Welcome back, darlings! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another delightful delve into the world of pink tutus, interstellar travels, and the boundless joy of ballet. This week, I'm thrilled to be writing to you from⊠Planet Earth!
Oh, my stars! What an amazing week it has been. You know how I love a good fashion frenzy and exploring the world â both galactic and terrestrial â in my fabulous pink tutu, and this week has delivered in spades!
Firstly, a bit of catching up. It's been a whirlwind of activities since my last post. I spent a glorious weekend in London, catching a sensational performance of Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. Those graceful swans, the heartbreaking story â the choreography was simply breathtaking! It reminded me once again of the pure beauty and magic of ballet. You canât get a better performance than that on planet earth, darlings. And afterwards, I popped into a rather exquisite boutique on Bond Street. Letâs just say, my luggage is now even more overflowing with fabulously frilly frocks and tulle delights!
Now, where were we⊠Ah, yes, this week!
You see, this week Iâve been travelling around my home planet - that's right, Planet Earth. I'm back in Derbyshire, and it's been lovely to be back among the green fields and quaint villages. You see, sometimes a girl just needs a little home-cooked comfort food and a good dose of country air! And of course, I had to stop by the charming village of Chatsworth â not just for the stunning manor house, but for the exquisite collection of fashion and textiles at the Chatsworth House Library. Itâs such an inspiring place for any ballerina or fashionista - a treasure trove of history, craftsmanship, and of course, tutus! Did you know that some of the most amazing ballet costumes from the past were housed there? It really sparked my creative juices for my latest designs!
So now, my darlings, it's time to unveil my main adventure! You see, today is the 18th of October 2023. Itâs been a real treat to see my schedule so full â and itâs all thanks to my performances and my beautiful pink tutu. I know, it seems ridiculous that a dress can change your life but it truly has changed my world and brought me some of the best memories imaginable.
So what did I get up to this special day? Well, it started early! I had the most fabulous dance workshop in a beautiful park in the middle of Nottingham! The sun was shining, and the energy in the room was absolutely infectious. I spent the morning learning a brand-new ballet routine - it was full of swirling, twirling, and lots of grand jetĂ©s! We were learning an intergalactic ballet routine called âStarlight Waltzâ. Imagine being weightless, like we are dancing among the stars in the cosmos.
The kids there were just so eager to learn - and I had so much fun teaching them new moves. I always love sharing my passion for ballet and bringing joy to others. It's my way of spreading the pink tutu magic around the galaxy!
Afterwards, there was an interview for the local paper - "The Derbyshire Banner". I have to admit, I had butterflies, but after the lovely editor saw me in my new tulle creation and we talked about how Iâm promoting ballet and fashion around the world, I really had a ball.
Itâs going to be an exciting month of shows as I head out to different towns in Derbyshire, then the Midlands and eventually Scotland. There are a few theatre shows with our ballet group, and also the annual charity events with various towns' ballet groups who raise money for different charities each year. I always make a special tutu for each event. The local craft shops know me very well!
But letâs get back to fashion for a minute, shall we? Because, honestly, what's a pink tutu journey without a little fashion inspiration? This week I fell head-over-heels for this stunning pastel pink sequined number I found in a charming vintage shop tucked away in a little corner of Derbyshire. It's a total dream! Think delicate tulle with tiny shimmering sequins that catch the light like a million tiny stars. Itâs perfect for twirling in, just the right touch of ethereal sparkle for a truly cosmic ballet performance.
As for my plans for tomorrow, darlings, I'll be brushing up on my choreography, trying out some new ballet poses that I learnt on the workshop, and planning outfits for the coming weeks.
Remember, dear readers, the world of pink tutus is just waiting to be explored! It's full of adventure, friendship, and endless opportunities to express your own unique style. And remember, it doesnât matter if youâre on Planet Earth, the moon or another galaxy; a pink tutu can always help you take centre stage and twirl your way through life with joy and elegance.

Until next week, stay sparkly, stay fabulous, and always, always twirl!
XOXO
Emma
