**18th October 1996**
My darlings, I’m here to talk about a serious matter – ballet. Now, some of you might think it's all twirling and pink tutus (darling, they can be white too!) and yes, there's plenty of that. But let me tell you, the dedication these girls put in, well, it's more than just a pretty face, let me tell you.
These beautiful ballerinas, these graceful gazelles, they put their heart and soul into every leap, every arabesque, every pas de bourrée. Don't let the graceful façade fool you. The sheer effort it takes to pirouette with that poise, the muscle it takes to rise into a perfect grand jeté? Let’s just say that these girls know a thing or two about suffering for their art!
Speaking of tutus, darling, let’s be honest – there's a certain magic to those frothy pink and white concoctions, right? They're the epitome of ballerina style. Just like the perfect pair of Jimmy Choos, or a classic little black dress, a tutu just completes a look. Oh darling, a good tutu is a statement! A call to the world saying, “I’m a ballerina! And I’m here to bring the magic, the grace, the art!”
Now, the leotard – let’s not forget about that. It's the essential undergarment for any self-respecting ballerina, as much a necessity as a well-stocked make-up bag is to a society darling like myself. We’re talking black, of course, maybe a touch of navy for a change of pace. Something that hugs you just right, making you feel strong and elegant at the same time. And speaking of strength, don't be fooled by the grace of a ballerina. Those little legs and arms, darling, are a powerhouse of muscles!
Oh, and the barre? Those wonderful wooden bars that these elegant dancers use to build the core of their art? My, it's a spectacle to see them balancing there. All poised and perfectly honed, their every muscle working, building that perfect dancer’s body, making every plié a work of art, each tendu a small masterpiece.
You see, ballet, darlings, it's more than just dancing. It's an art form, a lifestyle. It’s an opportunity to see these fabulous dancers pushing the boundaries of beauty and strength. Their graceful moves, those powerful pirouettes and graceful leaps are truly an inspiring spectacle. Every time I see a ballerina glide across the stage, my heart soars with excitement.
I just know that once you see it, the magic of ballet will capture your heart too! It will bring you right back to that little girl who used to dance around the house, with her dreams filled with those famous pink tutus, a vision of pure innocence. So next time you're at the theater, darlings, remember those dreams, remember that feeling, remember the ballerina you always wanted to be.
And while we're at it, do indulge in a glass of champagne and watch the magic unfold! It’s truly something special!
And lastly, remember my dear, it’s always acceptable to dream in pink! And maybe wear some yourself!
