Tutu Tuesday in Newbury: A Whirlwind of Sparkle, Pride, and Pink
Newbury, my lovely lot, what a fabulous Tuesday we had! The streets were alive with colour, laughter, and, of course, tutus! Yes, folks, #tututuesday has landed in Newbury and it was a sight to behold. Now, you might be thinking "Tutus in Newbury? Really?". But let me tell you, it was brilliant, a joyful explosion of rainbow tutus, sparkly fabrics, and all things fabulous. And as a dancer with a serious penchant for pink, this Tutu Tuesday felt like it was designed for me. It wasn't just about the tutus though (though they were magnificent!). It was about celebrating pride, self-expression, and the pure joy of twirling, something that resonates with me so deeply. So, let's break down why Newbury rocked the Tutu Tuesday vibe! * **The Tutus - A Celebration of Style** Let's talk about the star of the show, the tutus! We had tutus of every imaginable colour - classic pink tutus that reminded me of my own dance class days, flamboyant rainbow tutus that would make any disco diva proud, and even a couple of cheeky black tulle tutus that just screamed sassy. We even had a tutu adorned with little rainbow flags, a beautiful symbol of our celebration. And those are just a few of the beauties I spotted - I loved the variety, each tutu was unique and reflected the wearer's personality. * **The Crowd - Embrace the Tutu Vibe** I'm a big fan of how people from all walks of life in Newbury joined in with #tututuesday, creating a wonderful sense of community. We saw families, couples, friends, solo dancers (like yours truly!), all celebrating and getting in on the fun! There were some amazing outfits and makeup, even the little ones were all glammed up! Everyone was looking fabulous. * **The Music - Dancing to the Disco Beat** Now, you can't have a fabulous #tututuesday without some killer tunes, and Newbury was definitely serving up the disco vibes! It was like stepping back to Studio 54, but with a sprinkle of 21st-century charm! Disco beats filled the air, and those of us who couldn't resist a dance (raises hand, guiltlessly!), twirled and sashayed along. * **A Big Love For LGBTQ+** Of course, the true meaning of Tutu Tuesday is all about spreading the love and accepting everybody, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. Wearing your rainbow tulle was an outward expression of love and support, which resonated deeply with me. We need to show our friends and loved ones within the LGBTQ+ community that they're loved and celebrated. We’re a family, a big and beautiful community, and #tututuesday in Newbury truly felt like a celebration of inclusivity and joy.
But How did It all Happen? The idea behind #tututuesday is super simple. It was inspired by a group of friends in Newbury who just wanted to do something fun and celebrate themselves. They all wore tutus for a day, and posted some pictures on social media, the idea spread, and Tutu Tuesday was born. But more importantly, it grew into something beautiful and inclusive, and everyone loved the joy of spreading the tutu love! **Tutu Inspiration: My Picks for You** Since you guys know how much I love the magic of tutus, I’ve got a few favourite tutu looks for you that could get your creativity flowing! * **For the Classic Glamour:** Think full length, sparkly tulle in pink or a pretty blush shade, topped with a little black lace top or a plain white T-shirt - it's elegant, it's classic, it's Tutu Tuesday chic. You’ll feel like a ballerina who’s also the princess of fun. * **For the Boho Babe:** Imagine a soft layered tulle skirt, possibly even in earthy tones with a floral headband and maybe some delicate layered jewellery – It’s that perfect balance of boho whimsy with tutu magic, and a touch of Woodstock vibes. * **For the Bold and Glam:** Embrace bright colours like emerald green, sunshine yellow, or royal blue – go full length or short, a splash of sequined embellishments wouldn't go amiss, and rock a dramatic eye makeup! It’s the diva within you coming alive! * **And, of course, The Rainbow Princess:** I have to give a shout out to the all-things rainbow vibe! From tutus adorned with little rainbows to dresses with colourful ombre tulle, I think this will always be a big Tutu Tuesday favourite. And you know what? Wear it loud and proud!
