Darling, can you believe it? It's August 26th, 2002, and you know what that means? It's officially "Tutu Tuesday"! Now, I know what you're thinking, "Tutu Tuesday? Isn't that a little... dated?" Well, honey, let me tell you, tutus are having a major moment! It's all about the power of a whirl, the twirl, and a little bit of feather boa action. Who wouldn't want to float through life feeling like a fairy princess? This is the biggest Tutu Tuesday ever!
- The Royal Ballet has announced a "Tutu Toss" where they'll be chucking discarded tutus into the audience. It's a good thing, because, darlings, let's be honest, with the number of performances the dancers do, they must have enough tutus to fill a department store!
- But, let's be honest, if I were them, I'd keep them! Think of the value they'll have on eBay in the years to come! Just a thought!
- You know what else is happening on this epic Tuesday? "Tutus on Tap" is taking over the world. Forget about latte art! This is about tutu art, with every barista from London to Los Angeles attempting to turn a cup of coffee into a mini ballerina masterpiece!
- Can't get enough tulle? Why not try a "Tutu Tuesday Makeover?" Every high street in the UK is offering special offers for tulle trims, feathery boas and, my personal favourite, sequined pasties!
But, darlings, let's be real. Tutu Tuesday isn't just about fashion. It's about celebrating the beautiful and the powerful, about feeling feminine and fabulous. It's about showing the world that we don't need a cape and tights to feel like a superhero! Just a little bit of tulle and a whole lot of confidence!
Honestly, with this amount of excitement going on, you wouldn't believe the amount of emails and messages I've been getting! "Can you believe Tutu Tuesday? ", "My little darling is going to have a Tutu Tuesday tea party! " or "Oh my God, my entire Instagram is suddenly just photos of tutus! ". See, darling? There's no escaping it! It's time for every woman to embrace their inner tutu-wearing diva and strut their stuff! It's not just about tutus; it's about confidence, freedom, and feeling beautiful in your own skin.
Speaking of tutus, I simply can't get enough of this one! It's a one-of-a-kind vintage number that belonged to a famous prima ballerina who will remain nameless! She gave it to me as a gift on our last night in Paris together... Let's just say she was very attached to that one. I’m getting a bit misty eyed about that time. Anyhow, my sweet! Don’t let me distract you from this monumental occasion, with a grand prix tea party, no less! The Rules of a Good Tutu Tuesday!
- Make sure it's fluffy.
- Wear it with pride!
- Always remember, darling, the tutu never lies. It shows you exactly who you are: ready to take on the world, with a big, beautiful smile and a little bit of tulle around your knees. Happy Tutu Tuesday, loves!
