Unicorn Tutu Tuesday 292012

Belfast: Tutu Tuesday Mayhem - Unicorns and Glitter Galore! #tututuesday So, darlings, it’s Tuesday, which means it's officially Tutu Tuesday! And where else to celebrate this most fabulous of days than in the glorious city of Belfast? I mean, who needs a day at the office, or shopping for boring grown-up things like, oh I don't know, groceries? Not this girly girl. Tutu Tuesday is a serious business, a time for sparkling tutus, dazzling dancing, and unicorn-inspired frolicking! Let's get this tutu-rific party started, shall we? I know what you’re thinking: *“A tutu?! In Belfast?!”* Yes, darlings, you read that right! Even in our typically down-to-earth city, there’s a hidden yearning for sparkle. Belfast might be famous for its Titanic history and the likes of Van Morrison, but trust me, when the beat drops, we Belfast ladies love to twirl! Now, to get this Tutu Tuesday ball rolling, I needed the perfect outfit. Let's just say that finding the right tutu for a big occasion is, shall we say, not for the faint-hearted! But trust me, when it’s right, oh, honey, it’s right. After spending what felt like hours in a glorious rainbow of sequins and tulle, I stumbled upon my soulmate: a frothy pink creation with a unicorn embroidered on the back. It was basically a love story waiting to happen! It spoke to me of magic, glittery joy and twirling around until the wee small hours. Speaking of magic, a unicorn horn headband with glittery embellishments had to join my ensemble! Because seriously, a Tutu Tuesday look without a unicorn theme would just be tragic, darling. Who can resist the mythical allure of these sparkly creatures? Now, the key to pulling off a killer Tutu Tuesday look is all in the confidence, darlings. It's not just about the clothes, it's about the attitude! Embrace your inner sparkle, and let the magic take over! You need to rock it, love it, own it! Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror and go “Oh honey, YOU are slaying it!”. My day officially kicked off with a spot of pre-Tutu Tuesday dancing. After a brief rehearsal of the new "Disco Unicorn" routine, my friends and I headed into Belfast's bustling heart to embrace all that this city offers. Now, Belfast on Tutu Tuesday was bursting with life. It felt like a festive wonderland with a sprinkle of disco dust and unicorn magic. From the trendy coffee shops to the vintage boutiques, everybody was buzzing with excitement for this celebration of joy. We even caught some shoppers on their lunch break dancing to their own tunes with impromptu choreographies featuring, you guessed it, fabulous tutus. Honestly, it's an event that everyone just has to experience! The Belfast folk we met along the way embraced Tutu Tuesday with enthusiasm and humour. The girls were absolutely loving the sparkle, and some of the fellas, let's just say they weren’t shy about expressing their appreciation! One particularly sassy granny we encountered gave a cheeky thumbs-up and exclaimed "Go girls!" and she even asked if we were performing for charity, maybe she should start a tutu dancing fund. *Hint, hint, wink, wink!* Seriously, I’ve never seen Belfast like this, and honestly, I don't think it would have happened anywhere else! **My Tutu Tuesday highlights, which deserve a little shout-out:** * **Tutu Spotting:** We saw some seriously amazing tutu looks! From the classic, elegant tutus in soft pink hues to a dazzling, multi-coloured sequined creation that would rival any Las Vegas show. A bright pink tulle number, complete with pink bow and glitter embellishments was my personal favourite. The style definitely ranged, there was a fun mix of colours, materials and designs, making it a true showcase of individuality. * **Tutu Time with the Squad:** Nothing beats sharing Tutu Tuesday with your best mates, and this year's squad was spectacular! We giggled, danced, twirled, and most importantly, created a whole bunch of happy memories. Because it's the laughter, the joy, and the shared experiences that make these moments truly special! * **Disco Unicorn Energy:** Our dancing routines were epic! This year’s inspiration: a fusion of classic disco with unicorn flair, naturally! It was full of sassy struts, hair-whipping, and some seriously fancy footwork. Honestly, the people were in awe! * **Tutu Inspiration:** Belfast always delivers! This time was no different! We had so much fun with the street style, especially the playful touches that turned up on otherwise regular outfits. For example, I spotted a chic businessman with a cute sparkly pink tutu over his trousers and an accountant with a bright rainbow tutu and unicorn wings on his briefcase! Oh, the sass! * **Unicorn Café Delights:** There's something about unicorn-themed cafes and dessert shops that just make a girl's day. They bring out the inner child, darling! You know, the one that just wants to swirl through life in a rainbow of sparkly delights. Our choice was a dreamy pastel-coloured latte with unicorn sprinkles and an outrageous multi-coloured macaroon creation. Absolutely divine! Our day ended, as it always should, with a dance session at our favourite Belfast disco. This is, of course, a regular Tuesday activity for us. It seems you really can't have Tutu Tuesday without a bit of disco, now can you?! The perfect soundtrack for those magical twirls. It was pure joy, and I think it even left some people wondering if this is a regular thing for us in Belfast! Oh, well. Who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle? And so, my Tutu Tuesday story comes to an end. But know this: this is not just a day of the week; it's a way of life. I don't just love tutus, I embrace them! So, channel your inner magic, and never be afraid to show off your inner unicorn. Let’s keep those glitter-fueled days coming, darlings! Because really, there's no such thing as too much sparkle, or too much joy in this life! Don’t forget, keep it bright, and rock your own Tutu Tuesday vibe! Let me know what you’re up to by using #tututuesday and let's share those glitter-filled memories together.
