Hello darlings! Emma here, back from another whirlwind week in the Big Apple, and oh, it's been a treat!
This week I've been swirling through the city in a new hot pink tulle confection, feeling absolutely fabulous, of course! It's like a dream come true, the streets are abuzz with excitement, and the energy just electrifies the air! The lights are brighter, the laughs are louder, the fashion, darling, is just out of this world! I haven't even mentioned the food, oh my goodness, the food! But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
It's Monday 4th January, 1999, and I'm ready to whisk you all off on a pink tutu adventure, starting with a morning coffee at one of my favourite haunts - a little cafe on the Upper East Side. It's hidden down a charming little cobblestone street, the kind that you just happen to stumble upon on a blustery New York morning.
I adore those small little boutiques that pop up like hidden gems. I'm on the lookout for something special, something with just the right amount of glitz and glamour for my evening performance. It's a special engagement at Lincoln Center this week, and I'm determined to find a costume that'll turn heads!
You know how much I love finding unique pieces, something to really give a look that ‘je ne sais quoi’, darling. And today's find was just that – a sequined bolero jacket, a shocking pink (naturally!), which I know will look utterly fabulous over my pink tutu for the performance tonight. It was just a little too much to carry in the metro, though, (I swear, some of the Metro tunnels could accommodate a jumbo jet!), but I was just so chuffed I practically danced my way to the stage door of the theatre!
The Magic of a Broadway Show: 'Chicago'!Speaking of the stage, this afternoon was an absolute dream! I’m a huge fan of Broadway shows, and today's show had to be the best! ‘Chicago’ was nothing short of electric! The music, the costumes, the incredible dancing… it all had me on the edge of my seat. Honestly, I'm not sure if I felt like I was watching a performance, or actually dancing myself - it was so immersive! The power of the musical and the* incredible artistry* just swept me away.
And speaking of incredible artistry…* I had the most extraordinary chance meeting afterwards.* You wouldn’t believe this.
After the curtain call, as I was standing outside, enjoying the last lingering notes of the final song, who should I bump into but Velma Kelly herself! It was surreal! She was as kind and warm as she appeared on stage, and we chatted about our mutual love for dance. She was so complimentary about my pink tutu! Imagine, my pink tutu receiving the seal of approval from Velma Kelly herself! I think my cheeks are still rosy from the blush!
Later, after grabbing a bite (a divine croissant, of course), I popped by the legendary "Carnegie Hall". The place has just as much character as all those other wonderful New York sights. And you know me, a ballerina’s always got to indulge in a little ‘gram! You'll find that shot on my Pink Tutu Instagram, #PinkTutuNYC of course.
The evening finally arrived, and with it, my performance at Lincoln Center. It was such a magical atmosphere backstage, with the energy building as the opening chords of the first piece were played. The audience's applause was electrifying, and as I took my bow, I could have danced on forever.
A Pink Tutu Dream Come TrueI can't help but marvel at the unforgettable moments this week, those unique opportunities that New York so generously offers. Every corner holds a story, every step a new discovery.
And tonight, as I slipped into bed in my super-comfy, custom-made, pink-tutu pajamas, I knew that tomorrow would bring another exciting adventure in this fabulous city.
*This week, I feel more than ever that my pink tutu is really starting to catch on. * I spotted several others on the streets this week, including a very fashionable teenager who was sporting one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art!
New York truly does have its magic, and you know I'm going to be spreading the pink tutu love around the city every chance I get!
Be sure to catch me back here next week, as I embark on another delightful New York escapade! Until then, keep your tutus ready!
Love, Emma
