Hello my darling Tutu Angels! It's Emma here, bringing you another dose of pink, twirls and intergalactic adventures! ๐ฉฐ๐๐
I'm so excited to be back on Planet Earth for another week - I can't believe it's been a whole seven days since my last post! Time just flies by when you're busy gallivanting across the cosmos in a fabulous pink tutu, let me tell you.
From Nebulae to New York
This week's adventure started on the vibrant, star-dusted nebula of NGC 7023, known as the Iris Nebula for its colourful swirls of gas and dust. Honestly, it was an absolute dream to perform my signature 'Cosmic Twirl' surrounded by such a dazzling backdrop. The colours were like nothing I'd ever seen, the celestial dust shimmering and catching the light like a million tiny diamonds. My pink tutu practically glowed against it!
Next stop was the ever-buzzing, eternally trendy city of New York - or 'The Big Apple' as the Earthlings call it! I admit, my landing was a little dramatic - my spaceship got a bit lost in the urban canyons and landed, rather spectacularly, right on top of a double-decker bus! But hey, who says ballerinas can't pull off a grand entrance?
I was in New York for one purpose and one purpose only: SHOPPING! The fashion scene there is so vibrant - you simply must try the local 'Manhattan Cupcake' cupcake, I've never tasted anything so delicious - not even in the Andromeda Galaxy! I, of course, had to visit some of the most legendary ballet shoe boutiques in the city - let me tell you, they know their tutu there! You can even get your ballet shoes fitted by professional ballet masters and mistresses - so glamorous!
My Latest Find: Vintage Tutues on Earth
Did you know that the history of the tutu is far more fascinating than most people think? Earth, it turns out, has an absolute treasure trove of vintage tutus - some even date back to the 1800s! It's such a joy for me to hunt them down, piece together their history and find new ways to wear them in my intergalactic travels. My new favourite is a beautifully preserved romantic tutu from the Romantic ballet period, all flowing lace and chiffon - absolute perfection!
Planet Earth Ballet Show Extravaganza
And the highlight of this trip, my Tutu Angels, has been seeing the world-famous Ballet du Capitole Toulouse, one of the oldest ballet companies in the world, here on Planet Earth! The show was set in a beautifully ornate theatre, adorned with gold leaf and swirling, elaborate details. The performance was stunning - filled with emotion, artistry, and a raw power that took my breath away. I even managed to meet the prima ballerina after the show - she was such a sweetheart, and even let me try on her ballet shoes! Oh, and the backstage area? Honestly, it was pure magic! Imagine a wonderland filled with costume changes, glittering makeup, and a flurry of movement - simply magical!
My Ultimate Goal: A Pink Tutu on Every Planet!
For this Earthling girl, who has travelled beyond the edges of the universe, one thing remains certain: My ultimate mission is to spread the joy, the magic, and the sheer delight of pink tutus across the cosmos!
Remember, dear Tutu Angels, never underestimate the power of a pink tutu! They are not just clothes; they are expressions of individuality, creativity, and, of course, utter loveliness!
Until next week, keep twirling and keep shining!
Love, Emma

Did you know?: Today, June 21st, is a very special day here on Earth. It marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! It's a time for celebrations, for picnics, and, most importantly, for indulging in that sunshine glow! I might even do a celebratory ballet performance in the park later this afternoon, so make sure to check my Instagram for live updates!
Emma's Top Tips for a Successful Tutu Day:
- Start your day with a pink smoothie: Itโs the best way to power up those twirls! My go-to is a strawberry-and-raspberry concoction with a hint of rosewater!
- Embrace your inner diva: Wear a pink tutu even if youโre just going to the local shop, after all, why not inject some pink joy into the world, right?
- Strike a pose! Grab your camera and have some fun snapping pictures. Donโt forget to use the hashtag #PinkTutuWorld to show me what youโve been up to.
I hope this post has inspired you all! Remember, anything is possible if you set your mind to it. You never know what exciting adventure you'll have next! Until next week, my dear Tutu Angels, happy twirling! ๐
