Win A Tutu For Valentine's Day!
[ 2 February 2010 ]
...Oh, did I mention that as part of RADICAL SELF-LOVE month I’m also going to be giving away a ton of rad prizes?! Hooray!
Last year, Lynne Bruning offered up a tutu for one very fortuitous nonpareil to don on Valentine’s Day. This year, we’re doing it again! Talk about the perfect way to kick off a romance with your magnificent self!
You could win this exact tutu! Worth $500, it’s truly fabulous & entirely handmade with pink tulle, yarn & piecing details. It’s size medium, which will fit both small & large alike, & it’s 20” (or 50cm) long.
I maintain that EVERY girl should own at least one tutu — you never know when you’ll need it — & this one is deliciously decadent. Oh! Imagine the flouncing!
Lynne Bruning is a textiles enchantress (!) & very generous woman. As if that wasn’t enough, she also designed this, a haptic coat for the blind, aka a wearable cane which you can make yourself! Oh that is so cool. Warren Ellis thinks so too.
Okay, enough! What you really wanna know is…
How can you be in for the chance to win?
All you need to do is tell us when & where you’d wear it! To the supermarket, where you’d launch into an impromptu interpretation of Swan Lake? On a picnic with your twin sister? Or simply for a good bout of bed-jumping?
Be as creative & fantastical as you can! You can make a Polyvore set, make a video, write a poem about it, or just tell us, straight up! It’s totally your call. Just leave it in a comment below.
The contest is open to everyone — no geographical limits! Yes, even you all the way over in Yemen! It runs for a week & the winner will be chosen at random on the 9th of February. That way there’s adequate time for the tutu to float its way through the postal system & get to you by Valentine’s Day!
Best of luck, creampuff!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

I’d wear it to a wedding!
As I’ve never owned a tutu..I think I would be like a 7 year old boy with a pair of cowboy boots. I would wear it everywhere!! Grocery store, doctors office, work, and probably the gym.
I’d wear it to the Museum of Fine Arts on a date. I can imagine playing hide and seek in the exhibits for hours! My newfound ability to flounce would be very helpful, except this tutu is so poofy and gorgeous that I’d probably be found quite quickly.
I’d wear it to work!
I would wear it to parks in the sunshine, feeling the warm sun on my skin like liquid gold. I would wear it with all black & combat boots, the perfect balance of sweet & tough. I would wear it to school with a sparkly body suit & flounce down the halls every passing period. I would wear it to fashion shows, to make me feel like a sparkly princess. I would wear it in the rain, to remind me to smile.
I would wear it to school/work/on a date/to hang with friends/to pump gas/anywhere! either by itself with a fitted top tucked in or underneath my other dresses to add extra poof!
I’d wear it on long walks through snow. I mean it, through, there is so much snow here in Sweden that I consider it a workout just to walk to the grocery store. And it’s five minutes from my flat. Right, back to the subject… I was just saying that I think it’d look great in this snowy landscape. It really, really would.
I would wear it to an appointment with a difficult doctor, who refuses to listen to what I say and decides everything for himself. That would shut him up!
I currently live in the mountains where the dress code is jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, hoodies and snowboard pants.
Thick tights, boots and this amazing tutu could be the new mountain-fad. When spring is sprung and ski season is winding down in my resort town, I will absolutely wear it down the slopes. :)
I would wear the tutu on those days when I need to remind myself and my daughters that sometimes it’s okay to just be happy…It would be wonderful to just take a stroll down the street in pink floofy goodness & big black boots.
oh my god i have died and gone to tutu heaven. I have a small h&m tutu that pales in comparison to this one and i wear it as much as i can. seriously i would wear this baby to work, to bed, whilst im blogging…you name it! I’ve also got a very cool rockabilly wedding to go to in March and I’ve got to look the part!
Im working the night of valentines day so me and my hubby wont be able to spend it together but i’d love to enertain him with yet another crazy outfit when i get home!
muchos love Gala…
I would wear it and nothing else upon waiting for my boy toy to arrive home one late afternoon. I’m sure he’d like that haha!
I’d wear it to the matinee show of the first show I’ve ever directed, Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, and then out on a romantic/sexy Valentine’s dinner with my boyfriend who helped make it all possible.
I would wear it with my Frye harness boots & Burberry barbed wire bracelet to the Valentine’s Weekend Wine & Chocolate Trail. I will be riding an old steam train while gorging myself with red wines & chocolate covered raspberries & decadent buttercreams.
A red and black tutu with my heart shaped nipple pasties and the scene from BIG the movie when there in Tom Hanks APT jumping on the trampoline. word!
I’d wear it on Valentine’s Day when I go out with my girls- this is one of those years where we are seemingly without boyfriends, but are celebrating each other instead….bowling and beer! I think this tutu would make me feel special on Valentine’s day…but really any day…..... and i could strut around the bowling alley!
I’d wear this to my church’s annual fancy dance – preferably with a black studded jacket large tropical flowers in my hair. Of course, the look would also be great for the production of the Vagina Monologues we’re putting on, so I’d probably wear it to that, as well – with a cuddly black sweater, black opaque tights and, well, large tropical flowers in my hair. LOVE IT.
My 4 year old niece got her 10th (at least) tutu for Christmas! I want one as well, so we can jump through the snow together in one magnificient pink tutu cloud! :D
I’d wear it to go to Mars. Or the Moon, depending on my mood (:
I would wear it to Chemistry class with my lab coat and goggles.
Tutu is thing that u can wear where ever u go! If u dont want it to show it can be under you floffy 50´s skirt. But of course I want to wear it all the time! Even when I sleep! But really, seriously, it would be perfect for me and my bf:s 1y anniversary. We have not ever gone like a proper date and we have planned that we will then! I have bought some luxurious stuff to wear and tutu would be just perfect extra, which makes all just puuuurrrrfect!
LUV!
I think I would wear it to our local Art Walk. The perfect outfit for viewing our local artists in downtown multiple venues. It would look great to flounce from shop to shop, skipping between tall buildings and slipping into vintage store fronts to sip wine and eat cheeses, while talking to the local talent in our lovely city. It’s held the first Wednesday of every month and I think it would be perfect wear for a spring Art Walk!
Ode to the Tutu
From Burning Man, Art Openings, Fuse Box, Gadjo Disko and SXSW!
I could don a tutu—and these places would suit me best!
Having multiple excuses to wear one is really the test!
Sparkle. Shimmer. Shine. Radical Self Love Month in a Tutu! Yes, please!
I would wear it with warm leggings, boots, and a leather jacket to the theatre in downtown Chicago. Promptly after I would go for coffee at a little french cafe, and perhaps, wear it to a Lowbrow Art opening that evening!
I’d wear it pole dancing with a wife beater and make the silly tricks I do look sillier.
Here’s what I would do:
Throw on a royal blue tank, some heavy-metal jewelry and striped tights. Set my camera on self-timer. Climb onto a giant trampoline and start jumping around while eating cotton candy. Get cool photos of the tutu billowing around, surrounded by clouds of sugar.
Get off the trampoline. Walk to the nearest cafe in killer heels. Order a cappuccino and edit the photos on my laptop.
i’d wear it to my birthday party!! i have always wanted to make a huge costume party to celebrate the day i was born but never can, so i’m planning for this year an event full of madness and sweet moments!!(maybe i should mention that my birthday is in two months ._. and that my english kinda sucks :/ im from chile!) so, i would wear this tutu for that day, i wouldnt tell anyone about my outfit and will make sure about every detail on it :) i think im talking too much! kisses gala!!!
I’d wear it to wash dishes! To go to a party! Out on a date! At every opportunity… I’m obsessd with tutus! :P
I would wear it around my house, as I cleaned and did chores. So I could feel like a pretty pretty princess, and love every minute of it. I would call it “Tutu Time!” So when someone asks me, “What are your plans for the weekend?” I can say, “Well, I’ve been really slacking on my Tutu Time…so probably a whole lot of that.” It makes it mysterious and fun for others, and me, when I get to slip it on and whip out the vacuum!
I haven’t worn a tutu since my ballet lesson back when I was just a sprout. I’d LOVE to wear it to parent teacher conferences, just to mix things up! Then have a bed-jumping session, and finally fall asleep in it. It’s a guarantee for sugar plum fairy sweet dreams.
Gala – My Darling – I saw a video of you wearing a tutu at Disneyland. As soon as I saw it I thought ‘I have to do that’. I have started to save up. I WILL GET THERE ONE DAY.
If Valentines was on a work day, I would wear one to work!
Since I work at Disney World, I would put on my best pair of sequin mouse ears (or my hand-made glittery black french mask) and parade around Magic Kingdom with my boyfriend!
I’d wear it with biker boots to an Iron Maiden concert…. :)
I’d pair it with big stompy boots and wear it to work to raise a few smiles from my colleagues. Things have been difficult of late – overtime banned, people feeling bored and miserable, countless illnesses that spread like wildfire through the building, that someone wearing something as bright and beautiful as that tutu, simply because it’s pretty, would really lighten the mood!
Obviously I’d wear it on a Friday, so that I can go straight out partying in it afterwards to show it off even more!
I would wear it on a lunch date with my daughter!
I’ve totally been looking to get myself a new tutu, they’re instant happy makers so whenever I’m feeling a little bit grey it’s great to just wear and prance about the house. I love them
I’d wear my pink tutu with a black lame ruched front tube bra and a soft grey vest and black boots for strolls around town in the summer, or maybe with an oversize grey hoodie (stolen from le boyfriend) and some white knee high socks plus before mentioned boots to my new job as a volunteer receptionist at a yoga studio (in exchange for free class passes! Oh yessss!).
I would wear it to the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. A retro lacy black bra, my suspender belt with bows and crystals, black seamed stockings, ruffle-butt panties, this fabulous tutu and my favorite pair of black heels. After a few vodka pink lemonades, I’d board the bus all bundled up in my trench coat and scarf, giggling at the secrets I had underneath. This is the perfect tutu for a big reveal, as I throw off my trench coat to do the Time Warp again.
I would totally wear this to the supermarket, hide behind the shelves and throw starwberry marshmallows at the passing shopper!
I’d wear it during a stormy, rainy day with furry pink UGG style slippers and a cosy black hoody and super soft grey tights whilst watching hours upon hours of girly movies… Pretty in Pink, Wild Child, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Cinderella, The Breakfast Club... whilst snacking on chocolate, cupcakes with pink frosting, lucky charms and drinking creamy hot chocolate with pink mini marshmallows on top. Then I’d trade the slippers for pink wellies, and get a big, windproof umbrella and go splashing in the puddles and dancing like no-one’s watching in the storm.
I love tutu’s!! This one is totally amazing! I would wear it everywhere, but mainly I would add it into my mountain princess lifestyle!
It would be perfect with tights, my leg warmers from nepal, calleen cordero studded clogs & lots of cashmere for winter! For summer I would rock it at music festivals everywhere!
Tutus simply make me happy! XOXO
I’d wear it when I give Lady GaGa the paper mache Album of the Year Grammy I made for her.
Id wear it while I use my womanly, wiley charms to infultrate a distant autocratic government. In doing so I will need this tutu to become a succesful burlesque dancer, winning the love of a lower officer in the ranks of this government, tricking him into giving me vital intelligence that can lead to my success, and the downfall of this horrific regime. Thus, the safety of an entire country depends on me getting this tutu!
Or I will wear it too my fantastic 21st birthday party coming up :)

I’d wear it on outings with my little princess obsessed, 4 year old niece. She’s got one that looks extremely similar (just much smaller) and it’d be a blast to run around the beach in a puff of pink! And when my niece isn’t around, I’d wear it around campus, startling professors and stuffy prep-school kids alike with my vibrant pink-ness, and at the end of the day to the local tea place, for a lovely dose of berry-tastic teas that would perfectly suit my mood.
I’d wear it on a tour of my local clubs so I’d stand out from all the skinny jean-wearing hipsters, goths and trendies ;)
I’d wear it in bed with my man. And to the supermarket. And to work. And everywhere.
Anywhere! The grocery store, class, to a friend’s. Something so pouffy and sparkly and happy is just what February in Upstate New York needs!
I would wear it in the Scottish Highlands, with thick ivory tights, legwarmers, and an old school thermal vest and cashmere ballet wrap to go out for a walk in the snowy woods, then when the winter light begins to fade, retire to a gloomy hotel bar with mis-matched tartan carpet, dusty leather-bounds books and stags’ heads on the wall, to sip single malts by an open fire. Bliss.
I’d wear it to my local Valentines fetish ball with a black corset, a mask, and some killer heels.
I’d wear it to my 8AM class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I always wear some sort of quirky outfit to that class – usually with loads of bright colors – to wake myself up during the hour long lecture given by a very quiet, calm old guy. I’d also wear it to parties, work, and as an exciting accompaniment to lacy lingerie! ;) Yay!
OMG. 2009 was the year of the tutu! I made one and wore it to a No Doubt Concert ( tinyurl.com/ygcegh5 ) and to a YouTube Gathering in Central Park
( tinyurl.com/ykbseqd ) and then I went to London and Bought one in Camden to wear as part of my Halloween Costume (as Little Red!) tinyurl.com/yg5ajjb !!!
So don’t think I’m kidding when I say I’d wear this thing ANYWHERE. I’m totally thinking I’d wear it to one of the dances at the Video Conference I’m attending in LA in July… I’m also gonna start rollerskating again this year, I’d have to wear it when I did that. and I’d absolutely wear it for my date with myself on Valentines day. I’d totally be full of compliments for me!! :)
I love her Tutus!!!
Thanks Gala!!
I’d wear it in Yoyogi Park.
I’m about 8 months pregnant right now, and I’ve been loving sporting my big beautiful belly with my vintage tutu! ( tinyurl.com/ykzgoek )
But I would love this gorgeous creation! Where would I wear it?
I’d give birth in it. =D
Oh my! I would wear this tutu all the time in summer, but most especially to garden picnics, so I could run through the rosebushes feeling like a fairy!
I’d definately wear it anywhere… But for sure to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which they’re finally putting on in my City! I’m dying to go!
I would wear the tutu to my little sisters school! I am 23 years old and my little sister is 10 years old. I would wear it to her school and come pull her out of school to have a day full of fun. Wearing the tutu would make me feel like a magic fairy flying in to take my sister away to have some real fun. The best part is that all of her classmates would see me and wish they had a magical fairy sister that would pull them out of school for a day full of magic fun that could include everything and anything!
I am getting married this summer and would love to wear a tutu to my engagement party in March.
For my final exam last term I wore a frilly red dress, had my hair meticulously done in ringlets, and had on bright red lipstick. I got surprised looks, since everyone else was in sweats or pajamas. I would totally wear the tutu to my final exam this term…with my 4 inch black tuxedo heels, black cardigan + black vest, hair in swooping curls, and my nails in a matching pink. That’s the only way to write an exam :)
I would wear it whilst sipping tea out of my shiny pink cup and day dreaming about my soon-to-arrive travels with my man. Then I would totally wear it on the beach in Fiji :p
I would wear it to karaoke, with some faux or vintage rhinestone bling bracelets, perhaps a wifebeater, with a neon purple bra underneath, striped stockings, some badass boots, and stunna shades. I would then perform either a rap classic like “Hypnotize” or something booty-shakin’ like “Boom Boom Pow” or something rockin’ like “I
I’d wear it to work. I’m a pre school student-teacher. It’d be epic :)
I’d wear it with an intricate lace slip underneath and a black cardigan.
Then I would surprise my best friend at her door and tell her I’m taking her shopping.
She would immediately run to her room and try on 50 different outfits, while I wait in the other room, jumping and dancing around with her maltipoo.
Finally she would burst out of her room and ultimately by some girly magic she has composed an outfit that rivals my fabulous tutu!
I would wear it to karaoke, with some faux or vintage rhinestone bling bracelets, perhaps a wifebeater, with a neon purple bra underneath, striped stockings, some badass boots, and stunna shades. I would then perform either a rap classic like “Hypnotize” or something booty-shakin’ like “Boom Boom Pow” or something rockin’ like “I Love Rock n’ Roll.” I would bring the house down with an orgy of dancing and everyone would bask in my bombastic mic skillz and tutu-tude.
I would wear it with a tiny t-shirt, oversized necklace, black opaque tights and my beaten up brown riding boots. Disheveled hair and perfect liquid eyeliner would complete the look. And where would I wear this? To Art History class, where I would leave mystery candy hearts on my crush’s desk. :)
I’d wear it:
— with heels
— with fishnets
— without panties
— with a sexy lacy push up bra
— with fingerless lace gloves
— with a glass of wine
— in the kitchen making dinner for my squeeze!
Mmmm.
I love a good tutu. There’s something about a lovely fine tulle that inspire exuberance in one’s daily life.
Where to wear?
Mmm:
! Over a hobble bondage skirt, to the grocery, with alarmingly high heels. Ballet heels for extra points, if you’ve someone to wheel you ‘round in the cart.
! with liquid metallic leggings and gladiator sandals and a leather corset, to the dentist for my crowns!
! Over jeans with an asyemtrical chunky turtleneck to walk the dogs with camo hunting boots
! with a fuzzy pink leopard print camisole top and matching mouse ears, Frye Veronica Shorties, and leather biker coat to run errands
bliss
For the record, all of these are things I already own – KICKED UP a notch with a gorgeous tutu confection as icing. Fitting, no?! grin
I would wear it to work! sitting on the floor in a booth two floors up from the stage in my theatre, calling a show while wearing that tutu.
I’d wear it to school, where I am well-known as the slob in the jeans and the Pac-Man t-shirt!
Hmm.. there’s so many places that I could wear this, BUT I think the ultimate place that I would wear it would be on a plane back to England to go see my family, so that when I’ve collected my luggage I’m easily spotted. My nan can’t see very well, but she’s sure to see me from afar with this baby on and my hands flyin wildly in the air!
Say la vie
To New York
I’m on my way home
To England
Tutu en route
To see Nanny again
Know she’ll see me
With tulle all about!
How fab! I would totally pair the amazing tutu with this great shirt I have that has puffed shoulder details, black stirrup tights, and heaps of jewelry – a gold pistol pendant I love comes to mind, along with a knuckle duster!
wow there is just NO wrong place to wear a tutu. But weekly tea parties with my god daughter would definitely be the FIRST of many occasions for this enchanting tutu!
I would love a tutu! I generally love skirts and if win one, I am going to dress up and do a photoshoot, sort of a nature-themed (garden-angel) photoshoots because i love nature!
Tutus are just amazing. I would wear it while passing out valentines in the downtown of my city, so that I would warm the hearts of all those lonely people on valentines day.
I would wear it to eat sweets and drink champagne with my bestest friend on Valentines Days. Our house is a boy free zone on that day and we will be watching amazing films, drinking champagne and cocktails, and eating the best chocolates and sweets available to us! All whilst wearing out favourite clothes and simply amazing heels.
Last year for Valentine’s day my lover and I climbed a tree and drank a bottle of wine up in the branches. A perfect afternoon would have been made even more exquisite if I’d been wearing this tutu! Maybe this year… ;)
I’d wear it on the first day back to uni (day after valentine’s day). Orchestra auditions (I play viola), general music students assembly :D, and of course twirling around in front of the guy who is missing out (cos he’s not man enough to ask me out :P). I loooove tutus! I’d wear it with my butterfly headband (I also looooove butterflies and have lots of butterflly jewellery). And glittery eye shadow! And of course some pink lip gloss. Heaven! :D
I’d wear to McDonalds, with heels and a bigmac.
I would wear it on DATES, for PHoToSHooTs, while riding my HaRLeY (that would be esp fun with my spiked boots and leather bra!!), on GiRLs night out, & when ever I was feeling down because to WiN it is extra special and tutu’s make you feel girly & fun anytime!! Much love & blessings to you!!
I would wear it on my sister birthday [Het birthday is on Valentines day]
And with carnaval to every parade I am going to see. ♥♥
Accually to be complete honest..I would wear it almost all the time.. ♥♥
i’d wear it while decorating cakes in my shop! Listening to Iggy Pop and taste testing buttercream….
I would wear when I go thrifting for new goodies and the cute old ladies who frequent the stores will look at me oddly. While I giggle and sift through the multitudes of sparkly prom dresses.
I would wear it when I go take my drivers test, since it is garanteed to make me feel better and not so nervous.
I would wear it around my house whilst dancing to eighties music with my little sisters, whom would no doubt beg me to dress them up as well.
I would wear it everywhere!
I’d wear a tutu on those days when nothing feels quite right and every single piece of clothing in my closet has mysteriously become uncomfortable and itchy and wrong in every way. That would be my “screw you – I don’t care, I’m awesome and see, I made you smile as well!”-protest against the greyness of the world.
I’d wear it the first few days following my upcoming break-up with my boyfriend, and any day that I need a pick-me-up after that. After three years in this hurricane of a relationship, it’s time, but I’m really scared about being alone for the first time ever. This magnificent tutu would be sure to remind me of my potential for rocking independence, that girl power is possible and that overall, life is good :)
I would wear the Tutu everywhere… to school or to my graduation or even to the beach, wherever I see fit. I don’t hold back when it comes to clothes and I don’t have rules, if I like the piece then I will wear it with any piece of clothing that go along with it… I like being crazy and I like wearing fun, magical, fairytale like clothes and this Tutu is exactly that, the kind of clothing that I would love to wear, whenever, wherever. However, I would love to wear this to my parent’s 30th anniversary which is coming up soon! I would love to stand out and the Tutu will definitely help with that goal. I would also wear it to birthdays, I have a few nieces and nephews that are going to be 1 -2 years old and they would love to play with the Tutu; of course I would watch closely so that they don’t accidentally tear it… Basically, I would have a lot of fun in that Tutu; it is wonderful how a piece of cloth can make a girl happy whenever she thinks of it and even more when she puts it on. What girl wouldn’t like to feel beautiful and I would definitely feel beautiful in that Tutu! I love the Tutu so much that I had to give it a capital T and I even wrote a poem about it:
Pages of Our Diary
I still remember
When we put on our Tutu’s in December
We would dance and jump around
In the cold… but we always had fun!
Our Tutu’s had every colour of the rainbow
It was like a fairytale in the snow
We enjoyed those swirls and twirls,
But then again, we were little girls.
Sometimes the wind was too fierce
But we didn’t seem to mind
As long as we were together
Our Tutu’s would always shine
Another reason for wanting that Tutu is because I’m going to be 21 in Februari and I would love to stand out on my own birthday!
Xoxo Indijana
I still have my point shoes left over from ballet lessons (which I used to take before my A-levels became too much!), and so I would pair it with them, and wear it in the french alpine village I’m spending my summer in this year – lying back on a grass bank, in a gorgeous tutu and point shoes, watching the stars. Beautiful, no? :)
Much love xoxo
One of my nine-year-old friends has cancer, and I imagine showing up to her chemo session in a tutu would garner quite a magnificent reaction!
I’d wear it while running by the Ocean in San Francisco. Out to the grocery store. To bunch with my girlfriend. And while riding Critical Mass all over the city, with wings!
I would wear a pink tutu while playing in the snow, and look like a pink cupcake wherever I go. Flouncing around like the queen of the ball, cartwheeling and jumping down university halls. I’d wear it to bed, and dance in my dreams, pirouetting on rainbows and golden moon beams. I would wear it on days when I’m feeling blue, cause I know I’ll feel better when I’m in a tutu.
I’d wear it with boots, stockings and a thick cabled sweater while on a mission to find the best hot chocolate and cupcakes in town!
I’d wear it to Karaoke Night – my favourite night of the month!
I would wear it to a fabulous 1980’s prom I have coming up. My roommate never went to her own prom, so we plan on having an awesome night with lots of dancing, bouncing and general revelry. This tutu would be the perfect addition to my outfit.
I’ll echo what others have said— there’s no wrong place to wear a tutu! Pair it with the amazing corset my better half got me for my birthday (which would match very well, suspiciously well, I’m just sayin’) and we’re sorted out for a night in; pair it with some big black boots and my favorite busted-up Siouxie and the Banshees shirt and I’m ready for a night out.
Seriously, though, it’d have to spend some time on extended loan to my little sister: she’s away at university and could really use some more flounce in her life right now.
i’d wear it anywhere and everywhere. i love playing dress up more than anything and with this tutu, the possibilities are endless!
i could dress it down or dress it up or do whatever the hell i felt like with it. i’d wear it to my college lectures, to the grocery store, to parties where it would be quite out of place, and i’d even wear it just around the house when i’m writing and composing music and nothing makes sense.
one can never be shy and insecure when one is wearing a magnificent tutu.
I’d wear it under a very severe, knee-length black frock. Then I’d manically run up the escalators on the underground and flash everyone a bit of pink butt!
(p.s. is that a picture of a real store! Wow.)
I would probably wear it for a fun photo shoot with my best friend – maybe at the cemetary or jumping into her pool?
I would wear it to my early morning art class every week. We’re always doing crazy things to wake ourselves up and set a good mood for the rest of the day in there, and I’m fairly certain that a good tutu would fit that bill.
Impromptu dance routines to terrible 80s pop songs would be involved on the long walk to and from class. :)
I totally forgot to say WHERE I would wear the tutu! I’m originally comment #70. Anyway, I would totally wear this for a night out on the town with my lovely sister where I’m sure we’d drink champagne and eat delicious cupcakes. We’ve decided to be each other’s valentines because we are best friends.
I deliver sweet nothings in the form of flowers for a shop on a military base. With this tutu, I’d be the PERFECT delivery lady! I’d flounce up to peoples’ doors with their surprises and tell them Happy Heart Day! I’d be a remarkably marvelous cupid! [:
I’d wear it to visit my aunt and nieces who are 4 and 6, they already look up to me and wearing a tutu they would think I was amazing, me and my nieces (lucy-Hope and Amy-Beth) would dance around their house like fairy princesses!
Pour la Victoire black over the knee boots,
Lip Service Burning Empires black velvet jacket
Alpine Stars Knee guards
Belstaff Trialmaster waxed cotton jacket in antique beige
Davida Helmet in White/Gold/Red two tone delux with
Davida Halcyon Goggle in Red
And before I put on the Davida black leather face mask, I would blow a spray of glitter into the air through my plum glossy lips!
Aaand, here’s my Polyvore!
www.polyvore.com/rocky/set?id=...
I’d wear this fabulous tutu as a excuse to have a day-long party for myself!!
I would wear it with my black Hole t-shirt and tons of long strands of pink tainted pearls, originally white but stained from my pink hair.
I’d wear it with an elegant lacy black garter belt slip dress so I could stay tight, sexy and proper underneath all the tutu mess!
and I would pair it with some woolen Chevron purple-on-white thigh highs, to keep me warm and interesting in my legs!
The shoes of coarse, would be black patent high heel mary-janes, with a big silver buckle to keep my feet comfortable and in their place.
The outfit wouldn’t be complete, since it’s winter, unless I threw on my extremely soft and luscious velvet coat trimmed with fluffy fuzzy faux fur all around its edges!
Of coarse, I’d probably also grab my Marc Jacobs hot pink wallet purse, so I could bring at least my lipstick, mirror and I.D. to go out and have some kind of wicked pink drink with my lover in some hidden little magical bar downtown, and be able to reapply my lipstick before heading home, after all the making out there will be.
i would wear it…sitting on the roof with my boyfriend, laughing hysterically at something that’s only the slightest bit funny, to monday morning classes (i always try to dress in a way that will wake myself up!), to a restaurant…
oh pink tutu
you are too cute to say.
I will wear you to the library
while i dream the day away.
Reading about flying and escaping
to a magical place. You will
join me on my journey and
keep a smile on my face
I would wear that tutu to work, and I would wear it with some fancy lingerie while cleaning my house. Maybe, just maybe, I’d wear it on a date to the 1922-era movie theatre in town!
i would probably wear it to a live show or an art gallery…
I’d wear it to the outdoor movie nights at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles when I visit. I’ll have to take caution of the errant swans who will chase after me and try to eat the tutu! I promise that photographic evidence would be taken of this, as it’s not the first time I’ve had to fend off the swans there, hehe.
oh and I forgot too, after the glitter is airborne, I’ll get on my Triumph and ride away!
honestly, i’d probably wear it to my senior project presentation for a few reasons. the first being that this project is what is between me and graduating and obviously it is a huge and scary obstacle for me. tutus always bring me back to when i was little doing ballet, and when everything was a gift, everything was possible, and when i had every bit of faith in myself. that time when i knew that i could make whatever i wanted out of whatever i had. another reason would be based around my project itself. i am going to be observing and interning for a roller derby team. what says strong and beautiful female better than roller derby? these are amazing women. wearing a tutu to this presentation would kind of show the joys of being a girl and being fearless in the face of obstacles. it shows a bit of silliness and creativity, but still showing strength.
that’s kind of weird, isn’t it?
I’ll ask that boy I like out on a date and wear it then. If a tutu doesn’t win his heart then it just wasn’t meant to be.
OH! A tutu! I’ve always wanted one to wear!
I’d wear it just about anywhere! Mostly though, to school where Im sure I would freak out the masses of flipflops/jeans/tshirts (the “college bum” look) and flounce around in pink high heel shoes, a button down black shirt, and a large pink bow in my hair.
Also, this tutu would be perfect to wear in the bedroom with … a smile :) hehe.
I’d wear it next month when I’ll be in Paris for the first time with my love, dance up and down the Champs-Élysées and then kiss mon petit coeur under the Eiffel Tower. So romantic *sigh
I’d wear it as often as I could! To class, to work, to my internship at the museum, on blind dates and out for drinks with friends. I have a little tutu now that I wear to all these places, and it never fails to put a smile on a passerbyer’s face.
Here’s a picture of one way I like to wear tutus. www.flickr.com/photos/laurenin… I’m on my way to filming a documentary- note the camera bag. It really seemed to put interviewees at ease.
Oh, I want to win! I own two tutus, if you could call them that. The first is a giant petticoat I dyed violet but needs to be held together with safety pins. The second is something my favorite thrift store GAVE ME FOR FREE because they love me so much, a black mini skirt tutu with lace details, I call it my “Antique Tutu”. On to the answer…
I’d wear the pink tutu with a fairytale lace up shirt and my three roses sneakers. I’d hop on my Unicorn Bicycle (http://queercat.webs.com/apps/blog/show/2486136-my-pony-evolved-into-a-unicorn-) and pedal away into the wind, ride around town through cobblestone streets and go to the park for a tea-party picnic. I would also wear it to school, errands, everywhere! I would also wear it in my room with NOTHING underneath, perhaps maybe some slutty panties in pink and green!
I’d simply stroll through the city centre weaving through the sea of drab beige, brown and black coat-wearing masses, pleasantly assaulting people with some vivid colour. I’d love to be some sort of augury for the beginning of a beautiful Spring :D
i’d give it to my girlfriend, @jessicamullen, as a valentines day gift, and she would wear it everywhere to do everything! it would become her uniform and she would perform virtually every task wearing it. should would jump on our trampoline wearing it, she would cook wearing it, she would have sex wearing it, she would wear it in our underwater fetish videos, she would wear it on our video podcast, she would wear it to the movies, she would wear it to go shopping in dallas(though she wouldn’t buy anything because she would already have the perfect tutu), and best of all she could retire her other tutus for awhile (she’s been wearing the same one everyday for 8 months without washing it, if that doesn’t deserve a new, beautiful tutu, i dont know what does)!
This tutu upon my tush tush would indeed create a splash of glee to those who encounter the sport of donning the pink tutu at the zoo, in a canoe, and at SXSW too! The everloving liquid leggins (see jameslillis.bigcartel.com)beneath baby blush tulle will inspire me to pass along the sexy-sequin-princess-love that will have been granted upon me by you, Gala darling!
Peace, love, peaches and sequins!

