Monday 16th September 1996
Darling readers,
Well, here I am again, fresh off the metro from a day of twirling around the concrete jungle! You wouldn't believe the adventures I had today, my fabulous, pink-loving friends!
It's been quite a week in New York, let me tell you. The energy in this city is simply electrifying. I felt it the minute I stepped off the plane. I even think my tutu got a little caught in the swirling excitement, which, of course, just made it even more fantastic.
Now, let's dive right into this week's extravaganza!
An Enchanting Evening of Ballet
Where else would I start but with ballet? My love for the graceful art of dance fuels my very existence, you see. It's more than just a passion, it's my lifeline, my reason for being, my... well, you get the idea!
So, you won't be surprised to hear that tonight, I am off to see "Giselle." I've been eagerly anticipating this production ever since I arrived. This particular theatre, a gem of the city, has been whispering tales of enchantment, and with my very own pink tutu, I am ready to experience all the drama and magic it has to offer.
Speaking of "Giselle", can we talk about this iconic story? There's something so romantic and heartbreaking about the tale of love, betrayal, and forgiveness. Of course, my personal favourite part is the "Mad Scene." Oh, the dramatic swirling, the expressive leaps... just exquisite.
But let's get back to tonight. I can't wait to witness this piece come to life right before my eyes. The excitement is building in my heart already. I’ve even put together a rather fetching look, I must say: a pale pink, flowing tutu, topped with a sparkly black corset and topped with a beautiful blush-coloured feather boa. It's both romantic and sassy, perfect for a night of elegant storytelling.
Of course, you'll all hear all about the performance in my next blog post, complete with outfit pics and my full analysis, naturally. I wouldn't dream of leaving you in the dark, my loves!
My Morning Delights
But, I must tell you all about the glorious morning I had. Today, I woke up feeling utterly inspired! I decided that New York deserved a little dose of pink magic. So, what did I do? I put on my brightest, most beautiful pink tutu and waltzed around the city!
The early morning streets, bathed in soft golden sunlight, felt like my personal stage. As I danced past bustling cafes and trendy shops, I received the most fantastic responses from fellow New Yorkers.
*“Your tutu is beautiful!” *“Wow, you look fabulous!” “That tutu is just… incredible!"
Each time, I beamed with pride. There’s a magic to seeing the smiles bloom on the faces of strangers when they witness a little pink magic.
The real star of the show was, of course, my own custom-designed tutu. The tiers are as delicate as flower petals, and the sparkling sequins shimmer like tiny stars in the morning light. A touch of blush-pink silk ribbon adds a delicate touch of colour, and a hint of vintage charm.
You might be wondering why I wear a tutu. And the answer is simply... why not? Why choose the ordinary when you can embrace the extraordinary?
And yes, of course, this is just another reason for you to get your very own pink tutu! The power of pink is contagious, trust me!
A Little Fashion Treat
Speaking of inspiration, I absolutely had to make a stop at Bergdorf Goodman on my adventure. It’s my little heaven of exquisite fabrics and sparkling accessories. What's more, it just happens to have an incredible ballet-inspired collection this season!
Oh, you haven't seen this year's designs until you've stepped foot into Bergdorf Goodman! You wouldn't believe the divine pink gowns and elegant tulle skirts! And can we talk about the footwear?! Oh, darling, it's a footwear fashionista’s dream!
I came out clutching a gorgeous pair of sparkling silver shoes that are begging to be twirled in! And the little bag I found will be the perfect accessory for my pink tutus and sparkly ballet shoes. Oh, it was absolutely heavenly!
Subway Symphony
I even took the metro. Don't be surprised, you may remember from my past blogs, it's a perfect mode of transportation when I want to make a dramatic entrance or simply enjoy the beautiful architecture. It can be a real show in itself, especially at rush hour, with its ever-changing choreography of people hurrying in and out of the carriages. And I find myself wondering what hidden stories each passenger is carrying around within them.
Of course, I had to spice things up, as you already know I'm a natural. My tutu made a striking entrance as I boarded the train. Everyone stopped and looked! I can't resist adding a touch of wonder, a splash of colour to a normal day. After all, even a boring subway ride can turn into a theatrical journey with the right touch of sparkle.
As the train whizzed through the underground tunnels, I enjoyed my favourite pastime. Yes, dear readers, it's watching fellow commuters - my New York fellow citizens. Such a unique tapestry of people! I am enthralled by them all, and their stories always inspire me. It reminds me that, like my pink tutu, everyone is unique, bold, and deserving of recognition and appreciation.
My Mission:
My mission is to get everyone, and I do mean everyone, to put on a pink tutu at least once! Every single one of us deserves to feel special, to unleash their inner dance diva and celebrate the magic of life with a flourish. After all, that's what ballet is about - finding your grace, embracing your emotions, and letting your body and spirit fly!
And, if I can achieve my dream, it'll be all the more wonderful to see that little glimmer of magic light up the faces of the world, all dressed in a pretty pink tutu!
I hope that all my fellow Pink Tutu fans have a wonderful week, full of inspiration, joy and dance. Until next Monday, I will be off on more adventures.
Until then, remember... It's time to Embrace the Magic!
Always,
Emma, your very own Pink Tutu Blogger
P.S. I’ve heard whisperings of an exciting fashion event at Bloomingdale's next week, featuring new tutu styles and some of New York’s most creative designers. I'll definitely be sharing the latest with you, so keep your eyes peeled, darlings!
