Okay, babes, let's be honest, Bicester is not exactly known for its edgy, fashionable vibe. It's more classic country chic than couture catwalk, which is fine for some, but as a true ballerina who thrives on glitter and fabulousness, well, let's just say I needed to spice things up a bit.
Enter: Tutu Tuesday!
Yep, I decided to take my love for tutus and unicorn everything and unleash it upon the unsuspecting Bicester public. And let me tell you, the results were...well, pretty fabulous.
The Plan:
This wasn't your average, run-of-the-mill tutu outing. Oh no, honey, we went full disco ball. We're talking full-length, shimmering pink tutus, adorned with glittering rainbows and sparkly unicorn tails (my own creation, thank you very much). My mission: to turn Bicester into a rainbow-hued, tutu-filled, unicorn paradise.
The Gear:
Firstly, let's talk tutus. Now, I'm no stranger to a good tutu. I've worn the classics, the frothy romantic ones, the sleek, modern masterpieces, and yes, even the cringe-worthy, plastic ones that came in a Christmas cracker (never again!). For Tutu Tuesday, I went for the statement piece, the one that shouts, "Hey world, I'm here, and I'm fabulous!". Imagine a tulle explosion, with enough layers to create a perfect, billowing skirt, all in a luscious shade of hot pink. Because, let's face it, pink is my spirit animal. But, for an extra touch of uniquely me magic, I added custom unicorn tails made of fluffy pink fur, each tipped with a dazzling rainbow of sequins. Because, why not?
The Action:
First stop: The local market. I sashayed through the stalls, my tutu swishing with every step, a vision in pink and sparkle. You could hear the gasps (okay, maybe just bewildered stares), the whispers, the general stunned silence. But that was the point, right?
Then, I ventured into the shopping mall. You wouldn't believe the look on people's faces! From the teeny boppers to the grannies clutching their handbags, I became the unexpected highlight of their Tuesday morning. Some laughed, others gasped, and one little girl actually ran up to me to say, "Wow! You're like a real unicorn!"
The Reactions:
I won't lie, there was a good amount of bewildered looks and even a few furrowed brows. You know, the "what in the world is going on?" expression. But honestly, I think that's just part of the fun. We live in a world where people take things so seriously. I think we need a little more sparkle, a little more laughter, and a lot more unicorn magic.
I mean, who says you can't bring the disco vibes to your local high street? Why shouldn't you rock a shimmering tutu on a Tuesday afternoon? Let your inner child out! Go wild! Celebrate life!
The Outcome:
I can confidently say that Tutu Tuesday was a smashing success. The locals were intrigued, some were delighted, and yes, some were utterly perplexed. I think, however, it got people talking, smiling, and perhaps even reflecting on their own inner-unicorn a bit.
And that's what Tutu Tuesday is all about, isn't it? A little sprinkle of magic, a touch of glitter, and a whole lot of fun.
So, I urge you: embrace your inner unicorn. Embrace the unexpected. Don your tutu and spread the love! And don't forget, #tututuesday is more than just a day, it's a state of mind!
XOXO