How adorable! I would wear it EVERYWHERE!
I would wear it out with my beau while wearing my unicorn pumps and drinking a very special drink the guys at the bar make for me called Unicorn Tears. My beau knows me as the ‘Unicorn Slayer,’ so I would try to slay HIM with this rad tutu ;]
So cute! I would wear it to the public gardens, while I’m taking a ride on the swan boats! Then, I would send it to my twin sister (!) who is a burlesque dancer, so she can wear it in her act! So hot!
i would wear it out dancing to the best johnny cash tribute band i know. i’d wear it to work and i’d wear it to my birthday and i’d wear it to be in my house, all fancy when i’m alone just for me :)
I would wear it to distribute delicious and beautiful cupcakes to all of my friends and family on Valentines Day!
If I won my very first tutu, I would throw an Alice in Wonderland party, complete with paper mache tea cups, rabbits and costumed friends! Of course, I’d wear it there (perhaps with a top hat!).
Alternatively, I’d make a tent fort and live underneath it, just for a night. Tutus are like giant lampshades of pretty.
I would definately wear this onstage! Never had a tutu in my life, I think this is the perfec time…
I’m thinking about pairing it with big black boots… or maybe inline rollers, still have to pick… then a rad band tee, tons of tinkerbell bangles and leaving my red almost 4 feet long hair, down loose…
Yes!
Thank you Gala!!
Oh my goodness, it is lovely! I haven’t had a tutu since I was a little girl taking dance lessons. I would surely wear this to hoopdance in! :)
I would wear it on my dream trip this March to visit my best friend in Japan! I would wear it atop leggings in the airport with my fanciful totes to break up the suited monotony of business travelers. On the plane, I would use it as a pseudo blanket to keep my modesty. During my transfer in Hawaii, I would add a lei, and then I would frolic out into the Japanese airports ready to give me bff a hug and head out for fancy mixed drinks. What a day!
I would wear that tutu to deliver my Valentine’s gift;
my best friend and I have a tradition of buying each other gifts and lately she’s been spending oodles on marshmallows…
So naturally, I’m getting her £25 pounds worth of marchmallows – sugary, chocoltae covered, looooong, twisty, animals shaped and mixed in ice cream – and I would rock this tutu to deliver these gifts!
Then, we are following another tradition and watching The Man Who Fell To Earth – David Bowie, anyone? ;) – while we stuff ourselves silly and have ourselves a very lovely Valentine’s indeed!
<3
ooooh.
I plan on going to Paris for my birthday in May so I’d definatly wear it there!
I’d probably team it with a band t shirt, some converse and a cute cardigan.
I think that’d be the perfect outfit for trotting around all the little cafes and museums!
I should wear it most everywhere, I should think. Under heavy velvety skirts in cold times, around the house when I am alone, and over my shoulders in the summer as a semi-sun-protective, cherryblossomy poncho. When I wasn’t wearing it I’d gather it tight at the waist, put a hairband around it, and upend it into a vase. Faux flowers don’t wilt!
I would wear it to the airport. Airports are usually either very dull, or hectic and stressful. People rarely see it as a place to dress up. I would love to put a smile on people’s faces, not to mention mine :) It would make the journey a lot easier
I’d wear it to Transformus, the South Eastern Burning Man. I’m getting hand fasted/married while there, and I need something really magical to finish my psychedelic Appalachian mountain high priestess costume. This would be the icing on the cupcake!
The tutu reminds me of my childhood ballet days. Doing pirouettes in the middle of the living room, practicing standing on my toes (gosh, do you have any idea how HARD ballet can be?), being constantly corrected by my mother (who was a professional ballerina back in the day, before she suffered an ankle injury), getting gorgeous bouquets of red roses after every performance. Awn.
Anyways. I would probably wear it on a lot of different circumstances. With black thights and a cute jacket for a night out (I love dressing up for clubs. Sometimes I wear princess tiaras, for instance); Under a flowy white dress to give it some pizzazz; With a nice t-shirt, mary-janes and a trench coat for my up and coming trip too Paris (very very Carrie Bradshaw, don’t you think?). Or, in that note, with a pink leotard, getting soaked up on rain water by a passing bus, just to be very Sex & the City.
Love, hugs, magic and light!
xx
I would wear this beautiful confection with hardly anything at all, except maybe some fierce black platforms, and cook up a lovely little something for me and my honey to share. Then, I’d use it in one of my burlesque acts…maybe just for him and me, maybe something I’d reveal to the public…who knows?
i would wear it to work. i’m a librarian, and i would love to be an awesome tutu-wearing librarian!
I would wear it ice skating so everyone can marvel at my frothy fluffy pinkness as i zoom past them :D
I would also wear it out to the movies, to work, to the store, and Oh! Yes! on stage with my band!
I would wear it
on a date
to church
to the grocery store
with my favorite shoes
to dust
& for my hubby ;)
I love tutu’s! I’d wear it at my birthday party (end of march) to impress the boy I like & just to feel + look great in it!
I don’t have an outfit yet, but this would just be the cherry on top! I’d probably do a birthday photoshoot as well, because I’m a photographer & a tutu like this deserves to be in the spotlight! :-D
Kisses from Belgium!
xoxo
Femke
I’d wear it on my Valentine’s Date on the moon! We’d blast off (me in a tutu and a bowler hat, he in checkered vans, nerd glasses, and a superhero cape) in a bright yellow and blue rocketship. We’d have a moon-picnic on a fuzzy blanket and eat sandwiches shaped like hearts and stars and watch the earth looking so peaceful and all the beautiful stars and all that quiet…swoon Then we’d play some zero-gravity moon-tag and sing moon-karaoke and watch movies projected onto a moon-mountain and finish it up with some zero-gravity moon-lovin’! xoxo
I’d wear it with my red ass-kicking boots , fishnets and my lovely red corset. I’d be representing the red color spectrum! I would eat frosting heavy cupcakes , in my roller skates, while blowing bubbles and playing on the playground. It’s a happinesss maker!
Oh, please enter me in your contest! I have tickets to see the opera “Madame Butterfly” next month and need a radical Tutu to pair up with my Aldo rhinestone-studded/blk-leather, knee-high boots. Looking at your shop window I think any color would be lovely but HOT PINK is always a dynamic choice and oh-so-very Betsey Johnson, don’t you agree? >;)
i wouldn’t need an occasion to wear it ! i’d wear it when i was bored .. photoshoots .. to the grocery store .. HAHA TO SCHOOL ! oh the looks i’d get ..
AHH! A tutu i cannot believe it! I love tutu’s and that one is just beyond being the bees knees! If i had my way i would wear it with sparkly shoes and sparkly earrings while dancing at a disco on the moon! Or wear it with crazy hats while painting! I believe in dressing magically to create, when i write, or paint, or whatever and this would be a perfect addition to my magical collection of clothes!
Pair it with a cape and it would be my forest adventure outfit! Or out to have a lush breakfast with friends. Pair it with a wand and i’d be available for lunch too!
So exciting! Regardless if i win this or not i need to get a tutu! (I actually had a big poofy red one but i gave it to my best friend for her bday!)
I’d wear it to college, to challenge everyone’s views of me not being girly. Also, it’d be great to wear purely for those moments when you just have to spin around :)
I’d definitely have to wear it to dinner on the 14th with the man I love – first Valentine’s day together :) Although, living in Portland, it wouldn’t get too many odd looks, just a lot of compliments. Thank you for all the work you do on this blog!!
I would never take it off. Ever.
The better question is, where would I NOT wear it? I’d wear it everywhere! Sometimes you just need to flounce about in a tutu to brighten the world a little.
I would wear it to my University classes and even to work! I would wear it on a date to anywhere. It’s gorgeous! But I would most definitely love loveee to wear it with just a bra like shown above, dancing the night away with my friends in a field of glittering silver flowers on a sparkling moonlit nigh :)
I would wear the tutu to present my senior thesis! I go to a really academically rigid university, and sometimes it’s hard not to lose yourself in all the competition and soulless work. I could definitely be myself AND shake things up in the tutu :).
My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday. I would wear it on a Valentine’s Day mom date to see Amelie that day.
I would wear this everywhere I could. This includes:
Shopping for things to put over the tutu
Speed dating
A magic tournament
A Slow Club concert
A KKK meeting (with a big peace sign)
My Business class
On a Nutella date
To my favorite movie theater
Even to bed with a lover/stuffed animal/million blankets&pillows.
Pick me! Pick me! I love you! =D
I made a polyvore set!
www.polyvore.com/lynes_child/s…
I would wear it to my clowning class, to help with the little-girl-flounce character I’m working on right now… It would also be helpful to put on with some of my full skirts, to help give them a little outwards push. There are a few other outfits I can think of (backseamed stockings! going on a picnic! Giving my anthropology presentation! opening night parties!), but this one was the most fun to make on Polyvore….
I’m working valentines day so I’d wear it to work to make people smile! I’d flounce up and down the corridors all day then come home and fall asleep in it happy.
I would wear it on a date to the top of the Space Needle to dine with the stars.
Also, my band is playing a show on Valentine’s Day and this would be PERFECT to wear that night! : )
My debut gallery show is coming up. I will be displaying my art in a real gallery! And I would wear this tutu to the opening night!
I would want to wear a beret with it and a pair of levi’s jeans. I would also wear a white v-neck t-shirt and lots of big sparkly jewelry!
Thank you so much for running this radical self love month. I am really inspired Gala!
I would wear it to my international relations class full of very serious political science majors. They need to lighten up, and what better way to do that then showing them politics can be fancy! :)
As a bit of a tutu fanatic, i have longed and admired such items from afar! Stuck with the cheap But effective tutu’s of camden market london, i have been looking for THE perfect tutu to go punting along the rivers in cambridge in style ;)
I had a tutu once, but it was a conservative tutu made out of small layers of gray tulle on a gray jersey skirt. I bought it while studying in Italy and thought it was the greatest thing ever. I wore it over tights, I wore it over jeans, I wore it with tshirts and tank tops and slouchy cardigan sweaters. I wore it with flats and cowboy boots and big clunky heels. I wore it to school, I wore it to clubs, I wore it to watch my boyfriend’s band. But when I came home from Italy, I put on some weight and couldn’t wear the tutu anymore.
In my own journey of self-love, I’m getting myself into the best shape i can be in. And I would love to reward myself with a big huge obnoxiously flouncy tutu! I’m a flight attendant and I think I would wear it in all the cities I visit, sort of like the flight attendant in Amelie who took that garden gnome all over the world!
FIRST: I would have to wear it as a wig around the house. My sisters and I did this as little girlies all the time. Hee hee! So fun!
SECONDLY: I would (wearing it at my waist, like a normal person) trounce myself out into the snow with my cuddly boots and twirl to The Dance of the Sugar Plum Faeries all the while thinking ahead to the warm lucious-ness of my future home in Tennessee.
AND LASTLY: I would brush the snowflakes of my wonderful new tutu and proceed to wear it for at least 100 straight days.
I would wear it on my coming escapade to Disney Land! I would skip down main street Disney with a big bundle of balloons in one hand and sticky pink cotton candy in the other; don’t forget Minnie Mouse ears!
Oh Gala, how did you know I was dreaming of beautiful pink tutus against French rock music last night?!? Also hot men and guns but that’s another story.
I would wear such a tutu with one of my corsets or a Betty Boop shirt, and my ridiculous five-inch black pumps, topped off with amethysts and magenta fingerless gloves. And one of my wigs! I would of course wear this outfit for the baking and devouring (and sharing!) of strawberry Vday cupcakes, so I’ll need to accent it with an apron. Then maybe I would watch action movies or chick flicks, and draw gory valentines to scan and send to my beloved sweet entourage of gorygorgeous darlings. Oh, I love them so xoxo
I would wear it to my chemistry lecture just to scare the professor and the students!
I would wear it as I ace all my exams. Nothing to bring up the confidence like wearing a tutu to a physics exam!
I’ve never owned a tutu before and I always wanted to be a ballet dancer but, my mom put me into jazz dance instead. So to make up for the lost time, I would simply wear it everywhere!
You know, I think I’d wear it to defend my thesis. I’m serious. A woman confident enough to wear a tutu for the defense definitely knows what she’s talking about. And just might be eccentric enough to excel in academia.
Of course, I imagine it would also be fun for spicing up the mundane. Housework, grocery shopping—who doesn’t want a splash of colour and fluffy awesomeness?
I would wear it in the summer when there’s a warm, refreshing downpour outside. I would dance down the street, completely soaked, my tutu would be the only bright color in sight.
I would jump in puddles and try and catch raindrops in my mouth. Afterward I’d go inside, hang my tutu up to dry and make myself a hot cup of tea.
I’d wear it to dinner in my drab college dining hall. Everyone would be STUNNED!
I would wear it on a romantic Valentine’s day date, and I won’t stop jumping and spinning despite my boyfriend would think I’m crazy.And I would look as romantic as I’d feel :D
I’d wear a tutu to tea with the Queen because, well, just because.
I would wear this totally glamourific tutu to a date at the old fashioned arcade. Pin ball! Zombie Shooting! Dance Dance Revolution!
I’d wear this beautiful tutu with a black angora cardigan, black tigths, my black cowboy boots with pink swarovski cristals that I customized myself and lots of pearls and sparkly necklaces.
I’d wear it for Valentine’s and whenever I want to feel like a fairy tail princess :) XOXO
You posted horoscopes for 2010 a month ago. I’m an aries, which means these next few months are all about re-invention and a new style. I would wear this tutu to meet the new me who’ll be graduating the school of Radical Self-Love. I made a polyvore of what I’d wear with it: www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?i… . And just so you know, my friends and I love your blog! We’re participating in Radical Self-Love February.
I’d wear it in the summer – I would just walk bare feet in my favourite park and enjoy myself.
I’d also wear it to my exam to an art school. For luck :)
I would wear it while I’m studying for my exams!!
Oh, easy! I’d wear the tutu with bright gold woven leather flats, an over-sized black sweater, thick-rimmed frames and lose myself in my local public library!
I would wear it to work. I’m an Acupuncturist and I can just imagine my patients seeing this and smiling. I would wear a pink longsleeved shirt with it underneath my White tunic, it would be great to show that a doctor has a sense of fun and adventure too!
Doning her tutu and faveorite sparkly shoes,Queen Emma packed a wonderful picnic basket full of of magical sweet treats, champange, and decadent finger sandwiches for the trip.The first stop on her journey would be to kidnap her lover from academic prison, the seconde leg of the journey, with her lover by her side, would be to drive to a wonderful tropical beach where magically somone had abandoned a luxury yatch on which the royal couple would travel the world and discover a fantastic mermaid garden (mermaids covet her tutu)! As she loaded her samsonite suitcase and pick nick basket into her GM Karmann Giah she knew this would be the best weekend of her life, and a well timed phone call from her distant lover (“Happy valentines day darling, I love you ever so much.”) confirmed all of her dreams.
I work for the Prime Minister so I’d definitely wear it to work!!
I’d wear my tutu to meet my boyfriend’s notoriously cold mother for the first time.
Pink tutu, leather bomber jacket, black tights and my combat boots.
Surely a cold new england mother must love the sight of a flouncy tutu?
I’d imagine that after her initial shock, the boy and I would head out to a lovely cold weather date to the museum of science in Boston.
I would wear it at the candyfloss stall at a travelling night circus, while I whirled glossy clouds of pastel pink under the stars and handed them away to strangers filled whose sparkling eyes were filled with wonder from the magical performances they had just seen.
I’d wear it to Uni, along with my indispensable laptop and my trolley. When off, I would head to Copenhagen airport, where I would catch a plane to my boyfriend. In the evening we’d go eating and dancing at a blues bar with his friends, and finally take the hour-long bus drive home in a drunken mess of tulle and happiness. Ahhhh, I would love to own that dream of a skirt!
www.polyvore.com/lynne_bruning…
I would wear it to my wedding….I’m getting married on February 13th!!!!! :)
Honestly, I’d probably wear it everywhere! But, I’d definitely wear it to this nightclub “Shepards” in Clearwater on the Gulf. I can see myself outside by the ocean twirling around in the moonlight. It’d be perfect for a photo shoot too.
I felt so inspired after looking at Lynne Bruning’s site, I knew I couldn’t just write a comment. So I made my first ever Polyvore collage! Fun!
www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
I would wear it while ice skating down a long and winding river, and leave behind a trail of glitter and love.
I would wear it to the hospital to see my brand-new niece or nephew (due in a couple of months) while toting my Polaroid camera and a massive bright helium balloon and knitted blue monkey toy for the wee one.
I’d wear it on the days when the sky is gray, my mood is not so great, and i need somthing to make me feel beautiful, confident, and just wonderful. It would be a great piece of clothing to just feel good it!
I would wear it to the zoo, on rollerskates! I totally love the zoo and I think it’s flat enough to rollerskate there. Bonus points for having a giant extravagant tutu.
I would be wearing it the day that I finally tell my boyfriend to shove it! Then I would grab my bags and walk out….with him standing open mouth, lack of words….as I exit his life, in my tutu!!
i hawe one tutut, but its white, and i would LOVE a pink one. and i would just jump in my bed in my pink and yellow candycane room.
You must check my blog and you will see why I need the tutu! I will bring it to San Francisco with me where I’m meeting my hubby (who’s been in Dallas shooting a show) and I will put it on pronto – just like in the picture and….yes. LEAVE IT ON. I could show that tutu and my hubby what V day is all about. xxx
I would wear this to a festival and dance around joyfully until I couldn’t stand anymore!
www.polyvore.com/win_tutu_for_…
The rodeo parade is coming up. I’d definitely wear it to that! I’d have to find the perfect pair of boots in the meantime.
I would wear it
on a summer day
I would wear it
to my exam day
I would wear it
to work if I could
I would wear it
while hiking a mountain
I would wear it
While photographing a new city
I would wear it
when visiting my mother
I would wear it
while blogging
I would wear it…
ALL THE TIME!!
now, how is that for a poem? ;)
I would wear it to Paris, France! Just to take a photo of myself in it in front of the Eiffel Tower! Hah :)
I’d wear it on a Friday night when I’d be going to a concert and afterwards downtown.
You see I live in a southern college town and the Friday nights here start to feel a bit repetitive. Girls in obscenely short skirts, high heels, and drunken swagger who don’t dance at concerts for fear of looking silly (which in my personal opinion, if you don’t look just the tinniest bit silly while dancing, then you’re doing it wrong). But everyone starts to look the same, there’s nothing to distinguish them as they walk down the sidewalk to the next venue or in the dark lights of my favorite club.
I would wear that tutu on a Friday night with pride. I’d shimmy in and out of bars and clubs, dance my way across the sidewalks, and climb on stage to dance with the band.
I’d make it a Friday night (or Saturday morning, or Tuesday afternoon, anytime anywhere) to remember.
I would wear it to meet my boyfriend’s family for the first time. Just so they know what they’re getting into ;)
I’d wear it everywhere! Something that gorgeous needs to be shown off, no matter the occasion. :D
Gosh – where wouldn’t I wear it?! Hahaha. Okay, so… When dressed as a fairy, when morris dancing, when playing the violin at barndances, whilst doing insect curation at work (http://www.flickr.com/photos/evilibby/4311081601/ !!), to my lectures on Old and Middle English, whilst playing with my kitten, whilst doing charity work at Gorkha Learning for Life HQ, when babysitting my friend’s daughter (who would probably steal it!), and most definitely whilst snuggling in bed with my best friends!
Phew! And boy, that shop looks amaaa-aaa-aaazing!
I’d wear it to Disneyland, and I’d dance in the parade!
I would totally wear it while RIDING MY UNICORN!
I would show up in all of your dreams…
I’d go for a walk, do some shopping then plop down at a coffee shop and knit. I love love tutus :)
Day in a Tutu by Sparrow Designs featuring American Apparel socks
oops here is the set www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
come on, TUTUS MEAN BUSINESS.
I would never wear this in bed with a lover.
I would much rather wear it while masturbating.
After a mindblowing orgasm I would fill my bathtub with milk, eat strawberries and listen to Pulp.
I would wear the tutu when I’m sad like the color blue..
I would wear it cause it’s pink, I would wear it cause it’s true…
On the ice skating ring, I would eventually find my king, pretending to be a ballerina, feeling like the queen Maria.
I would feel like no one else, making my life a whole dance. Everyone would clap and bow, and everyone would like me to show my tutu that it’s not blue, it is pink and it’s so true !
I would wear it to skydive from an aeroplane and it would be my parachute!
To be honest, I probably wouldn’t wear it enough! But I am planning a lovely old-timey tea party, and it would look perfect accessorised with a floral tea cup and a piece of cake.
This tutu would definitely become my daily work wear. To wear a tutu while working on my new book in my orange room — Perfection!
My husband and I love to go on dates on vintage steam trains. We dress up crazy and pretend we’re victorian superheroes off to save the queen from mechanical dinosaurs, or German officers off to join the war effort (we live in NZ so this is all rather silly, especially the bit where we insist on only talking German). I would love to wear it on one of our steam train adventures and he and I will have a photo shoot with the boiler. It will be fantabulous!
i would wear it to my ballet class. while everyone else practiced in sweats and baggy t-shirts, i would dance my way through class in this fabulous piece.
I don’t have any tutus and would love this one. I would wear it to a sushi and karaoke party for my birthday!
Here’s my poem!!
Are you ready?
——
There once was a beautiful tutu
But Gala couldn’t figure out who to give it to…to.
(Oh gawd this is a bad start…)
So she held a contest
for her nonpareils dearest
And hopefully the winner is Alyssa Vu Vu!
I would wear to a bakery
Or on days I felt like Misery
This tutu would bring me a smile
While I went jogging in it for miles
—-
Damn, I’m good :P
I would have a picnic in the Botanical Gardens and wear it with bare feet and a singlet and challenge my friends to races around the fountain :) Tutu, my friends and I would have a magical day! I would even make pink cupcakes especially for eating while en tutu.
I would wear it to the former accounting office that I used to work at, skip around every single one of the desks, blowing bubbles and throwing confetti on every person. I would then circle the water cooler for a victory lap, wrapping streamers around it and the people standing there.
They would enjoy it so much that it would become a weekly ritual. :D
Oh my! That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
I’d wear it to the library – the library in my town has the most beautiful 19th century round Reading Room, where I spend huge amounts of time working and reading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File I’d wear it with chunky flat boots and strings of pearls and bury myself in a pile of poetry and novels.
Then I’d swap the boots for the high heels I’d have in my bag and go out dancing with my friends :)
I would wear it going to the market. I’d be flouncing around sticking my nose in hot pink tulips and munching on cinnamon roles.
Ooooooh, I’d wear that gorgeous tutu anywhere and everywhere!
My friend and her husband are going through a really stressful time right now, particularly with this lolconomy. I would arrange for her and her husband to spend a night out on the town, while I swoop over in my beautiful tutu and babysit her three young children. I’ll have made 3 mini-tutus for them to wear, and we’d get up to all sorts of hijinks and magical adventures! Icecream would be served for supper, and bedtime would be optional, of course.
how fun!!! i’d wear it anywhere i felt like being cute. haha which is most places if not all.
I would totally wear it to my upcoming exams at university! You know, when everyone expects you to appear in a white blouse and a black pencil skirt, I would totally go for a crazy tutu and nail the exam with an A+!! ;)
i would wear it on the streets of zurich, where people will stare just as much as they did when i was walking on the main street barefoot. i would wear it when i’ll have a rendez-vous avec my best friend next long weekend. i would wear it in front of my dad when he’ll yell at me and tell me to put pants on. i would wear it at Laduree. i would wear it in modern museums. i would wear with a hoodie and eat macaroons and sit next to fountains.
oh i’ve never owned or worn a tutu before! i’d wear it to
-boring lectures
-Sunday brunch
-a baby shower
I am taking my 9 year old cousin to get her ears pierced for Valentines Day, and have been seeking the ideal apparel. What could be more festive than an adorable tutu for spending the day with my inner child and favourite cousin?
Obviously I would wear it with my purple unicorn horn. It would also come to bonnaroo with me for the parade! Plus just any other random day, it’s always tutu time in my universe.
I’d wear it to my favourite literary cafe with my best friend and sit and jam on the guitar there for a while, drink some rose and lemon tea and read a bit of Falkner, maybe start work on a short story… and then I’d head down to my favourite cafe for the best giant cupcakes in the city!
I would wear it everywhere as a kind of anti-armor. A reminder to bravely and generously be myself.
I’d wear it to go fishing!
That tutu, old but dear band tee, some ripped stockings, arm candy & black boots and I would be ready to rock at my favorite band’s concert & fall in love with the sweaty boy screaming the lyrics next to me.
I would wear it with chucks, argyle socks and go dancing!
it would make everything more fun.
I’d wear it with one of my many feathered headpieces, extra long silk gloves and purple lipstick. Then, I would most definitely go my favourite fetish club!
OH MY GOD, GALA. i just died.
if i had a magnificent fairy-tale tutu, i would wear it out into the streets of ithaca (the hippie/college town where i go to school in upstate new york). there’s all sorts of colorful creatures wandering about during the weekends, so i would use my feminine wiles, my awkward stance, my quick wit, & my tip-top pink tutu to attract my unsuspecting secret-agent-lover-man and bring him back to my room so we could listen to funny music & play in bed all day.
i would wear it to a valentine’s day themed party! if i didn’t have one to go to, then i would just wear it around the house and have my own party with my boyfriend and cat and look absoultely fabulous being surrounded by people (and animals!) that love me.
I’d wear it out shopping, out for lunch, to shows! Anywhere I could! and then use it at home to torment my cats with (they love my poofy skirts for some reason).
I’d wear it to class, to remind myself that not everything is research and papers and books.
I am so bored of the redundancy of jeans. I need something to shake it up. A fanciful tutu could do just that. Obviously a girl needs a power tutu to help her brave the dark depths of the world, and with District band, possibly region band, and the biggest event of this year, drum major tryouts, I’m going to need all the power I can get. I’d wear it almost anywhere. I’d take over the world! I mean, really, you won’t fall into the background wearing a tutu, no ma’am.
Oh, and it would be a start on a whole new Annette. One who barely ever wears a black t-shirt and jeans. One who struts her stuff, standing out, never giving up.
The tutu would stand for resiliency and all of its goodness.
Wouldn’t it be absolutely dandy, marvelous, and all that, for me to get to experience the wonders of a tutu for the first time in my life?
I’d wear it EVERYWHERE! But I could start on a first date >:D
I would wear it on my first date with the cute smart guy from my class. The skirt would give me enough courage to ask him out. We’d go on a picnic and i’d feed him grapes while his head’s resting on my knees. Afterwards, we’d spend the afternoon at an abstract painting class at the local musem, where we’d go crazy with the paint, throwing it at the canvas. To finish the day off, we’d go to see a live sports game. While there, we’d cheer on the teams and my skirt would catch the attention of the guy managing the camera, effectively getting bot me and the boytoy on the big screen.
and with that, my day would be complete :)
The fantastical tu-tu
I would wear to the zoo.
All the animals would see
Me with a done-up mane
Dancing down the lane
Eating cotton candy!
I’m going to wear my fabulous tutu and take a huge bunch of colourful balloons for my scrumptious husband, when I go to play mini-golf and drink sparkling wine, with him.
I would wear it to my friend’s birthday bash, where neon tights have been made a must! Or to work on a Friday (our busiest and most fun days). Or as a crinoline under one of my favorite dresses… just leaving a few ruffly-bits popping out of the bottom hem.
Here’s just one of my ideas: www.polyvore.com/tutu/set?id=1…
This tutu would be a part of many adventures, including but certainly not limited to:
- never ending bus rides when the wearer brings only her camera and good conversation.
- climbing to the roof of her duplex to watch the parade on the street below, bringing along with her a watering can full of confetti and glitter.
- shows downtown, dancing with myself amid those to self-conscious to do so themselves, and making friends with them afterward. maybe they just need a little bit of the confidence this tutu bestows on the wearer ;)
First I’d wear it to the petshop to get a pet hamster with my boyfriend, then we’d go eat ice cream with our new little friend. :)
I would wear it to the Tim Burton exhibit in NYC and then out dancing with a group of friends in the city, and Gala you would be invited to join!
I would wear my tutu when I visit Chicago for Springbreak! I’d pair it with a t-shirt (either my Michael Jackson one, or my pink and grey sorority v-neck).
When asked what i wanted to be when i grow up? my standard answer without hesitation was: a fairy princess :). I’ve always dreamt of having my very own tutu, and been very much envious of my ballerina best friend Im all about spreading the love and chocolate cupcakes so i would home bake cupcakes put on my lovely tutu and go hand out cupcakes at a childrens home. For met thats what valentines is really about, spreading the love to those less fortunate.
I’m thinking a tutu like that needs to be worn as often as possible! It’s a must for birthday dinners and celebrations and after parties, so I think that’s what I’d do with it first!
Oh
sweet little
tutu; could you
please be mine, that
I might wear you every
where? That I might turn
every head I pass? That your
ruffles might sit so sweetly on my
knees? During dance class, real class.
Oh my
sweet
tutu. I
would
wear
and
love
you
always.
Sloshing through brown grass with the ground so saturated that water is sitting on top I noticed little green fronds of new grass barely beginning to poke out from under the matted brown stuff I figured out where I would wear this lovely tutu.
I would wear it on my first trip to the arboretum this spring. With how unseasonably warm it has been this year we should be spring before the end of the semester. With my camera and a good book in hand I would hike through the arboretum with a pair of black leggings, this tutu and a nice cardigan. Snapping pictures of all the crab apples and lilacs in bud. Not to mention dancing through the masses of blooming forsythia.
Then I would find my favorite spruce grove, where the violets blanket the ground and perfume the air, and spread out to enjoy a good book.
I’m a huge tutu fan but when I got pregnant, I became too big for all of my funwear.
If I won the tutu I’d wear it to wake my daughter up in the morning. She’d be mystified by how fun I look that she’d want to put hers on as well. We would spend the day jumping on my bed and singing Letter People. I’d be twirling in circles just to see the pink cloud encircling me. We’d then invite her stuffed animals to the lawn to have a dancing tutu tea party. After bedtime I’d take out my pink and black hoop and dance until I’m drunk with bliss.
I’d wear it for my February 14th “Housewarming/Single and happy on Valentine’s day” party! Just perfect! :D
xox
I would wear it on the last day of school…ever!
i finish for good in May and it would really be a show stopping exit ^^
xoxo
My birthday is two days after Valentine’s Day. I always take the day off from work, walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, have oysters and chowder for lunch at the Grand Central Oyster Bar, go to a museum, maybe take in a movie, drink champagne in the afternoon while making my resolutions for the next year and gather some people together in the evening. I do think a fabulous new tutu would be the perfect thing to wear.
I would wear this tutu to my university graduation, with a sparkly tank top, leather jacket, and converse sneakers. Take THAT stuffy, boring academia!
i’d sit on the windowsill on monday evening, watch the sunset while drinking red wine and smoking cheap cigarettes.
i’d wear it on thursday night at an alternative club to watch some underground movies.
i’d pair it with my black leather jacket and boots when going for a walk with my little brother who definitely wants to put his head under the skirt.
i’d wear it to work when there’s a metal band coming to the club where i work and dance on the table while there’s soundcheck on the stage.
mmmmmm… (:
I would put the tutu on and jump on a trampoline!!
What a lovely tutu!
I’d wear it to a heavy metal concert so my friends can find me amongst all the black! :D
I’d wear it whilst square-dancing at my favorite venue in NYC. Nothing would look better being twirled around the dance floor than me in that tutu—that’s for sure!
I’d wear it to work, technically it abides by our dress code :)
I would wear it to a Valentine’s dance…and finally get the courage to ask him to dance.
I would literally wear that tutu everywhere. i’ve never owned a tutu in my life, and i’ve always dreamed of wearing one. specifically, if i had to choose one specific place to wear it, i’d wear it ice skating… how beautiful would it be to twirl and jump on the ice with the billowing tutu… it’d be dreamlike if you’d ask me (:
As my school uniform is “office wear” , I’d have to wear it to school! Maybe it’s a valentines heart-shaped-cards company’s office? Maybe theres a flamboyent office at a plush factory? I’m sure that the art department would love it! Sachaying into physics with a tutu on will make oscillation much more interesting, but I’d have to make sure it wasn’t on a day where we do chemistry, Bunsen burners are a huge no go! But I’ll have to find some pink boots to match, Germany is chilly in the winter :)
www.polyvore.com/just_school_d…
I would wear it with ruby red slippers and a crazy hairstyle, pump some Lady Gaga – amd go jumping and twirling on a jumping castle with my awesomest twin sister (then we would switch clothes so she could have atwirl in the tutu also!)
I would first wear that tutu when I go dog walking. Show them crazy dog-walkers you can still be super cute :)
After that, I’d wear anywhere and everywhere.
I think one of the worst decisions I made when I was desperate for money was selling my tutu only ebay! I wore it everywhere – cause what’s the point in skirts if they don’t have a tutu underneath them!
If i had it right now I’d throw it on, run down the road and go out dancing! (much twirling would happen!)
I would wear it in a fantastical book fort; complete with quilts,pillows, twinkly lights, Dorothy Parker, Lady Grey Tea and my fluffalicious cat.
=0.0=
I would wear it every day, especially when dancing, cooking, reading, and playing with kittens.
I would wear it in my wee flat, prance around baking cupcakes and sipping on kir royales… then invite the girls over for a ballerina party!
I would wear it with a warm sweater and a scarf, and run off to the park. I would swing on the swings and laugh at how the tutu flounced back and forth in the air.
Maybe I would go for a run around the track there too, and see how all the tired, middle-aged women react to a bright tutu on a cold, dreary day. I know they frown at most of the teenagers that cut through the park, but I think they might smile at the colour.
Into my 7th grade English classroom! The kids would love it and the teachers would grumble about it. I’d wear my tiara (like normal) and dance to kidzbop (like normal). We’d forget about grades and rules and standardized testing for a bit — laugh and have fun!
I would simply wear it everywhere! But especially come up to my birthday at the end of Feb – cocktails and dancing the night away. x
I think I would wear it on the plane to Melbourne we’re I’m starting my new life – I think I would wear it with some black stockings, silver sequined flats and my black tshirt with zombie hands on it.
I think it would be the perfect outfit to start a new life with xx
I would wear it to walk my dog!
I have a little poodle mix and I would put bows in her hair and feel very French walking her in a tutu, lovely buttoned up cream blouse and kitten heels.
Je t’adore!
So gorgeous! I can see myself wearing it barefoot on the beach, frolicking in the sand. Hand in hand with my boy. Yum!
I would totally wear this tutu on a Valentine’s Picnic with my lover. As it’s Winter over here and I live by the sea so it’s even colder, I would have to wear it with thick black tights and my pink Doc Martens (my lover’s favourite shoes of mine!!). On my top half I would have a pretty silky black blouse and my leather jacket. The picnic would take place on the beach with pink champagne and all manner of pink treats :)
I would wear this amazing tutu on Friday nights (every Friday night) to mark the weekly occurrence of girl’s night!! I have just made plans to stay with a friend who lives alone and finds Wednesdays and Fridays particularly lonely. (Wednesdays are better for a different friend) So I get Friday!! Best day of the week!! We can watch soppy, girly DVD’s (Yus Rom-Coms!!), eat cookie dough (yes that is an adequate dinner for two gals, maybe more) paint our nails, curl our hair, do Kim Kardashian fit in-to your jeans by Friday aerobics DVD (to work off the cookie dough), stalk people on facebook and the best activity: WADING THROUGH GALADARLING.COM’S AWESOMENESS!! See?? A tutu would complete my Friday. Fingers crossed!!
I’d wear this to college — everyone there already thinks I overdress, this would really be pushing it.
I would wear it with… elegance, strings of pearls, ballet flats, lace, florals, high heels, pink lipstick, vintage headscarves and glitter. I would… sketch, write, walk along the beach in it collecting shells and daydream about fairytale romance in this beautiful garment.

