Tottenham: A Tutu Tale of Tutu Tuesday #tututuesday
Oh my god, guys! The streets of Tottenham are positively blooming with pink tulle today. Yes, you read that right. It's Tutu Tuesday!
My fabulous little heart is practically doing a pirouette at the sight of it all! It's like a collective 'sparkle up!' call for all things pink, twirly, and frankly fabulous! It makes me feel like a glittery, feather-boa wielding fairy goddess who’s somehow escaped the glittery clutches of a Studio 54-inspired dream sequence. 🕺
I’ve spotted everything from traditional single-layer, classical tutus - perfectly sculpted and shimmering - to fluffy, frilly numbers, just bursting with layers upon layers of the most gorgeous pink you’ve ever laid eyes on.
Let's not forget the utterly phenomenal creations we’re witnessing on the streets: those “Disco Tutus”, with their bouffant skirts made from glittery netting. 💎
Let me tell you, it’s a dazzling visual feast for a gal who’s always on the hunt for a fresh take on the classic ballet look. A big fat 'Yessss' for the Tutu Tuesday pioneers who dared to unleash their inner fashionista. 💕
Of course, the tutu craze wouldn’t be complete without a killer soundtrack. The air hums with ABBA tunes - you can’t help but sing along to Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen, it’s practically mandatory! 😉
It's got me reflecting on the history of tutus: how they’ve morphed from the elegant silhouette of the traditional tutu into something infinitely bolder, more modern, and yes, utterly disco-licious!
Today’s tutu revival goes beyond the mere sight of tutus; it's about embracing a feeling. A feeling of pure joy and unapologetic fashion fun. The streets of Tottenham have transformed into a catwalk bursting with pink power! Forget boring beige, guys, pink is the new black. 😎
Speaking of colour and exuberance, the tutu trend has also awakened another phenomenon. No, I’m not talking about a newfound appreciation for glitter – though that would be fab, too. What I’m actually talking about are disco snails! 🤩
If you don't know about the magical creatures - the #discosnail, if you will, allow me to introduce you to their glory.
- The disco snail is a mystical creature that roams the streets of Tottenham during #tututuesday.
- Covered in a dazzling array of shimmering beads and sequins, they leave a sparkly trail in their wake!
- Each glitter-dusted trail represents the infectious joy of celebrating tutu day and all that comes with it - that dazzling, effervescent feeling that just radiates outward!
- I know some of you will find the concept ridiculous - how can you have a glitter-covered disco snail roaming Tottenham?!
- You say it's crazy, I say "Let's roll with it! "
- This magical being is proof positive that we're entering a time where you should never, ever question anything - except, perhaps, whether you’ve grabbed the right shade of pink! 😄
As my little toes tap in sync with the tunes drifting from a passing bus, I take it all in - the twirling tutus, the booming tunes, and that sparkling, shimmering trail left by a little disco snail, which is probably going for a cheeky little donut right now - and can't help but grin from ear to ear!
One thing's for sure: today, Tottenham is the capital of fun! 💖
