#PinkTutuWorld Ballet on Planet Earth on 1998-04-22

Hello my gorgeous Tutu Troupe! It's your favourite pink-tutu-wearing space-faring ballerina, Emma, here! I'm beaming back to you from Planet Earth – yes, that dusty old rock we call home – after a whirlwind trip that’s had me twirling across continents and bouncing across galaxies.

This week’s post marks the official beginning of a brand new series, “Ballet on Planet Earth,” dedicated to exploring the beautiful and whimsical world of ballet here on my home planet!

I arrived back on Earth a couple of days ago after a fabulously fast space-flight from… oh dear, I do love my space-travel, but I’ve lost track of where I was last. (Remember the cosmic space-time distortions are REAL, and travel through the black holes REALLY does make you forget stuff!).

Today’s date is April 22nd, 1998, a very significant date in the history of fashion on Planet Earth, marking the opening of a rather daring collection by the Italian fashion designer, Miuccia Prada, where she explored a theme of “Theatrical Femininity” and showcased dramatic costumes on the runway, much to the delight of the fashionistas and press. A touch of the dramatic that certainly captured my attention.

My planet earth blog usually falls on a Wednesday, but today I'm making a little adjustment for my new series. You’re probably wondering what has brought me back to this planet at all, since I’m supposed to be busy spreading pink tutus across the cosmos. Well, it's all about the history of tutu’s darling’s, the history of ballet and fashion - which, I am a big fan of – I just LOVE me some tutus! I'm finding myself more and more intrigued by the origins of my favourite garment. It all began, so they tell me, here on Planet Earth - on Planet Earth? Who’d have thunk it! What a lovely coincidence to have my spaceship land on the same date as such a dramatic fashion display… just to cement the point! So many beautiful clothes - all in their little planet earth ways.

Speaking of clothes shopping, I recently stumbled upon the most exquisite antique shop filled to the brim with tutus of every shape and size. It's a genuine Aladdin's cave of tutus, perfect for any serious ballet collector! Imagine a double tier romantic tutus from 1916 next to fluffy feathered leg o’ mutton and bell shaped bell bottom tutus, dating from 1953! Oh darling’s! It was an utter delight. It had everything! I did indulge a little and picked up a few rare finds that’ll look fabulously good with a sprinkle of pixie dust from the stars.

Let me tell you - Planet Earth's got some seriously amazing dance moves, And even a wonderful tradition of fashion in ballet, going right back to those tutus and a bit beyond! Who wouldn’t fall in love with ballet here on planet Earth? There's the beautiful romantic ballet scene, so full of elegance and refinement - which really is rather thrilling! And of course, the London Royal Opera House is just… simply divine! It’s where ballet all began here on planet Earth. In 1922 they put on an epic dance performance of a “The Sleeping Beauty”. I couldn’t make it then – too much touring at the time, darling’s! But it does remind me of why we all love planet earth, all those traditions! It makes my space traveling soul glow! (So do you want a peek into the history of tutus here on Earth?)

Don't forget to come back next Wednesday for my next installment in “Ballet on Planet Earth!” We'll be digging deeper into the history of tutus and their role in ballet and the world of fashion, with some fabulously fascinating stories, dazzling pics, and plenty of pink-tutu-inspired inspiration to make your own twirls a whole lot more spectacular!

In the meantime, darling’s, keep dancing! Remember, the world's your stage and you can do absolutely anything with a little bit of glitter and imagination, and…of course… a fabulous pink tutu! And keep coming back to www.pink-tutu.com to follow my interstellar travels in all the pinkest possible way. Oh my - where was I going to go next… Hmmm… how about Pluto? Well I guess I better plan it… Lots of Love to you all,

Emma 💖

### Tutu Tip of the Week 🩰:

This week’s Tutu Tip of the Week is a lovely piece of advice. If you are having trouble creating that romantic perfect ballerina look when you are in a Tutu, make sure you match the tutu to your skin tone, and the shade of pink is a lighter pink. Remember the ballet world, the tutus, the style - it’s all about creating the image of the ballerina. This tip has certainly worked for me - I'm always getting stopped on the street when I'm in one of my pink tutus, and it makes me smile! What a wonderfully simple way to match your tutu to your beautiful skin. It really does help that feminine image!
