Hello my darling dears! đŠ°â¨
Itâs Wednesday, which means itâs time for another fabulous post from your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing intergalactic traveller! This week I'm bringing you all the latest from my recent adventure on Planet Earth. Yes, thatâs right, my latest mission took me to the dusty old planet of our solar system. You know, the one where humans still think itâs okay to wear pants! Honestly, darling, we need to get some of my gorgeous pink tutus onto these earthly creatures â Iâm sure itâs a good look for them, once they get used to the idea.
But Iâm getting ahead of myself! Letâs take it from the beginning. My trip to Planet Earth was actually a dream come true! I'd always heard about this fascinating place, and as a lover of history, I just had to experience the cradle of civilization for myself. Not to mention the fashion darling! The rumours of their street style were absolutely tantalising! Apparently, it involved pants... oh the horror. đ
Anyways, I boarded my spaceship â a stunning chrome pink creation, designed entirely by me â and jetted off into the Milky Way. After a mere 3-day journey, I found myself in Derbyshire, a county on Planet Earth. The locals call it "the heart of England". I honestly wasnât entirely sure what that meant but it sounded lovely! As usual, I did my research before arriving and this area is famed for its connection to ballet. In fact, they say a famous choreographer called Matthew Bourne (a man of Earth, darling!) got his start in Derbyshire â isnât that divine?! You can see the ballet of Matthew Bourne everywhere! From his home town to London, even the streets are filled with his inspired choreography, at least in the hearts of people there.
Of course, I had to see some Earthly ballet shows! Firstly, the Birmingham Royal Ballet, they were delightful and a true honour to watch, theyâve actually got a tutu from my personal collection, that pink with the silver trim, that is just divine, isn't it! Of course, the audiences loved seeing that gorgeous piece up on stage, and I think it made quite an impression on some of the local girls... just wait until they see what's in store for them on Planet Tutu.
The locals of Birmingham were particularly delightful! After the show, I joined them for a scrumptious afternoon tea at a very charming place called âThe Alchemistâ, I do love those earthly tea traditions. Itâs the sort of delightful nonsense one expects to find in such a historic and artistic area. They even managed to get their hands on a few of my new pink tutu collection! Some of the designs I'd created especially for Earthlings! Darling, I donât think we can expect too much creativity from them at this point. It seems it was a great hit!
You see, this Earthly fashion⌠Well, let's just say it needs a little help from a fashion icon such as myself. But after seeing their latest street style, and a little âtutuâ influence from me, I can tell the people are starting to get it! Their version of âstreet fashionâ seems to consist of some sort of baggy pants. Apparently, these are called âjoggersâ which I must admit sound far more charming than they actually look. The human men were also wearing little tops called "t-shirts". They even have a design, which I would say could pass as ballet style with the right choice of fabrics! The shirts looked somewhat ...âTutu-ableâ, in the sense they had a resemblance of a flowing top, only they had no flowing or movement in the actual garment. However, the possibilities are exciting â one could easily imagine a t-shirt draped with delicate chiffon or silk. This gave me all sorts of ideas... a lot of possibilities. I believe a whole planet of women (and men too!), decked out in glorious tutus could become a reality... Perhaps it would even give me the perfect opportunity to wear that custom-designed pink tutu for my next blog photo shoot â itâs the one with the tiny LED lights stitched all around the skirt â that truly brings a unique dimension to the tutus for the future.
Of course, you know that darling I wasnât just in Birmingham! There was another location on my itinerary â Stratford-upon-Avon! Did you know it's famous for something rather unique and fascinating? Itâs where Shakespeare was born, darling! Imagine! A town named for this phenomenal writer of Earthly literature, with Shakespeare's birthplace just across from a ballet school! Well, not just any school mind you, a place called The DanceXchange - what a great name don't you think! And do you know darling, The DanceXchange teaches various dance styles, and one of these just happens to be, well... ballet. Isnât that amazing?! How perfect, it's like a ballet dream come true! Of course, I paid them a visit, I really am all about sharing the joys of ballet with as many humans as possible! Imagine, if all of Earth adopted my wonderful vision - the perfect world! Where all would twirl and dance in gorgeous, fabulous pink tutus... Wouldn't that be spectacular! And my dear, I can almost see the possibilities with this Earthly fashion situation, because honestly, darling, I am the only one with the kind of ideas and drive it takes to get those tutus worn worldwide. After all, where can you go to get the latest, most stunning and elegant tutues on the entire galaxy? Thatâs right my dears, the place to go for that special something is here â with me â right now â on Planet Tutu !
Of course, no trip to the planet of pants would be complete without some proper shopping, darling. Oh, the treasures I found! One particular little shop called âB. & E. Antiquesâ, just off Stratford-upon-Avon, is a veritable mine of wonders! Their Earthly treasures included something that took me back in time, like the best memories from my very own personal collection... they had some fabulous antique tutus from ahem, another era. Yes darling, the very era they had tutus! (Can you believe some humans thought they would just stop making the amazing tutu and simply adopt... well, that "other" garment? Oh, the shame.) Now I need to create a display to give these "vintage" pieces a new lease of life, imagine them shining in my collection... they would really be something special... and just think what they will tell the planet about fashion in the past. A chance to really make a point with the ultimate piece of attire! Well, you know me! I just canât resist the call of a great deal! I am an avid supporter of second-hand items, which is why I can't just resist these wonderful items of Earthly history. Oh, the wonders one finds! I just love seeing these historical treasures and it really inspires me. Oh, and so much of it could be made better, by adding that gorgeous pink! Now, you all know how much I adore all things pink, darling. I must have picked up a dozen vintage tutus â I'm thinking they might just be the perfect touch for some of my future designs! (Perhaps even for me - my pink-obsessed heart can never have too many, can it?)
Well, it seems like all good things must come to an end â it's time for me to take my pink, beautiful spaceship back into the depths of the universe and take my tutu ideas into even more distant star systems.
Planet Earth â until next time, darling!
