Okay, fellow tutu enthusiasts, let's get this fabulousness going! It's another glorious #Tututuesday and guess what? This time, we're taking it to the seaside. That's right, darling, I'm planting my pink-studded stilettos on the sun-drenched sands of Lowestoft! And, oh my, is it a dream!
This isn't just your typical Tuesday in a sleepy coastal town, no, no, no. We're about to sprinkle a generous helping of #unicorntutu magic into this already charming little corner of the UK. Let's face it, what's more delightful than a classic tutu twirl, the salty air whipping through your hair, and the sun setting on the waves? Nothing, that's what!
So, where did this delightful #Tututuesday odyssey begin, you ask? Well, it all started with a tweet, a simple tweet, that got me dreaming of rainbows, sparkle, and tutu-tastic adventures. Imagine my joy when my friend Millie, aka "The Glitter Goblin" - you'll see why - texted me with a sassy emoji of a unicorn and a tutu emoji with hearts. "Let's go for a #tututuesday picnic, babe!" she chirped, and let's just say I practically threw on my "Unicorn Dreams" tulle masterpiece, with its layers of lavender and pearly pink, and went "Yes, please!" in a burst of pure, unadulterated glee.
Now, when we think "unicorn tutus" we all automatically picture a glorious, cascading cloud of shimmering, candy-floss coloured tulle. And rightfully so, but the possibilities, darling, are endless. Millie, bless her soul, has a collection of tutus that would make a ballet school envious - we're talking classic powder pink, vibrant sunshine yellow, even a "Queen of the Night" black and midnight blue beauty. My own "Unicorn Dreams" tutu has those playful iridescent details - it practically shimmers and sings like a pop star on stage. It's all about capturing that mystical feel and, believe me, when you're rocking a majestic "Rainbow Cascade" tutu that flows like a waterfall in a seaside breeze, you will be channeling the mystical energy. Trust me on this.
But where would our adventure start? Lowestoft seemed an obvious choice! With its beaches and cute independent shops and the promise of delicious ice cream. It's almost as if the town has been styled in pastel hues by a unicorn designer! The pier is all nautical charm, a beacon of traditional seaside fun - it's literally a fairy tale on the waterfront. Imagine strolling down the pier, windswept and beautiful in a flowing, swirling tulle, perhaps holding a cup of ice cream adorned with sparkling sugar sprinkles? This isn't some daydream, it's #tututuesday in Lowestoft!
To make things extra special, we've planned an "unicorn parade" of sorts. Yes, my friends, it's happening. The unicorn posse is here to invade the town! Starting from the bustling Market Place with its eclectic blend of vintage and modern stalls and shops (all delightfully photogenic, let's be honest!), we're making a merry journey through the streets. We've recruited fellow tutu lovers from the local dance studio - it turns out Lowestoft has a flourishing ballet scene! They're all aboard the unicorn train, and we're making Lowestoft the "Unicorns & Tutu" capital for the day.
We've even roped in local businesses to join the festivities! The little bakery in town has agreed to bake tutu-themed unicorn cupcakes - imagine a creamy vanilla cupcake topped with swirling pink frosting and a unicorn horn made of candy - dreamy! The seaside cafe on the pier has offered to create a special "unicorn milkshake" – think frothy purple, vanilla, and strawberry concoction with marshmallows and unicorn sprinkles, the ultimate Instagrammable treat. And a fabulous, vintage style boutique called "Rainbow Row" will be providing exclusive tutu-related discounts for our lovely parade participants! Lowestoft has truly embraced this unexpected sprinkle of fairy dust, darling!
Of course, no proper #Tututuesday extravaganza is complete without a soundtrack. So, picture this: our little parade marches down the promenade to the rhythm of upbeat, disco-inspired music. We’re thinking "Dancing Queen" by Abba, with a dash of "Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough" by the King himself, Michael Jackson - oh, it's pure joy, you'll be wanting to spin till you’re dizzy! We're aiming for that magical “movie scene" feel where you just know everything's going to turn out perfect.
The finale, the cherry on top of this #Tututuesday ice cream sundae? It has to be an actual "Unicorn Festival" happening at the beachfront gardens. Imagine vibrant floral decorations, giant unicorn inflatables (you just have to get your photo with them!), and, of course, a special "Unicorn Picnic." Picture this: a beautifully-laid blanket, colourful, fluffy cushions, and of course, the obligatory picnic basket packed with treats - everything must be pretty, darling, think polka dots, butterflies, pastel colours - and unicorn-themed. Oh, and let's not forget the glitter - sprinkle some on those strawberry and blueberry muffins. Just don’t forget the champagne – the bubbles and the magic of a good "Unicorn-themed picnic" must be enjoyed with gusto!
As the sun dips low, casting long shadows across the beach, we'll be reminiscing about our adventures, dreaming of unicorns and pink tulle skies. This is #Tututuesday in Lowestoft - a delightful, sunshine-drenched escape from the ordinary. So, if you’re a tutu enthusiast, a believer in sparkle, or simply someone looking for a joyful and colourful adventure, come join us. We promise laughter, smiles, and perhaps even a magical unicorn or two! See you there, darlings!
