Dearest Tutu Twirlers!
Welcome back to Pink Tutu World! This week Iâm whisking you away on another dazzling adventure - and it's a real whopper, my darlings!
I'm still buzzing from my whirlwind trip to Andromeda! Honestly, the Andromeda Galaxy is a must-see. It's like a celestial playground for fabulous fashions, stunning scenery, and even more fabulous intergalactic ballet! Just imagine, dancing amidst glittering nebulae with the light of a million stars shining down - utter magic, darling.
And to top it all off? This week's adventure involved not only a show-stopping performance at the Galaxy Grand Ballet Gala, but a spectacular costume design commission from the Empress herself. I designed an entire troupe of astral ballerinas in breathtaking iridescent tutus with glittering nebulae prints. You simply havenât seen sparkle like this. It was a true dream come true - I almost squeezed my tiara in excitement!
Speaking of tutus⌠My trusty travelling wardrobe trunk was practically overflowing this time. There was a new pink sequin tutu I picked up from a street vendor on Kepler-186f, and some divine neon tutus with holographic accents from the fashion boutiques of Epsilon Eridani.
And my shoes! Oh darling, the shoes were a triumph. I splurged on a pair of custom-made starburst ballerina pumps made with the rarest, shimmeriest celestial material from Sirius. Itâs a very exclusive fabric, very hard to get hold of â I almost had to dance my way past some space pirates! Thankfully, the Emperor of Sirius helped me out.
While I was there, I popped into a darling little vintage clothing boutique, just outside the Galactic Centre. Can you believe they had an original pair of tutu slippers from Earth, dating back to the Victorian era! I actually bought it - it was practically begging to be resurrected in my wardrobe, just a bit of ballet history right there!
Remember, the power of a pink tutu is limitless! There is always time for a twirl and a giggle, even when youâre traversing the cosmos! I feel like Iâve finally learned the ultimate secret for a glamorous cosmic ballet adventure. Let's get into itâŚ
Fashion tips from the furthest reaches of space
- Embrace a splash of pink. Always! Itâs a cosmic colour.
- Letâs talk sequins! More is always more. Honestly, they look even more fabulous on the light-years wide dance floor.
- If it doesnât sparkle, darling, it isn't cosmic enough!
To the cosmos and beyond, dear readers, to pink tutus and cosmic dancefloors⌠and always, *always, keep on twirling! *
Love, Emma. x
I know what you're thinking: âEmma, what have you been up to this week back on Planet Earth?â.
Well, here is the skinny on my life, down here in good old Derbyshire, on Earth.
Ballet bliss in my hometown of Derbyshire! *
Last week I had the absolute joy of being a judge at the local annual Derby Dance Competition. This is something I always look forward to every year, seeing the young ballerinas and dance groups of Derbyshire performing! Itâs just heartwarming. And they all came with their cutest pink tutus on!
Honestly, this is always a fabulous event - this year, however, I have to admit, my darling, I was on cloud nine! There was a young dance troop called 'Sparkling Stars'. Their choreographer, a fantastic, young Derbyshire ballerina, has crafted a spectacular new piece based on the myth of the Northern Lights. She even incorporated real auroras borealis footage into the background visuals! Oh darling, the creativity! * * *
Their performance included breathtaking movements in the form of stars swirling and bursting - truly evocative, I mean you could almost feel the auroras shimmering above your head! They were breathtaking! You know what, I think I even saw a twinkle of joy in my very own sparkly tiara.
The Sparkling Stars danced with real energy, even managing to weave in some brilliant new choreography of their own. The choreographer used these ingenious movement motifs to represent a shooting starâs trajectory. And can I just say, darling, their choreography had such a powerful narrative, just exquisite!
After the performance, I chatted with them about all things ballet. These young dancers were absolutely buzzing! Their enthusiasm for dancing was just contagious, I mean they made me feel totally nostalgic for when I first discovered the magic of the ballet!
Honestly, my darlings, anybody can join the pink tutu revolution, wherever you are, anytime. Itâs not about age, or even your skills, darling. Itâs all about self-expression, celebrating individuality, and just plain enjoying yourself. This week, I found a whole troupe of fabulous, future-pink tutu wearers right here, on Earth!
