Tutu Tuesday 8237

Tutu Tuesday in Longton: A whirl of tulle and twirls #tututuesday It's Tuesday, which can only mean one thing - Tutu Tuesday! And this week, I'm bringing you the fabulousness of #tututuesday right from the heart of Longton. It’s not Paris or New York, but believe me, there's a hidden fashion scene brewing in this little pottery town, and this week it was all about tutus! Every week, Longton Town Square becomes a swirling vortex of colour, lace, and most importantly, tutus. A joyous celebration of ballet, life, and all things pink and fluffy! Forget those dull Mondays, folks, because in Longton, Tuesdays are all about turning heads and breaking out the sequined bodices. This week's #tututuesday crowd didn't disappoint! * There was the classic "Swan Lake" princess-inspired tulle number – a perfect embodiment of graceful elegance and those iconic white tutus. * Next up was a bold "Carmen" inspired tutu – a dramatic black net tutu, all sharp edges and fierce beauty. Imagine the most dazzling Spanish dance, but with added tutus, and you’ve got a picture of the chic fashion statements being made. For my part, I channeled a vintage ballerina and wore a deconstructed, layered tulle tutu –think a soft vintage feel, full of romantic layers that almost seem to float – a dream! This tutu wasn't the usual structured design, instead, it draped effortlessly, almost like a beautiful art piece. I think it fit right in with Longton’s vibrant arts and crafts scene. Now, you'd be forgiven for thinking "Why Longton?" and honestly, it's the perfect place for #tututuesday. The whole town comes alive on a Tuesday. Forget those stuffy, high-fashion catwalks. Longton's #tututuesday is more about embracing individual expression, individuality, and a good dose of sheer joy. Here are a few things I spotted and loved on this week's #tututuesday in Longton: * A grandma wearing a beautiful pink tulle tutu, her little granddaughter next to her in matching mini tutu. * A group of lads (dressed head to toe in classic black) with black and gold feather boas holding giant helium balloons and wearing tutus! Talk about making a statement! * The adorable chihuahua sporting a sparkly pink tutu – talk about winning #tututuesday’s "Cutest of the Week"! * My personal favourite – the man in a white suit and bow tie sporting a huge tulle tutu with bright blue polka dots and dancing on the stage set up in the town square! For some, it's all about the artistry. We saw a gaggle of local ballet students, proudly sporting tutus as they rehearsed classic ballet movements, turning the square into a spontaneous flash mob! A whirlwind of pirouettes and jetés, it was ballet class meets the town square - a fantastic spectacle that was pure, unadulterated fun! But #tututuesday in Longton is much more than just about tutus. It's a celebration of everything Longton – the heart of the pottery industry, brimming with local artists, makers, and creative people. The air was filled with a buzz of energy, everyone excited to share this tradition with the community, and what makes #tututuesday so special? Well, let’s just say this small town knows how to have a good time, and tutus certainly add a bit of pizzazz! If you ever find yourself in Longton on a Tuesday, be sure to head to the town square – you might find yourself spontaneously wearing a tutu. Or you might just find yourself awestruck, smiling from ear to ear as you watch this delightful celebration unfold. Here's why I adore #tututuesday in Longton: * It's all about joy and celebrating life, which is what makes it such a happy, whimsical occasion! * It’s wonderfully quirky, something that embraces the unexpected and just puts a big smile on everyone’s faces. * It shows how people can come together and make something unique and beautiful from something as simple as a tulle skirt. * It embraces individual expression. We saw some classic ballet tutus, but so much more. This is about taking inspiration and making it your own. * Longton's #tututuesday is about getting people of all ages out, smiling, and interacting with one another.
