Hello darlings! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another dazzling Pink Tutu World post! This week, I'm bringing you a double whammy of fabulousness: a cosmically fabulous journey through the stars, AND a super exciting announcement about something extra special coming up!
As you know, I absolutely love nothing more than soaring through the cosmos, leaving all those pesky Earthly worries behind (although, frankly, those "worries" usually consist of "where's the nearest pink tulle shop?" or "how will I fit this latest tutu in my spaceship suitcase?").
This week, my adventure took me to a simply stunning planet called Terra, or Earth as you humans call it! Now, I know I haven't visited Terra for quite some time - last time was way back in the 80s for a truly extravagant performance at the London Coliseum - but it feels like it was ages ago!
You wouldn't believe how much has changed since I last popped in. They even have things called 'phones' that you hold to your ear to talk to people who are not actually physically present. Fancy! My dear - the technology on Terra never ceases to amaze me. But there's still so much more they need to be doing, like wearing pink tutus of course! 💖
Speaking of pink tutus, that leads me perfectly to my announcement: on the 25th of May, I will be returning to Terra for a VERY special performance at the beautiful Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London! 👑 It's the opening night of a production that will be nothing short of spectacular: Swan Lake with a Pink Tutu World twist!
Oh yes, darling, you heard that right - this Swan Lake is unlike any you've seen before! Think dazzling costumes, a set worthy of an interstellar princess, and a choreography that will make you twirl like you've never twirled before! 😉
To make this event even more fantastically phenomenal, I'll be performing a special guest appearance! I'm even designing a brand new pink tutu just for this occasion. 🤫 It's going to be absolutely divine - a touch of whimsy, a dash of grandeur, a whole lot of pink - the perfect way to completely change up your expectations of ballet. ✨
This performance isn't just about the stunning dance moves or the fabulous tutus, darlings. It's a chance to spread my message of universal pink tutu love to everyone on Earth! And I can't wait to share it with all of you.
Now, while I love touring the universe, Terra really holds a special place in my heart. The energy on this planet is incredible, it's brimming with artistic spirit. This makes me extra excited for this performance, it feels like it’s coming home after so long away. 💕 You just know there will be fabulous shops to explore! I just can't resist the call of a good sale, can I? 👛
But it's not all about the glitter and the glamour, darlings. Terra is a planet steeped in rich history, especially when it comes to the ballet. I’m positively brimming with ideas to combine those traditional elements with a Pink Tutu World flare. ✨
Oh, darling, there's something I absolutely have to mention! While in the depths of Terra this week, I stumbled upon the most fascinating exhibit on the history of the tutu. You see, back in the very early days of the tutu, the iconic fluffy design you know and love didn’t even exist! 😮
Imagine, my dear, the tutus that preceded this - more resembling floor-length gowns, a world away from the short and swishy tutus we know and adore! I found myself mesmerized by the stories and designs I learned about.
But the story doesn’t end there - apparently, in the 1800s, the tutu as we know it was invented thanks to the dancer, Marie Taglioni, who had a wonderful idea to replace the bulky floor-length designs with the much more free versions we’ve grown to know and love. I tell you, that girl really knew how to make an impact with a bit of tulle! 🩰
Speaking of impact, darlings - you better believe I’ll be making a HUGE one on Terra on the 25th of May. It’s not every day you see a Pink Tutu World special performance in the heart of Covent Garden, is it?! Get ready for an unforgettable evening of glitz, glamour, and a whole lot of pink. You can book your tickets online at the Royal Opera House website. Don't miss out on the cosmic spectacle! 🪐
In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned for my next Planet Earth post! And remember - if you need a pink tutu to bring some sparkle and joy into your everyday life, visit the Pink Tutu World online store. 😉 I’ll see you all on Terra soon, darling! 💕
Love always, Emma xxx