I would wear to family dinner, as we are meeting for Chinese New Year. Imagine how fun that would be!
Today, as I pondered tutu adventures, I had the opportunity to wander through an abandoned opera house. The building is beautiful and absolutely haunted. It’s apparent that it was a completely grand building in the early 1900’s, but very dilapidated now. Although many of the fixtures had been removed, much of the marble (from tile to railing) remains. I wandered from below the stage all the way up to a ladder that ran to the top of the building. In the basement there was a raffle hopper and as far up as I could get there was an ancient film projector. What an amazing experience! I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to go back into the theatre before its remodel with a photographer and wear a lovely tutu for a few photos of light hearted fun meets dilapidation and vandalism.
Imagine standing in the middle of a street, the buildings towering over your head, the sounds that would blur together, the colours that would keep spinning and passersby stopping to watch the blissful happiness shining out of me as I stood in the middle of the street, streatching my arms out, and spinning around. Like you used to when you were a kid. The way it feels to be in love; dizzy, confusing, beautiful in all it’s not-knowing-if-you-will-fall-or-not-ness. I know, if I would experience a moment like that, I would be wearing a tutu, a Lynne Bruning tutu !
xoxo
I’d throw a party just for the excuse to wear this fab frilly flounceathon! There’d be no other reason for the party, other than to look fantastic.
I’d wear that fantastical tutu at my friend’s home in the country, while playing with their baby son. He would greatly appreciate the flouncing ability as we danced around. I’d wear it while relaxing with my dog outside and drawing. I’d wear it when I’m saving snails after a heavy rain so they know I mean no harm. I’d wear it to class, to the store, and while building room size blanket forts in rooms. In short, I’d wear this dream of a tutu any time I needed to add whimsy into a sometimes much too serious life!
I’d wear it at home, because I like to dress up without reason!
I’d dance around the park, twirling around and then fall onto the ground in a paddock of long grass daydreaming.
I’d sit on the couch in my house watching inspiring movies, eating cupcakes in my slippers.
I’d take a mountain of photos of me spinning around wearing it :)
I’d think about what would’ve happened if I hadn’t given up ballet at the age of 6, I’d have the chance to live that dream of wearing a tutu.
I’d go to the beach and put my bare feet in the hot sand, and dance in the waves.
All wearing a tutu.
:)
I would wear it under my favourite 50’s skirt for extra bounce while at work. I’d wear it on it’s own, over my white and purple striped skirt. I’d wear it over a black sequinned body to go to my fave goth night.
Most of all though I’d wear it with sparkly silver tights and chinese slippers, a white silk lacy camisole and my leopard cardigan. Me and my honey would go for strawberry and cream milkshakes in Juicafe, then go for a walk in our local park, Williamson’s Park, with a trail heading up to the Peace Pagoda, then trailing down to Ashton Memorial, with a break spent looking out to sea. Then we would walk through the forest and sit in the open air theatre to share a snack and a bottle of Rose.Then we’d meet some friends at our favourite pub, have a few drinks and some chinese food. We’d finish the night by cuddling up and watching a film together.
I would wear it with a sexy bra, garters and heels for a surprise when the boy comes home ;) aaaaaand I would wear it with heels and a cute top out hitting the town hehe :D
i’d wear it with big heart glasses to give out free hugs and valentines and chocolate to everyone on the street here in montreal on valentines day.
2010 will be all about change and transformation for me, so I’d wear it to a meeting with my Ex and kick his ass!
First of all, I would go to the candy store in town and buy a huge lollipop and cotton candy. Hopefully a cute puppy or a adorable guy will follow me out of the store. Then, I (or we) would head over to the video store and look at all the romantic comedies, making very loud comments, giggle our heads off (me more than him probably :D ) and when we are done with our hysterical fits of laughter, we would finally head over to the counter to pay, a little too drunk on life. Again, we would have to fill our arms with yummy delicious treats galore. Paying for our exorbitant amount of pleasureful candies and with a romantic movie to enjoy later, we would give the cashier a free lollipop that we just purchased and head out on our way. Saving the movie for later, we would head to the Town Square and wiht big smiles plastered on our faces, we would hand out heart shaped chocolates, pink lollipops, and deliciousness to children and grim faced passerbys in the hopes of spreading some Valentine’s Day CHEER and LOVE! Then we would skip up and down the streets like complete clowns in love with our lives and each other, sprinkling goodness and love behind us wherever we go. . .reveling, dancing, filled with enthusiasm, joy, and ecstasy as Gala-inspired souls!!!!!!!!!! ;) Finally we would drive home at the end of the day singing love songs at the top of our lungs with the windows down, for all the world to hear! AND LOVE LOVE LOVE WOULD FILL OUR HEARTS AND RUN IN OUR BLOOD!
XOXOXO
Katya
Oooooh baby I need this tutu. In total honesty I have been looking for one for aaaaaaages and this one is perfect!
I want to wear it to a party I have coming up and then to all kinds of places after that. Wouldn`t it be divine on the beach at sunset? —- and maybe sunrise too ;)
Fingers and toes crossed that this divine piece of pure joy will be mine.
LOVE YOU Gala Darling xx

I’d have that amazing tutu screaming out behind me as I teared up the tarmac on a mint Indian motorcycle.
Or alternatively skipping between back alley bars getting crunk on vodka and tonics. :)
I’d wear it on a date, paired with killer heels :D
I would wear it with cowboy boots a pair of wings and a heart shaped bubble gun and play cupid on valentine’s shooting heart-shaped bubbles to strangers
out swingdancing!! imagine how swooshy it would be!!
I would wear it to mardi gras!
or to my weekly bootydancing classes.
krump up a frothy storm. hehe!
Since I hope to celebrate my upcoming 21st birthday with a fabulous hotel dance party, I would twirl around on the balcony, dance on the mini-bar, and, naturally, jump on the bed in my tutu. Throw on a tiara and it’s the perfect birthday girl piece!
frolicking around my neighborhood and to yoga class! headstand in a tutu woo woo!
Ahá ! Just had a great idea ! I’m planning my journey around the world, and I was thinking of making a special picture in every country/city/state (you know like the guy who took the gnome for a world-tour), but something mine, that hasn’t been done yet (there is already with a dance, with an alcohol bottle..) Something feminine, unique and crazy.. Just got it ! With a TUTÚ ! Thank you Gala anyways, you did light up my bulb :) !
At my school, girls tend to stick to uggs with sweatpants and sweatshirts in the winter. I’d toss a tutu on with some magenta tights/leggings and gray uggs, with a white shirt (my staple fashion item). Accessorize it with big sunglasses, a chunky bracelets, and a heart necklace. I’d be the envy of my entire university, and I would definitely have people staring…which is the point.
ALSO, I would totally don it for my birthday, which just happens to be coming up ON Valentine’s day!

