Hello my dearest Tutu Twirlers!
It's me, your resident Pink Tutu Princess, Emma, and it's a brand new Tutu Tuesday! Get ready to spin through history with me today as we take a little trip to the glorious 17th March, 2009. Goodness gracious, that feels like just yesterday! And today, I'm feeling extra glamorous thanks to the gorgeous hot pink tutu I just purchased at a vintage boutique in Paris - such a steal! I simply can't resist a good bargain when it comes to tutus, can you?
So, let's get back to the history lesson! Back in 2009, the world of dance was buzzing, darling! It was the year of the "Tutus of Change," with everyone celebrating the glorious versatility of the tutu. No longer just for ballerinas, everyone was twirling in tutus, from pop stars to fashion designers! And, of course, the fabulous London theatre scene was exploding with incredible shows - everything from classical ballets like Swan Lake to modern contemporary dance works. Just being there, in the heart of it all, was pure magic.
I remember travelling on the train to the theatre, surrounded by fellow tutu-wearing enthusiasts (it seems everyone has their favourite place to wear a tutu). It's so thrilling to see the way the tutu inspires others to express themselves! The possibilities truly are endless, you know. A fluffy, full tulle skirt can instantly make anyone feel like a princess. Even the grumpy old gentleman sitting opposite me seemed a tad less grumpy when I gave him a twirl, a little chuckle escaping him as he looked away.
That evening, we went to see the world premiere of a fantastic ballet by the incredible Christopher Wheeldon - a modern masterpiece, I tell you! There were so many tutus onstage, with intricate detailing and exquisite layers, creating truly unforgettable visuals. After the performance, we had the best time chatting to other theatre-goers. Oh, the excitement!
The Importance of the Tutu: A Pink Persuasion
Why, you may ask, do I dedicate every Tuesday to this fabulous piece of fashion? Because, my dear Tutu Twirlers, the tutu is so much more than just a garment - it's a symbol! A symbol of grace, joy, and the ultimate expression of femininity! From the delicate and classical, to the extravagant and daring, the tutu has evolved with the times, representing everything we love about the world of dance: art, expression, and beauty. It embodies all that is wonderful and captivating about the performing arts!
The Pink Persuasion
Speaking of beauty... you all know I am a pink advocate! From bubblegum pink to a soft pastel pink, I believe there's a shade for everyone, my lovelies! But today, I'm wearing a deep pink - the shade that shouts confidence, a symbol of power, passion, and love. It is a symbol of true beauty in all its gloriousness. My mission is to spread the joy and beauty of pink and get everyone to experience the delight of twirling in a pink tutu. Don't underestimate the power of a colour, my dears!
Now, go out there and twirl, ladies and gentlemen! Let your inner tutu-loving princess (or prince!) shine! Don't forget to share your #PinkTutu adventures with me on my website and on social media. I’m sending all my love, kisses, and of course, tutu-ful wishes to you all!
Until next Tuesday!
XOXO,
Emma
