Hello my gorgeous twirling darlings!
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means… a brand new Pink Tutu World blog post! 💖
Today, I’m absolutely bursting with excitement because, well, I’m still buzzing from my recent trip to Planet Earth!
Yep, you read that right. Planet Earth, the planet that spawned my love of ballet, tutus, and all things sparkly! This was my third time back on Earth after a super fun trip to Mars, a super fashionable trip to Jupiter, and some fantastic stargazing in Venus.
You see, Earth is truly the most exciting place for a pink tutu-wearing ballerina! The ballet history there is incredible, the fashion scene is to die for, and let’s be honest, who doesn't love a good old shopping spree in a glittery boutique!
But before I dive into the glittering details of my Earth trip, a little recap of what you’ve missed this week on Pink Tutu World:
- Tuesday: I gave my spaceship, The Twirling Comet, a sparkly pink paint job. (Don’t tell Captain Cosmic, but he absolutely loves the colour pink.)
- Monday: A super quick trip to a nearby asteroid for some serious meteor-hunting for my latest "cosmic-inspired tutu" design.
- Sunday: Another stunningly successful ballet performance in a galaxy far, far away, with an incredible standing ovation! (Seriously, these intergalactic audiences are the best!)
Now, back to my Earth adventure!
My journey to Earth was as magical as ever. Imagine swirling through the Milky Way, with the stars twinkling around you as your own personal light show – absolutely divine. And on my arrival, the first thing I did was what any good ballerina would: visit a ballet studio.
Planet Earth is known for its world-class ballet studios, with the Royal Ballet in London being the crème de la crème. The elegance, the artistry, the precision, the dedication - oh, my heart just swooned!
You wouldn’t believe how many stunning pink tutus I found there! I even snapped a photo of one with intricate embroidery of the Milky Way on its skirt - so heavenly! (It’s my new profile pic on all my social media!)
Speaking of tutus, 11 December on Planet Earth had a rather significant historical ballet moment: the day “Giselle” debuted in Vienna. * Now, that’s a ballet that truly inspires me! Giselle, the ethereal, heartbroken ballerina… talk about a dramatic performance. I saw it a few years ago in Vienna myself. *It brought tears to my eyes, I swear!
Oh, and the fashion on Planet Earth! It was out of this world! (Literally!). From the iconic street style in London, to the glitz and glamour of New York, the outfits I saw on my recent Earth adventure are the inspiration for my next tutu design: a sequined black number with shimmering star details… very interstellar.
But honestly, the best part of Earth was re-connecting with its wonderful, passionate ballet community! They welcomed me with open arms and open wallets. Speaking of which, remember how I finance all these travels with my ballet performances? You can tell my star's shining a little brighter, my dears, because every time I visit Earth, my bank account glows!
It's absolutely heartwarming to share my love of ballet and twirling with them, and in turn, learn something new every time. It’s such a beautiful reminder that the love for ballet and fashion crosses all boundaries - whether it’s in our little corner of the Milky Way, or a bustling metropolis on a different planet, our shared passion shines bright!
Now, how are you feeling after reading this blog? Ready to grab your pink tutu, put on your dancing shoes, and twirl the night away?
You go, girl! 💖

Behind The Blog:
Okay, my dear dears, I just know you're wondering, what exactly did I see on 11 December 2019 on Planet Earth? You’re absolutely right, that is my date of birth. 🤫🤫
A girl has her secrets! 💖
And here's my little top secret hint: * That little ballerina was having the best birthday ever, because I was actually doing a world tour!
Oh yes, my Twirling Comet was speeding around the Milky Way giving ballet shows to all the galaxies! And you know what, it just goes to show you your dreams can be as big and bold as you want them to be. And believe me, you can turn your passion into your profession – even if that profession is dancing in pink tutus on spaceship journeys across the cosmos.
Now, tell me all about what YOU did on your 11th December! I just love hearing all about you amazing, brilliant, bold twirlers! 💖💖
A Bit More About Your Intergalactic Blogger:
Alright, now let's talk about this week's Pink Tutu World blog post. What did you think? Let me know! I am a HUGE fan of hearing from all of you gorgeous twirling darlings.
It's a bit cheeky and camp - very much in the style of those amazing 80s British comediennes who were a major inspiration in my growing up (it's not a big surprise, my hometown Derbyshire is full of cheeky Brits who know how to make fun of anything!).
However, the most important part is sharing my passion for ballet, fashion, and spreading glitter (both metaphorically and literally)! It's the main driving force behind Pink Tutu World.
Now, a little bit about yours truly:
*I started out writing this blog while I was taking a gap year. * Yeah, that was a very pink gap year. It wasn't long after the graduation from the Dance Conservatory in Derbyshire. My mum was totally worried that I’d never grow up - and she still thinks I'm going to be *dancing through my entire life! * 😜😜
- And as a huge bonus, my dad gave me the Twirling Comet for graduation. I love being a real space explorer now! (It did take me a long time to get the colour right.)
My parents are huge fans of ballet. As a baby I'd been taken to the Royal Ballet every chance they got, so I basically learned to twirl before I could even talk.
And, of course, * *the tutus have a very important history in our family! My granny, bless her soul, started making her own for her dance performances. I mean, in a tiny, dusty little village in Derbyshire back in the 60s - pretty impressive, right? (Of course she wanted to give all her grandkids the tutu life - that's the way all grannies should be, I reckon!)
But the truth is, my big dream has always been to inspire everyone in the galaxy to wear pink tutus. * (Can you imagine all that beautiful colour floating around out there?) *Well, if not pink tutus, at least a sprinkle of pink. Because honestly, what would life be without a little glitter and sparkle?
And, oh, the Pink Tutu World blog... It started as just something I was doing to share my travel adventures! And then… well, as they say, the rest is history! 💖💖
But honestly, this isn’t a “one-woman show” (although it does have a pretty glamorous lead)!
- My blog is also for you! You gorgeous, bold, bright twirlers.
So tell me what you love about the pink tutu lifestyle. What are your favorite ballet traditions?
I can’t wait to hear about your ballet adventures and twirly passions - I'm a total girly girl for sure, but I also love the idea of this whole universe full of sparkly dancers. Let's fill up the galaxies with pink!
So come on, darlings, let's make our world more glamorous, sparkly, and pink, one twirl at a time! 💖💖
Always remember - the only limit is the limit you set for yourself! So dance, twirl, and never stop sparkling!
Lots of love, Emma
