THE PINK TUTU ATTITUDE…


I went to several pre-schools to take pictures of the cute little kiddos yesterday and today I’ll do another… they use the candid shots in brochures,etc..my way of giving back, (I don’t charge them)…during my visits to different classes yesterday , I encountered TWO little girls wearing pink tutu’s….I know one little girl was Olivia…never got introduced to the second one….but Olivia was definitely a free spirit..not listening to the teacher, dancing all over. The second little tutu girl was having THE BEST TIME EVER trying to eat the bubbles that her teacher was blowing for the class.

For those of you who have never read my little stories about “following the dream”..they’re somewhere here on the blog…in those stories my main character wears a pink tutu…well lo and behold when I went to Florida in the fall I found and bought, a pink tutu..(child-size)…I have worn it on my head and it seems to inspire all sorts of creativity….so it is now hanging in a place of honor in my studio….reminding me to take a break and let the mind waltz around  in it’s pink tutu from time to time.

Watching those little girls yesterday absolutely confirmed what I already knew….pink tutu girls are different….Instead of joining a “red hat society” when I get older, I’m going to join the “pink tutu society”…provided that there is one…….I’m not sure if I’ll wear my tutu into restaurants like the ladies in the red hats do……..maybe if I have a convention in New Orleans… THEN we could wear our pink tutus into a restaurant…or go into one of those cool famous bars on Bourbon street and order a “Hurricane”.. I can only assume that wearing a pink tutu and drinking a Hurricane would lead to trouble…so just to be safe, I’ll make sure to tie “Bob” the horse up to the hitching post outside the bar…he’ll know how to get me home.

Now I’m wondering where I intended to go with this post……..Oh well….

  3. Buddhists encourage to have a child’s mind, meaning see things as if for the first time. I like the idea of a Pink Tutu Society. I’m ready to join now…while I’ve still got the legs to pull it off! ;)

  4. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love a pink tutu? Especially when it’s on a little girl? They just have such a freedom about them. I suppose if you wear a pink tutu on your head you have an air of freedom about you about you, too. Here’s to the pink tutu!

    • YAY for the pink tutu!!

  5. A pink tutu can inspire many regardless of age.

  6. Non-conformists. That is what they are. and I hope those girls never lose their enjoyment of life (because the adults will surely try to help them lose it).

    • I agree…hopefully it keeps simmering deep down inside!

  7. See? Just THINKING about that pink tutu on your head causes your creative brain to wander in all sorts of directions – like Bourbon Street…..I do believe that “The Pink Tutu Attitude” could be shortened to “Pinktututude” don’t you???

  9. What a perfectly directed post. Oh, it just evolved on its own? Actually those are usually the best! In fact it was dancing with abandonemt – perfectly pink tutu

    • It just evolved…my mind works that way….totally undisciplined most of the time……Thank you!

  10. :lol: I can just imagine you on a horse, slightly sozzled, and wearing a pink tutu. I would only hope that I had my camera handy. :D

  11. Did I mention that I’m from New Orleans, and I happen to know a couple of bar owners on Bourbon? (Believe it or not, I worked in a bar on Bourbon myself….years ago!) As for hurricanes, I haven’t had one since the night I…oh, wait, never mind about that. Anyway, I’m up for the Pink Tutu Club, and could hook you up in the French Quarter, that’s providing you let geeks into the club…. ;)

  12. I think, it’s Mardi-gla (spell ?) country isn’t it ?
    So, why not pink Tutu = JUST DO IT :-D

    January 10, 2013 at 12:09 am

    • You are very close…it’s Mardi Gras :) ….you’re right, that would be the time to do it!!

      January 10, 2013 at 4:10 pm

  13. Love it – living a pink tutu kinda life:) Some people have the glass slippers or ruby slippers. Some people believe in princesses, fairies and pixies. Made me smile:)

  14. I will be torn which to join. I love hats but I am a huge fan of the pink tutu as well.

    January 9, 2013 at 11:04 pm

    • You could do BOTH…….Some of us are just more complex than others….you must honor all facets of your personality!

      January 9, 2013 at 11:06 pm

  15. What a great post!! I think it’s awesome that you do free photography sessions at the pre-schools, and I really, really want to join your pink tutu club. Pretty please :) . Just think of all the trouble that we could get into, I mean all the fun that we could have!! I mean you’ve thought of everything, even having Bob available to take us home. You’re my idol!!! :)

    January 9, 2013 at 10:55 pm

    • HAHAHAHAHA! You are my first honorary member!!!
      OOooooooohhhhh…we could have so much fun…..ooooohhhh…..Oooooohhh, I’m you IDOL !! :) :)

      • Hey, I have another idea. In the town where I work there is a clothing store run by the Red Hat Society, so maybe we could open a Pink Tutu store. LOL!!!!!

        January 9, 2013 at 11:07 pm

        • Ooooooooohhhh!!! I know just how we should decorate it…there’s a scene from one of my favorite movies “mixed nuts” with Steve Martin……one of the characters owns this really cool vintage clothing store and WOW do I love the crazy way it was decorated…pink and red fabrics draped all over and plenty of bling! Chandeliers (did I spell that wrong?)..prisms….crystals…AWESOME!!!!

          January 9, 2013 at 11:10 pm

  16. Oh MY GOSH !! That is so cool!! Thank you:)
