Hello darling, my little twinkle toes!
Welcome back to Pink Tutu World, your one-stop shop for all things frilly, fabulous, and totally pink. It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another peek into my ever-spinning, glittery world. Today I'm pouring a glass of pink lemonade (it's gotta be pink, darling!) and reliving my adventures from… wait for it… 21st November 2007, because this little pink tutu princess just can't resist a good blast from the past.
Oh, 2007, you were a dream in tutus! That year saw a truly sensational intergalactic adventure - I’m talking space opera spectacular, my loves! It started, as all good tutu journeys do, in my hometown of Derbyshire, nestled amidst the rolling green hills of England.
Now, imagine this: I’m waltzing through a quaint English market town, pink tutu twirling like a delicate feather, when whizz! A giant spaceship appears above. It’s the ‘Glitter Galaxy’, my intergalactic ride, and my travel companion, the fantastically flamboyant, totally pink, Captain Cosmos.
“Emma,” Captain Cosmos declared, beaming at me with a cosmic twinkle in his eye, "we’re off to the ‘Glitz and Glamour Gala’ in the Andromeda Galaxy! It's going to be a spectacular sight, darling.”
Of course I was ready. It wasn’t just any gala; it was the galaxy’s biggest fashion event, and rumour had it, there were rumours of an even more fabulous pink tutu waiting for its new owner. This was fate calling!
We rocketed through the cosmos with oodles of excitement, a soundtrack of glittery, girly disco hits echoing through the spaceship. It was amazing - all those twinkling stars whizzing by, and all that amazing, neon pink nebular dust... so dramatic, my dears! It really was a dream!
Fast forward to Andromeda…
As our space-shuttle docked in the galaxy's biggest port, the Glitter Galaxy docked right next to it, I stepped out with Captain Cosmos, ready for the dazzling, galactic glam. Oh, the crowds! From a fashion-forward feline on four paws in a metallic silver gown to a fuzzy, space-bear in a lime-green sequined outfit – this was my kind of planet! The excitement in the air was palpable, even without the neon pink disco lights! It was a world just waiting to be pinkified, and my trusty tutu was going to be the perfect accessory!
At the gala, every single creature looked like they were from another planet… which of course, many of them were! A towering Martian was showing off his purple tutu while an eight-legged insectoid flaunted a shimmering green one. I thought I’d be surprised at how outlandish everyone looked, but they were actually a bit tame compared to the amazingness that was about to be revealed!
This gala was no ordinary event. The ‘Glitz and Glamour Gala’ was all about the most exclusive pink tutus in the whole universe - creations made of star dust and moonlight, infused with glitter and good vibes! I was in absolute awe.
The atmosphere in the grand gala hall was simply divine - all lights, glitz, and glamour. The whole room pulsed with colour and excitement.
And then I saw it... it was beyond words! The 'Starlight Twirl', the pink tutu that had legends whispered about it. It was shimmering with millions of tiny galaxies, each reflecting its own dazzling rainbow of light, swirling with an almost life-like magic, and crafted from pure stardust. A true heavenly work of art! I've never seen anything like it! I gasped in wonder, feeling a pang of jealousy and a whole lot of wonder. It was so absolutely utterly beautiful that it could only have come from the stars! I needed it. No, I wanted it!
We've all got dreams, haven't we? Sometimes, they're big. And sometimes, they come true. You see, after my show-stopping, triple pirouette finale during my ballet performance in the heart of the galactic city - which was pretty fantastic if I may say so myself - I got to win the 'Starlight Twirl' in a prize draw. It was literally the best night of my life, darlings.
I waltzed out of that galaxy on a cloud of stardust with my prize in tow - wearing that gorgeous starlight tutu, it had been worth every twinkle!
And that, my dearest friends, is my tale of the galactic 'Glitz and Glamour Gala'.
Now let’s talk Earth, shall we? It’s 21st November 2007, a date for the history books on Planet Earth - and it’s not just because I met Captain Cosmos! It's also a special day for me as I got the chance to experience my absolute favorite ballerina - The legendary Madame Aurora.
Remember those tutus that make history? Madame Aurora, was on tour with her troupe – "Aurora’s Elegance” - here in good old England. The troupe is made up of incredible ballerinas from all over the galaxy (well, just our solar system but still - galactic, darling! - ). But Madame Aurora… oh Madame Aurora! A vision in pink, of course! The graceful movements of her limbs as she glided across the stage with effortless beauty… absolute magic!
This divine ballet troupe danced in our beautiful Derbyshire Town Hall. You just had to be there to feel the excitement and magic.
After the performance, I actually met her, Madame Aurora herself! It’s not every day a Derbyshire girl gets to talk tutus with a real life ballet legend!
And wouldn’t you know it, the best bit? Madame Aurora shared my love for the color pink. “The tutu has a powerful message to convey”, she explained with a sweet smile, her pink sparkly eyeshadow twinkling as she did. "And pink is just so powerful."
Can I just tell you - as if Madame Aurora needed to tell me that - I just know she’s secretly wearing a pink tutu under her leotard!
That night was filled with all things pink: ballet, sparkles, laughter… it really was a perfect day for a pink tutu loving ballerina.
As you all know, my little tutu dreamers, I spend most of my time travelling the universe spreading the magic of the pink tutu and the beauty of ballet, one sparkly pirouette at a time. I travel between worlds - finding new tutus, finding new ballet classes and shows - but one thing I’ve always treasured about my hometown on Planet Earth is the charm of the theatre. I love the smell of fresh popcorn and old wood, the hush as the lights dim, and the roar of the crowd at the end of a good show!
Today’s adventures took me on a journey of remembrance: reminding me that our dreams, big or small, are worth chasing. Remember, darling, whether you're dancing on a stage in London or exploring a galaxy in a spaceship, pink tutus and ballerina dreams always go together.

Until then, keep dancing and keep your head held high!
Love,
Emma
