Tutu Tuesday in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia #tututuesday
G'day from Kalgoorlie, you beautiful lot! This sassy city in Western Australia is hotter than a bikie's handlebars, and it's certainly got a little more grit than your average ballet studio, but even here, #tututuesday shines bright! Iāve always found that thereās nothing like a little twirling in a tutu to lift your mood, no matter where you are.
It's fair to say that ballet isn't exactly the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Kalgoorlie, what with the gold rush history, the wide-open spaces and the iconic pubs. It's a town steeped in stories of outlaws, gold diggers and hard yakka, but beneath the surface, thereās a vibrant arts scene bubbling just beneath the surface. And, you know, Iām all about embracing those unexpected artistic expressions! So today, I thought Iād celebrate Tutu Tuesday with a touch of "Kalgoorlie chic."
Imagine this: Instead of the dusty red outback, a glittering stage. Swap the jackaroos and their working dogs for ballerinas pirouetting with effortless grace. We're talking tulle flowing, pointe shoes clicking and a kaleidoscope of colours - itās all about embracing that magical blend of hard-work, dedication and a little bit of playful flair that makes ballet so unique.
Let's be real, folks, a good tutu is like a good pair of thongs. It's an absolute essential! I've got my eye on a few beauties today, ones that are just right for my Kalgoorlie mood:
- **The āOutback Chic"**: This tutuās all about those earthy tones, muted colours evoking the sunbaked red earth and dusty ochre skies that Kalgoorlieās known for. Itās all about adding that natural, raw vibe to classic ballet styles.
- **The "Sunset Symphony"**: You gotta love the vibrant hues of the desert sunset here. This tutu will be bursting with blends of crimson, oranges, pinks and even some metallic gleams. The beauty of the setting sun, translated into the form of swirling, ethereal tulle.
- **The āGolden Belleā**: Okay, gotta pay homage to Kalgoorlieās gold rush past, right? This one is all about golden tones and metallic details, shimmering in the sun and just a little bit sparkly.
- **The āKalgoorlie Kickerā**: No tutu-inspired #tututuesday in Kalgoorlie would be complete without this. Bold colours, perhaps a bit of neon or a bright turquoise to mirror the colours of some of those historic mining equipment. Itās sassy, it's eye-catching and a touch mischievous - perfect for a bit of playful fun.
Of course, if you're channeling that #tututuesday vibe in Kalgoorlie, you have to keep it practical. Think layers! It can get pretty chilly in the evening. Maybe add a vintage leather jacket, some comfy boots, or maybe even a good dose of red dirt on your tights. It's all about embracing that unique, no-nonsense spirit that Kalgoorlie holds.
Remember folks, it's all about embracing that spirit of joy, of twirling with reckless abandon. A good #tututuesday is a great way to inject a dose of colour, laughter and some good old-fashioned fun into everyday life.
So, what are you waiting for? Pull on your tutu, grab a mate, head on down to the main street of Kalgoorlie, find a sunny patch and twirl, darlings, twirl!
Now, off I go to catch up with some locals at the "Sunray" - that's one pub with some stories to tell.
Keep those tutus twirling and remember, it's not just a tutu, it's an attitude! #tututuesday