ALSO, I would totally don it for my birthday, which just happens to be coming up ON Valentine’s day! I would wear it bowling, too! :)
where wouldn’t i wear it? i’ve never had the pleasure of wearing one so once i actually put it on, i think i’d never take it off….i’m turning 40 and it’s high time i got my tutu on!
I’d wear it with my docs and my tiara, a smart shirt, stripy pink-and-purple scarf and thick tights. I’d wear it whilst out and about in my dreary English suburb-town, to bring a touch of colour and excitement to the place and smiles to the faces of all the adults and children alike. Then in the evenings I’d wear it to sushi bars and nightclubs, pubs and theatres to keep the fun going all night long.
I would wear it all the time and everywhere. When I’m at home on a rainy day (such as today) watching musicals. When I go midnight bowling with my friends. When I go downtown with my boyfriend to pretend we’re in our own personal movie. I’d wear it when I’m happy. I’d wear it when I need to be happy.
Also, this year one of my resolutions was to wear more pink, so that Tutu would be absolutely perfect for me.
I imagine wearing that tutu on a lazy Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I would lay around in it, run down the halls and bother my floormates in it, and later on go to a party on campus in it. I would dance around, avoid spilled drinks, and later go out to my favorite cupcake store to find the frosting to match the tutu. :)
That tutu is really a dream.
I would wear it simply everywhere I go, I have so many things to combine it with. I’d mainly wear it to show everyone my love for purple/violet and to encourage people to be more open-minded, I want to bring colour in their lives. They shouldn’t just stare with their open mouthes, but wear bright colours themselves. This world seriously is too grey!
As I’m moving to Berlin next week, I will find a job in some English-speaking-only bookshop and will wear the tutu to work! Definitely with the white scarf my mom knitted for me, my 80’s style sweater (or a kickass hoodie), blue mittens and my new round, granny glasses. Then I would get some pair of candid ear-muffs or satin bunny ears. Fake eye-lashes, leggins and crazy-hot shoes i cant even walk in. Et voila: the iCiNG librarian! Who wouldn’t buy a book from me?!?
www.polyvore.com/jadore_tutu/s…
Oh how I heart TuTus! I am an aerialist so I would wear this whilst performing to Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” on the trapeze. For serious. I’ll send you the video.
Since I’m visiting my soon-to-be boyfriend this Valentine’s Day, I’d wear it then!
BUT. This story has a twist. He’s currently doing his training for the army, so I’d wear it to the army base. He’s a great catch and I’d have to dress my best to impress all those silly army boys. I’m quite certain most girls on base don’t wear frilly pink tutus. Only a sweet girl who doubles as a princess like me could! Ha ha!
But after that I’d be very, very brave and wear it to classes. My college campus isn’t known for its edgy fashion (quite the opposite!) but a pink tutu would not only make me feel beyond fabulous, it would be something different! No jeans and t-shirt for me thanks. I’ll take a fluffy tutu.
(Also. My new blog has the polyvore set I made for it! Squee!)
wow. ummm well vday is my 3yr anniversary. so i would definitely wear it all that day. i would want to a trampoline and jump on it. and then a dinner date. it would be dazzling. i would wear this with a black shirt… some peices in my hair. tights and converse… maybe vans.
Ooh I’ve always wanted a tutu! So many wonderful answers, everyone! Um, I would definitely wear this to walk my doberman to the park and eat pastries. We (my doggy and I) do this together with a cup of coffee every Sunday morning and it would be even more lovely in a pink tutu. Also, I’d probably wear it to any festival I ever go to, it would match my pink fluffy festival hat perfectly!
id wear the tutu with a bright yellow singlet, complete with a black, yellow and pink featherd tiara, on a alice and wonderland themed party boat, bouncing on a trampoline in the middle of the pacific ocean on a warm sunny day. complete with magical an delicious cupcakes and fizzy pink champagne, throwing glitter and metallic confetti everytime i bounce, then findind a bed to jump on, bursting the pillows open and roll about in fluffy white feathers !
I’d wear it to the library!
I would wear it to my Catholic School of Horror to visit (even though I’ve graduated now). It would be coupled with dangly crucifix necklaces, much like Madonna in the 80s. Smeary makeup and combat boots.
i’d wear this to frolic around at the park! and at the beach, barefood! then i’d pair it with killer boots to party it up in town =) i forsee fun times with this tutu!
ohhhh, tutu wearing madness, sounds fantastic
I would totally wear a tutu down Lambton Quay where I will be skipping and making weird animal faces and have a coffee in one hand and my boyfriends hand in the other
I’d wear it to Saturday morning Yoga class!
I’d wear it to work, scooping ice cream!
I’d put my 2 year old little sister in her fairy dress, wear my tutu and go to the beach or the park for a photo shoot!
I have a perfect occasion waiting for a cool tutu like that! I just got a spanking new cruiser. It’s metallic white, pink grips and rims, white streamers and rainbow decorations on it. It’s the coolest bike on the world and the first ride with it in the upcoming spring just screams for a proper outfit.
Lynne’s tutu and silver Jeremy Scott for Adidas sneakers with wings on them would be the perfect match for my bike. Riding down the hill fast, wind on my face and sun on my red hair. Screaming for happines and excitement. A bubble machine taped on my bike leaving a stream of bubbles floating on the air after me.
Soon the whole neighbourhood will know me in my tutu and my strange bubble making cruiser bike, that keeps terrible noise while passing people ‘cause of the neon colored plastic 80’s decorations added to it’s rims.
Ohhh to own a tu tu! Every girl’s dream of course!
To celebrate such a momentous occasion of owning said Tutu, I would gather up my closest friends and have a night of Tutu wearing, tea drinking, park frolicking madness!! A truly amazing night, I am sure. First taking all of our tea cups to a local Park ( or perhaps even on my college campus) and drink all the Tea we can handle ( hot tea is optional). Then do what My friends and I tend to do when we get together; take many many photos!!
A truly perfect celebration!
I give you a haiku:
Oh, divine tutu!
I’ll rock your sassy bounce-flounce…
Would church be too much?
to classs! :)
I’d wear it on days when I had absolutely no reason to wear it, or anything else. Down the street to get a hot dog. Taking my cat for a walk (that’s right). Or for sleeping in. & right about now I’d pair it with a big appalling fir coat. Though I can imagine that in the summer, a nice white tank, a la Carrie Bradshaw would be fitting.
Well, I’m running a half marathon [in Austin!] on Valentine’s Day [and have been training madly for it!]. Post run, shower, and nap my boyfriend plans to shower me with love and affection and I’d wear this beautiful tutu to show off my gorgeous marathon legs when my beau takes me to eat cupcakes and enjoy dinner and a classic romance movie at Alamo Drafthouse.
So, so cute. I would wear it a picnic in a park on a lovely spring day. Or, to an art opening with a nice pair of stilletos.
I would totally wear that on the first springy day to the top of a countryside hill and reset my brain, feel pretty and lie in flowers.
obviously i’d wear it to have a bedroom party with the boy i like – can you imagine the floofing that would result from bouncing on the bed?! ah!
Would the grocery store be little over indulgent?
I would wear it while at university, just to prove to the Art History majors that English & Digital Cultures majors can have fun dressing up too!
I would have to wear it to a late spring dinner. It would be outside, canopied, on a lovely Italian style terrace. The table and place settings would be glittering, the candlelight dancing off of people’s faces. Lotsa wine and conversation. Paired with bare feet, black tank top, royal blue nails, and a giant chain necklace.
I’d wear this fabulous tutu on a late night adventure in my small town. My sister and I love to drive around and shop and get fast food, so I’d work this at the mall buying nail polish, McDonald’s sipping iced coffee, Goodwill hunting for old concert tees, and at Blockbuster renting bad movies. Full outfit: www.polyvore.com/untitled/set?...
I would wear it to an impromptu tea party thrown with all my girlies (most of whom own tutus too!) – definitely with biker boots and a wicked headdress. We would sip tea from china cups and make pink cupcakes to match our tutus!
I would love to wear this tutu everywhere, but I would definitely have to find a way to rock it at church. I know some very cool old ladies (psychedelic ladies who lunch?) who would totally approve :)
I would totally wear this to drop off both my boys (3 and 4) at kindergarten each morning. It woud show all the other mums that just because you have kids doesn’t mean you need to give up on yourself or your style. Plus I’m sure all the little girls in the classes would just about faint seeing a life size fairy walk into their class! Hot mumma’s in tutus rock!
I would wear it on days when I just needed to cheer up and be happy. I would also wear it to a rcok & roll cabaret that I’m singing two songs in at work. How sweet!
I would wear the tutu absolutely EVERYWHERE! paired with some crazy-ass jewelry and a statement t-shirt, of course. i would totally wear it while I’m performing. and so, a tutu-haiku:
The rippling pleats
Caress my thighs as I sing
To my dear tutu!
I’d plan a tea party with my boyfriend, our two dogs, and two cats. and of course we will play dress up with the tutu being the star of the party
Oh the places I’d wear this beauty.
On a picnic.
To the store.
I’d wear nothing but this beautiful tutu and dance around in front of the mirror.
They’d have to pry it off me!
EVERYWHERE! No place is an inappropriate one for a tutu!
Check out My Villain in a Tutu…in the rain.
www.polyvore.com/villain_in_tu…
I would wear it to my last class of semester, hopefully in some nice, springy, April weather. It will scare the sweatpants and uggs off all my classmates!
I would then flounce my way to the local candy shop to celebrate my freedom. :)
It’s beautiful! I’d wear it everywhere and all the time, except for in the office :) I’d take colour-themed pictures in it and then go dancing.
I’d wear it to school on my birthday later this month!
As any sixteen year old like myself would do, I would wear it rockin’ out to some Cranberries and Nirvana tunes while telling secrets to my bestfriend about crushes, dreams and wild fantasies. We’d then dress up totally awesome like and ship down to our favorite hang out place at sunset holding hands giggling the entire way and do some youthful, careless things.
I would wear it to none other than New York Fashion Week so I can do cartwheels with Betsey Johnson.
I would wear it to a friends party and take lots of pictures. Also, I would wear it to the park, where me and the boyfriend like to picnic and walk the dog. It would make any activity even more fabulous!
I’d wear it with my navy-blue vans and a band/black tee shirt to Soundwave when I take my boyfriend for his birthday later this month!
I would wear it on my 16th birthday in April.
A spring birthday with a fun bright colored tutu, it would be fabulous!
After my birthday I would wear it whenever I needed a little pick me up to feel great about myself.
Or perhaps I could wear it to the tea party I have been planning for ages. Either way there are many occasions that I could wear it to.
I would wear it on days when I felt I needed additional happiness in my life.It would be heartbreaking to classify or justify wearing a tutu on one simple occasion. It should be something fun and love provoking just for yourself.It is difficult to feel down, depressed or heartbroken when you are wearing a fab tutu. It would help remind me that I am an extraordinary female and that life is just simply good. To be grateful for what i have, and get excited about the things I am going to learn. Tutu’s can assist a gal in feeling confidant, brave and utterly remarkable.. yes with one piece of clothing this is possible!
Ahhhh, yes. The tanilizing tutu. A fantastic commodity that every girl, everywhere, should have. Alas, I am without the glorious, flounce-iful company of a tutu of my very own. If I were to be graced by the splendiforous gift of this tutu, I am quite positive that I would wear it… everywhere.
Would I wear it with combat boots and fishnets whilst I mix volitile concoctions during chemistry class? Yes. Would I wear it with 4 inch heels and a fabulous belt on a first date to a less-than-fabulous diner? Why, of course. Would I wear it with a tank top and no shoes while I serenade my hometown with folksy renditions of Lady GaGa songs on my ukulele? Without a question, my darling. I would even wear it by itself. And nothing else. Nothing at all. Quite a glamourous way to go commando, I must say. And on Valentine’s Day! How appropriate…
A tutu of this “magni-tutu-de” is the perfect way to dress up the day. It automatically makes everything ten times more GLAMOUROUS (in all caps, yes of course) and FAR more interesting. A tutu would be the perfect way to save me from pulling on my ratty old sweats in the morning, throwing my hair in a bun, and starting the day. Instead, an eye-pleasing tutu, scrumptious heels, and a cat’s-eye to bring it all together.
A tutu would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe. In just a few words? Eye candy. Simply eye candy.
I will wear my tutu while writing my book proposal. While grocery shopping for my new Raw Food lifestyle. While kissing my boyfriend. While studying for my grad program. I will wear my tutu and learn the art of the flounce. Grazie dear Gala! Grazie!
I would wear it for my wedding reception in August! And then, I’d probably wear it for the rest of the warm summer days and nights. :)
I would wear it with a black tank top, and high sexy black heels! I’d curl my hair and do my make up with bright pink eyeliner, and more glitter than you could imagine! I’d put this get up on, and go out to dinner with my boyfriend and maybe a movie =]
I would do my hair all proper and don it to an abandoned house we have in the neighbourhood. Contrast photo shoot will ensue!
My new year’s resolution (which I made last week because I procrastinate) was to model my life around one word. I chose ‘exquisite’; and what could be more exquisite than a tutu? I will wear it with black tights, a black Siouxsie tee, and ballet flats (natch) to get my first tattoo or piercing (I haven’t decided which to do first, but I’m getting whichever next month!). I need something to keep me brave. :)
Oh How I love this!
After much deliberation I have decided I would dress it down for an extravagant Valentine’s Day kitchen escapade. After the cookies are finished I’d flounce around to see all my favourite friends and deliver my home-made treats.
Here is what I came up with with the help of polyvore: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
I just had a pretty bad breakup, so my Valentine’s Day is gonna be a wee bit melancholy… which just means I have to amp up the self-love! Therefore, I would definitely wear this tutu to my own luxurious one-person party, to drink champagne, eat chocolate, snuggle with my cat/teddy bear/duvet, write myself extravagant love poems, etc. Obviously a pink tutu is the perfect item to do this in. Particularly if I’m wearing just the tutu & nothing else. ;)
I would wear it to Whole Foods! xoxo
Well most importantly, I’d wear it for my two roommates and dear friends Sam and Evelyn. We have made a pact to romance each other on Valentine’s Day-no men allowed! Our respective partners will just have to wait their turns. Sam is getting the chocolate, Evelyn is getting the wine and I’ll be getting the flowers. We are making fondue and dressing up all fancy for each other-this is why a tutu is so important! And just to prove that I’m not too shy to wear it out…we’ll go dancing and photograph the evidence!
I would where this amazing fantastical tutu anywhere (and everywhere) that others would find inappropriate. This means my incredibly conformist and preppy school, my conventional and buttoned-down church, and anywhere else that fits my current fancies. A tutu such as this deserves to be worn everywhere!!!
A lovely tutu like that?
I would definitely have to wear it every chance I got. I would wear it during music festivals, while getting coffee with my love, while rummaging through thrift stores…I might even dare to wear it on a roller coaster!
And, I would have to let my cousin and best friend, both dancers, borrow it whenever they wanted.
It could be the beginning of changing my wardrobe over to clothes that actually feel alive, clothes that have character. One cannot live on jeans and t-shirts alone.
I’d wear it to go to my friend’s birthday tea party! She is turning 21 on the 16th, and what a better way to celebrate than to look like fairy!!!
When would you not wear a tutu??!!
I’d wear it to lectures with as much glitter as I could find. I’d brighten up everyone’s day!!
i would wear the flounce-tastic tutu as a resigned from my horrific supermarket job!!
I would wear it at home, baking cookies and cupcakes for my fiance. It would look cute with an apron!
I’d wear it while flouncing at a concert, or doing a shimmy for my boyfriend, or just wandering downtown.
I need no real reason to wear a tutu! :D
I’d totally wear it for my interview coming up, it would just be amazing because it’s a fashion job so i think it would knock them dead!
How funny that just last night I bought a neon pink tutu from ebay. It is fate!!!
www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
That is the idea of what I could wear it with on valentines day (in case the link doesn’t work, sexy bra/panty set, fishnet thigh-highs and a pair of fab heels). I plan on spending the day inside all day and just have as much sex as I can with my boyfriend. Probably a bit of cleaning as well (reminiscent of your cherry on top post).
www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?i…
This is something I would wear on any occasion (again, in case of link failure, fab boots, black opaque over the knee socks, the awesome tutu, and a really cool top). I would wear this to class, when I am out with friends…any time except playing with a puppy really. I would also pair my outfit with the following link.
www.beatdropscloset.com/PhotoG…
I own 2 pairs of cat ears like these. The one is black with purple feathers (with matching ribbons) and the other is a light teal with powder pink feathers (with the same color ribbons, plus white).
Ohhhhh my goodness. Look at that shopfront!
I would wear this to my birthday party later this month! I’ve been looking for a special pretty outfit and this would be so perfect!
xoxo
I would wear it to the beach!
I would wear it to the first hula hoop lesson I plan to take in my new town (Nelson, NZ). It would definitely give me a confidence boost, and add some theatrics to the day (and match my sparkly beautiful hoop that I adore) :) I would also wear it out after the class for a celebratory cocktail. Hooplah!
OH MY WORD I WANT THIS SO SO BAD.
I would wear it out on secret operations in the city, where we hang flowers from traffic lights and chalk loveletters onto the pavement.
I would wear it to classes when I’m feeling down, bedcause the stares and the winks and the wolf whistles would make me feel up again.
I would wear it out at night teamed up with sparkly heels and big woolly jumpers.
I’d wear it in Paris,
I’d wear it at home.
When I’m out with friends,
or when I’m alone.
I’d whirl like a dervish,
I’d twirl like a top.
I’d pull on my tango shoes
And dance with the mop.
I’ll wear it with wings
And pretend I can fly
The effect so delightful
Even faeries might sigh.
But the first place I’d wear it
Though it might make a scene
On the plane to Costa Rica
Where I’ll be the day after Valentines day.
A Tutu? How marvelous.
Having never owned a tutu, despite having worn quite a few(i was in ballet for 9 years!), i would have way too much fun with it.
I would wear it with my studded leotard and a pair of platform ankle boots, neon tights & an Indian headdress.
I would plan a rendezvous avec ma copain to Graumans Chinese Theatre and press my hands into the cement imprints. Then we would get ice cream and skip around Los Angeles pretending to be a Francesca Lia Block characters. We would end the day with a picnic of Thai takeout beneanth the Hollywood sign.
Ah, sounds dreamy.
I would wear my tutu with absolutely every outfit imaginable, every day of the year, at any destination, regardless of whether or not it would be appropriate. I would wear it on job interviews, at school, at therapy, (despite the negative response that would definitely conjure) and to yoga! I’ll wear it so much people will start to refer to me as “Miss Tutu” or “Miss Toot” (hopefully not). My personal favorite would have to be “The Magnificent Tutu Queen of Enchanting Beauty.” I must be called that, for now I’ve started to grow fond of that name for myself. So you must help me, otherwise people will just call me “Nathalie.” And that’s pretty boring isn’t it?
I’ve never owned a tutu before, but oh my goodness, I am in LOVE!
I would wear it EVERYWHERE!! :D
I would wear it on my 26th birthday, which also happens to be my champagne birthday; a day if ever that definitly calls for a tutu!
To be worn:
-while cleaning my house
-while knitting in my classroom
-while going to see my man play in his band!
I’d have Tutu Tuesday, every single week!
And it’d go a little something like this…
I’d flounce along to my morning meeting and brighten the publishing board’s day. I’d sit like a fallen Jacaranda flower on the lawn for my lunch, and write thank you notes for no reason other than I’m ecstatic about the people in my life. I’d take time in the afternoon to deliver home-baked treats and kindness to everyone in my department. I’d sign off every email with ‘magic really does happen’. I’d make an old man smile on the bus and convince a little girl that fairies really do exist. I’d wear Tutu throughout my weekly lira and trapeze lesson, encouraging my stage character to breathe. I’d wear her with mismatched gumboots on the rainy journey home, just to – you know – stop traffic! And I’d wear her to cook dinner for my lover, with a coordinating apron over the top. I’d finally, at the day’s end, disrobe and wrap her up safely in tissue, ready for next week’s adventure…
I would get on with being a ‘grown up’ on Wednesdays, but Tuesday’s would always be for magic.
I would definitely wear this tutu everwhere! But some specific places: hiking in the woods (but don’t worry, I would be careful not to snag it), vintage shopping, studying at the teahouse, going to the movies with friends, photoshoots in the old decaying barns outside of town, going to my favorite eclectic store to buy cinnamon and nag champa incense. And many other places too, of course.
Here’s a polyvore example- www.polyvore.com/red_velvet/se…
www.polyvore.com/gala_tutu_con…
I would wear this outfit to my Twin sister’s birthday party (and, silly enough, mine too) while we dine on cupcakes and drink enormous amounts of milk before wandering off into the thick of friends for a night of partying it up (or snuggling together under a home-made tent!)
I have a biopsy coming up and would wear the tutu when I go to hear the results because nothing bad can happen to you when you are wearing a tutu.
I would wear this with combat boots, a black corset, and a steel helmet with Mickey Mouse ears, riding off into an apocalyptic battle upon a pink-and-black zebra unicorn, armed with only a plastic light saber and a quiver of rosebuds, up against the forces of sorrow and stale marshmallows.
In other words, everywhere, all the time _.
I’ve been a ballerina for the last ten years, but I’ve never actually owned a tutu! If I had one, I’d get it in a truly ridiculous color and wear it to my next rehearsal. I’d feel like the queen of the world as I’d flounce by world-famous dancers to the wings, and I’d continue to wear it through rehearsal. Then I’d do turns all the way home in my tutu. :D
I’d wear it to sign on for unemployment allowance next month – the dole office is such a depressing place, why not bring some decadence to the place it’s least expected? But that photo makes me want to hang dozens of tutus from the ceiling of my flat – like the backstage dressing-room of some 30’s burlesque troupe..
I’d wear my tutu on a tea party/playing-dress up day. I think it would be perfect with my silver magic wand !
I’d wear that to college! With a feather boa and cat ears!
Everything is so gray there…
I would wear it everywhere, I’m sure, but most specifically to a Valentine’s themed tea party with my closest girls! I would probably pair it with striped tights or knee-high socks, and a nice sturdy pair of boots (it gets pretty rainy here in Scotland). On top I believe I’d wear an oversized cardigan, to add to the cozy factor. Love this idea!
I almost exclusively wear tutu’s. There is literally nothing better than starting your day off in a skirt layered with tulle that makes you look like a ballerina. If I was to count them I’d have at at least 12 of them, all in pink, black and purple (my favourite colours). People used to always make jokes about my tutu obsession and ask me how old I was (I’m 27 by the way) and when my next ballet class was. But now they’re all used to it and are shocked to see me in a non-tutu skirt!
As for where I would wear this particular tutu? Where WOULDN’T I wear it?! I’ve never seen such a spectacular looking tutu before and would wear it just about anywhere I could. It’s clearly very special though so I’d probably save it up for more special occasions than my regular tutu’s (though maybe not) :)
I won’t be able to make it to England for my cousins hens party so while they are in London on the town I would wear it here in Melbourne all day and all night to get in on the action.
SCHOOL ROCK DANCE like YEAH!!!
There’s a Spring Rock Dance in April. All the 4th and 5th grade students with outstanding behavior get to attend. Last year I rocked the dance floor dancing to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. I would love to wear this Pink Tutu and see my students’ faces…and the pricipal’s!
I would wear the tutu at Sweetiepie, the restaurant while enjoying tea cakes. I would like to be seated in birdcage and my date would be my boyfriend. We would take a plane and land in L.A.. We go would go to streets of Hollywood and dance the night away. Also, we would go to Yummy Cupcakes and order the vanilla bean pastel cupcakes and the red velvet cupcakes. We would end the night at the Chateau Marmont.
Would wear to a heavy metal concert and would be most disappointed if I didn’t come back without a momento tear in it :-)
i would wear it EVERYWHERE! to school, on a date, to the mall, even to sleep! i would especially wear it ON valentines, when my friends and i are going to go glow in the dark bowling!
I would definiatly wear it to school, which is really the only place I go. But once people realize it’s me in it, they wouldn’t even turn their heads! I’m quite known for my love of flouncability.
I frequently text all the girls in my phone and dub the next day Princess Day
My girlies and I don our sparkles and dresses and we go to school looking extra fabulous
This would make princess day even more so!
hmmm, i think ever event and situation has been covered already.
i would wear mine on a night out in Galway with my boy, go dancing cos that baby would look good twiling (the tutu, and my boy), then down to the beach with a cheap bottle of wine in a brown paper bag so we could say up and look at the stars.
For such a night grey boots, legings, grey wollen jumper, slouchy hat and snuggling would be all nessecary to keep out the atlantic chills
I would wear it to school so i can prance down the halls with pride :D
I would wear it in my dreams!
And of course I mean that I would wear it every single day where my dreams have become reality and my reality has become a beautiful, tulle filled dream!
(Oh how jealous the other fairies will be of me)
i would wear my glorious tutu in all its glory to go bowling on prom night with my lovely boyfriend and friends, and then traipsing around downtown into the wee hours of the morning wandering through all the fantastic art galleries.
:)
I would wear it when I go to teach my Japanese anthropology recitation next term and confuse all of the hard-ass college students with a flouncy tutu, my combat boots, and comfy sweater! (And jingly bracelets too!). And then pop over to the park afterwards to drink bubble tea and ride the carousel!
www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?i…
I want to wear it to my first day of University in Auckland. Most of my life I haven’t been in control which lead to a lot of issues but now I am so happy that I’ve made it through and will be all on my own, in a huge city (I’ve lived in Paeroa for the last 4 years, L&P anyone? Gala knows what I’m saying!) totally in control and I can really come out of my shell.
I’ve always wanted a tutu, I think they are the epitome of grace and beauty and I’m uninhibited enough to wear it to my first day of uni because that’s the impression I want to make, that I’m someone who enjoys life, puts my own happiness first and I don’t give a shit what people think of me!
P.S. Sorry for swearing Gala, I got caught up in the moment :P
hmmm, i think ever event and situation has been covered already.
i would wear mine on a night out in Galway with my boy, go dancing cos that baby would look good twiling (the tutu, and my boy), then down to the beach with a cheap bottle of wine in a brown paper bag so we could say up and look at the stars.

The vision that immediately popped into my mind was walking three pups through the middle of the city wearing it!
i’d wear it all over the city even to school _
i’d wear my tutu here, there, & just about everywhere. id wear it with a smile that is for sure :)
I would wear the tutu to my best friends birthday celebration. The theme is 80’s, and this will PERFECT!!!!!!!!!! I can work this into my wardrobe on other occasions, its so FAB!!!!!!!!!
I’d wear it walking down the street. In my neighborhood.
On a rainy day walk through my favorite cemetery
I am having a tea party in February so all us ladies can get dressed up in fancy outfits and huge jewelry and white gloves! If I win the pink tutu, everyone will get to try it on and flounce about in it!
I believe I shall wear this to school. Your recent article of working girls (♥) reminds me of someone who told me that my current job is simply to attend school. I believe this will be the perfect uniform for standing out amongst those wearing identical brand-name items. Not only that but I’ve been told that I’m the only girl in school who wears skirts on a regular basis (Quel horreur!) and I consider that the biggest compliment I’ve received in a while so I’d like to uphold this title by wearing obnoxious, flouncy skirts. Also, since I’m single this Valentine’s Day I shall make this skirt my new love. I think a lovely first date shall be at a café sipping keemun (my favorite tea) with some sort of dainty dessert…by a windowside so others can admire my handsome date. Mwah! Squid
I would wear it to work every day with a knee-high pair of New Rocks and my Slayer T shirt corset :) in fact, I might never take it off again!
I would wear this gorgeous tutu to the opening of my photo exhibition coming up this month! After that I’ll wear it to punk rock shows and dinner parties and use it in cute photoshoots… The possibilities are endless.
I’ll wear it while on a sugar high with my best friends, dancing in the rain, singing cheesy 80’s songs and the Moulin Rogue soundtrack at the top of our lungs.
I’ll wear it to uni.
I’ll wear it to school once I’m a maths teacher.
I’ll wear it baking cupcakes with my boyfriend.
I’ll wear it going out for coffee with mum.
I’ll wear it to my wedding.
I’ll wear it in a wannabe-rockstar music video.
I’ll wear it to my 18th birthday party next month.
I’ll wear it to an AC/DC concert.
I’ll wear it to my next job interview.
I’ll wear it while tutoring kids.
I’ll wear it while reading iCiNG ;).
I’ll wear it to bed.
I’ll wear it absolutely everywear and love it so much.
I’ll wear it like this: www.polyvore.com/gala_darling_… and feel like an absolute princess.
I would take my beau to an ice cream parlor with make messes of our faces with marshmallow topping, or climb trees barefoot and share hot chocolate :> Find a gazebo or somesuch in a park with a projector in tow, so as to lay on our backs and watch a movie on the ceiling.
Orrrrr ride swingsets in the middle of the night after taste-testing the best sushi in the city!
There’s so much to do!
I think I sort of deserve a tutu. I mean, I have one…but I sew it by hand, an hour before going out for Halloween, and it’s not very flirty.
But this one ! Oh, this one, Gala ! I think I’m in love ?
I’d wear everywhere. I don’t care if I live in Miami, and it’s odd. I’ll wear it on my skateboard, sliding between the tourists. I’ll wear it to Publix, while old hispanic ladies say random disdainful things about youth. I’ll wear it when going out and staying in. I’ll wear with a giant transparant umbrella, sheer tights, vintage black shirts, kicking heels, Dr Martens, delicate jackets, lace and leather.
I’d wear my tutu to colorguard practice, and flounce around and twirl and spin my flag in it. I’d run out in the street and dance simply because I had a tutu and have wanted one since I was in dance school when I was four! Additionally, wearing it to school would be an absolute necessity- I want to be a fashion designer, and I don’t care what other people say about how I dress. Wearing a tutu isn’t weird, it’s fabulous! I would find a way to put it on for every occasion- except for maybe sleeping, I wouldn’t want to ruin it!
I would wear it to relive my childhood days. Though some say I’m still a baby , I am starting to feel over the hill with my approaching 19th birthday. (I’ve had a fear of growing up since the tender age of 10) I would wear this tutu and imagine I am still that too chubby 3 year old girl , wiggling my “pleasingly plump” behind and stuffing my self with coloured ice cream cones :)
I’m starting a self-promotion website for my upcoming book of poetry (which you, my darling Gala will receive a copy of) and when I lie down in bed at night—my shoulders twitching, full hips aching—I think of the portraits I will pay (and bribe!) artists to take for me, to show to the world…in 1920s sequined slips lying in a bath tub with love letters, cotton candy pink wigs and white Victorian lingerie, tattered blue dresses with sewn-in seashells and mermaid green hair. I can also see myself in this: white stockings and black heels, bare breasts and reading Henry Miller.
Because what is left of an artist after our bodies lose the touch of morning dew? Our work and our pictures.
I would wear this gorgeous garment to Soda Rock in Chapel Street. Every hour on the hour the waiters and waitresses do this fantastic choreographed routine to “Shake a Tail Feather”, and if I were wearing this lovely tutu, I would get up and shake it along with them.
I would wear my tutu with a black latex corset, tiara and cowboy boots and just dance in my apartment wildly celebrating the joys of tutus, music, and being so utterly happy.
Well, I absolutely love pink, girly things, and I’ve never had a tutu before, so I would love to have this one! I think I would wear my tutu to a playground in the summertime. There’s just something about getting all dolled up and playing on a playground that sounds so inviting!
I’m getting married this June, in a completely non-traditional ceremony, complete with non-traditional attire. I already have a dress to the knee with lace and ribbon and detail that may as well be a tutu skirt :p but this would really set it all off!
two words!

