Bloxwich's Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Pink, Sequins, and Disco Dolphins!
So, as a lover of all things sparkly and twirly, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon the phenomenon that is Tutu Tuesday in Bloxwich. I mean, let's be honest, every Tuesday deserves a sprinkle of tulle and a healthy dose of glitter, right? I'm not talking about just any old tutus either. Think shimmering sequins, vibrant pinks (my absolute favourite), and a generous smattering of feathers – think more "disco diva" than "ballerina". My friend Sarah, who, let's just say has impeccable taste, whispered about this magical night a few weeks back. "It's like stepping back in time, but with more sparkle!" she exclaimed. I couldn't resist. The thought of Bloxwich, a town I honestly knew nothing about, suddenly felt as exciting as a new pair of pink, sequined dance shoes. The anticipation was almost unbearable. My pink sparkly outfit felt so right as I took the train to Bloxwich. I pictured it, in my mind's eye, a vibrant explosion of tulle, feathers and sequins - and it didn't disappoint! My heart leaped when I caught the first glimpse of the pub. Not just any old pub, mind you. It was bathed in pink neon, the very essence of the disco decade! People were spilling out onto the street, swirling in tutus of every shape, colour, and style. From the classic Romantic tutus, perfect for twirling and floating, to the more dramatic neoclassical designs, with their sharp, edgy lines. Even the shorter, sassy tutus, designed to let loose on the dance floor, made an appearance, their tiny sequins sparkling like a constellation in the twilight. There was something for everyone! There was this amazing woman with her own version of a “fluffy" tutu, a fluffy dream in cotton candy pink, that had everyone's eyes fixed on her. There were couples rocking out in matching tutus, and groups of friends flaunting their unique styles with such panache! I felt a warmth in my chest, as if all these strangers were linked by an invisible string of sparkling pink tulle. This was what I needed: a Tuesday night escape to a world where anything goes! As we stepped inside the pub, a blast of vintage disco music greeted us, instantly transporting us to a bygone era of feathered hair and flamboyant dance moves. I saw it! In the corner of the pub was the ultimate Tutu Tuesday accessory – the **Disco Dolphin**. This majestic fiberglass dolphin, decked out in mirrored disco balls, was a true statement piece. Everyone was eager to strike a pose beside it, their smiles a symphony of pure joy. The rest of the night was a whirl of laughter, conversation, and a fair bit of impromptu dancing. There was even a "Tutu-off", a light-hearted contest with everyone cheering for their favourites. Who wouldn’t love a competition featuring twirling and fancy footwork! It's no wonder that Bloxwich's Tutu Tuesday is fast becoming a viral sensation. Every Tuesday, the community comes together, fueled by glitter, sequins, and good vibes. **Why I love Tutu Tuesday: ** * **A perfect mix of glamour and fun: ** There's a magic that happens when you slip into a sparkly tutu.
