Hello, my darling tutu-loving darlings! It's Emma here, back from a whirlwind trip to Earth, a planet I must say, is simply overflowing with sartorial delights! As you all know, my heart beats for the celestial waltz of tulle, the symphony of silk, and the oh-so-feminine charm of a pink tutu. And this week, Earth delivered on all fronts, so grab a glass of champagne (or pink lemonade!) and join me on a fabulous adventure.
A Journey Through the Galaxy of Fashion!It's Wednesday, which means another post on www.pink-tutu.com! Oh, to be whisked away from my darling Derby digs in England, on board the cosmic cruiser "Tulle Dreams", to see the sights and the sights they are!
I must say, even with all the interstellar travel, the planet Earth always manages to surprise me with something new. I'm just a Derbyshire girl at heart, though. You know, a lover of vintage clothes shops, tea and scones, and yes, all things tutu! I think that's why this planet just gets me, truly.
This time around, I've been back to Earth for just 24 hours. My schedule, as you know, is so tight! I have shows in the Andromeda Galaxy to attend, workshops in Sirius to teach, and tutu design classes in Orion, not to mention a ballet-themed fashion exhibition at the edge of the cosmos, in, well, let's just say, "really far out" space! But Earth is so enchanting that, even a whirlwind trip like this can fill my pink-tutu heart to the brim with joy.
My mission this time was two-fold: First, a special gala performance at the London Coliseum to benefit a local children's charity – always a joy to grace the stage and put a smile on the faces of little ones who, just like me, have dreams dancing in their hearts! And then, you guessed it: some much-needed shopping therapy!
London, London, Where Do I Start?From the moment the spaceship "Tulle Dreams" landed on British soil, it felt like home. A magical sense of nostalgia filled my heart, like a whiff of the scent of my grandmother's lavender drawer – or perhaps that was just the floral perfume my ship's stewardess is partial to.
The sights and sounds of London, it's been said, can inspire an artist. And you know what, I agree! The vibrant streets were pulsating with energy, and my pink tutu was positively begging to be seen on this glamorous stage. I took to the capital like a graceful ballerina on the first day of pointe shoes. My day began, naturally, at the Victoria and Albert Museum - because any trip to London just isn't complete without a dose of its historical and sartorial majesty. The Costume and Textile Department just stole my breath. This isn't my first time on planet earth. I must confess, I have had so many adventures here. There's the wonderful Royal Ballet school. Who can forget their lovely vintage tutu collections in the costume section! And even more incredible, their impressive ballerina museum, it's always the perfect pit stop. Then, for a bit of haute couture indulgence, it was on to Harrods, a department store fit for royalty! Now, I'm not one for bling or extravagance, but their fashion departments, well they really do put me in a spin. A tutu needs the right adornment, even in space. I treated myself to a gorgeous silk scarf with delicate hand-painted ballet dancers – an exquisite accent for my upcoming performances on the moon. Speaking of tutus, of course, I simply HAD to pop in to The London Ballet Shop. This shop just pulls at my tutu-loving heart strings. A paradise of tutus, leotards, tights and pretty much anything a dancer's heart desires. I was in my element.
I popped into a lovely cafe after my ballet shopping for a proper British cuppa, of course, I even wore a dainty little tutu while enjoying my scones with clotted cream, just to spread a bit of the Pink Tutu world joy around.
It was such a great day and just the start of my journey back in England. But I had to fly, well, spaceship, back home, with the knowledge that a tutu is definitely the most wonderful thing for all occasions. Whether you are a ballerina on planet Earth, dancing in a grand theater or just enjoying a casual day at home, put on your tutu, my darlings. I would say embrace your inner self, but frankly you just can't go wrong when you are wearing a beautiful, delightful pink tutu. It's a good day, any day, in a tutu!
Now, for a trip to my very favourite shop in the whole universe – the "Interstellar Tutu Emporium." It is packed with thousands of colours, materials and shapes. All of my gorgeous creations get their start here. I need some inspiration for my next grand opening! So many beautiful new colours - like, cosmic pink, shimmer sapphire, lunar white...oh, so exciting!
Until next time, darlings, keep twirling!
Emma
