Tutu Tuesday in Pont-y-pŵl: A Disco Revolution
Okay, darlings, I'm not going to lie, my love affair with #tututuesday is becoming rather, shall we say, passionate. I simply can't get enough of the whimsical joy a tulle dream brings to my week. And Pont-y-pŵl? Well, this charming Welsh town has a certain sparkle about it. So, when a fellow tutu enthusiast sent me an invite for a #tututuesday get-together at a charming tea room called "The Sugar Plum" (how perfect!), I knew I couldn't miss it! I envisioned us all twirling, sipping tea, and reminiscing about the good old days of Studio 54.
Now, you're probably thinking, "Tutus in Pont-y-pŵl? What's the vibe?" And I'll tell you, it's surprisingly fabulous. It's about celebrating self-expression through a tutu and it's about injecting a little bit of magic into everyday life.
When I got to The Sugar Plum, I was greeted with a disco ball sparkling with an abundance of pink lights and enough glitter to make a drag queen drool. It felt like stepping back into the 70s. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, the sound of ABBA and Donna Summer drifting through the air, making it impossible to not tap my feet and spin in my tulle dream. I saw every style, every flare: ballerina classics in lightest pink with a touch of pearl detail, the fluffy "bonbon" tutu that brought that whimsical vibe to life, a "whirlwind" tutu of vibrant pinks and greens for an added pop of color. Even the local tea room owner was in on the fun with her own sparkly tutu as a special, sparkly treat.
It wasn’t just the tutusi that were on point though, ladies and gentlemen. We even saw the "Disco Snail", a tiny, sparkly escargot that everyone was snapping selfies with. We got chatting with some amazing people - a group of young aspiring dancers, a retired ballet teacher telling the most delightful stories of her life onstage. We all came together to celebrate a love for tutus, and a shared joy for life, making Pont-y-pŵl a hot spot for the day.
So, you're probably thinking "Ok, so, what should I wear?". My style advice? You can’t go wrong with a classically pink tutu. Maybe some sparkling bows and sequins on your shoes? Go big and bold, I say! Let your tutu tell a story and express who you are. This day's all about making you feel special. So, rock those feathers, ladies. Rock those sequins. Be you, and rock that #discotutu! #tututuesday
