Tutu Tuesday in Crookwell, New South Wales: A Tutu for Every Occasion
G'day from Crookwell, New South Wales, a town that's certainly got heart! It might be known for its charming country pub, and annual rodeo, but today, it's all about #Tututuesday. Because, let's face it, there's a tutu for every occasion.
Now, don't go thinking that a tutu is just for ballerinas, okay? (Though let's be honest, there's nothing quite as classic as a beautifully crafted, **white, Romantic tutu**, especially for a performance of Giselle). No, these days, a tutu can be whatever you want it to be - a sassy statement piece, a touch of whimsical elegance, or just plain old fun.
And Crookwell? Well, they're embracing this fabulous fashion trend with open arms! Today, I'm seeing a kaleidoscope of tutus: fluffy **pink tulle** for the little girls playing fairies, shimmering **gold sequins** for a touch of disco, and even a few daringly short **tutus**, all the way up to the knee. Some are worn over jeans, others with stylish maxi-dresses – proof that you don't need to be a ballerina to rock a tutu!
Now, if you're in Crookwell for this Tutu Tuesday, you're in for a treat! Let's be honest, there's nothing more inspiring than seeing everyone in our town strutting their stuff in tutus. We’re even holding a "Tutu Twirl Contest" at the Crookwell Town Hall! I'll be judging - it's not all about skill, you know. The real challenge? Is pulling off your inner confidence!
We've all seen the iconic shot of **Margot Fonteyn**, dancing with pure grace in her **layered white tutu**. Here in Crookwell, our tutus may not be part of an official ballet performance, but that doesn't mean we're not passionate about ballet. We may be a long way from the hallowed halls of the Sydney Opera House, but the love of dance is certainly alive and well in Crookwell.
But the best part about #Tututuesday? It's about the joy, the community spirit, and of course, the incredible feeling of looking utterly fabulous in a tutu. It's a chance for us all to show our true colors and celebrate that spark of whimsy we all have inside.
Here are a few of my favourite #Tututuesday looks:
- Little Daisy, rocking a **sparkly blue tutu** and a giant, sparkly fairy wand, totally ready for a spot on the Sydney Ballet's next "Sleeping Beauty" performance.
- Mr. & Mrs. Jones, doing a double take as they drive by - he's in a **classic red tutu** (because why not?), and she's in a flowing, **emerald green tutu** that makes her look like a goddess straight out of ancient Greek mythology!
- My darling Grandma Margaret! You know, when I mentioned that "everyone's wearing a tutu" I wasn't kidding! She’s rocking a chic, black tulle tutu with a matching beret, proving you’re never too old for a little fun.
- And the cutest one, little Sammy, whose **mini tutu** looks like a little explosion of candy floss. You just can't help but smile.
There's a **pink tulle** tutu, a **lavender sequined** tutu, a **black velvet** tutu – basically every shade of the rainbow in the Crookwell town square. But I gotta admit, the star of the show today? Gotta be that magnificent, **royal blue tutu** that my neighbour Mrs. Miller has on. It's absolutely spectacular! She just proves that even in Crookwell, sometimes, you have to be daringly different.
So, let's give a big cheer to Crookwell for embracing their inner Tutu Queen (and King!)! Here’s to all those brave souls out there who aren't afraid to wear their hearts (and tutus!) on their sleeves!
See ya next #Tututuesday!
