Hiya darlings! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, popping in to sprinkle some sartorial magic on your Tuesday! It's a chilly one here in Derbyshire, but thankfully I've got my pinkest tutu on (a beautiful feather-light tulle creation by the fabulous Miss Penelope – she’s got an amazing boutique on Kensington High Street) to keep me warm and bring a dash of sunshine to this dreary day.
This week, my time machine is taking us all the way back to 3rd November 1970. Can you imagine? No internet, no social media, and mobile phones were only a futuristic twinkle in someone's eye! The world was a simpler, tutu-ier place back then, wouldn't you say?
Speaking of simpler times, today is all about the fabulous tutus gracing the world's stages. The 3rd of November 1970 saw The Royal Ballet perform "Giselle" at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. I'm telling you, those dancers in their white Romantic tutus looked absolutely divine. They would be the envy of any tutu-loving ballerina, me included!
Speaking of "Giselle", a little fun fact for you – The Royal Ballet's performance of "Giselle" in 1970 was a real big deal. It marked the opening of the season, so they brought their A-game and absolutely owned that stage with some truly breathtaking performances. You could say the tutus played their part. * *
There are times I wish I could go back and be there – just picture it! Stepping into the Royal Opera House in my sparkly pink tutu and sitting down in the opulent, plush velvet seats with all those stylish people. Just the feeling of being surrounded by that elegance, those costumes... It would be an unforgettable night. sighs dreamily
And of course, you just have to be the centre of attention while marvelling at all the incredible details. I imagine myself admiring the intricate, detailed tutus worn by the ballerinas. Tutus that truly capture the drama and romance of the choreography!
Now, you might think 1970 was a lifetime ago, and perhaps in some ways it was, but you know what? Even then, the allure of a tutu, its magic, its ethereal quality - was completely timeless!
Remember: *Tutu Tuesday is all about embracing your inner ballerina and letting your tutu fly! * You never know, you might just spark a tutu-inspired revolution.

Well my lovelies, I’m no stranger to hard work! I perform, and then I spend my hard-earned pounds on my favourite things – tutus, fashion, shopping and travelling to see some stunning performances. Sometimes I even make the tutus myself. It’s a lovely little project that brings me lots of joy. You should try it!
See, being a tutu aficionado means more than just twirling! It's about following your dreams, living your passions and making your own magic, even with a little time travel in between!
Until next week… happy twirling!
