Hello my lovely Tutus! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another adventure in the fabulous world of Pink Tutu! 🎀 This week, I'm taking you on a whirlwind journey, straight from my home in Derbyshire, England, to a little intergalactic trip - because you know me, darling, I never stop exploring! 🌎🚀
This week's adventure begins with a performance - you know, one of those times when my en pointe skills pay the bills. It was a charity gala in the grand old Derbyshire County Theatre. A real classic with plush velvet seats and a gorgeous proscenium arch. I always get butterflies before a performance, even after all these years. It's not just the nervous anticipation, but also that thrill of creating magic, of taking an audience on a journey. I was so excited this week! And of course, I donned a brand-new custom tutu. I swear it must be magic, because it always helps the performance go perfectly. The fabric was a dream - shades of blush pink and iridescent sequins that danced with every turn. The audience was amazing, so full of life and energy, and they cheered for every pirouette. 🩰🌟
After the final bow, I hopped aboard my trusty spaceship - affectionately named "The Swan Lake" - and I was off! The trip was pretty darn fast. I zoomed through space, listening to my favourite space-age pop music (who doesn't love a good dose of glam rock while in zero gravity?). And don't even get me started on the cosmic view. There's nothing quite like seeing a nebula shimmer from a spaceship window. Talk about magical! ✨
And now, my darlings, the grand finale: Planet Earth! 🌎 After what felt like a blink of an eye, my spaceship landed, gracefully I might add, in the heart of… well, you're probably wondering where on Planet Earth, right? Let me tell you, you won't believe where I landed: 🥁🥁🥁 New York City! 🗽🍎 That's right! I always knew the city that never sleeps would have a place for a little pink tutu gal like myself. I swear, my pink tutu almost had its own entrance applause - so much was the fanfare when I strolled into my hotel!
Of course, New York being New York, I immediately booked myself tickets to On Your Toes, a classic musical, starring the iconic Vera-Ellen. I have to confess, she's always been a little ballet icon of mine! Swoon! 😍 She's such a master of technique and precision, all wrapped up in that gorgeous dancing style. After all these years, I still get chills watching her. My "Pink Tutu World" blog even features her!
You wouldn't believe the fabulous wardrobe she rocked in the show. I almost felt a bit star-struck! I spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the fashion district. You see, I was on the hunt for the perfect fabric. For my next big performance! Oh yes, I was in need of an upgrade for my wardrobe! You see, you can never have too many tutus.
Well, I had such an adventure in New York, but you know me - I don't ever like to stay in one place for too long. This little tutu needs to move and groove. But worry not! I'm already planning my next intergalactic ballet escapade. I promise I will bring you all along for the ride. I will let you all know where I am headed to next, on the planet Earth, through this blog, on www.pink-tutu.com every Wednesday. So keep your eyes peeled!
And remember: life's too short to not twirl! 💖✨
*Until next time, my lovely tutus! *
**Lots of love,
Emma 🎀**