I would love to wear it everywhere! I love dressing like a frilly sort of fairy, and a tutu would fit in perfectly. I’ve always wanted one, just can’t seem to find one where I live.
I’d wear it while frolicking in a field of long grass as butterflies lazily swam in the air around me and birds sang on a spring day.
No seriously, I would.
I would proudly wear this tutu with a pair of black, studded leather pumps and a matching leather studded corset for a deliciously morbid blend. After smearing on eye makeup as a remix of Garbage and Lady Gaga blasts, I’d retreat to the pier downtown. There, I swig ginger ale out of a paper bag and eventually prance along the booming city streets with my lover and engage in ferocious debates in a Thai food restaurant. Once our hunger is satisfied, we’ll march into a local karaoke bar and jam to our heart’s content. As the sun peeks over the horizon, we’ll tawdle gaily along the city streets, again, until we find our way home.
I love my life, and this tutu!
Ohhh I love it!
I don’t dress very adventurously, so I’d either wear it to Edinburgh Film Festival when I cover it in the summer, or to the theatre!
I’d wear it gardening. I usually garden in a skirt.
I’d be wearing it on Intergalactic Tutu Day of course…mostly like this year or the next and to work at the Biker (as in motorcycle) coffee shop, because I can.
Keep up the good work!!
I would wear it to school during finals. If I look good I’ll be less nervous.
I just got a mental image of myself wearing that to a picnic. On the moon. The lower gravity pull would just make the tutu flow in the most awesome manner, not to mention the pink would look amazing against all that moon rock! hehehehe
i would wear this as i wear all ridiculous fashion statements – everywhere! with sparkly tights, a leather jacket and a bunny eared hat for snowy shopping strolls… out for late dinners at the asian diner with warm noodle bowls and the scent of basil on my hands, paired with killer heels and a single feather eyelash… to poetry readings, peaking out from beneath a black dress, my eyes lined in a cat-eye smirk, shoulders draped in pearls… mmmm…
I’d wear it to dimsumm for brunch (Chinese New Year’s falls on Valentine’s Day this year!) with friends, and then wander around Chinatown and take lots of silly pictures. In the afternoon, I’d attend a show at Fashion Week (I /wish/ I could get an invite to DVF!!!) and then out for cupcakes at Crumbs afterwards!
I’ve been wanting a tutu for so long!
This is how I’d wear it…
www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
love you gala!
I would wear it to the casino!!! cha ching!!!!!!!!!!
It would help my luck tremendously :)
So, my friends and I found this huge cardboard box. It used to hold a tuba. Some people in the music department at my university were going to throw it out when we spotted it, and they figured what the heck these crazy kids want a giant cardboard box they can take it.
So every night for the past couple nights, we have brought the jumbo box down to the lounge in the basement of my dorm building, were we stay up until ridiculous hours and write all kinds of funny stuff in sharpie on the box (while doing other things too. Occasionally homework. Maybe.)
I’d wear the tutu while sitting in a cardboard box twice my size, with a friend or two, and hopefully (if there is still space left on the bottom) i’d totally make an outline of it and write about tutus and flounce inside the outline. Buttprint!
We usually take pictures xD I can see some interesting ones coming out of this…
I’m planning on going to England for the first time ever (!) in March, and I’m thinking this tutu would just be ALL I TAKE. And I’d wear it everywhere, with crazy white graphic tees and fat waffly black sweaters and piles of vintage jewelry and cowboy boots and bright blue tights. After that, I might try it under dresses and long cardigans to make it more work-appropriate.
I would wear it to my Alice in Wonderland party I’m throwing on Valentines eve. How perfect! Cocktails in teacups, anyone?
everywhere, of course!!
cooking dinner, store, friends, parties, just walking around town. . .
I looooove tutus!!
I would wear it to an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party picnic. There would be little cut avocado sandwiches, fairy bread, cupcakes and shortbread! Lots of pizazz and glitter hairspray… and we’d take lots of crazy pictures. Yay! Oh and afterward we’d go and watch Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (assuming it would be out by then!)
I bought an ivory tulle skirt from Sportsgirl the other week, but it’s no where near as MAGNIFICENT as that tutu. I want it muchly!
Hope I win x
Aside from everywhere, I would wear it to my best friends birthday party (as well as my dog’s!)
I’d wear it while staying in a hotel. I’d jump on the bed and eat strawberries ordered from room service.
gah! i would wear this to the pukekura park and go on the row boats with friends :O so so cute
I’d wear it while playing with my boyfriend. Or when I go student-teaching :3. It’d be a fantastic way of making dressing up more fun. Or even flouncing around my college’s cistern.
I would wear it when I saw my brother again for the first time in a year. The look on his face would be priceless.
“Tulleing with The Raven.”
Once upon a dateless dreary, that I dolled up chic and cheery,
Over many a grey and wearisome outfit of dull cotton, “snore,”
That I condemned, clearly clapping, swiftly there came a tapping,
A postman gently rapping, rapping at my cupboard door?
‘Tis my sweetie pie!” I cheered, “tapping at my cupboard door –
Only this, or something more?
How distinctly I remember my sweet indie geek, Max Ember,
And each sweet nothing insincerely wrought it’s ghost upon my door.
Meagerly I wanted to dazzle; – plainly I thought to razzle
In my plain white lace bolero – bolero Max saw to ignore – I’m the plain and dull wallflower whom the angels saw to ignore
Flirting with no one for evermore.
What if white lace replaced by rustling of some sweet pink tulle
Willed me – thrilled me with wonderful terrors never felt before;
So once more, to race the beating of Max’s heart, I stood repeating
‘Tis my sweetie pie gifting gifts gladly at my cupboard door
Some late postman gifting gifts gladly at my cupboard door
Is that it, and nothing more?
Presently my heart grew stronger; hesitating a little longer,
`Max,’ thought I, `or postman, truly your sweet kind heart I implore;
But the truth is I was thinking of pink tulle when you came drifting,
I was hoping you came gifting, drifting by my cupboard door,
That I was too sure I heard you’ – that I opened wide the door; – A pink box there, and nothing more.
And this box, swiftly opened, revealed a tutu, revealed a tutu
Beautiful as Aphrodite, just within my cupboard door;
And Max’s eyes have since been widened like a demon that is lusting
And this once plain wallflower is to be ignored little more
And my soul is lightened by pink tulle ignored little more
I’ll be flirting with boys – forevermore!
I would wear this tutu and have my dream day in it. Wake up early and see it hanging ready on my door. I would transform and only feel joy when I put it on. A big breakfast in a sunny kitchen. Later on a walk on the park twirling around jumping and drawing on walls. I would go to the train station and hitch a ride to the next station. I would take a drawing pad and caricature people on the streets. I would be wearing my round sun shades and singing my heart out. Id take a bus back home but on the way stop by a bar and play some tunes with the band. Id stop once again in the nearby park and surrender on the grass for a few hours while looking up at the stars. A friend would appear and take me to a cemetery where we would look for our names on tombstones and run out screaming and our hearts racing from fear. Id run all the way home and crash on my bed, I would sleep with it still on and dream about my great adventure. The next morning I would plan another great tutu adventure day.
I would wear it to the movie premiere of Alice in Wonderland.
Ahh! I tried to win this last year and when I didnt, I made my own!

I would wear this new one to secret clubs in hidden alleys where it would catch boys eyes just as I traipse around a corner so that all they are left with is a memory of pink ruffles and the sparkle that caught their eye. Those that managed to look past the pink froth that was my outfit, that managed to meet my eye through the dark night air, those would be the ones whos attentions I would play with. Until in the morning their last sight of me would be, just like all the others, of my ruffled tush, the layers bouncing and sashaying as my heels clicked me towards home in the early morning light.
I would wear it to Africa for a summer international program I’m in. In addition to providing health education, we’ll have a little time for sightseeing and attractions. I’m considering bungee jumping. Tutu + bungee jumping = epic!
Sexy Tutu:
Be Mine this Valentines day
sitting seductively on my hips
i’ll take you everywhere
on dates with myself…
on a trampoline, in the sun
with a melting toffee apple.
on the beach reading Lolita, wearing sunscreen
tree climbing, hula hooping in the park
& in WINTER I will wear you
on a Volcano, teamed with ski’s & stockings
for the Ripcurl/K2 Bikini Breast Cancer fundraiser
and we will surely win…
or at least rock everyone’s socks off.
Last night my boyfriend told me he hates me after we got into an argument about doing something on Valentines. Not just hates, he said, but LITERALLY hates me, and he hates me now, he’ll hate me tomorrow, etc. He also hates it when I dress REMOTELY different to what’s on sale at Supre (eg, he refuses to be seen with me if I’m wearing my $40 bowler hat that I was so excited about finding, but thinks his friends jean-leggings are “cool”). So you know what? FUCK IT. I would wear that tutu whenever I see him, just to piss him off. I’m tired of having to conform to his damn expectations, like, for example, forgiving him immediately for forgetting my birthday last week, never wearing my bowler hat anymore, and just accepting that even though I finally have someone to spend Valentines Day with, I shouldn’t expect it to be any different to any other day.
I would wear it to a Cavs game!
I would wear it everywhere so that I can dance through life… in a pretty tutu!
Miss Gala Darling! I would wear this fabulous fluff of fancy whenever I feel blue. I’d pair it with a pair of silvery glitter heels & sparkly pink lipstick & have everyone address me as Marie Antoinette. I would twirl through the aisles of the Trader Joe’s & flit back home through the clouds to make some vegan strawberry-chocolate-chip cupcakes with magenta heart sprinkles on the inside, & hand them out while singing songs to everyone who I pass by on my way to ballet class. Et mais oui, I would wear it during my rehearsals, too! What better way to stand out from all of the other dancers but to be decorated with such a decadent tutu of deliciousness?
Oh, hun, Where wouldn’t I wear a tutu?
I would wear it to my grandfather’s birthday party— it’s on Valentine’s Day & we’re celebrating by going to the casinos. Whoo!
If I was to don this I would wear it simply with my half chaps and riding boots (tights underneath)and gallop around on my lovely black steed. It’d definatly cause a scene at the stable, but pink and black just go too lovely together to not do it!
Maybe some of its magic would rub off and turn my horse into a unicorn =) ?
I’ve been a ballet dancer for 7 years with 5 shows and not ONCE have I gotten a tutu! I would wear this whenever dancing, whether it be at practice or alone in my room. These tutus are so amazing and beautifully made that it would be an honor to receive one.
I would wear it to my nannying job – it’d make it easier to play dress-up – or under my lab coat when I’m at school!
I would wear it in a music video with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I’d wear it on my glorious return from the States to Australia. And then for the welcome home party as well.
I’d wear it with my space-age David Bowie silver boots and a boys black zip up hoodie… then I’d make some bright pink cotton candy, go up on my friend’s roof and twirl around until I fell down
(that tutu is absolutely beautiful!!)
I would wear this when I needed to feel like a princess. I love to dress up in fancy clothes and go do something I love when I’m feeling stressed and wearing something as big and as pink as this would definitely do the trick. It’s large and fanciful and looking at the picture makes me think of running around parks in spring or having a picnic and enjoying the big poof surrounding me when I sat down in it.
I will wear this tutu for my Late Love 22nd Birthday Party on February 22nd in Grand Central Station, sponsored by my unicorn friend Aura Starlight Oleander. I’ll be entering on a floating swanboat with my cavalier by my side. Our entrance is the cue for the crowd to eat cake and make a wish; my cavalier and I will enter the middle and dance, where the tutu will spin me around so fast I explode into fairydust which showers over everyone and grants all their wishes. Unfortunately there will be at least one casuality — my cavalier, whose name is Bruno by the way, was so close to the tutu-twirling that he disintegrated too, into gunpowder. And you know what happens when gunpowder and fairydust mix… The tutu will be very sorry.
I would rock that tutu at a tea party involving cotton candy and cupcakes, while ice skating, when I go see the new Alice in Wonderland movie, visiting art galleries and at absolutely every occasion where I might get the opportunity to twirl (I find surprisingly many…)
nikita, i think you what you really need is a new boyfriend! (you could wear him with your bowler hat?)
With that tutu? In my possession?!? Oh goodness gracious. Obviously I’d take myself out for a gorgeous Valentines Day date (with myself)!!!
Me, myself & I would start with a visit to the Walker Center in Minneapolis, stopping to pose for photos beneath the crystal chandeliers. Then I’d slink into a booth at The Red Dragon and imbibe a sloshy multi-colored drink with a stack of maraschino cherries and an umbrella. After that, dancing at the Kitty Kat Klub, followed by midnight pancakes at Mickey’s Diner!
I’d probably crawl into bed and fall asleep in that tutu, too. And I’d dream of ballerinas and moonbows. The End.
This skirt would be the perfect addition as I started ballet class last week. If my friends aren’t impressed with my wacky hand-eye coordination, they can envy the wardrobe. My new found friend would accompany me to my college coarses, the movies, the offbeat parties, the ice skating rink, scavenger hunts, & any other activity that would benefit from frilly spontaneity!
I would wear it to school! I would wear it to go shopping! I would wear it to a teaparty! I think wherever I choose to go while wearing a fluffy and heavenly tutu, I would feel happier and more energetic. I’d take elegant steps and leave trails of magic and awe everywhere!
I’d wear it with my purple docs and a white blouse to try and catch the attention of the man of my dreams :)
i’d wear it on some dreary winter day. one of those days where everybody is in a down-turned mood, you know? and i’d make sure it’d be a day where i have both school and shopping to do. nothing better than prancing around the grocery store in something that looks like that!

I’d wear this outfit on my birthday! Feb. 12th! I’d wake up around 9 and put this outfit on. Then I’d go with my boyfriend, my dogs and his dogs to a dog park and run around for a few hours. Then we’d make chocolate and feed it to eachother. Then we’d get in bed and cuddle and maybe take a nap. After a short nap, we’d go to a mall and shop. He’d pay for everything. Around 6, we’d go to a sushi resturant, and eat all the fish. Then we’d go clubbing. I would be the only one in a pink tutu, and we’d dance and drink. I will be 21 afterall! Then we’d come back with huge headaches and go to sleep.

I’d love to wear it this week to my big interview, with my cat shoes and kelly green tights and the mustard yellow Rodarte for Target cardigan!
But otherwise, I’d totally rock it on a daily basis with anything from baggy cargoes underneath with a neutral lace slip underneath to a knit one-piece over it with bright eyeliner! It’d look amazing dressed up with patent leather exford heels or down with lace-up rain boots. Basically, it would have a very special place in my closet and heart!
I would wear it out in this cold cold winter we are having where I am, with my thick purple tights so I don’t get too cold and my boots and then I would go up the mountain, since tutus are good for that, and I would spin around and around at the top like I own the world. Because I own my world.
When I finish my schooling in 7 weeks, I will wear it to my graduation, then to the opening of my new business, and then to a picnic with my sweetheart at Lake Biffalo up in the beautiful Aussie Alps – I might blend in with the pretty little alpine flowers!
Wow, that is gorgeous! Id wear it everywhere, with a pair of fairy wings, and I’d stick little butterfly pins all over myself. I’d where it with a lacy black shawl and strappy black boots.
Everytime I’d wear it I’d bake chocolate cupcakes with rose flavored frosting and silver glitter and deliver them to all my friends and aquaintances. I’d take a picture of me dressed up in my tutu and make little greeting cards to use on each occassion that’d say “Your fairy godmother was here!” to leave with the cupcakes on peoples doorsteps.
I would wear it with combat boots atop the Great Wall of China during winter and dance like an zombie.
Why, lion-taming, of course!
I would flounce about and teach the lions to sip chai.
Afterward I would have to watch zombie flicks and split a jar of maraschino cherries with my lover.
sentimentally:
i turn eighteen today.
this week is national eating disorders week.
in celebration, my support home is offering a workshop:
comtacting your inner princess to all who are able.
it falls so very nicely into the little frame
that i am trying to make for myself to live inside.
funny
how i am a year older, but more nostalgic than ever.
i would wear that pretty thing.
straight to group.
sit a little anxiously in my chair,
tell myself that this is who i am.
i AM a p.r.i.n.c.e.s.s.
i mean,
you only have to look at my pretty skirt,
and me behind it
to know the truth.
...
sentimentally: i turn eighteen today.
i can now scratch lottery tickets whilst watching porn that i bought and voting
legally
simultaneously.
hopefully
if none of this makes me feel any better
anyhow.
I’d wear it while baking heart-shaped goodies for my friends. Then I’d prance around with a drink in hand, playing card games, singing songs about princesses, and laughing until my cheeks hurt.
I’d wear it to school
Where wouldn’t I wear it?! To the movies looking super glam, around the house to brighten up an otherwise drab day, for my 18th birthday in three weeks!!! It’s simply perfect princess attire! =)
I would also wear it at home, doing my homework. Homework needs to be a little more glamourous and fun. I’d wear it with a black shirt, bright purple cardi, bright purple heels, and a cool layered necklace.

