Hello darlings! It’s Wednesday again, which means a fresh post on the ol’ Pink Tutu World blog! Can you believe it’s December already? Christmas is just around the corner, and the whole of Derbyshire is buzzing with festive cheer. Speaking of festive, what’s a better way to get into the holiday spirit than a fabulous ballet performance?!
This week I had the absolute pleasure of seeing The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House, and it was truly magical. The dancers were phenomenal, the music was breathtaking, and the costumes…oh my! There were glittering tiaras, fluffy snowflakes, and of course, a whole cast of colourful tutus! It reminded me just how much I love the classic, magical quality of ballet, and it put me in the most wonderful Christmas mood.
Speaking of tutus… cue the dramatic music... you’ve probably guessed it: Pink Tutu World is heading out of the solar system AGAIN! It’s the time of year for glittery stars, celestial dust, and even MORE PINK tutus. This week, I’m travelling to the planet Arcturus Prime, renowned for its extraordinary space fashion shows and breathtaking intergalactic runway performances. It’s the most chic and sophisticated place in the galaxy, and let’s be honest, a pink tutu is an absolute must!
But before I take off, I wanted to share a little piece of ballet history with you. Today marks the anniversary of the famous French ballerina, Marie Taglioni’s debut as La Sylphide! This revolutionary performance completely changed the history of dance! Before Marie’s dazzling performance in that oh so fabulous white tulle tutu, dancers were trapped in heavy, restrictive costumes. Marie freed ballet, and quite literally, set us free in the gorgeous tutu. Now, that's what I call a fashion icon!
Since we’re talking fashion, did you see that darling pink bomber jacket in the latest issue of "Space Style Magazine"?! It’s totally going to be a hit with the Arcturus Prime crowd! They adore those gorgeous galaxy-themed prints, and with its chic rose gold embellishments, this jacket is literally made for the fashion-forward extraterrestrial!
It’s time for me to start packing! I can’t leave for the spaceship without making sure all my most fabulous pink tutus, galaxy-inspired accessories, and a sprinkle of extra sparkles make it into my travel case. The fashionistas of Arcturus Prime are ready, and trust me, I'm not going to let them down! I'm on a mission to turn the whole universe pink, and let’s be honest… who wouldn't want to live in a world covered in sparkles and tutus?
Stay tuned for my next blog post, my darlings! I can't wait to tell you all about my incredible journey and share all my latest pink and sparkly adventures!

*What’s Happening on Planet Earth: *
So, I know you're all dying to know what’s been happening on our own little planet Earth while I'm out exploring the cosmos! Here's a quick catch up:
- *A Dance with Destiny: * A new, *super cute movie about the history of ballet just premiered on Earth TV! I've already ordered it for my spaceship so I can watch it while I’m floating through the cosmos. I love those nostalgic moments.
- The Ballet Ball: My hometown of Derbyshire is hosting a fundraising gala at the local opera house with the entire proceeds going to amazing new children's ballet schools! I may just have to take a whirl back to my home planet after Arcturus Prime.
- Glitter and Gold: The Royal Opera House announced their upcoming super glamorous The Nutcracker cast, and amazing new tutu designs just in time for the holiday season! You know I’m all about that.
Let’s face it, darlings, the universe is a dazzling place - but nothing quite beats a good old fashioned ballet performance back on Earth. I'll be sure to share my highlights with you all next week, with plenty of photos, of course.
Now, it’s time to prepare for my grand galactic adventure. Remember: follow my adventures on my Instagram (it’s PinkTutuWorld!), my TikTok (@PinkTutuWorld) and my Facebook (Emma - Pink Tutu World). And of course, you can read about it all on my website: www.pink-tutu.com.
See you soon!
Love and pink tutus,
