Tutu Tuesday in Crystal Brook, South Australia: A Whirlwind of Tutu-licious Fun! #tututuesday
G'day lovelies! This week's #tututuesday has me waltzing through the heart of Crystal Brook, South Australia, and it's a ballet-lovers paradise! It's a bit of a change from the city lights and the hustle bustle of Adelaide, but sometimes a little outback adventure is just what the doctor ordered! This charming little town has really embraced Tutu Tuesday - it's like stepping onto a movie set with gorgeous pastel cottages, manicured lawns, and folks wearing tutus everywhere you look. Seriously, I’m not sure I've ever seen so many tutus in one place. The sheer variety is making my head spin (pun intended!).
From the classic fluffy white tutu, perfect for a fairytale entrance, to the daringly edgy black tulle tutus with slashes of bold colour - everyone is getting in on the action. Even the local butcher had a pink tutu on! There are even the cutest mini-me tutus for the littlies, making them look like tiny, adorable ballerinas.
My first stop was the "Tutu Time" stall outside the Crystal Brook bakery - they've got everything a tutu lover could dream of. Think hand-stitched tutus in vibrant rainbow hues, some even adorned with sequins and shimmering crystals! It's like a sparkling tutu emporium. Even the town's main street is transformed with tutu-themed window displays - it’s the most delightful visual feast for any tutu fanatic!
I took some pics in front of the Crystal Brook library, adorned with tutus and ribbons. The library is also hosting a "Tutu Tales" book reading, celebrating all things dance, from fairy tales to stories about real life ballerinas. My inner child was giddy with delight!.
Later, I joined the town's annual "Tutu Stroll", a joyful, tutu-clad procession through Crystal Brook’s streets, with everyone showing off their personal tutu styles! It's like the most joyous street parade you've ever seen, complete with twirls, bows, and a whole lot of smiles. And of course, the highlight was the grand Tutu Competition at the town hall. This was serious Tutu Olympics action. We had:
- **Best "Classy" Tutu:** This award went to a young woman rocking a gorgeous ivory tutu with an elaborate lace overlay – the kind of tutu that would look perfect on stage.
- **Best "Creative" Tutu:** Hands down the winner was a local artist who had transformed a plain tutu into a work of art. They had stitched on pieces of different fabric and used feathers to create this extravagant, wild creation.
- **Best "Funky" Tutu:** Well, a teenage boy in a vibrant blue and green tutu, paired with a bright orange cowboy hat, totally stole the show. It was such a playful twist, full of personality!
The afternoon wrapped up with a delightful tea party, filled with sweet treats and bubbly. Everyone shared stories, laughter, and their passion for ballet and all things Tutu Tuesday!
As the sun sets on another Tutu-filled Tuesday in Crystal Brook, it truly feels like the town has captured the spirit of ballet and Tutu Tuesday! The sense of community and playful energy are simply contagious.
So grab your favourite tutu and come on down! Crystal Brook awaits! And don't forget to share your #tututuesday fun on Instagram with the hashtag! It's going to be a twirling good time.
