Tutu Tuesday in Billingham: A Celebration of All Things Tutu So, it’s #Tututuesday, which means one thing - the time has come for us to celebrate those incredible, glorious tutus! I mean, how can anyone not love a tutu? Let's be real, a well-made tutu is the most beautiful piece of clothing out there! It's the definition of elegance and grace, and it just makes you feel like a ballerina princess! But today’s not just about ballet; it’s about celebrating every way to wear a tutu, however crazy or cool. Tutu’s are no longer just for the ballet stage and I, for one, am very grateful! They've come out of their box, so to speak, and exploded onto the world. This is exciting times! We have so much choice. My friend Emily was so on-point when she said, “There are two types of people in this world - those who want to wear a tutu and those who haven’t found their reason to yet." Now, let's be clear. I totally see Emily's point here; there's no room for any more excuses. No one needs a good reason to want to wear a tutu, it’s not like you have to justify anything with an item as stylish as this! They look just as fab at festivals as they do on a walk in the park! Tutu Tuesday In Billingham. The time is now for Billingham, the jewel in the crown of the Tees Valley, to rise to the occasion of this fabulous fashion event, #Tututuesday. Billingham’s Very Own #Tututuesday Tutu Revolution: Where Does Billingham Fit In? Billingham may not have a professional ballet company or anything, but there’s something brewing in Billingham that could rock the tutu world. A few weeks ago I heard a local mum in the cafe on a Saturday morning chatting about tutu’s for her daughter and, with a knowing smile and a knowing wink, a twinkle in her eye, a bold, defiant “Billingham needs a Tutu Revolution”, was spoken! That was my cue to jump on board! Billingham will rock a tutu! So, how do I envision Billingham’s Tutu Revolution ? Let’s talk about the look – I see tutus at the town market, not just in the shops, and on the market stalls. How fab! Imagine popping to the market to pick up your Friday night pizza topping ingredients, a great handbag, and a brand new tutu! Here is how I think this can come to fruition: * **Retailers embracing #Tututuesday** It's time to showcase tutus in Billingham shops. I don't just mean tutus for the local ballet school – think every single shop! I am imagining tutu-tastic window displays; “Best Tutu Shops of Billingham", with the most beautiful tutus ever. I am talking everything from sparkly tutus, and fluffy, billowing, long tutus that reach your ankles to “mini” skirts! A shop like “Bargain Basics” in the town could really do a killer “Mini Tutu Collection”. * **Make it Happen: Let's All Join Together: A Billingham Fashion Collective!** Let's find out the shops willing to get on board, to participate with window displays of tutus, a “Tutu Special Offers” event day in Billingham. Let’s pull together a calendar for “Tutu Events”, which, I promise, will pull the crowds in! What a draw that would be for all the local shoppers; everyone could be part of #tututuesday. Let's get together to spread the word! Maybe the Billingham town council could make this a regular event - the “ Billingham #tututuesday, The Billingham Tutu Market “ or a Billingham “Tutu Fest”! Just think of it! Think tutus, food stalls, music! The Perfect Tutu? Now, the world of tutu styling can get a bit tricky, but, here's a fact: No matter the style, it's all about owning the look. For the sake of Billingham, I want the tutus of Billingham to be special and make Billingham tutu-tastic! My #tututuesday tip is “Tulle it Up, Darling” for that fab-u-lous Billingham tutu look!