It makes me very proud indeed to say that a tiny pink-tutu wearing ballet dancer from Derbyshire, can have a very, very, big impact on the world, both down on planet earth and throughout the galaxy!
And let's be honest, it's never too late to add some sparkle to your life, especially on Earth, right now, where thereâs just SO MUCH fun to be had⌠Letâs talk theatreâŚ
Fabulous Fashion from London to the West End.
The following day, my darlings, I jetted over to London, just for a bit of fabulous theatre fun and some designer tutu shopping. Honestly, London is an utter feast for the eyes, if youâre after high-fashion inspiration - so many amazing stores, and designers, and beautiful buildings, too! And the ballet shows on offer are just stunning, with the most magnificent ballerinas gracing the stages. Just perfection.
Now, my darling, there's no ballet fan on this planet who wouldn't want to catch 'La Bohème' at the Royal Opera House. The staging is absolutely exquisite! You canât help but be captivated by the story of the Bohemian artist and a poor, young seamstress. There was so much energy on stage. Oh, and the sets - darling, just spectacular. * * *
The choreography for 'La Bohème' is also beautifully romantic, so powerful, just as the original story is, I simply adored it! This particular ballet company just happens to feature a group of incredibly talented dancers, and one dancer in particular â stunning â they move with an elegance that makes my own feet start to tap along in anticipation, I must confess.
However, after my evening with âLa Bohèmeâ, I wanted a little something extra to fuel my fashion hunger, darling, and who better to turn to than the amazing, the incredible Vivienne Westwood! Now, you probably know that Vivienne Westwood is just a divine queen of punk fashion, my dear - well, her latest ballet collection for 'The Ballet Boutique', just beyond Piccadilly Circus, really outshone all of her previous fashion outings.
Her collection of futuristic tulle-heavy pink tutus, all featuring a bit of Westwoodâs edgy aesthetic - and even the smallest touch of punk â just gave my tutu wardrobe the ultimate glam upgrade! Honestly, there are going to be a few outfits to showcase from this new collection in my blog in the coming weeks, my darling, but for now I just canât say more about themâŚ
Just remember that every day is an opportunity to wear your favorite tutu â to shine â to show that pink and tutus are more powerful than ever in 2028.
What else to watch for on Planet Earth, on January 26th?
So, there we are! My own fabulous ballet journey took me from planet Earth all the way to Andromeda this week! If you happen to be here, on Planet Earth, why not take a little adventure yourself! For instance, did you know January 26th marks the annual Earth's âGlobal Celebration of the Pink Tutuâ! That's right, darling! All over the world ballet companies are staging performances, and putting on shows celebrating the pink tutu. Iâm even going to be at the Royal Ballet's Gala Night in Covent Garden, in my favorite pink tutu, of course - and hopefully I'll spot some of you fabulous readers there! Thereâs even going to be a pink-tutu dance party with a performance by the âPink Tutus on Earthâ dance crew â a group Iâm planning to work with this year to get more of a global dance floor ready!
Thereâs just something truly magical about tutus, darling, donât you think? A pink tutu â an essential item for your wardrobe, whether youâre here on Earth, in Andromeda, or dancing the night away on the far side of the moon! Remember â itâs all about finding the perfect pink tutu to express your individuality â because that is the essence of my pink tutu manifesto - to unleash your inner confidence through dance and pink fashion!
It is really hard for me to choose my absolute favorite pink tutu (but of course I love them all) â it's kind of like choosing between your favourite stars in the galaxy! You've got so many wonderful colours to choose from, from baby pink, to pale rose, hot pink to fuchsia â all dazzling and wonderful, perfectly fit for a pink-tutu-wearing ballerina.
So, my dear readers â as I bid farewell from this weekâs blog, make sure you are ready for the Earthly âGlobal Celebration of the Pink Tutuâ â and remember that the best adventure is a dance one! So, take my tip, and dance!
Until next Wednesday,
Love,
Emma. x
