Wednesday 7th December 2016
Oh my stars, darlings! What a week it’s been! You wouldn’t believe the adventures this little pink tutu has been up to. It’s been a whirlwind of travel, twirling and tutus galore! Buckle up, buttercup, as I regale you with all the latest from Pink Tutu World.
From Derbyshire to the Stars
Well, last week I was back in my dear Derbyshire, the home of my heart and the most stunning views on Planet Earth. But let’s be honest, there's nothing like zipping through the cosmos in a sparkly spaceship. My recent performance at the Sirius Star Theatre was utterly fabulous, complete with a special light show and a live audience of little green aliens – they loved the tutus! After a delightful post-show meal of nebular nachos (a bit like space nachos, darling, only infinitely more shimmery) it was back to my trusty spaceship. Ready for a new adventure, I packed my lucky pink tulle and my favourite pair of pointe shoes – you never know when inspiration for a new ballet might strike.
Ballet Blitz in Betelgeuse
Next stop: Betelgeuse! This magnificent red supergiant star is a must-see for any celestial traveller. It’s huge, it's blazing, and it’s home to the most spectacular ballet academy in the entire galaxy – The Betelgeuse Ballet Conservatory. Oh darling, you wouldn’t believe the tutus! We’re talking shimmering galaxies of pink tulle, holographic sequins and – my absolute favourite – a dazzling golden tutu that shimmered with every twirl! I was so inspired by the sheer passion and talent at the Conservatory, I took a class myself! My new moves? Out of this world. (You can probably tell by the very proud way I’m writing this, my dears.)
Planet Earth Calling: Fashion Week Fun
But the space adventure wasn't quite over yet! The Earth was beckoning, and specifically, the London Fashion Week runway was calling my name. Honestly, the whole universe seemed to be calling for me! It’s so incredibly exciting to see the latest trends come to life. And what better way to inspire the latest in fashion than with a splash of pink tutu magic? I attended some shows, grabbed a few divine pairs of sparkly shoes (oh, darling, a little black shoe never hurts) and of course, I wore a spectacularly pink tutu that left the crowd utterly charmed. Let’s just say I turned a few heads.
Dancing into the December Days
Right now, back in my planet earth home, I’m in full preparation for the most beautiful month of the year. I'm planning an amazing ballet program at my own little theatre in Derbyshire. It's a charity event for a children's hospital. My dream? To inspire the little ones to dream big and dance even bigger. Of course, pink tutus are a must-have for every performer – just imagine a stage full of tiny ballerinas in the most delicate shades of pink! I'm working on the choreography myself, inspired by the dazzling stars of Betelgeuse and all the wonderful stories that travel through space. And don't you worry, dear readers, there'll be plenty of pink!
My Love for Tutu History
Speaking of inspiring little ones, it's time to chat about the magical world of tutu history. Oh darling, can you imagine a world without the exquisite tutu? They've transformed from the 19th century’s simple cotton skirts to today’s spectacular creations, each one a mini masterpiece of intricate embroidery, hand-crafted tulle, and oh-so-much sparkle! From the graceful classical lines of Maria Taglioni's Romantic-era tutus to the dramatic flair of today’s modern ballerina tutus, it’s a beautiful journey of design, creativity and fashion. And guess what, my loves? It's not just about ballet! The humble tutu has found its way into fashion and dance from across the globe. It's a symbol of femininity, joy, and – yes, my dears – that touch of pure pink magic.
Fashionable Finds for My Fashionista Followers
Of course, it wouldn't be a true Pink Tutu World post without a bit of fashion inspiration. And I've got just the treat for you. For all my dear fashion-loving followers, I've put together a special ‘Pink Tutu Wishlist’ on my blog – all the sparkly pieces that are taking my fancy right now. It's a mixture of fabulous tulle creations for both everyday chic and special occasions. Think shimmery tops, beautiful dresses with layers of tulle, and my absolute favourite - the pink sequin skirt for those dazzling evening looks. I've even added some cute, pink ballerina shoes for all the little dancing divas out there. There’s a little something for everyone, darling.

To the Moon and Back with a Pink Tutu
Well, darlings, that’s it for this week. As always, thank you for joining me on my intergalactic escapades and fashion adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for my next post, because you know I'll be whisking you off to another magical destination, hopefully with a tutu or two.
Until then, stay sparkling and never forget – the universe is your tutu.
All my love,
Emma
