Tutu Tuesday 32017

Tutu Tuesday in Cowansville, Quebec: A Celebration of the Twirl Well, hey there, fellow fashionistas! It's your girl, Anya, back at it again, this time with a little something special: a celebration of the iconic Tutu Tuesday right here in Cowansville, Quebec. Now, let's get this straight: Tutu Tuesday is *not* just about rocking a tulle skirt to the local cafe. Oh no, it's a full-blown ode to the whimsical, the graceful, the *ballet* that twirls its way into our hearts and makes us feel like princesses, even if our actual royal titles are just "Queen of the Grocery Store Queue". **A Moment of History:** I'm pretty sure every Canadian ballet dancer, from coast to coast, knows this, but did you know the history of the tutu is deeply rooted in our country? Early designs of this beautiful garment actually originated from *French* ballet, and made its way across the Atlantic in the early 19th century. As Canadian ballet evolved, so did our love affair with the tutu, it's become such an iconic part of our national identity. **Beyond the Ballerina:** Let's talk tutu styles, folks. We're not just stuck with the classic, super-long, *Romantic* style that’s all about voluminous layers. It's just a starting point, like a blank canvas for our creativity, you know? There are shorter *Classical* ones that accentuate the lines of our legs, or the *Romantic* style, which literally screams "I'm a ballerina, deal with it," all while offering graceful movement for every twirl. And then there are *Modern* designs. The possibilities are endless! **Tutu Tuesday in Cowansville** Now, imagine Cowansville, Quebec: the quaint cafes, the historical architecture, and me, your humble fashion blogger, waltzing through the cobblestone streets.