I’ll wear it during the canon-firing re-enactment in the fort in St. Augustine, and flounce my way down the steps as I leave.
I would wear it on sad, depressing days. Then I would jump around the room while singing and dancing to the Spice Girls (yeah, that’s right) and laughing like a hyperactive toddler.
Sad day over!
I’d wear it out for cocktails!
How can I see a gorgeous tutu and not think Carrie? I would definitely wear it to see Sex and the City 2, ideally I would be able to wear it to the On Location tour/screening in NYC, that way I could wear it out. But even if I don’t make it there I would just wear it to a regular theater here. The first movie came out on my birthday and was a great excuse to dress like a lady & this 1 comes out two days before, which is also awesome. bit.ly/dgM9kE (P.S. I’m the blonde).
True story: Last night, at theater rehersal, the tutu I was wearing was lit on fire. I spent the morning thinking about how best to fix it- a patch in a contrasting color of tule? a strange lopsided hole? a fabulous excuse to acquire a new tutu?
I would wear this rocktacularity with flats, kneehighs, and a dinosaur tshirt to my science museum job. And the library. And hanging out at the local coffee shop. I dare you to ignore me now, cute barista boy!
I would wear it on a fabulous date :)
I would wear it out to a party or to a daily activity, like shopping. I’d pair it with some bright pink tights and yellow platform shoes. My top would be something simple, like a cute Harajuku Lovers t-shirt. And my accessories would vary depending on how I feel, but you can bet they’d be bright and colorful!
I’d wear it to the gyno. No joke. If I have to feel awkward, my doctor ought to feel a little weirded out too. It’s only fair after all. Then I’d wear it pretty much everywhere else I possibly could.
I would wear it with anything I could. Warm weather, cold weather, indoors, outdoors. Supermarket, college, whatever! I’d think of Halloween costumes to make based on it, even.
I’d wear it while going to a children’s hospital in hope of making some children smile. or I would wear it when I’m sad, because I find tutus adorable and wearing one would make me feel all kinds of awesome :P
oh my goodness, I am sure I would wear it EVERYWHERE! To class on presentation days, to work with my company t-shirt, to frolic around the woods and have picnics with my best friends, to every first date for the rest of time!
Loving the radical self-love theme, Gala!
I’d wear it to bookstores and coffee shops, with a fabulous black blazer and a harmonica necklace. I’d read newspapers and think about trips I want to go on, wearing that tutu.
I would wear it at home while i read books in my tent that I made out of blankets and fairylights. I would wear it while I had a chat on Skype with my friends who live far away. I would wear it to my exams. And any time i could. I would try to wear it with everything, and everywhere!
This year all of my single friends and I are going out to sushi for Valentine’s Day to celebrate having each other – and also to prove that you don’t need a significant other in your life to have a grand time. I want to wear something that makes me feel gorgeous, sexy, striking, amazing and I think that this tutu would be just the thing!
I’d wear it to my Mardi Gras gig! Every Afropop band needs a bassist in a tutu, n’cest pas?
I would wear this to church. Huzzah!
I’m going with my friends for ice-cream on Valentine’s Day. I’ll wear it there and twirl around a lot. It might be cold so I’ll wear leggings. I’ll make a big deal about it.
everywhere!
I’d wear it to class & hand out heart shaped lollipops. Spreading the love & sugar!
This is quite a coincidence because I’ve been longing for a good tutu.
I’m making a dance for my student dance company at university. It is an inner-child romp of fun that will be set in half-darkness with flashlights. I’m hoping that a remote control car with a large siren light fixed to the top will be making an appearance. The music is “Magic Dance”, a David Bowie song from the Jim Henson movie Labyrinth. (see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UoG). At the end, we are going to pull the entire audience on stage and into the aisles for an enormous dance party! And the key element of our costumes: a rainbow of tutus and can-cans. SO! In short, I would wear this tutu to the Graffiti Dancers show!
I’d wear it when i feel like being a fairy, which is around 30% of the time. I’d eat tiny desserts, braid my hair, and do everything that fairies do!
I imagine it is the kind of thing I would were while baking cupcakes… but that’s not my official answer!
Here it is: To The Moon. First, I would put it on early in the morning – the sun is still low in the sky and people in suits are running for trains – when I decide to go out to get myself a chocolate croissant. On my way to the shop, I notice something odd. Everyone in the street is stopping & starring at me! At first, I find this very embarassing, but then I realise they are all quietly saying, as I pass them, ‘Wow’ as they see my tutu up close.
The street is quite busy, so many, many people are saying ‘wow’ just quietly – but then all these little ‘wow’s, all these little exhales directed in my direction begin to do something incredible.
At first, I think it is the wind blowing up my fabulous tutu – so I blush and push it down. But it doesn’t help a bit. All the little ‘wow’s I keep hearing seem to gather into a wind, mingling everyone’s breath, and heading up my tutu!
Then – then – you will never believe this – that strange wind begins to lift me up! I feel lighter & lighter until my feet are barely touching the ground and then neither are my tippy-toes and then everything begins to look rather small…
And as I go higher, more people see me. They also are in awe of my tutu and say ‘wow’. In fact, so many people do this until I go so far up I bump my head on the moon! Ouch!
omg that is beautiful!
I’d probably wear it to work most often (I’m a barista), and dance around it in. Then I’d probably wear it to the park in the summertime a lot and sit in trees reading books while wearing it. It would be so fantastic!
Well, I just moved to Macau, which is outside of Hong Kong, and I work for Cirque du Soleil as a technician. The artists always get to wear the fantastic costumes, so I would wear this to work to show them that we can look fab too. Plus Macau is grey grey grey and this woud surely brighten up many a person’s day.
I would wear it to Uni, and pretend i don’t notice everyone looking at me as i walk in. Also i would wear it work, in the pizza kitchen
while i don’t need a special reason to wear such a beautiful tutu (really, I’m quite shameless) Valentine’s day would be the perfect day to wear this as it is the first Valentine’s ever that I’ve celebrated in the traditional sense. I am very much in love with myself, but this is the first year that someone else is too. I am the type that would wear this everyday (seriously), but it would be extra special whether dancing on the subway platform or having a winter picnic in central park, I love love love this tu-tu.
i would wear it everywhere!!! i would never take it off!!!
I would wear it while doing an interpretive dance to express how amazing life is and how grateful I am for my amazing friends! <3 :]
That tutu looks amazing! I would wear it out to a club & add that piece with rocker accessories & dance the night away.
I would wear a tutu EVERYWHERE.
But the first place that comes to mind is to the zoo!
I would wear it in the woods as I pounce around dreaming of faeries and unicorns. Afterward I would go back to my mini castle aka my apartment to bake myself cupcakes and cookies and bask in the sweets as i watch the movies that excite me the most. Who could love them self in a beautiful tutu such as this one. I would feel fantastic! On top of the world.
I’d probably wear it to my friends alice in wonderland themed party maybe with bunny hairs so i could be the mad hatter !!!
I call this bad boy TUTU HAIKU:
To have a tutu
to wear during rehearsals;
A pleasure indeed.
-Shelby.
I’d love to wear this tutu during rehearsal. Just because I am perceived as a serious director does not mean I need to wear black slouchy “serious” outfits. Compromise style to be taken seriously? Never.
A tutu like that deserves to be worn while tucking into strawberry ice-cream while rollerskating around the rings of Saturn!
I would wear my tutu stuffed beneath my starched and ironed culinary uniform to class. As I dine on hand crafted croissants and fruit-filled danishes, I would smile to myself. After class, I would rush upstairs to my love as his soup class poured out of the kitchen, ready for the weekend.
I would tear off my uniform in the elevator, my U2 t-shirt and zippered leggings having been stuffed hastily into a locker before class, now at their shining moment. I would kiss his cheek as he threw on some flannel and we rushed out the dormitory doors.
All tonight needs is the hum of folksy banjo music and two tickets to the dollar movie theater. And lots of nachos, hold the peppers…
Tales of The Tutu.
Smile & tell the lovely strangers
that their compliments are
appreciated; then run off
to meet my cute-as-this-tulle
boy.
Concocting magic love-potion
to share, drinking from a mug
decorated by sequins in
a very glam-princess manner.
Making up stories
about the fabulous lives
of the Gala-esque girls
who eyed my tutu from
the sparkling window of
the cupcake parlour.
Take the train to the
prettiest park, bringing
our camera; impromptu
photo session featuring
the kind old couple
who likes to feed the birds
& enjoys the company of
The silly young people
that we love to be.
I would write lots of papers and read lots of books while alternately brewing tea and coffee and leaping around my kitchen trying to concoct a lovely ballet to enya. :D
I would wear it to my most serious science lecture class, sit right in the middle of the front row, and take notes in turquoise ink!
I would wake in the morning, knowing there was only one thing to wear. Across the tops of my check bones a smear of glitter would be visible. Running late out the door, keys fumbling in hands, school books hastily shoved into my bag, notes hanging between my lips, and a flask of hot jasmine tea secured not so safely between my arm, I would be wearing my bright, happy tutu skirt. I would walk down the street, battling with the wind as it lifts up my skirt and feeling quite the Monroe, while sipping my tea and thinking about how to save the world and also cram in everything I want to do on the weekend. I would dance the whole day away. Twirling, jumping, and swaying, for that I what you feel compelled to do if you are wearing a gorgeous tutu!
I’d wear it to school and make all the boys jealous; and the girls too! Flouncing into class would make everything about it more joyful :)
I would certainly have to make this tutu work with every possible outfit, what else would I wear?! I would dance barefoot every single day for the rest of my life.
I love tutus! I used to dance ballet when I was younger. If I win, I would wear this both at home and outside. I would wear it everywhere and I would try to capture the look on people faces with a camera ( :
Ah, I can already see myself wearing that gorgeous tutu while enjoying a cool spring day with my dog in our yard. Blowing bubbles, snacking on blueberries (both me and the dog—he loves them, you know), loving the sound of the breeze through the trees and the way that it makes the ruffly, pink cloud around my waist even more floaty and ephemeral. I’m sighing contentedly just thinking about it!
Well OBVIOUSLY I would wear it to work. Can’t you just see me trotting up the road with my ballet shoes hanging from my bag and my hair in a bun, all frou-frou in a tutu and a racerback singlet? (A singlet that inevitably says something like ‘Bon Jovi’ or ‘Westside Forever’, because this ballet teacher is also part bogan.)
The tutu would of course be worn on Valentine’s day and would make an apperance at my Hen’s Night! What bride to be wouldn’t squeal with delight at the opportunity to flounce about in it on her last night of singledom.
I would also wear the amazing tutu to my wedding rehearsal and then on to the rehearsal dinner. Where pink fairy floss will be eaten by everyone!
I’d wear it in Bangkok, where everyone gets away with absolutely everything – yet I have not yet spotted a tutu. I would sneak up to a helicopter pad and have a photoshoot.
To my 21st birthday celebration!! Truly a tutu fit for a night when I want to transform into a big, beautiful, baby-pink princess.
I have spent months looking for a good tutu in all the charity shops! Can’t find them anywhere!
If I was the very proud owner of that gorgeous skirt, I would wear it to my weekly ritual of riding my older sister’s old bike down to the abandoned railway signal tower, which I climb to the very top of to sit and speak to my late brother. I imagine he’d smile at seeing his sister, now in the first flushes of fully-fledged womanhood, donned in the attire of the little girl he knew when he died, who would wear her fairy dresses for days on end, even when they were covered with oil grease after helping daddy to fix his lawnmower.
the airport, the airport,
when i fly to new york
in the spring. to finally
meet the person i call home.
it would remind me to lighten up.
because we made it happen.
I would wear the tutu to a fabulous picnic in the park with pink lemonade and then to the theatre. Also to Luna park for a day of galivanting on rides and eating hot dogs.
Because a tutu’s joy needs to be spread!
In the morning I would bring it to share with my bellydance class for a session. It is full of fabulous ladies older than I am and by far better dancers, and I think they are graceful and wonderful and all deserve a handmade tutu.
In the evening I would then drag my friends out to one of the LA beaches and let them try it on. When it was my turn, I’d wade out into the chilly Pacific and splash around, (because how often in life do you get the chance to play in the ocean with a very fancy tutu on?) before coming in to dry off by a driftwood bonfire.
I would wear it to go and see the new Alice In Wonderland movie!!!!! And I would have my own tea party in a park somewhere and wear it with a top hat! I think I would love this tutu so much that I would also wear it around the house, just for myself, and to work – I work in childcare and the kids would appreciate it more than anyone!!
Are you kidding? I’m wearing that baby to a tweetup, then holing up in the bathroom while all the girls take turns squeeing CAN I TRY IT ON?
CAN I PLEASE?
and then practically raping me of my clothing before I have a change to say “okaaaaaay =(”
Trufaxx.
I’m moving from Australia to England 2 days after Valentines. So although not to practical i would rock this tutu the minute i touched down in London town. Shouting from the sidewalks that ‘I have ARRIVED!’ and aint nothing gonna stop me and my tutu from owning the whole place!
well i have many ideas..
i would wear it to my interveiw at the arts school i want to get into
to my sons first day at school (although that may embarass him.. it would make me feel magical)
and when i go to my grandmothers because she loves tutus.
oh it would be magical.
i would also wear it with my leather (fake) jacket i bought in melbourne last year. suspender stockings and my faboulous hot pick booties.
I’d wear it to my favourite bar… Karumba! It’s in Iceland, but I think that amazing tutu would be a good enough excuse to go for another visit…
I know EXACTLY where I’d wear it. I’d wear it to hoop dance in! I’m always on the look out for awesome new costumes, and this looks like it would be fantastic fun to dance in. (See my dancing at my YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/user/chewbobin…)
More than that, though, I’ve had an idea floating around in my head for several months now. In an attempt to break out of my normal patterns and force myself to get dressed for myself, for fun, and not for everyone else around me, I’ve considered dictating for myself a Tutu Week, where I wear a tutu EVERYWHERE I GO for one week. I haven’t had a tutu to do this with, yet, however. If I won this tutu, I promise I would go through with Tutu Week, and document it as well!
i’d definately wear it out on v-day, for one. i’m actually loved-up this year which is a drastic change from the norm, and the lady does enjoy wearing suits and fancy ties so i’d think we’d make a pretty good looking couple.
although we’re not the most epically romantic people, so our fancy clothes would be donned, probably, for a trip to the grocery store for ingrediants to make our own pizzas, and then the bottlo for something cheap and bubbly, consumed in my lady’s room, listening to bad pop music.
still, i think the local woolworths needs a bit of glamour now and then!
On a Valentines picnic date, with frilly knickers to make my lover giggle during our handstand competition!
=D
I lovee it. I would wear it for the professional photos I’m going to get in celebration of loving myself this Valentines day. Especially because Valentines is my birthday!
mmmm lovely!! i would wear it on valentines day with a warm coat, wool stockings and flat boots and take my boyfriend outside the city to watch the northern lights while drinking hot chocolate from an old thermo
I’d wear it to cheer up my blue days, I’m sure it has brightening powers!! Here is my example set on Polyvore: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15… !!!
This would get worn every time I feel like confirming that life is a fantastic and fun experience!
woah..u know what? never participated to one of this contests but ..
I WANT THE TUTU! im in Rome, so im quite sure i’ll wear it to go & watch sunset up on Spanish Steps .. with this coat [http://picmedaily.tumblr.com/post/366921164] on top & a pink wool hat .. with the love of my life!
and after the sun goes down, i’ll do twirls with my puffy tutu in the lights of Rome!
I think I’m in love.
So I would wear it to my boyfriend’s house, to tell him that I’m afraid he is not the love of my life anymore.
Don’t worry, 2nd place isn’t anything to sneeze at!
I would wear it to, innocently
spike the punch with LSD
With an attire, who would notice
In my hand, the drops of malice!
Okay, wow. I am in love. I’ve been looking for a tutu for a while now and this one is exquisite.
I’ve always been the kind of girl who rocks statement pieces. My style is generally pretty clean-cut, but I like to punch people in the gut with little bursts of personality.
I could go for an edgier look and pair it with a white v-neck over a black bra, chunky bracelets, sexy boots, and a ton of eyeliner.
Or I could go for something a little more… wild sexy librarian, and pair it with a fitted blazer, simple black heels, and opt for glasses over contacts.
The great thing about pieces like this are the endless possibilities. I know that the minute I push “submit” I’ll think of fifty more ways to style it. That’s how a wardrobe should always be… fun and inspiring!
When you see a woman walking down the street in a giant pink tutu, you know she’s not afraid of anything. I’d wear this tutu to kick ass and take names, dominating the world with my bad-assery and feminine charms.
For reals, I would wear this to an event at my University called “Wine Night”. I’ve never been before and basically I’m crashing it. It’s a formal event for uppity elite Grad students (I’m just an Undergraduate). I plan on drinking their copious amounts of wine, dancing the night away, and mingling with people I’m technically not allowed to mingle with! All in this beautiful tutu :)
ok so that is the most amazing thing I have ever seen…
I would wear it RIGHT NOW to go to the fridge and get some grapes :D
In a bid to become more graceful, I’ve started ballet lessons again; the last time I did ballet was when I was eight but quit a year later because my dad got sick and money was short.
Grown-up ballet classes are kind of boring style-wise though. There are no pink satin leotards, ribbons in the hair, or dainty dance shoes – you might see some grey legwarmers if you’re lucky.
If I won this tutu, I would wear this to ballet class and be totally fabulous.
Gala my love!
I would wear it to SPCA animal refuge and rescue a mixture of ten kittens, cats, puppies and dogs (I cant leave the older animals out they are just as precious), after this we will all be off to Piha Beach in West Auckland and we will all frolick along the beach celebrating their freedom and our new family! We will then all have a dance off – I will do all sorts of twirls, skips, crumps and jigs, so will the animals of course. But the smallest kitten obviously wins this as she knows how to leap in the air and do a flip – WOW. Then we will all be so exhausted we all collapse in the sand, all animals snuggled and resting on this fabulous piece of art – the tutu. How much fun would this be. Do join us! xxxx
I would wear it this weekend because I am flying to Melbourne to see my boy. He loves things like this and I can imagine waltzing down Collins St. in this little get-up and posing out the front of all the designer boutiques.
And on the plane. Nothing says comfortable travel-wear like dance clothes!
I would wear it to see a show at the Takarazuka Grand Theater in Japan on Valentine’s Day. A show like that (glittery, glitzy and performed entirely by gorgeous and extremely talented women) deserves a tutu. I’ve been looking forward to seeing a Takarazuka production since my first college friend introduce me to it, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than in an awesome outfit?
I’d wear it to the flower farm I work at. It would be so much fun to wear it while creating gorgeous valentines bouquets and boxes! x
I would wear that beautiful thing to my birthday. It looks like frosting.. but frosting that is partly blended with air, so it floats. AN AERO-CUPCAKE. I won’t need to blow out candles on a multiple layered strawberry pink dessert ‘cause I’ll be wearing it. Kinda like the old school idea of the stripper bursting out of a cake.. but slightly classier and more DIY.
This tutu I’d wear
to go busking with my harp
glitter and kisses
(haiku love!)
I’d wear it with big shoes and a black halter-neck. In between songs I’d throw glitter at people and blow kisses!
I’d wear it on Valentine’s Day! I’d wear it outside of a little black dress and wear a pearl necklace. I’d feel really cute and eat creampuffs & cupcakes all day long! I’d dance with my boyfriend and twirl about all around him.
I’d wear it whilst attempting to make marshmallows and dancing barefoot round my tiny kitchen to flashdance what a feeling :D When my lovely boy got home he’d find a very messy, happy valentine!
I would wear it, every single chance I got.
A Picnic, to the movies, jumping on the trampoline, visiting the second hand bookshop, to my graduation/formal…
In march I am taking a plane to Sydney to see.. IMOGEN HEAP! Nothing would be more perfect than wearing this gorgeous number to see Immi! I would pair it with bright red lipstick and a gorgeous peter pan collared blouse.
That tutu is so gorgeous!! I’ve never owned anything that girly before so I would attempt to wear it everywhere! Long walks in the countryside, to my local grocery store, to dance around to my favourite tunes in my bedroom, whilst getting ready for a crazy night out – the possibilities are endless!!
I would wear it to a wedding underneath a fantastically large skirt.
I wouldn’t want to show up the bride, but if there is a cute groomsman going spare why not try to grab some attention?
(I’ve been looking for a cute petticoat for ages so I’d probably wear it all the freaking time actually)
Id wear it while reading books and drinking cups of tea in bed
I’d wear it at my next party for sure !
I would wear a tutu in the middle of an epic scheme to romantically impress the boy I like, Amelie-style!
I would stage an epic scavenger hunt through the city of Melbourne, leading him eventually to a game of hide and seek in the Botanic Gardens. But I couldn’t hide for long because I’d be in a crazy pink tutu! So we’d picnic on champagne and cupcakes and listen to romantic 40s tunes. :)
I would wear it whenever I need something to buoy me up and make me smile…alternatively I would wear it to my interview in a couple of weeks :)
If there’s one article of clothing I have been consistently fascinated with, from my childhood to now, it’s been tutus. I used to have dreams about them, about parading around a ballet stage, the star of the show, jumping and twirling with the tutu accenting my every movement…
My grandmother made me one when I was eight years old, and even though it was winter, I’d wear it everywhere. To the supermarket, to church… once I even snuck it into school under my uniform! My teacher was not pleased.
If I had a tutu now (especially one as royal as the one being offered in this competition), I’d be so excited I wouldn’t know what to do with myself! I would certainly spend a great lot of time admiring it on myself in the mirror! I’d wear it on a walk to the frozen lake down the street, and I’d do my best to go ice skating without ice skates! I’d wear it to take my puppy for a walk! I’d wear it to school (then end up getting a little embarrassed and take it off until I got home X})! I’d wear it to a CONCERT in Central Park!! OH the possibilities are endless!
i’m imagining a ‘traveling tutu” scenario….i wear it to the opening of a friends farcical play and get to meet the cute girl sitting next to me because the tutu is practically in her lap….when i go backstage to congratulate my friend, a cast member falls in love and demands i trade for her beautiful black leather mini – i hesitate but i can see how much she needs the pinkfrothy in her life – after bicycling it all over town and wearing it to a big audition that she doesn’t get but learns a lot from, she contributes it to a friend’s burlesque troupe where it becomes famous around the hips of of the lead performer. i promise i’d only pass it along if someone really loved it though!
I would wear it while helping my friend trap small bats for her phD. With some thick tights underneath and big boots to protect me from the mud!
I would wear it to a fabulous cupcakes dinner with my boyfriend/love of my life, and then to a ridiculously absurd play. We would then walk hand in hand all night, and at dawn, we’d have a rad photoshoot on the Jaques-Cartier bridge, with the Montreal skyline in background. Gosh, now I want it so bad to happen!
I’d wear it to the woods, with my paw print wellies, when I take my dog for a walk:-)
I’d wear it to a meeting with my ex-boyfriend and would kick his ass! ;)
Lol, I’d wear it to school and spaz into dance and act gooffed in the office.
I would wear it to a walk around my conservative, Japanese neighborhood and use it as an excuse to start conversations with random people :)
I would wear it to a carnival. With some sort of outrageous head-wear and lots and lots of crazy rings. A candied apple in my hand, a giant, pink, stuffed unicorn under my arm and a look of menacing glee in my eyes…
www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
Or maybe I’d wear it with my best lingerie and highest heels to cook dinner in, or just lounge around on the couch. When my boyfriend came home from work I would greet him as usual, like its no big thang…
www.polyvore.com/untitled/set?...
Or maybe I’d just wear it to the shops…

I just moved to NYC three weeks ago to be closer to my agency (I’m a real size model), and I’ve been invited to the Carolina Herrera show for Fashion Week, which coincided with my birthday on Feb. 10!! SOOOO, that tutu would be worn for about seven days straight, not ONLY to the Carolina Herrera show at Fashion Week, but also to the Fashion 2.0 Award show, the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA and any other event (including my bday love making session) that I choose to do to celebrate my birth!!! It’s the perfect skirt for my perfect birthday week!!!
Since my boyfriend left me two weeks before Valentines day, I’d wear it out to a fabulous night of dinner and drinks with my girlfriends. I think it would attract the right kind of guy this time around.
I’d wear it on a day of fun, and mindless running on the streets with my best friend.
I’d wear it on a night of fun and debauchery.
I’d wear it to jump on her bed and wake her up, so she could wear hers too.
I’d wear on a night of drunken freedom.
I’d make love to that boy with frills and lace all around us.
I’d wear it to twirl on the park while everyone else looked and remembered what it feels like to let go.
I would wear it to my kindergarten class! They insist that I wear a “sparkly new bow” everyday and they would absolutely love this!
We’re having a party to celebrate the 100th day of school/Valentine’s Day and this would make a perfect outfit :)
I’d wear that tutu from the moment I woke up, til I collapsed in my bed at night. It’d be my favorite outfit for a girl’s night out or a new job interview!
I would wear this to my mom’s house as proof that she should have never taken me out of ballet when I was younger. I was born to be a ballerina.
$500 for a tutu? It must be magic!
There’s a “Valentine’s Burning” event I’m looking forward to attending, and this would be perfect for it! If won, I’d wear the tutu with:
- Pink Antoinette corset from Meschantes
- Pink Candyfloss heels from Irregular Choice
- Some alluring black lace stockings
- Black opera gloves
- And enough birds and flowers in my hair to rock the party!
Thanks so much for giving all of us this opportunity~
I am throwing a Self-Love Valentine’s Day get together amongst the single friends I have. Its entitled, My Secret Valentine. The required attire is anything that makes the guest feel good about themselves. Among the guests, is my older sister. She is fashion designer and when I invited her she asked if she could wear a tutu. I giggled a little bit but then realized that tutus do make women feel good. So if I won, I would gift the tutu to my sister on Valentines Day not from me, but from her secret Valentine. (Throughout the course of the night, the guests will get gifts from a “secret valentine” and the last gift will be a mirror. When they hold up the mirror, I’ll tell them that they have discovered their secret valentine…THEMSELVES!) This will delight her in so many ways, and she will wear it any chance she gets….to her next runway show, while she sits in the basement sewing, when she goes to Joann Fabrics and Vogue, while she measures and fits the models, during the spring line photo shoot, etc. Thanks for reading. Happy Self-Love Month!
One of my new year’s resolutions is not to wear jeans for an entire year. Pink tutu’s would be excellent to spicen up my wardrobe! I’d wear this to a Valentine’s dinner with myself. :)
I’m generally very serious (work demands it) though when I’m outside of the office I’m a fairly carefree person. I’d love to somehow incorporate this into a corporate outfit… and be able to pull it off while attending hearings and ocngressional briefings
Oh wow! I’ve never had a tutu. I imagine myself pulling a Carrie Bradshaw and walking down the street in it, then getting splashed with water. But unlike Carrie, I’d just laugh and keep going on my merry, flouncing way! I’d wear it out clubbing with girlfriends, to get groceries, to work, with cowboy boots, with thigh high boots, with anything!
Here in Denmark, it’s so cold the lakes has frozen over. I’d wear my tutu to go iceskating with my lovely boyfriend.
I would wear it everywhere and share it with my best friend. She is such a kindred spirit. This would brighten our lives and the lives of everyone we dance around while wearing it.
I’ve been doing ballet for basically all my life. If I had a tutu, I would wear it EVERYWHERE with EVERYTHING. Nothing would stop me dancing.
I would wear a tutu for a date in the park and run around pretending I’m a fairy.
If the tutu gets to me by Valentine’s Day, I’d wear it while I help a friend out with their sales at their shop. :D It’d be fabulous wearing it during that time; I’d be like a magical fairy of love and attract much more customers. I would also call a female friend and organize a meet up with her in the tutu! Traveling around the city, hanging out, having fabulous adventures, etc—you name it!
And… I’ll pick other random days to wear it and show myself how fabulous I am (though I’m already really fabulous without the tutu)! ;)
Hello, I’m a guy and I definitely would rock these tutus out avec my hairy legs on Valentine’s Day and defy masculine ideals. It will be the new the new kilts, only more fun an frilly. I’d probably wear it with my Toms Shoes instead of Laboutins. Just keepin’ it real.
This is completely off the subject but I know that Gala loves to read and I am sure most of you have read The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger(my favorite author) J.D.Salinger died last Thursday, I am sad and wanted to say something among friends, in his honor…so…if you haven’t read The Catcher In The Rye you should and if you have but that is all you have read of his please try Nine Stories! He was an excellent short story writer, his characters were fascinating and often quirky and he could really pack a lot of feeling and atmosphere into his little stories…so here’s to Mr. J.D. Salinger our reclusive, mysterious and clever friend!
I’d wear it so so so much! I would do cartwheels around the park and streets and all over the place! And spins! And anything flouncy! It’s also my friends birthday party in a few weeks…this would definitely be my wardrobe choice for that.
I would wear this beautiful tutu to my last day at work at a stuffy office…
to play frisbee in the park,
or for impromptu dance parties with bicycle lights used for mini-strobes.
Oh, such a lovely creation! I have never owned a tutu, so I thought long and hard about wearing one for the first time. Would I wear it first to a special occassion? Or act like it’s totally the norm for me to wear it while running to the post office? After much kvetching, I decided that the first time I would wear it I would be totally alone. A girl has to have some private moments, and her first time with a foofydreampuff dress is a good one! After much flouncing and prancing, I would invite my dachshund into my room to see what he thought about it. And after that, I would wear it while my wife took me out for cake.
If I won that adorable tutu I would give it to my wonderful, fabulous, daughter for Valentines Day! I would feel such glee in being able to give her something that I know she would fall crazy in love with and look so incredibly smashing in! Doing something special for my daughter really makes me very happy!
I would wear it to the park, to flounce and dance in the sun and feed the birds and squirrels. I love tutus and I have fond memories of prancing around the house in one as a child. I still have my childhood tutu, and if it were not ruined I would find places to wear it! I content myself to wear it in the house, but with this new and wonderful tutu, I can go out dancing and parading the streets with it!
My boyfriend is moving to South Korea for a year to teach English. He leaves in 3 weeks. I would wear it: 1. To the airport the airport when i send him off. 2. To the park, in my room, to the beach…whenever i miss him. 3. To Korea this summer when I go to visit him.
i’d wear wear it with thick wool tights and my tasselled boots to sit outside on a candlelit evening discussing philosophy, literature and the perfect cupcake recipe with my closest friends with a mixture of motown, rod stewart and kanye west playing in the background. i’d twirl and jump and dance in the freezing british winter night.
my fashion goal for this year was to not by so self conscious about my legs and stat rocking the skirts and heels, therefor, i would rock this tutu similar to how the model is in a black leotard or tank, tights, sky high heels and my favorite motorcycle jacket. ballerina tough baby ;)
I would wear it with a black tee shirt and my sparkly converse to school and then to pass out valentines to random people on the street.
I’d wear the tutu anytime I had to clean, because I loathe cleaning. I think it would completely change my perspective if I had to flounce while dusting, sweeping, etc. :) And if my roommate was out of the house, I would just wear the tutu…nothin’ else. ;)
i will wear mine…
after showers,
picking flowers,
sundays as i’m making brunch.
out to dances,
taking chances,
with the girls for cocktail lunch.
dinner dates,
with my mates,
as i study for my test.
grocery shopping,
credit card dropping,
when the rest of me is a total mess.
all of this will be seen not said,
as together we paint this city red.
xoxo
Oh I’d wear it to my most boring lectures at university, so it would cheer everone up!
I’d wear it over turquoise leggins with an oversized sweater with an 80s cartoon character on it and pink glittery Baby Phat sneakers!
My first thought is that I would wear it to my boyfriend’s Art Show Opening this Friday. This is his very first art show (aside from the college art show) so we are both excited for it and I’m so proud of him! But seeing as the winner is not chosen until the 9th, and that is after the opening… I would wear it to his future art shows! Because I know there will be many more. But better yet.. (sorry my love!) I would wear it to MY very first art show opening! It’s not in existence yet, but someday! I know I can do it… =) And being one of the artists, in a sweet tutu.. it would be grand!
I’d wear it on Valentine’s Day with purple wings whilst eating heart-shaped cookies and drinking tea :)
I would wear this tutu to work at the library and greet everyone in a silly French accent, while riding my bike to and from school, and while interviewing the stodgy and boring president of my university. I would wear it while babysitting my nephews and have a dance party. I would wear it while riding the bus to visit my best friend in SF, and bring cookies to pass out to strangers, because girls in tutus always carry treats. I would wear it with my jeans and have my hair in an explosion of curls, and I would borrow all of my roommates rings and bracelets and jingle everywhere I danced. I would wear it while making dinner and pretending to be British. I would wear it while practicing with my magic wand/remote to turn the lights on and off. I would wear it to accept all of my future journalism awards. and I would wear it while getting ready in the morning to put the correct flouncing attitude into my day.
Oh glittery Gala.
Your very much too kind.
Oh what I would do,
if this tutu was infact mine?
Well, I plus flouncy tutu
would be the finest two
a mathematical equation
devastatingly true.
She’d be my closest closet companion
no one could fit so slicker,
as she clung like love
covering my knickers.
The bespoke sock suitors I’d pair her with
each would fall head over those heels
and oh the parade of marbled shoes-
they’d never lose
upon her sexy bunny appeal.
a candy floss explosion
to knock-em-dead
as giddy carousel floats andleapoard skin coats fantasies their heads.
the boys jaw-dropped
the girls green
for a human to grace this garment
nothing quite so gleeful to be seen
And of this finest flouncing tutu,
no one need give it rather,
then the mine of solid sparkle shine,
the flamboyant ever scent empress that is GALA!.
I love YOU.
And the TUTU!!!
Thank you for this opportunity :)
xx
I would wear it on public transit and brighten everyone’s day! I’d make the daily commute one that no one on the bus or train would forget! Yippee!!!
Rage that beaut while teaching my middle schoolers Art. Students need to be exposed to alternative fashion, especially on Valentines Day! Let my little devil darlings know that it is not all about roses but, radical tutus!
I would wear it to my Psych Lab Tuesday afternoons, which is held in a tiny building at the edge of campus. The chairs are all close enough together so that my sleeves rub up against others’, so imagine the impact such an intensely 3D tutu would have! It could turn into such a distraction of color and touch that our lab would have to disband early, and we could all spend the rest of the afternoon dancing with the deer in the woods at the edge of campus, behind the lab building!
I’d wear it to do housework, with a black net shirt and frilly apron. I loathe cleaning, so I always wear flouncy dresses or lingerie – it goes so much faster, and I’m guaranteed to catch my husband’s attention (and assistance!).
I would wear it to my Grandma’s 90th birthday party in a few weeks, because I know it would make her smile!
And I would write her Tutu Haiku to put in her birthday card (with lots of XOXO’s at the end!) They might go like this:
“Things I wish to be
fairy or ballerina
tutus all around!”
or
“Tutus are so nice
such a magical garment
I am such a tulle!”
She would love it, and that would be the best part :)
I graduate from a Masters degree in September, and I would very happily rock that tutu peeking from underneath a black twirly skirt/dress. Extra poufyness to the max! My first degree grad outfit was bought at last minute and was a solemn grey affair that is completely at odds with who I am. I don’t even like to look at pics from the day. So I am determined to wear something fun and happy this time around.
Being away from my boyfriend on Valentines it would be a good way to keep me happy by wearing it with black boots and a beatles tshirt :)
Ode to the Tutu Girl
To wear a tutu
you must never be blue
or ever have cheese on your hem
you must be perfectly nice
keep your glass filled with ice
and keep your nails done ala le fem
To wear a tutu
you must be an ice queen
you must never be happy nor sad
you must fill your days
with botox, and pains
that come from abstaining from ham.
If someone I knew
could own a tutu
I would read them this somniferous poem
and hope that their brains
would be nearly as sane
as to not bury their heads in the loam.
To be pretty, and nice
requires not ice
but a smile, some glitter, a puff
of colors, some luck, and all those good stuffs
that I hope every girl today owns.
Strap your feet into heels
made of flowers and wheels
and set your course straight to the stars
keep your eyes to the light
and your fingers clasped tight
because this moment is no-one’s but ours.
I would wear this tutu to a prom party! I had one last year and would most definitely plan another if I had this tutu to wear!
POEMMMM:
—-
Radical self love
ain’t no gift from above
Can’t be wished ‘pon a dove
or be baked in a stove
It’s a gift from inside
Where blue faeries fly
Where unicorns cry
And to dream
..you just try.
This magical tutu
Made of yarn and pink tulle
Could be worn anytime
To express your love for you
To the market or to the fair
Or whilst eating chips in a chair
This baby’ll sure add some flair
Even if you wear it
..on your hair!
xoxo
Alyssa
If I won, I would be so happy I would wear it everywhere… I would be the most stylish girl on the street and the envy of all I meet.
i’d wear it to the jacob javits center for the robotics competition i’m in with my school along with our team t-shirt. just because robotics is cool, and adding a tutu would just make that day the best. plus, there’s a ton of guys at that competition, and thats the icing on the cake!
I’d wear it to have tea and blow bubbles with my 11 year old sister.
I’ll wear it to my work. All my female colleagues think I’m a tomboy, all my male colleagues think I’m one of them.
I will finish the outfit of with my black and white heels and a white blouse and a pink hair band. I will look edible :p
I’d wear it to my upcoming job interview! They couldn’t possibly turn down somebody who comes dancing in wearing a tutu!
I would wear it to go tree-climbing with my cat.
I would wear the tutu to self-defense class. No bad guy messes with pink tulle!
I don’t own a tutu but if I did I’d dye my hair pink, wear it with black sequin bunny ears, have a Victorias Secret slip tucked into it and steal Lady Gaga’s tallest shoes so I could wear it to The Gypsy Fair and flounce around in it while I led a procession of miniature ponies who are wearing matching tutus and bunny ears around a ringmasters circle.
I would wear it on days where I am feeling a little low & an amazing tutu like that is bound to have magical powers to instantly turn my frown upside down :)
I would wear it
To my creative writing club
And spin a web of poetry
Delightfully :)
xx
I would wear this splendid tutu out for a night on the town in Paris with a bunch of beautiful strangers!! Dinner and a show at the Moulin Rouge, giggling with my new friends over too much champagne, followed by dancing all night. The night would end with a 2am visit to the Eiffel Tower, and, of course, a curtsey!
o0o soo many places that I could wear this wonderful tutu, the possibilities are endless! :) I would wear it on valentine’s day! Treat myself by going for a meal and be the envy of everyone in the restaurant, and take fabulous pictures of my fabulous self and friends :)
Also an upcoming wedding I’m going to and make it just a little bit more magical for the happy couple. I’ll wear it to my very looong lectures to brighten up everyone’s day! And my graduation this summer it will be the most memorable day of my life and I want to feel special and fabulous and wearing this tutu would just do that and be the highlight of my day :) love and kisses xXx
i’ll wear it the next time it snows outside and take sweet pictures :)
I would wear it EVERYWHERE! I have never owned a tutu! I would wear it around the house with my black backseam stayups and a sexy bra for my boyfriend and then I would pull on lacy cami and a pink ribbon for my hair before we went out!
I would wear it to bed so i had fantastical fairy dreams in willy wonkas chocolate factory.
I would wear it on the waterfront under the stars & the moon dancing with my boyfriend.
I would wear it along the deserted streets of my neighborhood to bring a little love, magic and some eye candy :) to the locals.
Not to mention once im done spreading my love, i’d finish spreading it in a good hop in the bed with that sexy man of mine- haha :)
I’m doing the Race For Life in the summer, which is a charity 5k run in aid of Cancer Research UK, in support of my Mum and Nan. Me and my cousin are planning to run the race together, and we were just thinking about the outfits for it a few weeks ago. We both agreed it would be fun to wear pink tutus, so if I won I’d wear it to that, with my fluorescent knee high socks and fake eyelashes. ♥
I would wear it on a swing at the park down the street from me :o)
I also have this daydream of myself wearing it in an environment full of people in corporate suits. I’d be frolicking happily between them throwing glitter and sequins into the air…
~Allyssa
i would wear it in the studio (i study architecture), where i spend most of the day (AND night)
it’s also perfect with woolen cashmere tights and and a bikers jacket.
i would like to ride on my bike in it because i like tutu’s and riding a bike.
I will wear my Lynne Bruning tutu in the forest. My valentine and I play hide & seek with a hedgehog.

