Hello darlings! Itâs Wednesday again, which means itâs time for another blog post from yours truly, Emma, your favourite tutu-wearing space explorer. Today I'm hopping out of my spaceship and into my trusty pink tutu to share some terrestrial adventures with you. I know, I know, sometimes youâre probably wondering how someone who loves pink tutus as much as I do can be interested in space travel. But itâs a perfect mix of elegance and adventure â wouldnât you agree?
This week has been a whirlwind of sparkly sequins and celestial wonders! I've just been on a visit back to my beloved Planet Earth, a visit that started with an absolutely delightful, chilled out, afternoon tea in the Cotswolds. Picture it: sun dappling through the trees, quaint stone cottages, and me in a divine, powder pink tea dress with delicate floral details, just aching for a photo opportunity. There's nothing quite like a spot of afternoon tea, particularly with scones and jam. Just a tip, darlings: you must always wear something pretty! And what better for a classic English afternoon than a touch of pink!
As you know, my spacecraft, the âTwirling Galaxyâ, is my trusty sidekick, transporting me between all sorts of fantastical locations. This week, weâre visiting Planet Earthâs iconic Royal Albert Hall in London, a majestic venue I havenât been to in quite some time. I simply must be on this particular planet for an evening out to watch the magnificent ballet, âSleeping Beautyâ. This classic fairy tale comes alive under the twinkling lights of the hall with elegant dancers in tulle costumes dancing like stars! There is absolutely nothing quite like it, darlings! It makes you want to twirl in a tutu and leap into the night sky! The thrill of the dance, the emotion of the story, the beauty of the costumes ⌠the magic, darlings, the magic! Just breathtaking.
After the show, we indulged in a fantastic dinner at an incredibly fashionable Italian restaurant in the heart of London . All this with a magnificent view of Big Ben! What an incredible evening!
Speaking of the magic of a dance night⌠* On this planet, on *Thursday 14 November, 1965 , it was the 50th Anniversary of the first full moon landing! How amazing is that? Imagine being able to actually go to the moon , I just wish I was alive at the time! This would have been an epic trip and the moon's unique dance of shadow and light, the ethereal glow on the cratered surface... it would have been simply awe-inspiring.
For tonight though, Iâll be enjoying a peaceful spacewalk before heading back to my space home.
But before I head back to the stars, I want to chat to you about tutues again! It's always exciting for me to see what the fashionistas on Planet Earth are wearing, particularly at this time of the year. Now, you might be surprised to hear that the humble tutu is enjoying something of a resurgence on Earth. From vintage ballet styles to modern-day designers putting a playful twist on the traditional, the tutu has certainly become more and more visible. * It's about time, darlings! The tutu is a wonderful invention that allows everyone to twirl with absolute confidence! *
Now, let's talk history, darlings, for this blog is going to include a quick look at how tutus have developed over the last few hundred years, from their origins as something worn in the theatre for the pleasure of kings and queens all the way through the years until present day. *Can you believe, that it is only because the designers for the ballets at the time wanted a different look from men's skirts, that we got tutus at all? Amazing isnât it? What can we not achieve in life? * It's true - you have the amazing ballerinas and their incredible skills, as well as those fashion design trailblazers, to thank!
It is true that in earlier years, tutus, like most of the clothes people wore on the planet, would be made from heavy fabrics but thankfully over time the design has improved, allowing for the most delicate materials to be used and ensuring ease of movement - an absolute must for our lovely ballet dancers. So it is wonderful to see that we can appreciate beauty of this kind across our Universe. How lovely are ** tutus in delicate chiffon and tulle ? I simply love seeing these beauties as I wander across the Earth. It simply makes the place seem like a very exciting place!
Now, I wouldnât be your cosmic ballet blogger without giving you a little look at a new tutu that I've recently purchased at a fabulous little boutique in Paris, a little treat to my dancing feet. Itâs the colour of a raspberry sunrise - simply dazzling. And it has beautiful embroidery around the bottom, making it perfect for my next ballet performance at the prestigious Royal Opera House. I canât wait for my next show.
I love to dance! My passion is twirling, spinning, leaping through the air - it gives me joy! I hope this inspiration to explore different types of ballet and different types of fashion, even inspiring you to get out there and * try *the ultimate *twirl of joy. * Maybe even go and get yourselves a new tutu? Because my dears, I honestly believe that a tutu should be part of every ballerina's wardrobe and why not let everyone join in! We all deserve a little bit of twirling magic! **
To all my gorgeous fashionistas, you know I love to tell you how much I enjoy all *types of ballet. * Classical ballets like âSwan Lakeâ *or more contemporary styles like âRomeo & Julietâ or * "Giselle", ballet in any form is captivating and delightful. And there are some incredible choreographers out there who have created really original dance styles, blending classic elements with exciting modern moves, and I've got tickets for them too! I'll write *more about that in the next post, dears. Just follow the blog at www.pink-tutu.com for all your exciting tutu news. *
Until next Wednesday, keep twirling with joy and always, always wear your pink!
*Your galactic pink tutu pal, Emma. *
