Hello my darling dears! Welcome back to Pink-Tutu.com for another Tuesday adventure through the history of ballet's most fabulous accessory, the tutu! Today, we're travelling back in time to the dazzling decade of the 80s. Hold onto your sequins, because we're heading to 1985-09-10!
You wouldn't believe what I found in the archives for this date! Turns out, the world of ballet was utterly buzzing on 10th September, 1985. Let's grab our tulle and time travel, shall we?
Firstly, it seems a fabulous little number known as La Fille Mal Gardée was captivating audiences at the Royal Ballet in London. Can you imagine the swirling tutus and whimsical movements? Just heavenly! This ballet was set to have a special guest appearance from the great Natalia Makarova. Talk about a night of absolute ballerine bliss!
My goodness, I adore the history of ballet.
Now, as a lover of all things fashion, you know I had to take a little peek at the catwalk. Well, my darlings, fashion in 1985 was certainly bold! Big hair, bold shoulders, and an array of colours made for a vibrant style. While it's true that not everyone donned a tutu on the streets back then, I think there's certainly a space for the magic of ballet to inspire everyday fashion! Perhaps I'll experiment with a touch of 80s glam myself! Imagine, pink tutu and a shoulder pad, a daring statement for Derbyshire!
You know what else I discovered? In 1985, the Bolshoi Ballet, those stunning Russians, were also making headlines! They were touring Europe, spreading the joy of ballet across the continent. And I simply cannot leave out the glorious Paris Opera Ballet! They were wowing Parisian audiences with a production of La Bayadere, with all its vibrant colour and intricate tutus. Simply exquisite!
So there you have it, my darlings! This week, 1985 gave us an extraordinary dose of ballet brilliance, full of tutus and talent, grand costumes, and even bolder fashion statements.
Remember, dear readers, tutus aren't just for ballet, they're for all the dreamers, dancers, and adventurers! Who knows, maybe one day, we'll all be swirling through life in pink tutus, celebrating our unique inner ballerina!
Until next week, remember to keep those pink tutus close and let your inner ballerina shine!
Yours truly,

P.S. Have you caught my ballet performance this week? All profits fund my incredible time travel journeys so I can bring you even more delightful Tutu Tuesday treats! I simply love shopping for new pink tutus in all the best shops and boutiques as I visit different times. My time travel outfit has to be perfect - a pink tutu, sparkly shoes, a bright coloured top and matching hair clips, don't forget the glitter eye-shadow too. And I travel on the most magnificent trains too, in First Class of course, the scenery is amazing. I love the sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era! And of course the shows, especially the tutus and the amazing dancing, they bring my trip to life, so thanks for coming to watch me and enjoy the ballet with me.