Gala,
I am so happy that THIS is up for grabs. I am a 19 year old love struck girl who finds herself doodling hearts on absolutely i see. I would wear this tutu in the kitchen, since i am an obsessive baker. I fall asleep dreaming of cupcakes, not even to eat – just the fact that the cute little bite size beauties can be made into millions of different shapes, sizes, flavours, and you can decorate them in every which way. I like the little ones best, not even to eat myself just to give away – and put on a smile on everyone’s face.
Since I live alone, with my boyfriend, I don’t really have anyone to bake for. I have been baking cupcakes for the hospital, bake sales for Haiti, and my boyfriends starving student classmates in film school.
I just moved to Vancouver from Calgary on a soul search. Trying to find “Radical Self Love” as you put it, that is why I am so happy that you’re doing this, this month. I am on a “happiness hiatus” as you could call it. So, this is what I would do.
I would wake up extra early on valentines day, curl my hair nice and big like a rock star! Sparkly hairspray it so it would hold all day! Put on the hottest pink eye shadow (probably “Passionate” by MAC) with silver sparkly eyeliner, do bright red lipstick to match, put on my Swarovski diamond disco ball earrings i got at the Swarovski factory in Austria, freshwater pearls (because all princesses wear them) a metallic silver bandeau from American apparel, sparkly tights from American apparel, and pink Barbie heels. I would top it off with a tiara (obviously) because it’s my birthday on valentines day!
After I got all dolled up, I would head to the kitchen! I would tie on the cutest little apron, and get to baking! I would probably bake angel food cake cupcakes with a little dollop of red food coloring in the batter, to make them hot PINK! I would make 24 jumbo size ones, and 48 baby ones, and put them in the oven.
In the meantime i would be dancing to mix of the sappiest, and the most upbeat love songs that exist! (I would have to get my boyfriend to photograph the entire ordeal, because it’s okay to be narcissistic like that sometimes)
While the cuppy cakes were baking, I would be preparing my masterpiece icing! Butter cream frosting mmm (insert drool here) The most simple, classic, and best tasting icing of life! I would make 4 separate bowls of it. (BRIGHT red, HOT pink, PEARLY white, PURPLE)that way i could decorate them in SO many different ways, which is the very best part : )
Once the cupcakes were decorated I would grab my silver umbrella (it’s always rainy here) and skip down the street in my tutu, I love dancing in the rain. I would deliver the little pieces of joy to the lovers on the street, the woman at my favourite coffee shop, the old folks home, and the children’s hospital. I would let the little girls model for me in the tutu, take pictures of them and print them off to keep in their rooms – because every girl is a princess. I believe valentines is not only about showing love to your partner, but to the entire world.
You should never need an excuse to embrace life’s simple pleasures, but what better day than valentines day to milk it.
Kisses, Beth.
I own a small cafe “Carrot’s Coffee & Tea” near SFO and I would love to wear it out on the sidewalk and give free samples to people on the street! I would wear it to make lattes and panini and feel like a goddess the entire time!
I would wear it to my school’s Undie Run that takes place during Finals week!
I would wear it on a day out with my best friends. We would all dress up and go all over town taking crazy photos.
OMFG this would be awesome to wear to the valentines dance at my school aaaaannnnnnnd would be double awesome wearing this on my first day in new york (in august)!!!!
I can see it now me prancing around new york the same new york I’ve been dreaming about for my entire 14yrs on this earth in my fanciest piece of clothing in my wardrobe a PINK TUTU
THE SCENE : DIES- REVIVES- MOONWALKS FOR A DAY
I’d wear it as often as possible to brighten things up here in ín the grey and freezing cold environment that Sweden is this time of the year. People wear dark, anonymous clothing and sort of fade into the background. I want to do the opposite, and bring the brightness and color of spring a little closer. Of course you can wear a tutu in the middle of the Swedish snowy winter, I’ll combine it with combat boots and tights!
I’d wear it to make ballerina snowangels!
I would wear it to the upcoming production of the Joffrey Ballet’s “Cinderella”, which I will be attending. It would be so perfect for an evening at the ballet!
I would wear it on my super-drab Midwestern college campus with my hair in two cat-ear buns and rhinestone false eyelashes and NOT STOP SMILING, even when Sweatpants gives me the stink-eye.
I would wear it to my upcoming Alice in Wonderland themed birthday tea party, and I would look right at home amongst the multicoloured teapots, mismatched china, and cupcakes covered in frothy pink and blue icing. I would team this tutu with some slouchy soft pink stockings and heavy duty lace-up leather ankle boots, a loose-fitting white tank beneath a velvety black blazer (with the sleeves rolled to the elbow to reveal an array of jangling charm bracelets, naturally, and a large pocket watch on a chain tucked into the pocket). I would have a long pink and white jersey scarf slung casually around my neck, and, as I am the host of the party, after all, I would top off the whole ensemble with a fabulous, oversized top-hat. All other guests would be required to wear rabbit ears of some description. We would drink teas of every variety, smoke fruit flavoured tobacco from ornate shisha pipes, ponder whether a raven really is like a writing desk, randomly indulge in fast and somewhat furious card games, and talk of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.

i’d wear my tutu to the zoo, and style my hair in a weird ol’ do!
i’d wear my tutu with pink blonde hair, and make all the weirdo boys look and stare!
i’d wear my tutu home on the tube, where the sticky doors could do with lobe!
i’d wear my tutu to work and think, ‘bloody hell’ this is a cracking pink!
:) love
xx
If i had such a lovely tutu there are many places i would wear it. I would wear it when i sing kareoke with my best friend.
but where i envision myself wearing it, is to the park where i would have a picnic with my love.
I’d wear it on my birthday party on Feb 27. Enough said.
Oh my, that tutu is amazing!!!! I’d wear it to work! I’m a nanny and I can see myself twirling around with the 5-year old while baking cupcakes for our secret tea party! Ofcourse I’d have to make her her own mini tutu but this can be taken care of! Oef, it’s so so so pretty… :)
Pink tutu with floral DocMarten, this easter.
Pink tutu with cropped gold sequin top at Nina’s fall wedding.
Pink tutu and a neon green bikini, lying in my backyard.
Pink tutu under a black fur coat, ice skating in front of the Somerset House.
My new year resolution. Owning a pink tutu
I would wear it on a silver-spangled rocketship to the moon, eating chocolate chip cookies and floating around trying to catch the crumbs mid-air.
I’d wear it on the day I come back to finally be with the man I love. At the airport. I think it would definitely add to the atmosphere of the romantic reunion.
I’d wear it with purple skinny jeans, and some amazing boots with lots of straps or zippers all over them…a wonderfully amazing t-shirt, a pink oxford shirt, and a tiara/super shiny headband/ and/or lots of amazing scarves…..and fingerless gloves. I’d wear it while walking around the city with a glittery fairy-godmother wand, granting people’s wishes and giving out free hugs :D You have to give love to receive love.
I’ll wear it when I go prowling around in the woods behind my house & take tons of FANTASTICAL pictures. :]
I would wear it when i felt like having people look at me. Otherwise I would wear inside all the time!
I’d wear it to the movies! Right near my house there’s a movie theatre where every Friday night at midnight they play a double feature of some great classic movies. Everybody who turns up is either in costume or in some wildly extravagant outfit (psychedelic ladies who watch movies?!). It’s a great event and I’ve been looking for something wildly extravagant to wear. A tutu would be perfect!
I will wear it when I skate
I’ll wear it when I’m out late
I will wear it as my bait
I will wear it to a fete
I’ll wear it with my new red hair
I’ll wear it with no underwear (?!)
I will wear it with great care
I will wear it EVERYWHERE!
I’d wear it to a cupcake picnic in the sun, for magical tree-climbing and twirling in circles.
I would totally wear the shit of it. Everywhere.
I love that tutu…i would wear it for a photoshoot with my best friend! and whenever i was just feeling sad. you can’t stay sad in a tutu.
i’d wear it to work. the librarian (yes, i work at a library!) could tell me to be quiet, to which i’d respond, “it’s not me—it’s my tutu!” good thing we don’t have a dress code.
WHERE WOULDN’T I WEAR IT?!
However, I am going to see Mama Mia at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on Valentines with a few of my friends, so I would flounce my fanny around in that tutu all night long!! I also work in a salon, so it would most likely be donned at least once a week to inspire happiness and joy to the stylists!
My virgin excursion in the tutu would be as soon as I got it. I would run around outside in front of my house, dancing and prancing, flouncing and bouncing, all over the sidewalk…
After that, I would wear it quite often, everywhere I go. :]
Incorporate it into an everyday outfit..
www.polyvore.com/frills_thrill…
Where wouldn’t I wear it?
First I would wear it out in a snowstorm (aren’t I daring? lol) and take pictures and video of thee excursion.
then I most definately wear it to class at my university. to show these poor kids/adults some styleeeeeeeee.:]
and I’d wear it to lounge around with leggings and my slipper boots, to watch delightfully “inappropriate” movies, while eating cupcakes with lots of icing(or maybe not that last part, because i tend to spill food only on my favorite clothes..lol)
i might just have to buy a ridiculous pair of shoes to wear with it as welli have a feeling there would be alot of neon or metallics worn with this skirt.oh… and glitter!
I’m pretty sure I would just wear this with everything, ALL the time.
I would wear this to class any day of the week, to campus parties on Friday and Saturday nights, and then out to lunch on Sunday afternoons. I would wear over jeans or legging or shorts or nothing at all, or under a sweet Lolita skirt or dress. It would be even better at all the anime and fantasy conventions I go to.
The places I’d go, the people I’d see
but to all those I’d go, they’d see me
in a frilly tutu, on a dancing spree.
There is the college in Arkansas – Hendrix – that has a tradition of girls dressing up as fairies and passing out condoms at Halloween parties. I don’t think this needs to be relegated solely to colleges or Halloween.
I’d wear this on valentines day to flit about the bar district and play the grown-up condom fairie, and then come home and play fairie to my lovely boyfriend.
Or just wear it to the aquarium – which is where he’s taking me :)
I forgot to say, I’d wear out out to icecream and karaoke! mmmm!
I’d wear it on a bike ride on a beautifully sunny day in spring!
Tutu Haiku
Luscious pink faire
In love with life and living
Dances by herself
I’d wear it to school, even though it is below thirty celsius right now…BRRR! with my second hand cowboy boots and a knitted toque I made myself :)
I would wear this to school, around my house and maybe even daring enough to wear it for my valentine’s day date!
I feel like i’d live in this thing.
I would wear it with purple rainboots and a hoodie while dancing under liquid precipitation, a.k.a. rain.
I’ll wear it to visit my grandmother. It would make her smile.
Perfect for the next (or fantasy) trip to Tokyo! I would troll 100 yen shops until I found accessories to complement, go to Harajuku and try to pass for a local. Super Kawaii!
The tutu of my dreams would be in a very soft rose and I would wear it with black killer high heels, a black tank top and teased hair which is put up in a chignon, wearing all my favorite silver bracelets while writing letters using sparkly blue and silver ink to my best friend who lives in Ireland now (and who I miss so much)
Then I would dance around in it to Passion Pit or Owl City or Bloc Party while taking a sip now and then out of my tea cup which is filled with white tea (have you tried it? It’s sooo good..) and eating my selfmade coco-yoghurt-lemon cupcakes..
I guess that would be what I would do :)
I’d wear it to act out a punk rock fairy princess fantasy on a woodland picnic with my sweetheart.
Underneath an oak tree, we would eat pear salad and cheesecake and drink miniature bottles of wine. We would make out on the blanket as it got dark and then frolic home under the stars.
Voici ma Polyvore: www.polyvore.com/comment_avez_…
Oh lovely pink tutu where would I wear you? To the park, with a black leotard and a sparkly turban. I’d sit with the old lady who feeds the birds and give free tarot card and palm readings to the on lookers and skeptics.
As I write farewell notes to my lovers and before tea I set off on my own little adventure!
www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
I would wear it to an art gallery with Brendan. He is the coolest guy in the world.
To my exams, for the good luck i so desperately need right now!
I’d wear it the very day I got it…from mornin to night…all over town and bridges, sun shinin through my hair.
I’ve never owned a tutu before but that one looks fabulous! I think I would wear this to the Alice in Wonderland tea party I’m helping to plan for a friends Girl Scout troop. We’re celebrating the new Tim Burton Alice movie and this would be the beginning of an awesome outfit.
I would wear it to fairyland. I would be the envy of all of the other fairies and the pixies would gather around my feet and stroke the lovely tutu with their tiny hands.
The fairies would grant me wings so that I may fly above the woodlands. Would the effect be the same without a tutu? I think not.
I’d wear it to the gynecologist and insist that I keep it on during the exam.
Or I’d wear it to a nude beach, with nothing else on.
OR, on a more G-rate note, I’d wear it to babysit my cousins. They’re getting older and it makes me sad to see them losing their childlike crazy. I think a tutu would get them going again. :D
I would throw a theme party and have fun spending a while hunting through thrift stores and places building a costume around it. There are so so many possibilities and eccentric fun to be had. Plus the circus is coming to town soon, and I would definitely require a tutu.
A special tutu like that would be perfect for upcoming Autumn leaf-stomping expeditions. With my gumboots with a cherry pattern and my favourite bomber jacket on it’s first out since winter, stomping through the freshly fallen colourful autumn leaves.
makes me excited that summer won’t last forever. :)
I would wear it all over China! It’s my year, the tiger, so I would wear it down to Nanjing Road and Lujiazui in Shanghai for the new years celebrations/valentines day (The same day this year!) I would wear it to Xian and Beijing and I would wear it to class to show my stuffy students that not everyone in America dresses like they do on Gossip Girl.
I would put a little cropped sweater and some rad chunky jewelry with it for a vintagey feel that I love so much, and some naughty monkey ankle boots that I’m so very fond of. www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
I’d wear it while gardening and riding my bike!
I would wear it to my salsa classes!
So i can twirl around like a beautiful cupcake patty doing the basic steps.. 1,2,3..5,6,7
:D
I would wear it as my first royal act, being the Ruling Ponicorn Princess.
A tutu like that is meant to be worn as a royal attire alone.
I would appear wearing it on the Ponicorn Land Stamps, so that every single Ponicorn in my kingdom would see it.
I would wear it to my conservative high school along with a blue bob wig, and doll makeup with pink cheeks!
To fit in with my attire, I would only mime all day!
xx
I’d wear it to school :p
Look at all the floofyness! I would have to invest in a trampoline, because that tutu would be perfect for trampoline jumping (my bed is not nearly bouncy enough).
I would wear it those days when you really want to stay in bed and wallow in self pity. That tutu teamed with my pair of pink Dr M’s would drag me out of that ditch and off for a dance.
I guess I’d have to take up ballet and wear it to lessons… and perhaps show off my tutu and dance skills in da club on a Saturday
That tutu I’d wear for stage-diving
and I’d wear it in my car
It’d obviously help me learn to drive
‘Cause tutus help people go far. (fact)
I’d wear it baking cookies
And when re-enacting Cabaret
which is something that just has to be done sometimes
On this I think we all can agree!
I’ve always wanted to learn to snowboard
and I think it’d be badass
to go rocketing down snowy hills,
with gorgeous pink frills upon my ass!
I’ll wear that tutu now at 23
And still when I’m 102
For it’s an age old truth, which everyone knows
that tutus grow up with you!
I would wear it together with THIS ensemble: www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?i…
And, whilst wearing these threads of JOY I would take over the world with my pug Horatio. He’s a theoretical pug right now as I can’t have animals in my flat BUT when I do get him we will be a formidable force! Anyway having done the taking over bit we’d spread a new world order of positivity and free sherbet for all! This is my plan :)
I’d wear it to my wedding!
I’d wear it to work! Talk about serving coffee and food in a tutu. Maybe I’d get more tips. But maybe I’d scare people off. I wouldn’t care though!
I would so wear this to drop the kids at school with my pink gumboots and a little cardigan too cute! Pretty sure the other mums think im nutts so this would be to awsome!
i would wear it snowboarding, over my snowpants, to give some cheer to fellow skiiers and boarders.
I’d wear it to my art college, everyday. :)
I would definitely wear it in bed, with a pink ruffled bra, and knee high stockings. And then proceed to roll around in my silk sheets and then maybe invite a certain someone over(: x
I would wear this tutu on a ferris wheel on the lake! Preferably while holding hands with my boyfriend and eating giant ice cream cones!
A tutu is a fabulous investment to make to any wardrobe. I would be pretty in pink as I sashayed my way to classes. I would pirouette my way through dances as party as tulle swirled around me. It would be the perfect thing to wear any where. :)
I’d wear this magic TuTu* at a BUBBLE GUM party! Don’t ask me exactly what it is..I just imagine it as a very girly party..with a soft atmosphere, pink walls, good music and bubble bath!!!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I would wear a tutu…
-On a spring picnic, like this: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
-During my road trip this summer, like this: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=15…
I’d wear my tutu to brunch at a little cafe around the corner from my house. Perfect attire for eating eggs Benedict.
I would wear it to the Aquarium/while shopping/when I feel sad/to work. Basically any day or time I need to insert more whimsy into my life.
I’d wear it longboarding to a cake shop for dessert.
I’d wear it to have sex.
And poop.
I want this! xoxoxo And I’d wear it to a quincenera!

I’ll no doubt find a man

I would wear it when I fought crime, OBVIOUSLY.

