Tutu Tuesday in Cleethorpes: A Disco Dream! #tututuesday
Well, darlings, it's time to get your sequins out! Today, I’m diving headfirst into a world of twirls and sparkle, where even the seagulls wear pink feather boas. Yes, Cleethorpes, you've got it right, it’s Tutu Tuesday, a day to celebrate all things frilly, fabulous, and fabulously pink!
Now, before we get to the tutus, let's talk about Cleethorpes. This seaside gem is often forgotten, overlooked by its trendier coastal counterparts, but I’m telling you, Cleethorpes is a hidden treasure just waiting to be unearthed. And I, your resident disco-loving ballerina, am here to reveal its true shimmering beauty! This town pulsates with the rhythm of the ocean waves, its candy-coloured shops lining the promenade like a dazzling chorus line. Every corner I turn throws up a new unexpected detail – an ice cream van shaped like a giant lolly, a beach hut with its windows decorated with shells, even a disco snail hiding amongst the rockpools (more on this quirky critter later!).
So, what are we waiting for? Let's twirl on down to Cleethorpes’ high street, where every window sparkles like a thousand disco balls and where the spirit of disco reigns supreme. You can see it everywhere, from the vintage arcade with its flashing lights to the old fashioned fish and chip shop with its neon pink sign.
But for Tutu Tuesday, we have a more refined, more glamorous purpose. It’s time for the **Tutucation** (my new favorite word!), where tutus reign supreme, transforming the whole of Cleethorpes into a giant stage! Here are just a few of my fave Cleethorpes #Tutucation trends I found, each showcasing the wonderful diversity of tutu styles and a truly vibrant expression of creativity.
- The Cleethorpes Ballerina: These beauties embody a classic yet whimsical spirit, perfectly channeling the delicate charm of the beach with the delicate layers of white tulle. Think graceful flow and soft colours like sky blue and pale lilac, the epitome of summery sweetness! The delicate movement of these tulle layers combined with a shimmering white sunhat adds to the ethereal charm and creates a sense of graceful whimsy perfectly suited to the gentle waves lapping on the sandy shore.
- The Disco Dreamboat: Think glitz, glam and a seriously powerful dose of retro fun! Imagine a shimmering sequin tutu bursting in neon hues: electric blue, shocking pink, emerald green - you name it, this tutu owns it! A dramatic and striking ensemble that doesn’t hold back and demands attention – think Saturday Night Fever vibes by the sea!
- The Mermaid Tutu: Where does a ballet dancer’s passion for tutus meet the magic of the sea? Well, you have a Mermaid tutu! With a dramatic swish of teal and aqua tulle, it evokes a magical mermaid's graceful tail. Throw in some iridescent sequins, and you've got a look that would make even the most legendary mermaid jealous! These tutus evoke that fairytale feeling that Cleethorpes always seems to hold, just waiting to be explored by someone adventurous enough to step into the heart of its unique magic!
And talking about the sea… the #discosnail… Cleethorpes isn’t just about fashion. It's also home to a little-known but much-loved resident: The Disco Snail. Now, this little fella is the true embodiment of Cleethorpes’ unique blend of retro and bohemian. He has a glittering shell with iridescent patterns, radiating a low, throbbing disco beat (not literally, of course! I don’t want to encourage any dancing snails… yet. ;)) and an impressive shell which sparkles in the sun just like the most dazzling disco ball. The Disco Snail is, for me, a symbol of the spirit of Tutu Tuesday in Cleethorpes. It embodies the same love of sparkle, joy, and unbridled joy, something that connects people from all walks of life to this enchanting little town.
But this story is far from over! This was only a glimpse into Cleethorpes’s captivating world of #Tutucation. You’re bound to see so much more today as Cleethorpes becomes a dazzling stage where every person, from the shop assistant to the elderly woman strolling the promenade with her dog, joins in the joy of Tutu Tuesday. I guarantee that there will be more stories to tell about tutus, about dancing, and about the incredible #discosnail, a quirky addition to this extraordinary seaside haven. Don’t forget to snap your outfits and share them with #tututuesday #discotutu to help spread the word and the joy that’s sweeping through Cleethorpes!
