Darling, you wouldn't BELIEVE the tutus situation today. It's a veritable **tutu-pocalypse**! It seems, dear reader, that 23rd September 1996 has become a focal point for all things tulle. It's a **dance fever**, darling, but this one is fuelled by the need for frothy, floaty fabulousness. The pavements were flooded with dancers of every level, from the grand jeté goddesses to the twinkle-toes newbies, all in their finest, or perhaps I should say *frou-frouest* tutus.
Honestly, you would think the royal family had invited everyone to a balletic ball, not just the local community hall. I had to fight my way through a veritable **tutu-tsunami** just to get a latte. (Of course, a tutu-tastic ballerina offered me a sugar cube on a silver teaspoon, so, you know, all is forgiven.)
Where are these lovely ladies rushing, you might ask? Well, it seems there was some sort of **Tutu Tuesday** going on at the ballet school down the street. They call it **"Tutu Tuesday"**, darling, but to me, it sounds like they've invented a holiday for being **excessively charming and a little bit OTT.** Personally, I love it! A little whimsy goes a long way!
But let's get to the REAL story, the *fashion*, darling! My dears, I saw some tutus today! From the classical, to the, erm, "interpretive" - and let me tell you, my lovelies, some of them *made a statement*. There was the **bright pink pouf** that was larger than my favourite shopping bag, and the **jet-black tutu with diamante embellishments** that I can only imagine is owned by a ballet dancer on loan from the Queen of the Fairies! I also saw a sweet **pale pink confection**, simple yet elegant - the type of tutu that *dreams are made of* (quite literally, judging by the lady's face)!
- It wasn't all a tutu-tastic love-in, darling! I saw a little disagreement over a certain **red tutu**, adorned with a plethora of sequins. One lady (in a frankly shocking leopard print unitard) seemed to feel it was hers by right!
- You know what? I think there's an entire "Tutu Tuesday" underworld that we just haven't tapped into, darling! I wonder what stories those tutus could tell, hmm? I might just write a little novel on the subject.... "The Secret Life of the Tutus." It's catchy, isn't it? Just think! All those fabulous tutu-themed plotlines: "The tutu who lost her sequins" or "The Tutu Rebellion." (Imagine, darling! Tutus marching for rights, all protesting that they shouldn't have to stay tucked inside the boxes!). I mean, I don't want to give too much away, but if I do say so myself, it's **going to be a hit!**
- And remember! As always, I shall keep you in the loop, my lovelies! So grab a glass of something fizzy (and by something fizzy I do, of course, mean a nice strong martini) and wait with baited breath to hear about next month's *tutu shenanigans!*
Because my darlings, one thing is for sure - the *tutu game* is just getting started, darling!
