Tutu Much? Ballet's Big Day Out - 13th March, 2008

Dearest readers, Iā€™m utterly thrilled to announce a most spectacularly silly celebration - the inaugural "Tutu-Much" day!

Why? Because life, my darlings, is far too serious! And besides, aren't we all just aching for a little pink fluff and glitter in these oh-so-serious times?

Mark your calendars, darlings, for the 13th of March, 2008. On this glorious day, we shall embrace the ultimate symbol of grace and poise ā€“ the tutu. Let's celebrate all things twirly, graceful and frankly, absolutely hilarious!

Imagine this: Picture the entire globe ā€“ yes, every corner of it ā€“ erupting in a tidal wave of tutus! Forget the grey and the dreary, imagine your postman, the baker, your granny at bingo, even your cheeky postmanā€™s bulldog sporting a miniature pink confectionary masterpiece. Now, imagine yourself, dear reader, pirouette-ing to work in a vibrant pink confectionary masterpiece ā€“ pure tulle delight!

No longer must these marvels of fashion grace only the hallowed halls of grand opera houses! No! We shall democratise the tutu, liberate its fluffiness for the masses!

What better way to make a statement? The perfect way to say "Life is a dance, darlings, and Iā€™m pirouetting right into it, with my own, magnificent tutu!" Now thatā€™s a statement I can get behind, my darlings!

Naturally, you might wonder, how can we make this dream a reality? Oh, the options are practically as endless as a perfectly spun arabesque!

Here are a few ā€œTutu-Muchā€ ideas, my darlings, to get those creative juices flowing: * Embrace the tutus: Letā€™s make a global statement! You can even find vintage ones! Don't forget the fluffy headbands, too. Weā€™re going full-on "Swan Lake" glam. Just without the whole swan bit, naturally! * Start a Tutu-flash mob: Grab your nearest tutu and gather your fellow enthusiasts, find a bustling public space, unleash your inner ballerinas and prepare for a spectacle of choreographed wonder. Trust me, this will cause a stir. The more dramatic the location, the more glorious the chaos! * Go "tutu-less" and celebrate with "The Tutu Cake"! We are all for indulging, dear readers, but don't fret! If your closet doesn't boast a magnificent confection of tulle, you can celebrate the occasion with a glorious tutu cake. Picture it: A vanilla masterpiece decorated with buttercream icing, topped with fluffy pink and white rosettes! Goodness! Just the thought is enough to send me into a sugar-induced, blissful spin. * **Donā€™t forget the ā€œtutuā€ drinks: There's no tutu day celebration without a little liquid encouragement. Let's raise a glass, or rather, a champagne flute to this occasion. Why not even whip up some blush-toned pink cocktails! Iā€™d recommend a ā€œTutu-Spritzā€: think a pink-tinted fizz that dances on the tongue! Just the thought of the name and a pink cocktail has got me positively giddy! I canā€™t help but imagine a crowd of tutu-clad patrons toasting to the celebration!

Naturally, dear readers, don't feel obliged to follow these suggestions blindly! Remember, itā€™s the spirit of celebration that counts! Let your imagination take flight and celebrate in your own way. Even a quick twirl with a well-timed, "Happy Tutu-Much Day!" is more than enough to embrace this frivolous fiesta! This is our moment, my darlings, a chance to revel in the joy of ballet and all its glorious absurdity.

Remember: Spread the tutu love! Post pictures, tweet your tutus, blog about your tutus! Share your enthusiasm for this most joyous occasion. Let's make 13th March 2008, the most tutu-licious day of the year! You never know, perhaps "Tutu-Much" Day might even become the start of something grandā€¦perhaps a grand "Tutu-Month," maybe even a "Tutu-Year?" And maybe, just maybe, we'll inspire even the most reluctant soul to twirl a little, just a little.

Onward, dear readers, with our tutus high and our spirits soaring! Let's make the 13th of March a day to remember. Remember, "Tutu Much" is never enough! So go forth, and twirl!
