#PinkTutuWorld Ballet on Planet Earth on 2020-12-09

Hello, darlings! Emma here, back from another dazzling intergalactic adventure! This week's blog is a little bit different, as I'm actually writing to you from Planet Earth! 🌏

Can you believe it? I haven't set foot on my home planet in, let's see, 182 Earth days! (That's six whole galactic months!) It felt so good to be back in my childhood bedroom, sniffing my mum's lavender hand cream and listening to the birds twittering outside. It's always such a relief to swap the shimmering dust of distant nebulae for the familiar smell of freshly-baked scones and a good cup of builder's tea! ☕

You see, my little pink-loving ballerinas, life in space is fabulous, but you can't beat a little home-cooked love. 🏠❤️

Speaking of home, I landed back on Earth just in time for one of the most glorious events on the planetary calendar: the "Christmas" festivities! 🎄✨

Oh, I've missed the festive sparkle of Earth! All those twinkly lights, the aroma of cinnamon and gingerbread, and the general feel-good vibe... just heavenly! I do love Christmas! It’s such a joyous time. Plus, Christmas Day on Earth happens to be my favourite day for a grand, sweeping tutu! And the Christmas season is also the time for the annual ballet performances - even more beautiful twirling tutus to inspire my cosmic outfits!

You all know that story! I, Emma from Derbyshire, was just a little girl with a penchant for pretty things when my Nana introduced me to the wonder that is the tutu. I remember the day I got my first one – it was pale pink and had just enough tulle to fill my seven-year-old imagination with magical stories! Since then, I’ve always felt that twirling in a tutu was my way to shine, my way to dance through life!

That's when I started studying ballet, dreaming of pirouettes on nebulae and leaping across galaxies! 🌟🌌

My path, you see, isn't your average planetary ballet trajectory. It's about so much more than just ballet – it's about expressing oneself through the power of dance, the enchantment of colour, the allure of sparkly clothes. 💖🌈

It's no secret that my ultimate life goal is to inspire everyone across the universe to embrace the pink tutu! But hey, one galactic fashionista can only do so much, right? So I decided to document my journey, to spread the magic of twirling, twirling, twirling with the help of the most beautiful accessory ever invented: the pink tutu!

Now, I don't think my dear readers realize how special Christmas time is on Planet Earth for a tutu lover like myself. Christmas shows! Christmas decorations! Christmas everything! And oh, the dance performances… they’re simply heavenly.

This year, my home planet had a whole constellation of ballerinas in exquisite costumes performing festive ballets. "The Nutcracker" was absolutely exquisite, and "Sleeping Beauty" brought a fairytale twinkle to the night. ✨🩰

As you know, dear readers, my favourite kind of tutu is the full, majestic one. The type you’d only wear if you wanted to make a statement. And trust me, those ballerina stars sure did. It’s an ethereal experience to watch the dance come to life, especially with such opulent outfits. The dancers were just magical. It brought tears to my eyes to see them in action.

However, even after witnessing such grace, elegance, and talent, I can't help but wish a few of those graceful dancers were wearing the colour that truly resonates with me - PINK! It was just the perfect opportunity to embrace the full glory of a pink tutu and make it my personal Christmas tradition - not only to witness but also to be a part of! 💖

And speaking of sparkle, there was also a massive, extravagant Christmas fashion show! They call it the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” here on Earth. But let me tell you, they missed a massive opportunity – they should have called it “Victoria’s Secret Tutu Show”!

I may be biased, but wouldn’t those extravagant angel wings look even more dazzling with a touch of pink tulle? Just imagine the sparkle, the flow, the grace, the power – oh my!

It was a lovely time being home – reconnecting with old friends, sharing hot chocolate and marshmallows, and reliving all the heartwarming traditions I hold dear. ☕️🍫

Of course, no visit back to Derbyshire would be complete without a hearty brunch at the "Country Kitchen." They serve the most heavenly clotted cream scones you've ever tasted – the perfect treat after a day of sightseeing and ballet show adventures.

While I'm not completely a "Planet Earth" girl, I always do love getting my fill of all those quintessential British treats and sights: a walk in the Derbyshire countryside, an evening spent with a hot chocolate and a good book, a heart-warming home-cooked meal... oh, it's a magical life!

Now, as wonderful as Earthly life can be, my galactic wanderlust has kicked in once again. I’m so excited to head back out there, explore the cosmic nebulae, and continue my search for more incredible dancing aliens who deserve to wear a pink tutu! 💫

Stay tuned for my next adventure, coming to www.pink-tutu.com every Wednesday. And remember: always believe in the magic of the pink tutu. ✨

Until next time, my little pink-loving ballerinas,

Your cosmic ballet friend, Emma 🩰 💖

Because I like to keep you informed, here's a fun fact about ballet history:

Did you know that the first use of tutus in ballet was during the early 19th century, in the Romantic era of ballet? This is when the costumes started transitioning away from the bulky panniers worn by the female dancers. These "Romantics," they loved all things ethereal, airy, and pretty, hence the first fluffy tutus made of cotton gauze – the birth of modern ballet and my beloved tutus!

Have a wonderful week! I'm already planning my next spaceship outfit. 💫