I Love This! I Would Wear It EVERYWHERE. Recently I’ve Really Enjoyed Getting Dressed Up To CLEAN THE HOUSE, This Tutu Would Be So Perfect For It. I Would Totally WALK THE DOG In The WOODS Whilst Wearing It. I’d Wear It When My Friends Came Round To Bake CUPCAKES. I’d Wear It To Do My WORKOUT DVDs. Would Wear It To My Next JOB INTERVIEW. Also, My Friend & I Are Going To See LADY GAGA In London, Then Spending The WEEKEND IN DUBLIN, Those Two Places Would Be So Much More Special With A Beautiul Tutu. We’re Going To Have A GLITTER PARTY In Our Hotel Bathroom, Where Else Better To Wear Something Like This?! Think Glitter, Cupcakes & Tutu, It Just Works! Please Gala, Bring Some Extra Glamour To My Life! xoxo
This would be like a flashback to when I was a kid and had dance lessons with recitals in the spring. But much better. I’d wear it going to the library, so I could squeeze in an arabesque while I reach for a book on the shelf and twirl as I walked up to the check-out machine.
Wow…I most certainly would wear it for the meeting I have in March at a record company. How can they NOT sign me wearing this piece of awesomeness, what part of it DOESN’T scream ‘pop star’?? :)
oh my GOSH i was just saying the other day i needed a tutu!!
i would wear it with leggings and boots and a leather jacket eating ice cream in the dead of winter and making funny faces at people in shop windows. i’d wear it in the summer with flip flops and tank tops and elaborate hair, skipping down the sidewalk swinging a sparkly purse. id wear it in the cool spring evenings to swing on swings while waiting for the first star to come out for wishing!
This is lovely…
I could just see myself wearing this while pirouetting through nimbus clouds, eating cupcakes and sprinkling heart shaped glitter in my wake.
i’d wear it while strolling on a glacier!
I would wear it on the elaborate Subway dinner date I’m going on with my guyfriend this weekend – I just broke up with my boyfriend so planning exciting dates is a must! We’re going to dress up in our most fabulous clothes and buy the most extravagant subs we can afford while all the club-goers stare in bewilderment. :)
I would wear this tutu with an oversize hoodie and my knit cat hat to go ice skating with my best friend. After we ice skate, we always get icecream, so I’d put on my trusty beat up chucks and some bright colored tights for that!!
i would wear it when i do all my #radicalselflove activities.. as a uniform of sorts. To bake cupcakes, take fabulous outfit photos, whilst I write love letters to my favourite people and scream affirmations at the top of my lungs, and for all iCiNG homework!
I’d wear it all the time! I’m unemployed right now and I’ve been home a lot, trying not to wear my “nice” clothes in case of a job interview. Well, I’d feel a lot better about not having a job and eating grilled cheeses everyday if I got to eat my grilled cheese in a tutu!
This beauty will be perfect for splashing through fountains, no? Also required for this beautiful moment: glorious long locks, falsh eyelashes, and very pretty undies for when your wet blouse and tutu become see-through. ;)
I would wear this tutu down the street just to see the looks i got.
I would wear this tutu to school just so that i could get sent out of class and to the principals and see the look on his face when i walked nonchalantly into his office in all my pouffy frilly glory.
I would wear this tutu when i was feeling down and out and automatically feel happy and bright once i hoisted it up.
I would wear this tutu to take amazing pictures.
I would wear this tutu just to wear it, to know it was mine, and love it.
I would wear it everywhere and anywhere.
i would totally wear it just in time for valentines day! it would look so cute with a corset and a classic set of black pumps. it would be the most amazing closet staple for all those wannabe ballerinas like me out there :)
tinypic.com/r/29b28td/6 – my polyvore set.
I’d wear it on bad days to cheer up!
i would wear it while sipping hot chocolate in a coffee shop, completley dolled up in the nightime, being non chalant and filling people (and most importantly myself!) with images of romance, intrigue, tragedy and so much more. I would wear it to the movies and in the middle of the concession area break out into dramatic monolgue. I would put it on and become a crazy dramatic wonderful romantic person and let out my inner fantastical ballerina
How I’ll wear it…
www.polyvore.com/badass_alice/...
When I’ll wear it…
whenever I’m feeling good, whenever I’m feeling bad, whenever I do errands, whenever the boyfriend is around
I’d wear it to the Doctor’s office, like Ace Ventura when he had to go under cover at the mental hospital! AND, of course, to a couple job interviews :)))))))) Oooooh, and to dinner when I go out with my girlfriends :) They never see me completely dolled up, but I’ll feel awesome in a tutu!!!!
I’d wear it anywhere and everywhere. But mostly I think I’d wear it when I needed cheering up, how can you be sad in a tutu? Exactly, you can’t. So it would be the perfect cure :)
I’d wear it out belting out MJ hits at a Karaoke bar. I’d go to the library and camp out reading nietzche in the childrens section. Hell, I’d go to the opera in this tutu.
Regardless of if I win or not, this has inspired me to purchase more tutus.
I’d wear it to the park the weekend before Valentine’s Day. I’d wear it with my lovely artwork flats. I’d buy balloons and ask a friend to take photgraphs. (She’ll be wearing her own tutu, too, of course). We’d take lots of pictures of each other, and eat chocolate ice cream all the way home.
I’d wear it to the beach at night and laugh when the wind would blow it all around – I guess I’d need to wear cute undies too! (I’d try not to go swimming in it and get it wet but no guarantees because hey, it’s the beach and how much fun would it be to swim in a tutu?)
I would wear it to my High School graduation this year in September.
It would be my way of showing them that no matter what they did to me, and how hard they tried, they didn’t extinguish my beautiful, glittery spirit.
The ultimate ‘you lose’!
I would finally sign up for the dance classes I’ve been aching over for so long. And I would wear this tutu to the classes/practice :)
I would wear it on the train with long woolly socks when the skies are grey and my mood is a little blue. I’d walk with extra bounce just so that it would move with me as I skipped along.
I’d wear it when I’m alone in my room, studying hard, with heels and liquid eyeliner and perfume, because dull things are much better when you are dressed up.
This tutu totally evokes my childhood memories of serving tea and fairy cakes to the imaginary princesses, while dressed up in a pink and blue fairy outfit with boatloads of glitter. I would love to wear this tutu along with a pair of rainbow fairy wings and black 3 strap heels to serve iced tea and an enormous selection of cupcakes topped off with glitter sprinkles and 100s & 1000s in a crowded park at the weekend, and encourage people to join me in holding a splendiferous tea party!
Oh, I’d wear it as an everyday item, to be sure, but I’d also DEFINITELY talk my sister into going out on a photoshoot with me in it! She’s a brilliant photographer, and we live in an area with gorgeous landscapes… think of it: landscape, cows, maybe a vineyard, and TUTU!!! So lovely!
I would wear it here and there i would wear it everywhere. I would wear it on my secret adventures to everywhere with my best friends. I’d wear it to pass out love letters to strangers in parking lots. I’d wear it while hooping in parks.
Next show by of Montreal, sweaty and covered in glitter, tulle swishing in my wake. Perfection.
I’d wear this with sequinned black leggings, high heeled low cut black boots, a black tank top and purple frilly scarf around my neck.
Then a messy bun, fake eyelashes and a pair of pink fairy wings I made myself!
Sounds perfect!!!
I’d wear this with tights and/or leggings and a lace bodysuit to the club!
id wear it valentine’s day @ the airport, where i finally get to see my boyfriend after being 6 months across the world!
I’d wear the tutu everytime I want to put a smile on someone’s face (including my own). I mean, what other piece of clothing can make you as happy as a tutu ;).
One extraordinary thing only tutus can do, is to make everday chores seem special and I really think there should be more special moments in my life.
If I won the tutu, I’d enter my local Race for Life (http://www.raceforlife.org) in the UK and I’d wear it running the 5k with thousands of other pink-clad women and girls, who are taking part to raise money for Cancer Research UK. That’s where I’d wear it!
Well. I will wear this tutu on Feb 14th, definitely. It’s sunday and it will be the perfect day to go out with my sweetie pie. It’s still pretty much cold here in Italy but I don’t care as I live in the most enchanting place on earth. I work as a SEO analyst, so you can guess, I wear nerdy things all week long. And with this tutu we can make lots of funny, fashion, lovely and nice pics! We don’t have many photos together, we have to start taking them someway! Hanging around the narrow little streets in Venice, catching sunbeams in the Zattere, kissing and cuddling in Saint Mark Square at late night when nobody is there and you can sit on the bar chairs…
Plus, Feb.17th will be my 27th birthday and I really, really need somthing stunning to wear to go dancing with my friends…Don’t you think this tutu would be the perfect solution? With a pair of high black boots and a studded black tshirt. And of course, glitter all around my eyes!
To the airport, where I see my gorgeous bf for the first time (4 months of skyping and chatting for every waking moment of my days — 3 more months and we’ll finally meet!)
I’d wear it to any gynecologist appointment. Even if it’s against procedure, who could deny a tutu?! Not only does it match the feminin aspect of the appointment (let’s be honest, nobody matches their clothes to their doctor appointment, but I’m totally willing to start the trend!) It also matches the theme of Radical Self-Love Month in regards to accepting your body, keeping yourself healthy, and loving yourself over all. Plus, who doesn’t look good with their legs spread in a tutu?
I would wear it to my boring office job (where I have already gotten in trouble for my clothes), march into my boss’s office & quit with a twirl and flourish and follow my own crazy dreams!
I’d wear it to the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival in the Femme Parade!
I would wear it to my birthday party (this week!), for valentines day and my 3rd year aniversary with my boyfriend.
And then, to top it all off, I would wear it to the hospital where I work as a pediatric resident. I think the kids would LOVE it! It would put a smile on the faces of kids who really, really need it.
I would take it traveling with me. I would wear it to America to jump through the red, orange and brown leaves in fall. I would wear it to New Zealand and try to find where the hobits are hiding. I would wear it to Tahiti to walk along the beach at night, dipping my toes in the sea. I would wear it to Europe – to the vineyards in Italy and the art galleries in France. I would take a picture in each place with me flouncing the tutu and living my dreams.
If I had such a glorious thing, I wouldn’t wear it anywhere in particular at all. Instead, I would put it on every day after I got home from my extremely conservative and strict school (which doesn’t allow any deviation from the set uniform code.). And by wearing this tutu, I’d feel like I’d caught back a little of the personality and originality I had lost during the day of suppression.
That is a gorgeous tutu!
If I owned it, I’d wear it with my favorite t-shirt and pair of heels, . I’d love to/ debut it at my upcoming Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year celebratory Dinner. I could also wear it on an upcoming ice-skating-and=-tea outing with my friends.
Hmmm… Tutu love!!!
I would wear this in so many way: paired with black motorcycle/combat boots, a black perfecto leather jacket and a cute tank top for a relaxed day of not-too-many-frills street roaming in an unknown city.
On a night out, with cuban heel stockings and a black bustier/corset (according to the artistry of the Man’s hands and whether he knows how to unlace a corset!), just right for tantalizing a man’s delicate spirit.
Also, if I’m feeling blue, wearing this out on a photographic walk would make me all the happier, paired with shoe boots, a comfy yet fun t-shirt and any sort of mad jacket (I made a beige military tails jacket with black trimming which would suit this occasion perfectly…. must wear it some time soon!).
Have a wonderful day!! xx
Totally Thinking the Ladies who Lunch thing. I’d set up ridiculous lunch dates with friends and this would be the center piece of my outfit! And of course I’d have to have a matching drink! XD
I’d wear it while drinking champagne and making rice krispy treats!
I would wear it under my wedding dress when I get married in October!
But also I would wear it on Valentines day, during the big Bring Your Own Meat barbeque we are hosting at our house.
I’m afraid I have to say I would not wear it, something that lovely should be shared. So I guess my response is that I’d share it with my friend miss Lynz who is going through a very hard time at the moment and could do with feeling like a princess for a while
I would wear this out and about to delight strangers! :>
Tutus are cute
And I love photography so much
So i’d probable wear it
To take pictures as a nonesuch!
I’d wear it to my violin concerts!
People would expect me to wear a clean cut, classy, un-flashy dress, but instead, I’d wear that amazing, FLASHY AND INCREDIBLE tutu and rock it. ;)
ooooooh! Pure enchantment!
I’d wear the tutu: running through the forest, talking to the animal creatures, to the stream I hear running below my office right now. I’d invite over a photographer too, to document the Tutu’s Enchanting Adventures. I’d post the photo documentary to share & inspire others toward grand, fluffy, fantastic and magical gestures of beauty and love.
Dancing up and down the aisles of my grocery market :)
I would wear it to stroll along the river and feed the ducks, and make everyone wonder what was going on. Then again, I’d just about wear it everywhere.
I’d wear in while twirling at a dance party, kicking butt at a LAN party or sipping Cosmos at a cocktail party. Party dress!
i would wear it in my art room, a place for dreaming, sketching and scheming…a journey all my own, making the dress the inspiration of all artistic endeavors there forward…capitalizing on its frilly, self-indulgent gorgeousness :)
I would wear it right away! And I would wear it to the park, over some black tights because it’s cold outside. With flats, a black shirt, and a cardigan. I would tie my hair up in a bow-bun and it would be fantastic!
I’d probably wear it anywhere!! It’s not really a problem when and wear, it’s how you will wear it with.. strike a pose a take pictures, have some fun and be you true self.. Its how fashion works :)
I’d wear it with these: www.polyvore.com/ps_love_you/s…
Or something close to it :3 My highest pumps with bows attached to ‘em, my thin turtleneck sweater, my black tights and a whiff of Miss Dior Chérie. All to create a look of classic elegance with a very fitting whimsical flair~
I’d wear it out on a rainy day, I’d wear it to delight everyone (including myself). I’d wear it because it’s “just so me” ;P I’d wear it while kicking my boyfriend’s a** on the XBox, and to dinner afterwards.
Much love xxx
To the beach!
With a b/w striped bikini… and that’s it!!!
Well… and probably anywhere else…
Where would I wear this? pirouette-ing around my kitchen of course! (As a matter of fact, I am already wearing this in my imagination!)
Ooooooh, so gorgeous!
I’d wear this with pink fairy wings to do cartwheels on the beach with the wind in my hair and the sound of the surf pounding in my ears. I’d wear it for Valentine’s day with heels to die for and pink lingerie, for my lovely paramour. I’d wear it in the office under “client” dresses… and revel in the flouncing.
To karoake! I would wear the tutu and my valentines day spirit to a round of karoake in the city! :D
I would wear that awesome tutu to work for V`s Day( i work for a national online tabloid in Romania and on the 14th i will be @ work), just to make everyone smile or just leave them straightfaced, because they are all so serious and boring.
I’m entering this contest because this is something I’d never do. I passed this post by initially because, a tutu? Really? I’d never wear it, because I’d look completely infantile and totally unrespectable around campus.
Except that this is the month of radical self love, and this is my new transformed soul. I might wear it to class, or wear it to a friend’s place, but wearing it isn’t the point. It’s enough for me that I’m overpowering my initial cynicism, unease and self-limiting reactions by making this post.
As soon as I get the tutu, I would wear it to the MRT station & go somewhere, anywhere! :)) wohoo!
Hopefully on a vacation to France. I would wear it skiing but I’m not sure how smart that is :)
I’d wear it everywhere. I’ve never had a tutu before and I’d loooooove to have one. I’d really love to wear it to prom. That would be so cute. :]
i’d wear this with black fryes and a tiny, thrifted kids shirt with a dinosaur on it, and ride my bike everywhere. Occasionally, I’d jump off the bike and twirl around for a bit before going on my way!
Oh it’s beautiful!
I’d love to be able to wear it to ‘work’ as a kids party entertainer, a fairy :)
I dress up, play fairy games, and tell stories about fairy land. This would be the perfect magical tutu to go with my sparkly wings and glittery makeup.
How awesome it would be to flounce around in such a beautiful tutu, while at the same time, really making some little girls bithday magical :)
I would wear it to school! As I go to an art school, I believe it would be perfect school attire! I believe I would also wear it grocery shopping and just around the house.
I would wear it to drink cocktails on rooftops…and also on one of those exceptionally windy Melbourne days because items of clothing being blown around by the wind never fails to make me laugh.
i’d wear it EVERY-FRIGGIN-WHERE, especially to my makeup school. we’re artistic and we need tutus! i need a 4th to add to my collection!
Anywhere. I love dressing in eye-catching ostentatious clothing.
I would wear it to Disneyland! My awesome husband is taking me to Disneyland in April to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We are high school sweethearts and have been trying to plan a Disneyland trip for years. I would feel like such a princess in a pretty tutu and my 20eye Doc Martens :)
I would wear it everywhere, but especially to dance in! A big pink tutu fits me perfectly and I love this one. If I don’t win, I may have to make my own! I would wear it all the time with boots and sneakers and jean jackets and lots of jewelry!
i’d wear it all over the streets of santiago chile!
It would be a perfect wear for my ‘perfect wedding’, where my wedding march would be Its oh So Quiet by Bjork, and I’d dance and sing to the song down the isle with back up dancers flooding in and out of the back rows of seats.
with white stockings and glitter as a valentines gift
If I had my tutu,
I would only wear one shoe,
and wear it all around town.
I’d have a twinkle in my eye,
and a handsome looking guy,
holding my hand down the street.
I would skip to the beat
coming from the band down the street,
and my smile would get three times as wide.
Until I would see,
that the guy isn’t there – it’s just me
alone on this Valentine’s Day.
I’d cry till I learned
That I’m actually unconcerned.
My tutu is the only friend I need!
But look over there!
That’s a handsome man almost walking on air.
And he likes how I look in my tutu…
I feel so pretty,
and my tutu helps me be flirty,
and I walk up to just say “hello.”
Maybe I won’t be alone this Valentine’s Day after all.
I would take a beginners ballet class, and show up wearing this magnificent piece of art… and then proceed to dance my heart out, despite not knowing any ballet.
I would wear it while watching football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d wear it on my upcoming birthday, in my magical-themed birthday party with enough glitter to make a new tutu out of.
And when that happens, I will have two. :)
I would wear this tutu to sell band merchandise at my boyfriend’s band’s shows. It would give me magical saleswoman powers
i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/...
ok i will join in- why not?
I would love to be brazen and wear my tutu out to do the shopping but I think it would be my cheermeup feeling like a recluse outfit.. with my blue sparkly homemade fox mask with feathers and a slouchy jumper and ugg boots.. i would wear it and twirl when i had the sniffles, the boy blues or just in a down funk… then i would dash out to put things in the bin or check the postbox really quick so people who saw me were sure they saw something… but not quite sure what it was.. but it was pretty dazzling gliterriness… like a brighten your day flashsuperhero.. perhaps after doing this for awhile i would work up the confidence to wear it to do my shopping or out on a date etc.. but i would start small, secretive and sparkly..

I’d wear it on a fabulous Valentines date – I’d be the only one wearing something so unique and i’m sure my boyfriend would love it! :)
I would wear it to Phipps Conservatory so I could say I love you to the flowers!
i would wear it to go ice-skating & pretend i was really good at it & fly & twirl around like a fairy princess :]
I’ll wear it when I’m dancing on the moon!
All I can think about now is wearing it on a date/walkabout with my “brand new” bf :D I’d be so awesome, since I’m more of a boyish kind and the weather is really cold and gray :D
Secondly, I’d def wearing it while drumming at my church :D woohoo
This is amazing!
Thank you Gala for this chance! It’s a wonderful tutu!
I’d wear it with a white tank top, a long chanel-esque necklace, my rabbit mask, silver sparkly knee high stockings and pink&gray spats over my white Docs!
I would wear it on beautiful sunny days while biking around town so that everyone could see it and enjoy it as much as me _
I would wear it on days when I’m feeling down as a way to pick me back up and remind myself that things aren’t quite so bad.
My tutu to empower me.
I’d feel feminine and strong.
This tutu would make me feel confident and powerful all day long.
It will help point me in the right direction to right all my wrongs.
It will inspire me to make a change and free my wings for flight.
Not to mean it’s wear-ability at conventions, the movies, and anything leading to the night.
This tutu if I received it would truly be a surprise!
It’d help me on my way to shed my old skin and don the new me minus my disguise.
I love this tutu! It would pale in comparison to anything I would be able to by. It so happens I’m in a phase in my life where I need me and I can’t find me. So I’m to make a new me inside and out this tutu would be perfect. I’d wear it at home all the time as well as conventions where I would definitely get asked where I got it from. I’d where it will trying something new out. Or learning to do something I might love like photography and I could feature it in the photos. I where it to the movies or on a girls night out where only how we feel matters.
I would definitely wear this to work, especially on a Monday where things may seem blah but because I’ll be wearing this, I’d be high on fun and inspiration. Cheerios!
I would wear it to break up with a guy that is totally mean and not worth my time. This year, V-day is going to be about loving and respecting myself and dismissing the people who dont show the love. I think the tutu would send a clear message … I am fabulous and shame on you! kisses.
This is a quite silly little art song I made up for you. I tried to add my recording, but it’s being a bit difficult.
“If my tutu were pink.
I never would rethink
my outfits every morning.
It can be so incredibly boring.
shoes of pale pink.
hose of hot pink.
coat of fuchsia pink.
gloves of salmon pink.
In fact I’d never get a wink
except in pink.
If my tutu were pink.
But alas no mater what you’ve heard,
the facts are consistently absurd.
For my tutu isn’t pink.
And what sets the mater even more askew,
I haven’t any tutu!”
.bright red lipstick and a cup of tea.

I would wear it neverendingly!
I absolutely adore Valentine’s day. I spend weeks planning and plotting Valentine’s cards and gifts for my family and friends. I’d wear this scrumptious pink confection over a sexy navy silk bra and panty set with a sheer, pastel camisole, a faux fur vest, shimmery stockings and pink suede moccasins while baking heart shaped cakes, burning pink lychee scented candles, and coloring anatomically correct, gold-veined hearts with butterfly wings.
What I’d wear:

I would wear it on my birthday, which just happens to be Valentine’s Day, and this year Chinese New Year as well. Whoo! :)
In the morning I would get a full body massage, mani/pedi, a facial, and get my hair done.
Around noon I’d head out with my stepsister and two best friends. We would get henna tattoos and have a photo shoot on a playground at a park after we got some Sonic. We’d hula hoop, wear fake mustaches, take a quick swing dance class, go to this thrill ride place and ride one, and
That afternoon, I would go out with my boyfriend. We’d go to Victoria’s Secret and I’d let him pick something out. Then we’d go to an independent movie theater and see a movie. Afterwards we’d get our palms read and find a photobooth. We’d sit at the empty fountain and make out until the dart arrived to take us home.
Then we’d go back to his place to smoke some and have a little fun. ;)
Then we’d meet with my friends and family at a hotel suite for mint chocolate chip cupcakes and ice cream. We’d check out the hotel gym, pool, hot tub, sauna, etc and do it ALL while jacked up on sugar and make a video of it. We’d play a game of some sort like Disney trivia and truth or dare, have a water fight, go on the roof and take pictures of us being brave, play music too lous, jump on the beds, create a bubble bath that fills the entire bathroom with bubbles, drink (the rebels we are), stay up all night to watch the sunrise, make a fort, and sleep all day.
i would wear it to my high school graduation in May. i can’t think of a better way to say farewell than with a bit of tulle peeking out from under a bland gown.

I’d wear it for a day full of fun with my partner & groups of friends; cupcakes & coffee, digging through travel memoirs & Ayn Rand & Flowers in the Attic paperbacks in my favourite second hand book store & a winter picnic of chili & hot chocolate at the giant park near my apartment (with the Louboutins traded in for legwarmers & rain boots, of course!).
I’d wear it with my Doc.Martens and a see through top
strut right into school and show it off
then walk home down the middle of the street—literally stop traffic with it. Then i’d shower with it, or maybe not cause’ i wouldn’t want to ruin it.
Its a nice idea though.
I would wear it on a relatively easy hike at these hills nearby my house. At the top of the hills are some picnic tables that overlook the city. I would have lunch there with my dearest friends in that tutu :)
I would wear it to school on free dress day, They always have such strict dress codes and I’m sure it would turn heads. After that I’d wear it everywhere. When I wasn’t wearing it, I’d hang it in my bedroom just to admire it.
Moi, je vous adore! As single gal, I’m typically have an underrated Valentine’s day. But this year, I plan on baking lovely pink and red cupcakes and cookies with my dearest friends.
After the holiday, I hope to wear the tutu to go swing dancing. It’s so perfect for twirling and bouncing around any dance floor.
I made this polyvore set, www.polyvore.com/gala_darling/...
showing my ideal outfits, one for both baking and dancing. :)
Oh Tutu, Oh Tutu
I’d wear you all day
When I’m feeling mischievous
On my hips you’d sashay
Oh Tutu, Oh Tutu
You’re pretty and pink
And in a size medium
Throw you on in a wink
Oh Tutu, Oh Tutu
Without a Valentine in sight
I’ll be okay without one
Wearing you out for a girls night
Happy Valentines Day to all the single girls out there!
And thanks for this contest and the tips on radical self love!
I’ll wear it on Valentines Day to a big Lunar New Year festival held annually in my local community. Hundreds of people go there—especially families with little kids and grandmas/grandpas! I would love to giggle as I walk by them and heads turn my way :)
I would wear it to turn the horses out, in the morning! It’d be just the thing to make getting up at an ungodly hour a little bit more bearable and teamed with a sweater and my favourite welly boots, I’d flounce back from the field dreaming of becoming a circus-gymnast-horse-riding extraordinaire!
I believe it’d look a little like this; i48.tinypic.com/ioznds.jpg
I would wear it to meet my boyfriend’s North Carolinian grandmother. I would feel like quite the Southern Belle with a tutu and a pair of worn-in boots.
This would go swimmingly with my ultra pink tights and opalescent origami crane hair piece. I’d feel like…magic. And of course with feeling like magic comes doing magical things, like loping across bridges and frolicking and what have you.
I would perambulate straight through the downtown area without a moments hesitation, giving a retrospective nod to my cat-princess-tutu-wearing days of yore.
I would wear it to lady gaga, amanda palmer, and around my uni dorm. Oh and my anti-valentines day party.
who won?
i would wear it on the as part of a fairy costume where i carry a large ear that is painted in a multicultural skin tone colorfade. this will be seen in schools all over california. www.commonvision.org fruit tree tour.
i would also wear it in general, to please myself as well as all those who love me when i dress in all pink.
love
bridget barsotti
I would wear it to my funeral! What a way for people to remember the last time they saw you, and the tutu would go to heaven with me!
