Hello my darling tutus! š
Welcome back to Pink Tutu World! This week, Iām beaming back to you from Planet Earth, where the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the tutus are twirling! I know itās been a while since I last blogged from Earth, I've been a bit busy traversing the cosmos in my sparkly spaceship. But I'm back, and I have so much to tell you.
A Derbyshire Delight:
It feels lovely to be back in my home county of Derbyshire. The green rolling hills, the quaint villages, and the charming cobblestone streets just call out for a tutu walk. And let's not forget the iconic Peak District National Park, perfect for a ballerina like me. Did you know the Peak District has incredible connections to dance history? There's evidence of people dancing in this area since Roman times. That's thousands of years of pirouettes and plies in these stunning landscapes!
An Evening at the Ballet:
I'm still reeling from an incredible performance I witnessed last night ā āSwan Lakeā at the Royal Opera House! Now, āSwan Lakeā is, of course, a ballet classic. Thereās so much drama, tragedy, and of course, those majestic tutus! š¦¢ This production was truly special. The dancers were divine, their every movement flowing with such grace and strength. The costumes were breathtaking - shimmering, ethereal, and utterly magnificent.
It really makes me want to go to ballet class and hone my own skills! It's been a bit since I was able to, all those interstellar journeys, you know? Itās amazing how being away makes you appreciate the beauty of Earth. And the simplicity of a good old-fashioned barre workout. You canāt beat the satisfaction of a beautiful extension or a spot-on jetĆ©.
Shopping Extravaganza:
Oh my gosh! My trip back to Earth wasn't complete without a shopping spree in London. As I stepped out of my spaceship, I knew exactly where I was headed: The glorious boutiques and department stores of Bond Street! The sights, the sounds, and the scentsā¦ I swear I could practically hear the sequins and tulle singing my name.
You canāt possibly imagine the amount of incredible, glittery fashion I saw! My dear readers, this was pink paradise. There were entire displays of hot pink tulle gowns, neon pink puff sleeves, sparkling pink handbags - it was a pink extravaganza for the senses! I almost lost all sense of time and dimension there! š
Oh, and the most amazing thing? Thereās now an entire department devoted to dance-wear on Oxford Street! This wasn't just your run-of-the-mill tights and leotards. They have tutus in every shape and size, color, and fabric you can imagine! Pink, obviously, took center stage, but they also had some incredible colours ā turquoise, lilac, even a dazzling fuchsia! It's all I could do to stop myself from buying every single tutu. It took real willpower! But trust me, you wouldnāt have believed the array of pink perfection on offer.
Intergalactic Pink:
You know I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't mention my passion: spreading the joy of pink tutus across the universe. My heart soars when I think about the possibility of tutus dancing on the streets of Mars, twirling around Saturn's rings, even waltzing in the middle of the sunās corona. It might take some cosmic adjusting ā maybe tutus made of starlight? Weāll have to explore those options.
I have to say though, after traveling to countless galaxies, seeing those Earth-bound children twirling in their brightly-colored tutus fills me with so much joy. It really reminded me of the innocence, creativity and beauty of childhood ā all the wonderful things that inspired my whole mission in the first place! š
Tutus and Tech:
Speaking of inspirationā¦ itās so exciting that tutus are embracing the latest tech these days! From virtual ballet classes to holographic tutus on virtual stages, the future of tutus is looking dazzlingly techy. Imagine watching a virtual ballet from anywhere in the universe ā you could see the twirls and the steps from a new perspective. I have a feeling thereās a new kind of ballerina on the horizonā¦ a holographic one? Who knows?
The Perfect Ending
I'm feeling so inspired. The world's a brighter place when there's a little pink tutu dancing around. And I hope I'm making a tiny difference by spreading a little tutus, joy, and positive vibes along the way.
Letās spread the tutu love, darlings! Keep dancing! šāØ
As always, send me your tutu thoughts, wishes and adventures, especially from planet Earth!
Yours in Pink, Emma š

Extra Pink Extras:
Here are some fabulous bits of information from Planet Earth for you to enjoy!
On the 26th of June 2024, there's a phenomenal fashion exhibition happening at the Victoria & Albert Museum called "Fashioning the Future." I can't wait to see how designers are pushing the boundaries of creativity and incorporating tech and sustainable practices. And who knows? Maybe thereāll even be some sparkly pink tutus involved. š¤«
To celebrate the day, hereās a wonderful tutus recipe! Itās a Strawberry & Raspberry āTutuā Cake: https://www.pink-tutu.com/strawberry-and-raspberry-tutu-cake
Want to brush up on your tutus knowledge? Take a trip to The Royal Ballet School, just a short trip from the Derbyshire Peak District. Their museum is full of fascinating artifacts, costumes, and photos celebrating the history of ballet.
