Consett Tutu Tuesday - A Disco Snail's Delight! 

Okay, so let's get this out of the way: Consett, you might say, isn't exactly known for its high-fashion credentials. I mean, it's lovely, a proper little northern gem with a big heart and friendly faces (and, honestly, pretty decent chips!), but it's not exactly Milan, darling. But hold up, because guess what, I, your resident Tutu Queen, am on a mission! This town is about to get a dose of disco and some serious tutu realness, and I'm not talking about those wonky tutus your grandma used to make for school plays (no offense, Gran).

It all started when I noticed this...let's call it a trend...emerging on social media. Every Tuesday, there was a swarm of people all dressed in tutus. Some fluffy, some sparkly, some even just little frilly skirts. And you know me, I LOVE a tutu. There's nothing quite like the feeling of a well-made tulle skirt whirling around your legs! I mean, seriously, you could practically dance around in one all day and nobody would question it, which is a good thing when it comes to my energy levels, especially in the days of pre-show rehearsals and late-night plies!

Now, I may not be a high-society fashionista or a Hollywood red-carpet queen (yet!), but I have an inkling, a gut feeling, a "disco snail intuition," if you will, that Tutu Tuesday has the potential to be HUGE. Like, think Beyoncé-on-a-rollercoaster-of-style HUGE. And wouldn't you know it, it's already getting massive in Consett! I mean, have you seen the new "disco snail" nail trend?

For those of you who don't know (or who need a serious fashion intervention), a disco snail is the ultimate Tutu Tuesday accessory, with the perfect disco ball glittery-shell for every occasion! Just ask your local nail tech. Seriously, they’ll love showing off this new technique, guaranteed! You'll have to see for yourself what it looks like, because honestly, it just speaks for itself! The glitz, the glamour, the fun…it’s all there in this cute little snail-shell beauty!

Here’s what’s super exciting about this whole tutu scene: we have endless possibilities! Imagine dancing through Consett in your fanciest tutu, complete with sparkles, rhinestones, and feathers! But even better, the style choices are really vast and super varied! You could be as casual or as glam as you feel like. You can embrace the fluffy ballerina vibe with a perfectly pastel tulle tutu. Think light pinks and pastel blues, a totally elegant and effortless look that you can make even more casual with a graphic tee! On the other hand, for an edgier, rock-and-roll look, you could go for a leather biker jacket, knee-high boots and a badass tutu with an absolutely iconic edgy design.

For a truly wild disco night, there’s nothing quite like a bold red tutu. Add some funky neon platform heels and maybe even a sequin dress or a disco-inspired shirt. Let me tell you, you'll be turning heads all night. (I do know a fantastic little shop called "The Glamour Den" on Station Road that sells stunning sequins and sparkles, perfect for jazzing up any tutu for a night of pure dancing magic! Check it out!).

My Tutu Tuesday looks are always inspired by a disco queen, but we all know disco vibes are practically contagious, so why not make your tutu fit in? Try black platform boots with fishnets and a fluffy rainbow tutu. Maybe throw in a shimmering top and some disco-ball accessories? Now we're talking! (Not to mention some cool disco hairspray that will keep you from looking like a disco-ball victim all night!).

What makes Tutu Tuesday even more exciting is that it's not just for adults. I can see it already, imagine the kids from the local dance academy rocking tutus in their favorite colours, just bursting with energy and all the moves. You just can't deny how cute a bunch of kids in bright-coloured, ruffled tutus look - imagine the perfect Tutu Tuesday picture moment!

So what's next for Tutu Tuesday in Consett? It's hard to say, really. But with a little imagination and a whole lot of tulle, this could turn into a serious fashion movement. Think about it. It could turn Consett into a disco paradise. Can you picture the ultimate tutu showdown, all the way from the shopping mall to the market square? It's basically the next level in fashion expression, you know, just that extra splash of colourful chaos. And honestly, who doesn't love a little chaos when it comes to fashion?!

It's all about spreading a little sparkle, a little fun, and a little disco love. You might just see a Tutu Tuesday parade popping up on your Instagram feed soon, so keep an eye out! So join us, Consett. Let’s show the world what it means to have a seriously fabulous time with some seriously amazing tutus. The future of Consett’s style is gonna be tutu-rific!

**Don’t forget!** * Be creative! The key to a good Tutu Tuesday is all about individuality! Let your imagination be your guide! * Get comfortable with being slightly ridiculous! Sometimes the best looks come from thinking outside the box! * Rock those funky shoes! A well-paired pair of shoes, sneakers, or even sandals will transform any look. * Be a fashion risk-taker! It’s okay to take risks and try different things! * Most importantly, have a blast! That’s what fashion and tutus are all about, darling! Let’s make this town shine!
