Hello, my dearest Tutu Twirlers!
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for another dose of pink-tutu-liciousness from your favourite intergalactic ballerina! This week, I’m bringing you the most vibrant, exciting news, straight from the heart of…drumroll please…Planet Earth! Yes, you read that right, I’m back on my home planet, Earth, and I am positively brimming with excitement for the fabulous adventures that lie ahead.
Back to My Roots
This time, my travels have brought me right back to the familiar green hills of Derbyshire, England. Now, Derbyshire might not be known for its pulsating, vibrant nightlife like some of the galactic hotspots I've visited, but there’s something quite enchanting about returning to the place where my love affair with ballet first blossomed. The air is crisp, the grass is emerald green, and the skies are dotted with fluffy clouds, and it just feels like home. Oh, and it's definitely raining. A LOT. The irony isn't lost on me! But that doesn't stop me! You can't keep a Pink Tutu World girl down!
Speaking of home, this trip has been a real opportunity for me to reconnect with my roots. There's something incredibly grounding about getting back in touch with where it all began. I mean, I can’t even imagine the future Pink Tutu World I envision without my little Derbyshire beginnings. It's where my first tutu dreams danced into reality, and it’s where my passion for all things sparkly and fabulous was ignited. The very first pair of ballet shoes I ever owned came from a little shop just down the street, a tiny gem that probably nobody remembers any more, but that meant the world to me! I even remember being allowed to pick a giant glittery barrette to go with them. Oh the joys of childhood.
From Intergalactic Touring to Ballet Bliss in the Peak District
While I've been whizzing through the cosmos in my trusty pink spaceship, the world of ballet hasn't stood still! I’m absolutely giddy to find that Earth’s ballet scene is bursting with new and exciting performances. It’s enough to make a ballerina's heart soar! It’s truly a thrilling time to be on this beautiful planet. I’m so happy to be back in time to immerse myself in all of the ballet brilliance.
Last night, I caught a mesmerizing performance of Swan Lake at the Buxton Opera House, nestled right here in my beloved Derbyshire. It was simply breathtaking. The dancers were a whirlwind of elegance and grace, with costumes fit for a fairy tale. The grand finale, of course, was met with a roar of applause – and just you wait for my Tutu Twist, as it was simply stunning! I was blown away by the costumes - talk about sequins! There was enough silver in those costumes to give an entire alien colony a good bling. The main ballerina even had her tutu adorned with real (well, presumably) pearls – oh how I would love to get my hands on those. They say they cost an absolute fortune. Talk about fabulous. You can’t get much more pink-tutu-licious than that!
This weekend, I'm making the most of this rare opportunity to be on Planet Earth by planning a trip to see the breathtaking Royal Ballet performing in London. London is always buzzing with activity, but with the Royal Ballet, I know it's going to be a truly dazzling experience!
Ballet Adventures, Earth-Style!
My Pink Tutu World travels aren't just about dancing in spectacular galactic shows, though! As much as I love those glittering grand spectacles, there’s something special about seeing the passion and commitment in everyday dance. This week, I plan to explore some of the local ballet studios around Derbyshire. My own Pink Tutu World journey wouldn't be complete without soaking up some Earthly dance wisdom and inspiration. Plus, I’m sure these talented dancers will give me plenty of tips on where to get the best pink tutus in Derbyshire. It wouldn’t be right for me to leave Earth without picking up a new one, would it? And I'm sure you all know what my criteria are for a fabulous pink tutu… it's got to have tulle as big as the entire solar system and as shiny as a diamond! And it’s gotta twirl!
I’m also going to treat myself to some ballet shopping, an absolute must when you’re back in the world of terrestrial fashion. There's something irresistible about a well-chosen outfit – particularly if it involves tutus! I’ve got my eyes set on a new pair of pink satin shoes and some elegant pink ballet tights. There's no place on Earth (or in the galaxy, for that matter) like Planet Earth when it comes to those perfect pink accessories!
Staying True to My Mission:
So, my little Tutu Twirlers, wherever your own ballet dreams may take you, know this: the journey is what matters, the excitement is contagious, and life, whether it’s on Earth or amongst the stars, is meant to be lived in a swirl of colour and joy!
I will, of course, keep you updated on my adventures here on Planet Earth, because you know I can't keep all the pink tutu fun to myself. Be sure to tune in next Wednesday for another exciting post about Pink Tutu World. In the meantime, remember that a little bit of pink tutu goes a long way and to spread that fabulous energy!
Until next time, twirl on, my loves!

Pink Tutu World Fashion Update
Since you guys are always asking for outfit details, I’m happy to spill the tea. I have always wanted a celestial blue jumpsuit. I know. Weird! But it’s just something about this colour! So I got one and of course it was in space silk! Now, I love it when things are unexpected! It can only be found on Earth in vintage markets (so lucky it's the one thing they haven't banned in this age of virtual commerce!). There’s only one rule - wear it with an over-sized tutu! It just has to be huge and make a statement and I found the perfect one, it has little crystals all over. And it's shocking pink! You can’t get anything more in line with Pink Tutu World values than that, can you? Plus it means my legs get all the exposure they deserve.
I am rocking this look around my favorite vintage markets, it just makes me happy! You know me! Love an intergalactic mix of colors and styles!
What's Happening on Earth:
Just for the record, it's a big deal for me to be here for July 8th. As you guys know, it’s my favourite date. Because it's the day I found my tutu love on planet Earth, it's the day that launched the journey I’ve been on ever since, all because of this day! Well, my tutu. Let’s not forget my pink, sequin covered tulle dream. There’s nothing quite like seeing all the special pink tutu themed things out on that day, from new designs, vintage finds, to parades and special displays of dance history, plus they’ve even set up this big new museum exhibit in London! So I’ll be sure to get my fill of those on the 8th and tell you all about it.
Well, what are you waiting for? Get out there and make your own special pink tutu memories, and don’t forget to tag me on social media @pinktutugirl with all the #pinktutu hashtags, because I am here for you all!
Love and tutus,
Emma
