"Hello darling!" It's me, Emma, back from another interstellar jaunt, and oh my stars, I've got the most fabulous adventures to tell you! Let's pour ourselves a cup of raspberry tea and settle in for a right girly giggle.
This week I'm back on ol' Mother Earth after a cosmic ballet spree. I'm still positively buzzing from a smashing performance by the Moonbeam Ballet Troupe, a troupe who've totally stolen my heart - their pink tutus were to die for, all sprinkled with real stardust, you know.
As usual, my suitcase was jam-packed with a hundred pink tutus, ready for an Earthly adventure. You see, I always like to take my favourite bits of Earthly fashion to other planets, and you just can't have enough pink tutus in this universe! They always look fabulously different under alien lighting, too!
Anyway, landing on good old Earth after all that interstellar travel makes you realise the importance of those little earthly luxuries – like freshly baked Victoria sponge and the gentle hum of a teapot. The first thing I do when I get home is to put on a nice hot bath, you know, to soothe away all that jet lag (or rather space-lag, I suppose!) and then I slip on a fluffy dressing gown, pop my feet up with a nice hot chocolate and settle down to my weekly ritual: blogging to YOU, my fabulous friends.
Speaking of girly rituals, my big week in the life of a pink-tutu-wearing space traveller started at the lovely "Ballet and Bits" studio down the road. I simply adore Ballet and Bits; it's run by Miss Gladys, a true icon of British ballet, with her silver hair and ruby red lips – and every Wednesday, she hosts this delightful "Tutu Tuesday" workshop, where she teaches us all about the history of tutus. This week was spectacular - it was all about 19th century romanticism, with fluffy, floating tutus, perfect for twirling under chandeliers! Of course, we finished with a delicious spot of afternoon tea, served in true vintage teacups, which, let me tell you, went down a treat!
From the studio, it was straight down to the theatre in Matlock for "An Evening of Ballet." I was simply captivated by a delightful young ballet dancer called Holly. She has such natural talent – she practically soared across the stage! I'm sure we're going to hear so much more about Holly in the future! Oh, and I can't forget to mention her divine pink tutu! Pink tutus, you see, always give the performance that extra dose of magic.
For the grand finale, my journey continued to London, my heart practically dancing with anticipation. After all, it was a day for seeing the world-renowned Royal Ballet! I confess, darling, I did rather have my eye on the glorious scarlet costume for "Swan Lake" but alas, it was not to be! Luckily, I spied a glorious emerald green dress with shimmering embellishments at the nearby Harrods which I just couldn’t resist. I mean, who could resist a shimmering emerald green dress, right? I just love it when you can find that perfect dress that you know will work for a thousand adventures and this dress was definitely it! It’ll make such a splendid outfit for when I pop over to that new black hole boutique I hear is all the rage.
Speaking of fashion, did you see that gorgeous emerald green tutu the star wore at the "Swan Lake" opening night? It was simply divine! The way it shimmered in the spotlight - pure perfection! Honestly, it reminded me of the stunningly vibrant aurora borealis we once saw over Neptune's icy ring. Absolutely magical, wouldn't you say?
And speaking of things absolutely magical, it’s absolutely a necessity that we have a spot of retail therapy on this lovely Wednesday, yes? We deserve a bit of pampering, especially after my long galactic voyage! After all, a pink tutu can make anything better – especially a little shopping spree, am I right? I do hope you're finding enough fun in this lovely pink tutu universe. It's all about living life to the fullest, enjoying a bit of sparkly fun and a generous dash of glittery joy. Now go on then, darlings, and spread the love - and the tutus! Remember: every day can be your very own "Tutu Tuesday," full of sparkly moments and happy memories.
See you next Wednesday for my next planet Earth blog post,
Lots of love,
Emma xxx
