Hiya darlings! Welcome back to my little corner of the universe! It's Wednesday, and you know what that means… new Pink Tutu World blog post time! 💫
I hope this week has been filled with twirls and sparkles for you all. I certainly have been enjoying myself, although I’m feeling a bit jet-lagged after my latest intergalactic escapade!
Speaking of adventures… Get ready for another incredible tale, because this time I've ventured to Planet Earth! 🌍 Yes, the home of humans, giraffes, and surprisingly delicious tea. (Though the milk they use is quite… unrefined.)
Anyway, I must say, I was rather smitten with Earth! They have a unique culture here, quite unlike anywhere I've been before. They do a lot of dancing - not just ballet (which is quite brilliant in places!), but so many styles. They have ballroom, folk, contemporary… the list goes on and on! The diversity is breathtaking, truly.
And the clothing! The Earthlings are very fond of fashion, which was quite a treat for this fashion-loving girl. I saw some stunningly elaborate pieces - gowns with layers upon layers of intricate embroidery, flamboyant hats that seemed to reach for the sky… the imagination was boundless!
Of course, there were plenty of tutus to be admired too. From delicate, floaty creations for young girls just beginning their ballet journey to elaborate professional tutus shimmering with rhinestones, every tutu tells a story. They are quite charming!
And speaking of ballet, I stumbled upon a performance of "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Royal Opera House in London. Now, London is quite a place, I must tell you - so much history, so much art… a perfect fit for ballet! The performance was absolutely spectacular. The dancers were incredible, their movements so precise and graceful… I found myself captivated from beginning to end!
It wasn't just the dance, however. I have to admit, my heart belonged to the costumes - and of course, particularly to the tutus! They were glorious - grand and majestic with delicate details, rich, sparkling colours. I even snuck a peek at the costume room! (There's nothing wrong with a little behind-the-scenes peeking, right?) I discovered the most incredible, detailed patterns and the way they put them together! There was an expert level of care and detail that is truly inspiring.
One of the best parts of Earth, though, has to be their incredible shopping. Oh my, the places I visited! We have boutiques here on Pink-Tutu.com, but some of the boutiques on Earth are a sight to behold! They were filled with the most fantastic garments - I even found a pink tutu with holographic sparkles! And it only cost, say, what could we buy for the equivalent of five of my "Twirling Galaxies" perfumes!
My adventures on Earth took me all over the country - from the vibrant streets of London to the rolling hills of Derbyshire. Yes, it turns out, I was actually born on Earth, a fact that I had, until my recent adventures, entirely forgotten! Derbyshire is a pretty quaint little place - green hills, charming villages, and, what was interesting, even some dance academies!
But all adventures, alas, must come to an end, and I bid a fond farewell to my beautiful planet. There's so much to see in the galaxy, so many tutus to be worn! I have to be on the go… so for now, goodbye, Planet Earth. But I’ll be back, darling! And I’ll be sure to bring my pink tutu with me.
As for today’s date, 2009-08-19… oh my! Today was so very busy! I took a ballet lesson from a young instructor who loved the color pink as much as I do, which was very exciting! (I did a quick “Pink Tutu Power Move” in class - the instructor called it “Emma’s Swan” and laughed!) I even found time to create a new Pink Tutu tutorial for our Pink-Tutu.com YouTube channel! You can learn how to create your very own, unique "Galaxy-Tutu" using recycled fabrics and glitter. (Remember to recycle! It is good for our planet, too!) It was a fun time!
Until next time, darlings…
Love and tutus, Emma x
