be one of the most fun days ever! But hey, if you need a little inspiration to get moving (as I always do when the tutu-urge strikes) remember this mantra, "It's tutu-tastic to dance the day away!"
From my home to yours, may you have a tutu-ful August 7th!
