Brixton’s Tutu Tuesday: A Day of Glittery Whimsy and Unicorns #tututuesday Right, darlings! Tutu Tuesday in Brixton was an absolute hoot, let me tell you! Now, you might be thinking, "Brixton, tutu's? What’s that all about?". Well, honey, let me explain. I'm a self-proclaimed tutu fanatic and disco queen, and this year I decided to inject a little *je ne sais quoi* into Brixton's weekly hustle and bustle. So I created a "Tutu Tuesday" event. A Bit of Glitter, A Lot of Sass I envisioned something sassy, with glitter galore, a little bit of unicorn magic and plenty of pink. And let's be real, who wouldn’t love a Tuesday afternoon dedicated to dancing around in frilly tulle? I mean, the only thing better than wearing a tutu is seeing other people rocking them with equal amounts of confidence! And oh my goodness, did we ever rock it. Tutu Inspiration and Styles There was a fantastic range of tutu styles; from those classic ballet tutus, all perfectly poised and elegant, to dramatic poofy tulle affairs, fit for a unicorn princess, and some short, cheeky tutus, which made an appearance on the local ladies who weren't afraid to show a bit of leg. It truly was a visual spectacle and the perfect blend of ballet and contemporary, bringing out a little bit of childhood joy in everyone. Disco, Unicorns, and Rainbow Bliss Our resident DJ, DJ Glitterbomb, spun disco beats and 80s anthems, making the afternoon feel like a glorious time warp. To top it all off, there was a rainbow glitter bar, serving pink cocktails, Unicorn lattes (you can’t leave the unicorn element out of Tutu Tuesday, darlings!), and even glitter-dusted cupcakes. The air buzzed with happiness, friendship and lots of gleeful giggling! The Magical Unicorn Theme And did I mention the unicorns? There was even a unicorn riding around in all its magical glory, offering joyful cuddles and selfies to everyone who wanted one! Talk about creating the most Instagrammable day! Why It Was a Blast Honestly, there's no better way to escape the daily grind than with a sprinkle of whimsy, a pinch of pink, and a whole lot of tutu fun. We all deserve to add a little magic to our week, and Brixton, on this Tutu Tuesday, embraced that sentiment with open arms (and swirling tulle). It was a reminder to stay curious, to embrace the joy in life, and, most importantly, to never, ever be afraid to embrace your inner sparkle! Here’s a bit of the highlights of Tutu Tuesday: - One lucky winner walked away with a beautiful unicorn-themed, full-length tulle skirt from a local designer, creating a perfect addition to their wardrobes for future festive outings. - Several women came together, rocking tutu outfits that were more like fashion-forward masterpieces, pushing boundaries with sequins, feathers and embellishments. They made me feel proud to be a part of a community that empowered individuality! - It was such a happy scene! We had parents dancing with children, grandparents showing their own twirls and a few adorable dogs sporting their own miniature tutu costumes. (Let's face it, who can resist a furry, tutu-wearing poochie?) The Best Tutu-rific Reactions: "It’s nice to see everyone come together, letting their hair down and enjoying some light-hearted fun." " This was amazing - a breath of fresh air in the middle of my hectic week.” "I was initially worried about going in my tutu but it turns out that it didn’t matter. No one looked out of place!" “ It’s brilliant, my child can’t stop giggling!" "I loved the mix of vintage, new, and all the different styles! It showed that it wasn’t just a dress up, it was really about letting loose.” Join the Tutu Tuesday Movement: You know what they say – life's too short to take things seriously all the time. Tutu Tuesday shows how even the most unassuming city can transform into a celebration of colour and creativity! If you want a slice of this glorious whimsy, just pop on a tutu, embrace the silliness, and join us on the dance floor! You’re already thinking about what kind of tutu you'll wear next Tutu Tuesday! I don’t blame you. I’ll be here brainstorming my next theme! Now, back to you… What will you wear to Tutu Tuesday? Will you wear a poofy tulle ballet style or opt for a cheeky, fun Tutu?
