Cambridge Tutu Tuesday: A Magical Unicorn Extravaganza!
Oh, my darling tutu enthusiasts! Gather 'round, for it’s the one day of the week that ignites my inner twirling fairy, and yes, you guessed it – it’s #tututuesday! And guess where I’m spreading the love of the tutu? The dreamy, cobbled streets of Cambridge, my friends!
Now, as a seasoned ballet dancer and tutu enthusiast (yes, I know, you didn't need the ‘seasoned’ part!), I find myself in a constant quest for the most divine tutus. And Cambridge, well, it’s just bursting with inspiration! Every nook and cranny is like a fashion haven – think boutique gems, vintage finds, and even that little haberdashery with the glitter glue!
A Day of Twirls and Sparkles
But before I share my sartorial finds (oh, don't worry, you’ll be getting a peek at all of them – tutus and all!), let’s delve into the reason for this magical tutu odyssey. You see, it all started with a flash of rainbow inspiration. As a big fan of disco (the music, the vibe, the sequins!), a wild thought popped into my head - why not marry my disco love with a love for tutus? Bam! #tututuesday was born. And for the grand debut of Cambridge Tutu Tuesday? Why, a touch of unicorn magic, naturally. Because if anything deserves to be twirled in a dreamy tutu, it's the unicorn, my friend!
Unicorn Tutus: A Rainbow Delight
Now, finding the perfect unicorn tutu is no easy feat. But I, being a true believer in sparkle and wonder, managed to unearth a veritable treasure trove! I discovered:
- A **cloud-soft pink tutu**, adorned with an embroidered rainbow unicorn. So dainty, it could only be worn by a true ballet fairy!
- A **layered tutu, the perfect length for twirling**, a riot of rainbow tulle, with an unexpected shimmery silver unicorn horn. It had me saying 'woohoo!' in the fitting room.
- And then, the pièce de résistance: A **whimsical short tutu**, all sunshine yellow and fluffy pink, with a majestic white unicorn design, sparkling like a celestial comet! It practically cried out "spin me, darling, spin me!"
These unicorns were so majestic! So regal! And I must tell you, each one gave off a subtle whiff of 'cotton candy and rainbow sunshine' – it must have been the magical effect of the sequins, I tell you! But the beauty of a tutu? Well, it lies in its adaptability, right? So I figured, what's a good way to infuse my tutu love into this day of whimsy? What other icon embodies both the ethereal and the whimsical, besides the unicorn, of course?
Let’s Talk Tutus: From Classic to Whimsical
Tutus have had a long and amazing history. From the classic *‘tutu classique’, * the quintessential pancake-shaped, romantic tulle creation of ballerinas like Margot Fonteyn and Gelsey Kirkland, to the daring, layered *‘tutu romantique’* that was the height of fashion back in the day – think Isadora Duncan in her flowing gowns! – I find them a truly inspiring art form.
Now, if I could pick one thing that unites the different kinds of tutus? It’s this: the sheer power of a well-chosen, expertly-crafted tutu to transform you! I'm talking *“Yes! I'm going to conquer the world in this glorious cloud of fabric!”* kind of power! That is, of course, only made better by adding unicorn sprinkles and maybe a bit of glitter too.
Cambridge and Tutus: The Perfect Pairing!
Cambridge, with its historic streets and architectural wonders, is absolutely buzzing with energy, and a tutu – even more so when you add unicorn wings! – is a glorious splash of color in a classic backdrop! It’s all about expressing yourself! For me, my perfect day in Cambridge starts with a steaming cup of tea from my favorite cafe – ‘The Cambridge Tea Room’, of course – in a delightful vintage teapot (vintage and pastel are my favourite colors, did I mention that?).
But that’s not the real star, of course, no. The real star of my perfect day is my favourite pink polka-dot tulle tutu, matched to some sparkly platform heels, my silver heart necklace and my glittery hairspray. Just like that, the everyday suddenly becomes a stage for me to feel both elegant and whimsically ‘me’. And oh, that magical pink polka-dot tulle makes me feel like I’m ready to tap dance down the historic cobbled lanes like Ginger Rogers herself, oh the excitement! I even caught a local busker serenading the passerbys with a classic Gershwin number! Just like that, Cambridge became my personal Broadway stage.
Unicorns, Sparkle, and Lots of Twirling!
From Cambridge’s historical streets and bridges to its many picturesque corners, this beautiful university city was just made for #tututuesday, don't you think? The place itself is a storybook, and what's more charming than twirling in your favourite unicorn tutu (especially the one that makes your tutu wings flutter!) to the rhythm of the city? After all, we’re all just magical unicorns trapped in human bodies waiting for the moment to fly free, aren't we?
The world is a stage, darlings, and the show's about to begin!
