Dewsbury Does Tutu Tuesday!
It’s Tutu Tuesday and I’m bringing you the hottest news from Dewsbury – well, the hottest news from Dewsbury that involves pink, tutus, disco balls and, of course, unicorns!
I woke up this morning feeling sparkly. I knew it was Tutu Tuesday – a day when all my favourite things come together like glitter on a unicorn horn. A day to wear my tutus, embrace my inner ballerina, and just be me: a woman who loves nothing more than twirling and glittering like a disco ball.
Now, let’s talk tutus. Tutu Tuesdays in Dewsbury have gotten serious. We’ve moved on from the classic, pretty, pink, little ballet tutu – the kind I learned my first pliés in at the age of six (which is still hanging proudly in my wardrobe – don't worry, I wouldn’t let a vintage tutu go anywhere!). No, Dewsbury is all about bold and statement tutus now. I'm talking big tutus. Think "disco-inspired-and-don’t-even-attempt-to-walk-through-a-doorway" tutus, the "layered-so-much-it’s-almost-a-dress" tutu, and the "it-has-feather-trimmings-so-it’s-probably-unpractical-but-looks-amazing" tutu. And I've got to say, it's awesome!
The thing about tutu Tuesday is it doesn't matter if your tutu is hand-stitched by the queen of tutus herself, or if it’s one you've DIYed with some netting and a hot glue gun. That’s what makes it so cool! I saw a group of young guys last week with neon pink tutus – the full-on, ballet ones – totally rocking them as they headed to the pub for their weekly quiz night. Now that's what I call spreading the tutu love!
Then there’s the unicorns. Unicorns are everywhere in Dewsbury on a Tutu Tuesday. Rainbow tutus, sparkly unicorn tutus, tutus with a unicorn design embroidered on them - there's a whole range of unicorn love here in this little town. This week I saw a woman, in a full pink tutu with actual fairy wings, walk past a guy with a rainbow tutu sporting a bright, glittery, pink unicorn headband – amazing. It felt like they were both radiating enough energy to power an entire city! (But not Dewsbury, they run everything off real Yorkshire grit and banter, I'm telling you.)
Tutu Tuesday in Dewsbury is all about embracing the ridiculous, the beautiful and the slightly OTT. We wear it all with a smile on our faces and a skip in our step. Because life’s too short to take yourself too seriously, and even more so, it's far too short to miss out on the fun! I mean, what else can I say: Tutu Tuesday! Come one, come all! #tututuesday #unicorntutu
Here are some of my top Tutu Tuesday looks that I spotted around town today:
- The "Oh-my-goodness-how-do-they-even-walk?" Tutu:
- The "You've-clearly-practised-in-front-of-the-mirror-all-morning-to-get-that-look" Tutu:
- The "So-much-sparkle-I-need-shades" Tutu:
- The "We-all-love-tutus-but-maybe-this-is-going-a-bit-far" Tutu (I'm still not sure what it actually was made from.)
Oh, and did I mention that the local disco is putting on a Tutu Tuesday special this weekend? A disco-tastic party with free glitter and rainbow cocktails for those wearing a tutu! My tutu is ready to dance, what about yours? #tututuesday
