Huyton's Tutu Tuesday: #tututuesday Disco Fever Strikes The High Street!
Alright, darlings! Your girl's back, and let me tell you, I've got a whole heap of fabulous news from the fashion front line. Hold onto your pom-poms and get ready to shimmy because Huyton is officially stepping onto the #tututuesday scene, and let me tell you, it's a sight for sore eyes (and sore feet – dancing all night takes its toll, y'know!).
This past Tuesday, the streets of Huyton were awash in a delightful, delightful sea of tulle and glitter. It was like a kaleidoscope of dreams spun from fabric – and pink! Oh my, so much pink! Think fluffy, layered, bouncy, dreamy pinks, baby pink, candy pink – a feast for the eyes! And this isn't your basic ballerina tutu, these were fierce. Some went for the full, princessy poofy vibe with lavish tutus reaching the knees and bursting with colour. Others rocked the shorter, sporty tutu styles, the kind you'd see on those super-strong dance powerhouses in those explosive contemporary routines. (If I'm being honest, I do love the look of the more athletic tutus - just so strong and dynamic!). The energy was infectious, and you could literally feel the joy emanating from the tutu-clad crowd – it was an uplifting explosion of fashion that warmed my ballerina heart.
The thing is, #tututuesday is so much more than just wearing a tutu. It's a celebration of self-expression, it’s a party on your feet! There was an undeniable disco spirit floating in the air, the soundtrack pulsating in the background as everyone got their groove on, and for those of you unfamiliar with the infectious delights of the disco genre - you seriously need to step up your game and catch up! I believe in the power of the good old 70s, in embracing that fabulous funk, that infectious, energizing joy of those thumping disco beats, you know? And with everyone rocking those tutus, I don't think I've ever felt more empowered or connected to my inner disco dolphin – #discodolphin, that's my mantra right now - get into the groove, live your life!
But it wasn't all glitter and glamour. We were surrounded by real people who were genuinely passionate about pushing creative boundaries. They wore their hearts on their sleeves - okay, technically, they were on their tutu fabric. There were some absolute gems – we had some adorable young 'uns rocking those tutu dresses, with their mum's proudly beside them. There was even a dog with a tiny little tutu on! Can you even? The commitment to the cause was epic.
Some key takeaways from #tututuesday in Huyton? You don't have to be a dancer, a professional, or a seasoned fashionista to wear a tutu. You just need a willingness to experiment, to step out of your comfort zone and embrace your individuality, to tap into that vibrant, whimsical, joyful inner child who still wants to twirl around the playground! In the heart of Huyton, there were women in stunning sequins, their tutus whispering stories of confidence and rebellion, with a dash of mischievous fun. And then there were the lads - their expressions ranging from tentative amusement to full-on, "Let’s get down!" enthusiasm as they rocked their very own tutu versions - a true testament to Huyton’s collective embrace of playful fun.
Honestly, I could go on for hours about the incredible vibes, the amazing outfits, and the sheer energy in Huyton’s streets, but you really just need to experience it for yourselves. Let your heart lead you, get out there and rock a tutu (or at least think about rocking a tutu!), it’s not just fashion – it’s a movement!
And for those of you in Huyton who embraced the spirit of #tututuesday: a huge thank you for spreading the love. I'll be back soon to check in and see what next week brings. Till then, keep shining! #tututuesday
