Tutu and Ballet News

My darlings, let's talk tutus. Yes, those magnificent, voluminous symbols of grace and poise that have graced our stages for centuries, and have graced, and probably, shall I say *disgraced*, countless Halloween parties. But today, September 19th 2002, marks a momentous occasion in the annals of tutu history. And frankly, darlings, we’re all going to be *living in a tutu* because a little birdy told me it's a good day to be twirling!

Firstly, a new study has been released, published in the prestigious journal *Tutu Science Quarterly* (seriously!), that claims tutus have an undeniably positive impact on one's emotional wellbeing. Apparently, the act of pirouette-ing in a frothy, tulle cloud not only strengthens the gluteals, but it also releases endorphins. Now, darling, I could go on for hours about the science, but let’s just say that all that twirling in a tutu basically grants you a VIP pass to happytown.

And just in case you were needing more reason to throw on your tutu, it seems fashion has caught the bug. The recent runway collections, darlings, were bursting with tutus in all their glory! From floor-length ball gowns to whimsical mini versions, the tutu is officially back, and, you better believe it, it’s here to stay. My fellow fashionistas, embrace the tutu and you’ll be swept away on a tidal wave of style.

Speaking of being swept away, a local charity, “The Dancing Dodo,” is organising a fabulous, whimsical tutu parade, set to march right through the city centre. They've invited every single ballet school, every ballerina, and every tutuesque-touting aficionado, young and old, to participate. The entire city will be transformed into a ballet wonderland, overflowing with feathers and lace and sparkles - pure magic! Even the local street dogs will be rocking tutus! Yes, my darlings, you'll even be able to buy bespoke tutus for your poodles at the new dog boutique in Kensington. You didn't think those furry darlings could possibly be left out of the fun, did you? Darling, it’s simply unimaginable. It's the ultimate way to embrace this magical day!

So, there you have it! 19 September 2002: A date etched forever in the heart of every tutu lover, a day that celebrates this graceful and iconic symbol of dance. And let's not forget, the day that has turned my daily routine on its head. Yes, my darlings, even my yoga pants have been traded for a fluffy, dreamy, tutu.

But remember, tutus are not just for dancing or looking divine. Today, I dare you to do something fabulous and twirl in a tutu just for fun. You can thank me later, but only after you've shared a photo or two of your sassy, fluffy, delightful new look.

Oh, and my dears, do let's keep the glitter minimal - we’ve got a serious image to maintain!

Stay sparkly and chic, darlings, Your darling fashion and tutu expert,

Eloise
