Hello lovelies, and welcome back to my Pink-Tutu.com blog! Today is Tutu Tuesday, and as always, we're going to take a journey through time, but this week, we're venturing to… drum roll please… 1840! Can you imagine the world without our beloved tutu? Oh, the horror! 😉
As a true Pink-Tutu girl at heart, I just have to share my excitement with you, darlings! The London Opera House, where we find ourselves today, is buzzing with anticipation, and the reason? Carlotta Grisi! Yes, she’s about to steal the stage in La Fille du Régiment. Let me tell you, this ballerina is making waves in the ballet world with her graceful steps, charming presence, and dare I say, utterly magnificent costumes! Whispers... She’s even inspiring a new craze… the “skirt!” Can you believe it, darling? I wouldn’t be surprised if they started calling them tutus someday… 😜
Speaking of tutus… or well, skirts in this time, I was absolutely delighted to see a glimpse into how the fashionable women of London wear them! We're talking swirling fabrics, vibrant colours, and such flair - it’s almost as good as a performance on the stage. 🩰 I bet they’d look amazing in our modern, sleek pink tutus! Now there’s a thought… pink tutus everywhere, even in the 19th century. Maybe that’s a trip for my future travel plans? 🤔
It’s absolutely incredible to see the evolution of fashion and the influence that ballerinas like Carlotta have on the world. The way the skirt became a must-have item for fashionable women just goes to show how inspiring a performance can be! Think about it, lovelies - one amazing performance, a little creative ingenuity, and BAM! - a new fashion trend is born! 💖
And for today, La Fille du Régiment is just the kind of inspiration that I need to go and find my own stylish tutu! And guess what? We can find tutus all over London in our modern day! Maybe we'll even be seeing a lot of the pink tutus. What a dream come true! Remember to come back every Tuesday for our #TutuTuesday blog posts for more history and more tutus! You can visit us online at www.pink-tutu.com, darlings, for all of your tutu-rific adventures! Remember, you don’t need a time machine to find your inner pink tutu ballerina - wear your pink tutu everywhere and make your own fabulous future, and until next week, keep twirling! 💕
Now if you’ll excuse me, darlings, there’s a fabulous new tutu shop just down the street! I wouldn’t want to miss the chance to find a new one! 😊
P.S. I just love the Victorian style - oh, what a splendid era for fashion and inspiration! 💕
Yours truly,
Emma 💖 Pink-Tutu.com 💖
