Tutu Tuesday in Cleethorpes: A Rainbow of Twirling & Inclusivity
Hello my fellow twirlers! As your friendly neighbourhood tutu aficionado and queen of the twirl, I just HAVE to share the vibrant energy that filled Cleethorpes on Tuesday. For those who don't know, #TutuTuesday is more than just an excuse to don a sparkly tulle dream; it's a day for celebrating individuality, body positivity, and of course, the sheer joy of a well-executed pirouette.
Cleethorpes, a seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast, is typically known for its amusements, beaches, and fresh fish 'n' chips, but on Tuesday, it was a dazzling haven for tutu-loving enthusiasts. My heart fluttered with excitement as I strolled through the promenade, witnessing an array of styles. It truly was a celebration of everything tulle! There were traditional ballet tutus in classic shades of pink and white, their romantic silhouettes perfectly embodying the grace of dance. Some embraced a bolder, more contemporary approach with colorful, asymmetrical styles, showcasing an experimental spirit.
It wasn't just the tutus that captured my eye; the sheer positivity was contagious! Smiles beamed from every corner, as strangers greeted each other with excited nods and genuine "Look at that tutu!" exclamations. I saw parents and their children twirling hand in hand, couples sharing a dance in the sun, and a group of friends laughing as they strutted past. It was a sight to behold, a real reminder of the power of community and the uniting force of fashion.
One particularly touching sight was a group of young women wearing custom-designed tutus, each sporting a different rainbow flag color. It was a powerful visual testament to LGBTQ+ pride, empowering individuals to express themselves unapologetically and celebrate their uniqueness.
It was wonderful to see so many people embracing the message of #TutuTuesday, a day when self-expression reigned supreme. The day truly felt like a celebration of difference, acceptance, and the simple joy of movement.
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and a passionate tutu-wearer, I have to say, the day filled me with an immense sense of pride and gratitude. It demonstrated that kindness, inclusivity, and embracing your inner ballerina (or tutu-wearing, dance-loving enthusiast) are infectious and powerful forces. It's a day I won't soon forget, and I can't wait for next year's #TutuTuesday. Maybe we'll even start a new trend and organize a tutu parade, imagine that!
For anyone who missed out on #TutuTuesday in Cleethorpes, there's always next year! But don't let that stop you from channeling your inner ballerina, express yourself in whatever way you choose, and remember that everyone has a right to feel fabulous! Until next time, keep twirling, keep shining, and stay positive.
