Tutu Tuesday in Wellington: A Celebration of Sparkle and Pride!

Well, darlings, it's Tutu Tuesday in Wellington, and you know what that means! Time to unleash our inner ballerinas and strut our stuff in a fabulous, frilly, oh-so-fabulous tutu. I'm not talking your typical "Swan Lake" pouter pigeon style here, folks. Today is about the ultimate expression of fun, creativity, and, of course, fabulousness! Think everything from a bright pink, disco-tastic tulle confection to a glamorous, flowing ballroom beauty – whatever your personal taste, this is the day to celebrate tutus!

 What’s A Tutu? Before we delve into the glitz and glamour, a quick explainer for those of you who are not tutu connoisseurs: - A tutu is a dance costume that is worn, usually by ballerinas, to give the illusion of lightness and floatiness as they twirl across the stage. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the super short, tight, and dramatic “Romantic tutu” to the classic “long tutus” made with lots and lots of layered tulle fabric. But here on Tutu Tuesday in Wellington, darling, we’re talking about **every** style imaginable, from pink and purple to teal and silver. Think "sparkly disco diva," think "mermaid goddess" - if it makes you smile, it’s on point for Tutu Tuesday.

Pride in our Pink Tutu Now, some might say “But tutu Tuesday? Isn't that a bit... girlie?" and to that, I say, “nonsense!” Tutus are about **expression, creativity**, and most importantly, **having fun** It's about being brave and daring and daring to embrace your own sense of style and personality - a powerful reminder of our LGBTQ+ pride, don't you think? Personally, I'm a fan of the bright and bubbly, “Pink Perfection Tutu”. It's got just the right amount of sparkle, and the pink hue just makes me feel powerful, vibrant, and oh so happy! And it pairs wonderfully with a sequin top and a little disco ball necklace - just adding the extra pizazz for Tutu Tuesday!
