Hello my dearest Tutu Twirlers, welcome back to another glorious Wednesday on Pink-Tutu.com! I am thrilled you've joined me again for another sparkly adventure, as we continue to traverse the cosmos together.
It’s Wednesday, the 3rd of August, 2022, and right now, I’m nestled back on good old Planet Earth – feeling wonderfully refreshed after a whirlwind tour of some seriously celestial dance floors! As usual, my dear tutu and I are ready to bring you the hottest galactic gossip, the most fashionable cosmic looks, and all the news from the world of ballet, from Earth to Andromeda and beyond.
But before we launch into this week's cosmic capers, let's get a little personal.
You all know I'm Emma, a 20-something from Derbyshire, England, who is obsessed with all things ballet. As a little girl, I would twirl around in my tutu, mimicking the ballerinas in the story books and dreaming of gracing the stage myself. Now, well, my dream has expanded beyond those childhood aspirations. Now, I'm living it!
You might be wondering, "How does a ballet enthusiast, especially one so in love with tutus, end up touring the cosmos?". Well, I guess it all began when I decided to merge my passions for dance, travel, and oh, those magnificent tutus! That was when I set off on a cosmic journey, earning my way by performing breathtaking ballets on alien worlds. (My motto? "Get your pink tutu on, wherever you are, on whatever planet you inhabit!" )
And trust me, when I say breathtaking, I really mean breathtaking! Just imagine, a ballet under a triple sun, with constellations flashing across the sapphire skies and dancing aliens applauding your pirouettes. It's just incredible. And just like you here on earth, the galactic communities are all absolutely delighted when I grace them with my performances, twirling my way into their hearts – all while spreading my pink tutu love!
And oh my dear Tutu Twirlers, the fashion here is out of this world! You have to believe me, this galaxy is truly a catwalk for fashionistas! Every celestial being, whether from a volcanic world of purple skies or an icy planetoid covered in glittering crystals, seems to be draped in a kaleidoscope of colours. It's an intergalactic melting pot of styles, from shimmering robes made of nebular dust, to outfits that pulsate like stars. Of course, my personal favorite, the tutu, is a welcome sight amongst all of this, and you can bet I’m working those fabulous tulle creations across the galaxy!
Now, to get you up to speed with my travels this past week:
Firstly, I just have to gush about the Lunar Ballerina Gala I attended last Friday. Talk about glamour! Picture this: the luminous crater rim of a moon with the earth as a backdrop, an atmosphere filled with twinkling stars, and all the stars of the intergalactic ballet scene swirling their way across the lunar surface in their spectacular attire. It was the ultimate fashion showcase and a total dream for a tutu-obsessed girl like me. There were performances by cosmic dance troupes from Venus, Neptune, Mars and even little ol’ Earth. Of course, there was plenty of shopping afterwards as I always get the urge to get a few celestial souvenirs to take back home.
Then, it was on to Uranus's Ice Symphony, where they have this unbelievable frozen waterfall ballet - the dancers skated, swirled, and leapt on the ice with so much grace! It truly is a spectacle unlike any other.
Speaking of incredible spectacles, I’ve got to talk about the most spectacular performance I saw during my last visit to the Mars Ballroom, it was a stunning ballet performance under the shadow of a dormant volcano! (Oh, those majestic crimson skies were just breathtaking, I tell you.) But that’s not the most thrilling part – it’s the sheer energy, the way the music seems to resonate right to your core, and the fact that you are watching alien dancers perform something so human, something so connected to this thing we call artistry and creation. The dancers told their story without a single spoken word! It was truly beautiful.
And of course, a major perk of my travels? Getting to visit all these extraordinary, wonderful planets and worlds! I love discovering new cultures, trying different delicacies, and collecting rare gemstones! I mean, a shimmering piece of the supernova of a distant galaxy would make even the most jaded Earthly fashionista weak at the knees, wouldn’t it?
On this planet, as we all know, we’re on a mission: to make the entire galaxy fall in love with the graceful elegance of the pink tutu.
You see, here on planet earth, there’s still such a fascination with the pink tutu! Just recently I had a meeting with the head curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York about their upcoming tutu exhibition – ‘Tutu - the Evolution of Ballet Fashion’. It was such a fun chat - he loves ballet history and is absolutely obsessed with all the legendary costumes that have graced the world’s most prestigious ballet stages! (My tutu, 'The Nebula Star', was a huge hit!).
But enough about tutus, although we all know, they are the ultimate dancewear! Let’s talk about some of my Earth-based experiences this week:
This past Monday, I ventured to London to watch a breathtaking ballet performance of ‘Swan Lake’, starring the amazing Daria Klimentova – one of the most talented dancers I know, and with a stage presence to die for. Oh, my Tutu Twirlers, I love everything about watching live ballet performances: the anticipation before the curtain goes up, the stunning costumes, the magical stories and the overall immersive beauty! This is what truly keeps me inspired. I just love that beautiful energy that courses through your entire being when you watch something truly beautiful! And I get to bring this love to the whole cosmos!
My passion, after all, is spreading joy – joy and fashion – through the simple, yet elegant elegance of the pink tutu. To make the entire universe understand the profound elegance of this symbol.
Speaking of inspiration, this Wednesday, I'm attending a class at the Royal Ballet School here in London. A truly legendary institution! So, if you are interested in a ballet masterclass from this pink tutu wearing ballerino from Planet Earth - stick around for the photos, I'll post the images to the gallery on Friday, because we both know you are waiting with bated breath for it all to be revealed! And to see how I make my fabulous pink tutu work with their classic leotard.
As I prepare to step into the magical world of the Royal Ballet School, I’m feeling a huge wave of optimism about the week ahead. I’m so happy you are all part of this fantastic, pink-tutu-powered journey!
Until next week, dear friends! Be sure to subscribe to Pink-Tutu.com and keep those tutus spinning. Don’t forget, you are amazing, unique, and deserve to be seen.
And never stop believing in the power of the pink tutu to change the world!
Love and sparkles,
Emma, your favorite cosmic ballerina.
Don’t forget, this is only a glimpse into what I have going on in my little world of Pink-Tutu. Make sure you come back next week for another glimpse into this glamorous universe we are building! Keep shining!
