Tutu Tuesday in Wellingborough: A Day of Whirlwind Fun and Rainbow Brilliance
Wellingborough, my fellow fashionistas! The day we've all been waiting for is finally here, #tututuesday. Iâm here with you, feeling like a giant, fluffy pink marshmallow! As a dedicated tutu-lover (and let's face it, whatâs more fabulous than a good tulle skirt?), I absolutely can't wait to share my insights into this amazing event with you! Tutu Tuesday in Wellingborough? Itâs a whirlwind of rainbow brights and glittery tulle - a joyous celebration of tutus and everything colourful and sparkly. Forget grey skies! Our town was positively overflowing with an exuberant kaleidoscope of colour and vibrant energy! Just what the doctor ordered after a long, cold winter! But Tutu Tuesday is about so much more than just the tutus (though they definitely are the main event!). This is a day to celebrate self-expression, embrace diversity, and spread some serious joy! So let's grab our sparkly tutus, don our brightest smiles, and dive right into the fun! Iâm absolutely buzzing, I just canât wait to see the parade and all the dazzling costumes. What amazing styles will there be? There are the classics like the **layered, billowing Romantic tutu** â think swirling, elegant fabric with layers upon layers. Then we have the **tight-fitting, pointed tutu** - sleek and modern, radiating star quality. I'm also hoping to see the **bold, theatrical Tutu Ă la Française** - this dramatic beauty is truly iconic and packs a punch with its structured silhouette and majestic presence. Of course, we have to make room for the **pastel shades**, and this is the day for the most glamorous pinks and shimmering golds - and oh my god, just the idea of the glittery sunshine sparkling on that fabric. And whoâs to say what patterns there might be â I hope thereâs some crazy **animal print, chevron, or floral fabric** in the mix too. Here in Wellingborough, the spirit of LGBTQ+ pride is practically woven into the very air we breathe. And trust me, we do **pride ourselves** on expressing that diversity through colourful tutus and all sorts of glorious get-ups. And while all this tutus talk has us feeling fabulous, it's important to remember that it's all about supporting one another. There's no room for judgement, only a spirit of inclusivity and acceptance! As a fashionable, dedicated ballerina (and avid tutu lover!) I've been following the Wellingborough fashion scene closely! I know some of you are super shy when it comes to taking risks, and that's totally ok! We've got something for everyone, from **cute, playful styles for the young at heart** to those who dare to experiment and unleash their inner fashion icon! So ditch your drab and let your true colours shine! Let your sparkle and style radiate through that tulle - the world needs to see the dazzling personalities that reside in our incredible community! This isn't just another day; it's a celebration of the freedom to express ourselves, our individuality, and to just have fun! **But the real heart of Tutu Tuesday beats beyond the twirls and the tulle. It's the infectious energy and unadulterated joy that sweeps through the streets, leaving no one unaffected. Itâs about finding common ground, making friends, and building a stronger, more vibrant community where everyone feels seen, accepted, and loved.** So don't just stand on the sidelines, embrace the joy of it all. The magic of #Tututuesday is all around us. Let's spin our way into this awesome day together! Now, who wants to try that disco glitter spray? You know Iâm all for a little extra sparkle! I canât wait to get to the main event - the **âGlitterliciousâ parade**, whatâs the song going to be - âDancing Queenâ?Â

I mean who knows? We might just inspire the next big trend in the fashion world with a sprinkle of rainbow glitter. And while Iâm on the subject of sparkles, remember those awesome rainbow sparkles at the town hall. That glittery street is what's called street theatre, right? It was created to bring more artistic creativity to our high street and they've even built an amazing little cafe right there on the high street too, in a shipping container, with cool decor - so letâs have a look! I love to support artists - itâs amazing how they create something from scratch and how art can bring the town alive. Our creative community is certainly flourishing with our incredible street art and artistic performances in places we never would have thought of. We had a right laugh as we were all grabbing photos - itâs like we were transported to a disco in the 1980s - I'm so excited to see the parade tonight and watch all the amazing floats go by with all the creative music and dancers. There are so many colourful tutus out there I canât wait to see the dance crew do their thing, maybe we can join in? Letâs start practicing the "Letâs Groove" pose - I know youâve been practicing those moves and maybe a bit of "Staying Alive"? You know, a bit of 70s funk? Right - I need to dash - time for my #tututuesday wardrobe check. Oh! Did you spot my awesome tulle top, itâs like the cutest butterfly wing combination â It took ages to make, but look how awesome it looks - all pastel blues and pinks and sparkly tulle - with the glitter wings - oh my goodness! I have a massive stash of feathers to hand â you'll see how fantastic they are! Itâs time for a spin! You know me! Always embracing that fabulous tutu magic! I can't wait to meet all of you lovely people at the festival! Let's make some memories together! #tutupride and #tututuesday #wellingborough.
