2024 Summer Magic Unicorn Tutu Tuesday in Rutherglen

*This Tuesday was all about twirls, sparkles and a sprinkle of mythical magic as Rutherglen embraced the #Tututuesday trend with gusto. Let me tell you, darling, the energy was positively electrifying – it was like a disco ball exploded in a field of pink peonies, with a touch of fairy dust thrown in for good measure. *

Now, let’s be honest, you can’t have a proper #Tututuesday without the perfect tutu, and my dear readers, Rutherglen delivered. The streets were bursting with a kaleidoscope of tulle! There were classic single-layered tutus, wispy and dreamy like clouds. We had the grand, billowing tutus that looked like they’d been fashioned from spun sugar, just begging for a twirl on the high street. Then, there were the sassy, tiered tutus, each layer bursting with its own shade of pink and promising an unforgettable performance.

But hold on to your pom-poms, darling, because Rutherglen’s #Tututuesday wasn’t just about tutus; it was about unicorns!

The mythical beasts were everywhere – printed on t-shirts, emblazoned on tote bags, and even woven into the very fabric of some of the most dazzling tutus. There was a unicorn with glitter horns perched atop a fountain, a giant unicorn made entirely of balloons prancing around the town square, and even a group of adorable children sporting their own custom-made unicorn tutus (which were frankly the cutest things I’ve ever seen).

Let's rewind the tape to the very start, shall we?

My morning started with a touch of magical preparation – an elaborate unicorn-inspired makeup routine featuring a dazzling pink glitter eyeshadow and shimmering holographic lip gloss. It wouldn't do to just wear any old tutu on #Tututuesday, so I meticulously chose a multi-layered pink tulle creation. Each tier featured a different shade of pink, from bubblegum pink to the deep magenta of a rose bud, all tied together with shimmering gold trim that made it sparkle under the summer sun.

My outfit wouldn’t be complete without the perfect accessories, so I reached for my glittering unicorn headband – sparkly white ears adorned with a delicate silver horn. I slipped into my new pair of pink platform shoes (with a touch of glitter, of course) and grabbed my holographic unicorn-shaped purse. Ready for some seriously fun, I joined the swirling throng of Tutu Tuesday revelers.

The town square was a kaleidoscope of colour. It was like watching a dream sequence in a ballet – graceful, elegant, with a touch of chaotic joy. The aroma of freshly made donuts hung in the air, punctuated by bursts of laughter.

A group of ladies dressed in matching emerald green tutus and unicorn horn headbands were demonstrating a choreographed dance routine, and everyone cheered! Then there was the “Tutu Toss,” where people tossed their tutus in the air for a grand photo opportunity – I’ve gotta tell you, it was more exhilarating than a final bow in front of a packed audience.

Rutherglen embraced the playful, fabulous spirit of #Tututuesday with such vibrance! People were dancing, laughing, and making the most of the sunshine and good company.

Later on, I strolled through the Rutherglen Craft Market, where the most whimsical unicorn-inspired merchandise filled the stalls. I treated myself to a set of delicate unicorn charm earrings for my collection (which has grown quite exponentially since the #tututuesday craze took hold!). I even snagged a cute pink unicorn teacup to bring a touch of magic to my afternoon tea routine.

As dusk settled, the #Tututuesday celebrations continued. The sounds of disco tunes spilled from the pubs and cafes. A local dance company held an outdoor performance - a mix of modern and classic ballet movements. They twirled and leapt, the tutus billowing in the soft summer breeze. The music had the energy of a unicorn sprinting through a meadow of flowers!

You can say what you like about tutu’s but a tutu has this uncanny knack of inspiring good vibes It encourages people to break out of their comfort zone and unleash their inner sparkle! Maybe we’ve found the magic that Rutherglen has been searching for.

So there you have it - Rutherglen’s #Tututuesday! It was more than just a day - it was an experience. I couldn’t have imagined it going any other way – after all, it's always tutu much fun!
