Talk about Tutus #tutusrock

March 28, 2014 After reading some of the post and the article in Self Magazine, I have decided to put my two cents in.  Nothing earth-shattering, but I LOVE seeing the different tutus at the runs that I participate in.  What’s wrong with being feminine and showing your own style and personality?  I applaud Monika and LOVED her tutu!  You …
