Helloooo my darling dears! It’s your favourite pink-loving ballerina, Emma, back with another thrilling update from the shimmering, sparkling world of Pink Tutu World! Buckle up your ballet shoes, because today’s adventure is going to be totally fabulous, darling!
As you know, I've always been an advocate for embracing the magic and beauty of tutus, especially in a glorious shade of pink. Well, this week has been a dream come true because, drumroll please, I travelled intergalactically to our little planet called Earth! Yep, you read that right - it's Planet Earth and I had an absolute blast discovering what it’s like to be a tutu-loving ballerina down on the actual surface of a planet.
I’m getting a bit teary just thinking about it - Earth is just divine, with its rolling green hills, sapphire seas and a blindingly gorgeous array of pink flowers I’d never seen before. I'm totally sure it’s just another dimension of our multi-verse of sparkling magic that we can only dream of experiencing!
So what does a Pink Tutu World blogger do when they hit up Earth? You guessed it, honey! Shopping, sightseeing, and of course, ballet! What else?!
Firstly, I must tell you about this delightful vintage clothing boutique I found in a little cobblestone lane in a town called Derby, you know, my little old home town? The place was stuffed to the rafters with vintage loveliness, especially fabulous silk scarves, fluffy furs, and - oh my darling - an entire wall covered in shimmering pink chiffon and tulle! I scooped up a totally stunning sequined dress that is screaming for a showstopping ballerina dance, and some amazing, fluffy tulle that I already know will look divine as a skirt! I'm so excited to be creating a whole new stage costume, and the best thing about it, honey? It was all picked out by me on Planet Earth - I couldn't believe it was even possible to find something like that here.
But I'm not going to let the Earthlings be completely surprised by my amazing wardrobe just yet. They deserve to see me gracefully twirling across the stage, and let's be honest, the ballet is always a highlight of any visit. So, I checked the listings, honey, and oh my god - two different shows on the same night in London? This is a blessing from the tutu gods! I can't tell you how exciting it was - two shows back-to-back, so I wouldn't even have to miss out on anything!
I booked myself a couple of VIP tickets (a Pink Tutu World ballerina always travels in style!) for both the Royal Ballet and a smaller company, a little group called the English National Ballet. They both promised something utterly unique. I was going to be so spoilt - ballet heaven, in my favourite pink dress - it just couldn't get any better.
You know me - I always research before I go, especially when it comes to ballet. Now I know, I know - you are probably rolling your eyes about my endless enthusiasm, but there is nothing that brings me more joy than knowing I'm as informed as can be about these magical forms of dancing, and let me tell you, the stories these two shows were telling - pure fantasy! I found myself captivated and amazed by the creativity and passion that these artists brought to life, dancing stories that ranged from the classics like Swan Lake to contemporary narratives I never even thought could exist. The way those performers danced, and how those tutus flowed? Divine! And the costumes? Pure brilliance! There was an ethereal gown of blue silk and silver that stopped me in my tracks, and even more gorgeous tutus that sent me soaring through the stars! I simply can't imagine living without that level of expression!
Now I know what you're thinking... how does a pink-loving ballerina manage to travel through the stars with no cost at all? Don't worry - my love of the tutu isn't a hobby, darling! My life is about sharing the passion, spreading the joy of ballet and oh darling... making tutus the most sought after garment in the universe. It’s all part of my 'Make Everyone in the Universe Wear Pink Tutu' world tour!
To make all my travel dreams come true, I bring a whole new level of energy to the planet. Every once in a while I grace a stage somewhere beautiful, like London, and get a chance to let those starlit lights show how amazing my work can be. But I’m so happy I don't have to rely on just a simple human gig, because it’s so much more than that, isn’t it? My performances are intergalactic! I use every ounce of passion and enthusiasm I can muster, and make sure that every time I step on stage, I leave the audience with more than a mere memory. I bring them pure enchantment, and hopefully a whole lot of 'Make Everyone in the Universe Wear Pink Tutu' motivation. And of course, every cent of earnings helps me journey through space and inspire others on their own ballerina journeys.
And there you have it! The pinkest ballet adventures ever, on our own Planet Earth! As always, I hope you enjoyed this whirlwind journey into the fab world of ballet and the beauty of a sparkly pink tutu, my lovelies!
Oh and if you haven't already, make sure to pop over to my site - www.pink-tutu.com to read more of my blog and stay connected with Pink Tutu World. Let’s all make a promise together - this week - to be the best, most sparkling, pinkest ballerinas in the world. After all, my dearest, the power of the tutu knows no bounds.
Until next time, darling. I love you all.

And if you’re a little curious about Earth, honey, here's a little snippet about the world I discovered. Remember the 28th July I told you about? Well, apparently that day on Earth was all about World Hepatitis Day! And if you didn't know, it’s really important for us to do our best to fight for all humans (even those on a planet without tutu obsession, sigh) to get checked and help others find the care they need. So I decided I’d donate a little bit from my show earnings to help with that. Isn’t it amazing how the universe brings you things - one day I'm sharing my sparkly pinkness across the cosmos and the next, I'm helping those who need it. Talk about the magic of tutus!
See? This week, on Planet Earth, I managed to connect with a vibrant world with even more pink to offer, more stories to share and more love than anyone could ever imagine! But no matter where I travel or what I do, you can be sure that my tutu is ready to dance, and my heart is ready to share my love of pink with everyone who dares to twirl!
