Hello Darlings! It's Wednesday, which means a brand new Pink Tutu World blog post for all of you lovely Earthlings! I know, I know, you're probably thinking, "Emma, you haven't updated us in ages! What on earth have you been up to?!" Well, I have a confession to make: I've been absolutely dancing my socks off, gallivanting around the universe, and wearing, of course, the most fabulous pink tutus!
Today's post, my dearest readers, is all about my most recent adventures, here on Planet Earth! Oh, the sights, the sounds, and the shops, darling! This place never ceases to amaze me, especially the incredible ballet performances! I'm not going to lie, Earthling fashion is rather fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' exhibition that was going on in New York. It was everything I had hoped for - bold, bright, and utterly outrageous, but also surprisingly thoughtful, as it reflected on the idea of "camp" and how it challenges conventional expectations. Absolutely fabulous! I even went tutu-shopping in Soho - you wouldn't believe some of the amazing vintage pieces I managed to snag!
But let's rewind a little, shall we? My adventures began on 16th May 2018. I zipped through the starry skies, my spaceship humming with excitement, as I journeyed to Earth's rather delightful Royal Opera House in London. A most glamorous location for a ballet, I must say! The architecture is simply breathtaking! I adore the intricate detail on every corner, every cornice, every statue.
Oh! And the performance itself? Absolutely divine! The dancers were breathtaking - such skill, such grace, such beauty. There were such amazing costumes; everything from billowing tutus, so airy and light, to those grand, heavy skirts that seem to carry a weight of their own, creating this truly incredible sense of presence and majesty. The storytelling through movement was remarkable, it made my heart soar, I even had a few happy tears, you know how I am!
I'm actually back here on Earth again for a couple of weeks, performing for a fantastic charity fundraiser in Derbyshire, right where I hail from. Now, I love ballet in every shape and size - and Derbyshire certainly knows how to throw a good dance party. There's something really magical about local productions - the community spirit is truly heartwarming. And, naturally, I’ll be showcasing my latest custom pink tutu creation!
Oh, but did I mention shopping? A trip to Earth wouldn't be complete without a shopping spree, right? Now, let me tell you, there is such a lovely blend of quirky, independent boutiques in Earth’s countryside towns, paired with sophisticated high-street stores and designer shops. And just imagine my joy when I found an entire shop dedicated to just tutus! Can you believe it? Tutu heaven! A dream come true.
Oh, I know, I'm a real romantic when it comes to clothes, especially tutus, aren’t I, dears? There's nothing quite like the feel of that silk, that satin, and that delightful swish as I dance and twirl! I can spend hours lost in the tulle-infused world, imagining what incredible dance stories I'd create within it! And I never leave a shop without finding the perfect pink tutu, just to add to my ever-growing collection, you see, because you can never have enough pink tutus, can you?
You're all probably thinking “Emma, why the focus on pink?" And my response to that? Pink is pure joy, my darling! It’s vibrant, it’s sweet, it’s playful, it’s bold. It’s confidence. And just like ballet itself, it demands a sense of grace and femininity, something to be admired. And that, my dears, is the core message behind Pink Tutu World.
I want everyone to embrace that inner joy and confidence, and wear pink tutus with a twinkle in their eye and a skip in their step! The message is simple, dance your heart out! But dance it out with style and flair!
So what does this week have in store for us, you ask? It's the perfect time for a beautiful ballet journey here on planet earth! As I'm currently performing in my hometown of Derbyshire.
*Come find me and say hello if you happen to be nearby. You never know, you might just see my latest pink tutu creation! *
