Post Number 188
Hello my lovelies! It's Emma here, and welcome back to my weekly Pink Tutu blog, dedicated to all things fabulous, fluffy, and, of course, pink! As always, you can find my musings and NYC adventures every Monday at www.pink-tutu.com.
This week, my darling tutu and I have been shimmying our way through the bustling streets of New York City. Now, I know some might say a pink tutu isn't the most practical choice for navigating the concrete jungle, but I'm all about making a statement. Besides, a girl can never be too twirly, especially in the city that never sleeps!
Now, this trip has been a real whirlwind, and I have to say, I'm absolutely loving the energy and the sheer vibrancy of this city. The sights, the sounds, the endless options for a delicious cuppa – it's just magical!
The Ballet - From Derbyshire to Broadway
Before I even arrived in New York, my tutu and I were already performing, funding this grand adventure. I can't believe how lucky I am to have this life – swirling across stages and then finding myself amidst the glamour of New York City.
You might be wondering what I danced to on the night I flew off to America. Well, it was the ever-classic “Swan Lake”. We twirled and leaped with the grace of swans, leaving the audience spellbound (I can tell because the applause was simply magnificent!).
A Tutu and a Metro Ride
Once in NYC, it was time to hop on the metro and take in the sights. I'm not gonna lie, it can get a bit hectic down there, but it's also the perfect way to experience the city's pulse – a symphony of sounds and a whirlwind of different people and places. And the best part? Nobody blinked when I entered with my tutu in tow! Perhaps New Yorkers are used to the extraordinary.
Shopping Spree on 5th Avenue
After navigating the city’s subway network, I was in desperate need of some retail therapy. The call of the iconic boutiques along Fifth Avenue was just too irresistible! Imagine, darling, rows and rows of designer handbags, exquisite footwear, and of course, those magnificent little pink tutus that tickled my fancy (it's all in the name, you see!). The Fifth Avenue shopping spree left me feeling refreshed, reinvigorated, and oh-so-ready to tackle New York.
The "Cats" That Stole My Heart
Speaking of magical experiences, my dear New York adventure wouldn't be complete without a night at the theatre. You can’t come to NYC and not see a Broadway show, now, can you? And so, my Tutu and I decided to see “Cats”. The whole theatre, from the velvet seats to the towering stage, radiated with an enchanting glow. My favourite moments were all those leaps and bounding around. The show truly stole my heart, and let’s be honest, any cat-themed performance always has an extra special place in my heart. They say if you want a life of extravagance you need to live it, well I’ve definitely embraced that ethos this week in New York!
Sharing the Pink Tutu Love
Of course, my trip to the city wouldn’t be complete without spreading the joy of pink tutus! Let’s be real, what better place to spread some happiness and inspire others to unleash their inner ballerinas than the heart of the city that never sleeps? Now, I know it's a bit different than, say, Derbyshire. I’m really hoping to get some New York City girls dancing with us on the streets – after all, what's more fun than prancing around with a bunch of like-minded individuals, all sporting their own beautiful pink tutus?
A Taste of New York City’s Delights
New York is renowned for its culinary scene. No trip is complete without indulging in a scrumptious treat. So of course, a delightful breakfast bagel with a pink sparkly smoothie, was the perfect way to fuel up for a busy day! Later in the day I discovered a cupcake bakery near Times Square, where I had a delectable raspberry and white chocolate cupcake topped with sprinkles - the perfect sugar rush for my twirling adventure.
Keeping it Positive - Spread the Love!
Whether I’m shopping, exploring the streets or dancing through Times Square, one thing’s for sure - New York city, it's infectious energy has truly enchanted me. The city's always buzzing with excitement, innovation, and an amazing mix of cultures.
Oh, my lovelies! You'll have to wait for the next blog for my full New York diary. Until then, remember to embrace every adventure with a little sprinkle of pink tutu magic, and don’t forget – every day’s a new chance to share the joy of dancing, laughter and embracing life to the fullest. Let’s keep it positive, shall we?
Till next week,
Emma xx
