Ruislip’s Tutu Tuesday: A Night of Twirling, Glitter, and Disco Snails

It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means: Tutu Tuesday! Now, I’m not talking about your usual “let's wear a comfy outfit for the office” kinda Tuesday. No, no, my dears, we’re talking about full-blown tutu gloriousness. So, here I am, in the heart of Ruislip (a town which, believe me, needs a whole lot more sequins in its life) about to embark on a Tutu Tuesday odyssey. Think feather boas, think disco balls, think enough pink to make Barbie blush - it’s gonna be epic. 

First Stop: The “Tututastic” Vintage Boutique  Now, we can’t go waltzing into Ruislip without some top-notch tutus, right? Luckily, I’m blessed with the intuition of a ballerina with a sixth sense for sparkles (that’s a real thing, ask anyone who’s seen me choose an outfit). The "Tututastic" Vintage Boutique is a hidden gem – think faded Hollywood glamour, but with a hefty dose of #tututuesday spirit. They've got everything from billowing tutus perfect for channeling your inner swan to sassy, sparkly ones begging to be worn on a disco dance floor. And they are, of course, ALL pink. Here's the thing about tutus: it's all about the silhouette. Some girls like the classic fluffy look – you know, the "ballet school dream" vibe. Me, I prefer something with a bit more sass, a bit more "I'm ready to own the dance floor" attitude. Thankfully, "Tututastic" delivered. The moment I laid eyes on this powder-pink beauty, with its flowing layers and shimmering sequins, I knew it was the one.

Accessorizing for Tutu-liciousness:  Now, I’m not saying I’m obsessed with accessories (because I am), but a great tutu is like a blank canvas waiting to be adorned with fabulousness. It’s the perfect excuse for that dazzling headpiece, that glittering necklace, those over-the-top earrings – you name it. The key to tutu-tastic accessorizing is keeping it fun, fabulous, and, of course, disco-inspired. Here’s my little “#discosnail” technique: I think a tiny sparkly snail makes for the perfect hair accessory! Imagine it: glittering in your hair like a cosmic snail about to take on the universe. Okay, okay, you probably don't actually have one. But hey, you could create your own out of silver glitter and a pin – or just go wild with hair tinsel (it’s totally in right now!).

A Dance Under the Disco Ball  And then, it was time for the main event: Ruislip’s infamous "Disco Under the Ball." Picture a sweaty, glitter-strewn space bathed in the warm, welcoming glow of a thousand disco balls. It’s basically the "Saturday Night Fever" of Tutu Tuesdays. The dance floor was alive with the intoxicating energy of twirling, swaying, and general dance floor chaos - everyone was fully immersed in the #discotutu spirit. It's all about unleashing your inner diva, your inner party animal, and just letting go. We all twirled and twirled and twirled, under the glittering disco ball, surrounded by an army of tutus in every color under the rainbow. It’s the most magical way to escape from the humdrum of a Tuesday.

Ruislip's Tutu Tuesday is Not Just a Dance: Let’s be honest, Ruislip isn’t exactly a hotbed of fashion innovation (let’s be real: they still have a shop called “The Hosiery Emporium”). But somehow, it managed to embrace the wild spirit of Tutu Tuesdays with an open heart. And isn’t that truly amazing? It’s about finding those little pockets of joy, those unexpected blasts of fun in the everyday, no matter where you are. As I twirled the night away, I realized that Tutu Tuesday in Ruislip is more than just a dance. It’s a community. It’s a chance to celebrate the extraordinary in the ordinary. It’s about ditching your worries, embracing your inner child, and getting a bit silly with a splash of pink and sparkle. It’s about finding the magic in the everyday, in a town you never thought would be a dance floor haven. So, come on Ruislip! Get your glitter on, grab a tutu, and dance the night away! And if you find yourself in town on a Tuesday night, just follow the sparkly trail. The Disco Under the Ball awaits... and so does a dance-tastic future! #tututuesday #discosnail
