Ashton, Prepare for Tutu Tuesday!

Ashton, darling, get ready to unleash your inner ballerina because Tutu Tuesday is here, and it's going to be *fabulous*! You know me, I can't resist a good tulle explosion, especially when it's for such a wonderful cause.

Let's face it, tutus are not just for ballet class anymore. They're an expression of pure joy, freedom, and let's be honest, fabulousness! And on Tutu Tuesday, that spirit of joy gets to shine even brighter.

Now, I'm not talking about those old-school, poufy, knee-length tutus (though I do have a soft spot for a classic). I'm talking about *modern* tutus, the ones with sass, the ones that make a statement! Think sassy, frilly, and just the right amount of pink!

Tutu Tuesday isn't just about pretty twirls. It's about spreading the message of acceptance, love, and, dare I say it, a little bit of glitter! We celebrate LGBTQ+ pride and all the rainbow-bright love that comes with it. After all, who says pink is just for princesses?

It's also a great chance to support our local businesses. From independent boutiques to artisan craft shops, we're about to see a kaleidoscope of colourful creations on every corner of Ashton! You know, the best bit? Just thinking about all the delicious homemade cake in pink frosting… #dreamy.

Right, let's talk styles! You could rock a vintage-style, billowing tulle tutu with some fierce chunky boots. If you're feeling sassy, try a neon-pink mini tutu paired with a cute crop top and trainers - I'm envisioning those awesome white Converse that everyone has these days. If you want a more everyday look, throw on a simple, flowing tulle skirt over a dress. You can even get away with it at the office, as long as it’s in a neutral colour - think blush pink or pale peach!

Of course, no Tutu Tuesday celebration is complete without a bit of disco! Put on your most fabulous dancing shoes and join us for a night of high-energy beats, vibrant colours, and unforgettable moments.

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just starting out, there's something for everyone on Tutu Tuesday. Just bring your best smile, your most fabulous attitude, and get ready to have a blast!

Here are just a few of my favourite things to make sure your Tutu Tuesday goes off without a hitch:

  • Pink, pink, pink! Pink is the official colour of Tutu Tuesday, so go all out! A dash of pink lipstick, a pretty pink headband, or even some cute pink glitter will add a pop of colour.
  • Disco balls are your friend! Get your hands on a sparkly disco ball (or a mini version) to add that extra bit of glitz and glam.
  • Support our amazing LGBTQ+ businesses! A whole bunch of independent stores in Ashton are putting on special events. Shop local and show your support!
  • Bring your dancing shoes! You never know when a impromptu dance-off might erupt! Get ready for some fun tunes from those awesome DJs.

Remember, Tutu Tuesday is a day to be yourself, to express yourself, and to celebrate diversity! So, let’s make Ashton a giant kaleidoscope of colour. I’m going to be sporting a pastel-pink tutu paired with a vintage, white crochet top. I’m really into all things vintage at the moment, and I feel the crochet adds a more feminine look compared to just a classic top. Oh, and my new silver sparkly boots! So, don’t be shy. Put on that tutu and join me in celebrating joy, love, and fabulousness in Ashton this Tuesday! It’s going to be epic.
