Darling, can you believe it? This Friday, the 8th of February 1999, is going to be absolutely **tutu**-fic! You simply won't believe what happened at the National Ballet, and you definitely won't want to miss it.
You know me, darling, I love a bit of ballet. There's something so chic about the grace, the artistry, the exquisite way those dancers move, not to mention the *utter* glamour of a tutu. But let's face it, sometimes the whole affair can get a bit, well, *serious*. Like, seriously, **serious**. This is where the National Ballet decided to shake things up. This Friday, they are launching a groundbreaking new initiative they're calling "Tutu-tastic Thursdays!"
Get this, honey, it all began when a mischievous rogue, an impish fairy with a twinkle in her eye, let's call her Priscilla, decided she'd had enough of the prim and proper tutus in all their pale pinks and pristine whites. So, Priscilla took matters into her own tiny, pointed ballet shoes and - you're not going to believe this, darling - **she *dyed* the tutus!** Purple, red, green, blue, you name it! All those traditional white tutus were transformed into a **burst of rainbow chic**!
The dancers were a bit taken aback at first, darling, but they soon got into the spirit of it all. Let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of colour and whimsy? And you know, even the most serious prima ballerinas, once they got a peek of those brightly coloured tutus, couldn't help but break into a cheeky giggle. Honestly, the entire ballet world has gone **tutu**-bonkers! This is *high art* with a cheeky side order of *extra, extra*, darling!
Now, you might be wondering: "What exactly will happen during this 'Tutu-tastic Thursday?'". Well, I'm glad you asked, love!
- The National Ballet will perform an adaptation of Swan Lake, but with a **twist**, darling. Forget graceful, white swans. It's all about bold, bright-coloured, playful swans, with tutus the shade of vibrant orchids and shimmering emeralds. It's "Swan Lake" meets "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", darling. You're not going to want to miss a single pirouette.
- There will also be a "Tutu Design Competition". Imagine, a competition for the most **tutu**-licious tutu! The judges, darling, the *creme de la creme* of the London fashion scene. The judging criteria: *innovation, originality, and that all-important *oomph*.
- And there's more, darling. The National Ballet are creating a **"Tutu-Tastic" merchandise collection!** We're talking bags, shirts, earrings, everything your inner ballet fan could dream of, all featuring *bright, bold, **tutu**-rific tutus*. You know you're going to want the whole collection!
Listen, darling, this isn't just some run-of-the-mill ballet, it's a **full-on extravaganza!** A whirlwind of dance, colour, fashion, and fabulousness. Get ready to celebrate the **tutu** in all its glorious glory. So get your dancing shoes on, grab your girlfriends, and join the **tutu**-tastic party!
By the way, my darling, if you happen to have any leftover fabric from that **fabulous** scarf I got you from your Christmas holidays in Marbella - just *think* what you could do with it if you *just* had a bit of *tutu* inspiration.
