#PinkTutuBlogNYC Monday 1999-07-12 she danced in New York City

Hello my darlings! Welcome back to another week of adventures in the Big Apple. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and you know what that means? It's time to put on our pink tutus and dance our way through New York City! 🩰✨

This week has been absolutely whirlwind – a kaleidoscope of shows, shopping sprees, and, of course, ballet, ballet, ballet! You know me, I can't resist a good Broadway show, a new outfit, or a graceful pirouette.

And trust me, New York City knows how to deliver!

Now, my lovelies, I've got to tell you about my fabulous experience at the Ambassador Theatre watching "Chicago"! The energy in that theatre was simply electrifying. Those costumes were divine, with glitz and glamour dripping from every sequin. The choreography was superb, and the dancing had me feeling as if I could step right onto the stage with them. The music was incredibly captivating. The story itself is as clever as it is dramatic, and I just loved every minute of it. It left me feeling absolutely inspired and ready to sway to my own Chicago tune!

Speaking of inspiring... "Chicago" has completely reignited my desire to join a dance troupe! Maybe I'll start my own ballet street team and make everyone wear pink tutus – think pink tutus on the subway, pink tutus at Times Square, pink tutus... everywhere!

Of course, no trip to New York City is complete without a little retail therapy. I just had to check out the fabulous bargain stores - after all, even a pink tutu girl loves a good deal! I spent hours combing through racks upon racks of vintage treasures, finding everything from vintage handbags and brooches to amazing pairs of statement earrings. You'd be surprised at what treasures you can unearth when you put your detective hat on! You see, I'm quite the bargain hunter!

Remember, darlings, that it's all about balancing fun and fitness. To maintain my pirouette prowess and plié skills, I squeezed in a ballet class at the world-renowned Steps on Broadway studio! The atmosphere there was buzzing with energy – everyone from aspiring professionals to seasoned performers honing their craft. My goodness, I felt so rejuvenated! There's nothing quite like getting your toes en pointe and feeling that satisfying muscle burn – especially in a room full of inspiring dance enthusiasts!

The subway system is quite a feat of engineering, don't you think? You can hop on the train in the heart of Times Square and be whizzed away to a bustling street fair in Brooklyn in mere minutes. I found it surprisingly convenient, and honestly, I adore the sheer amount of people-watching opportunities you get to enjoy. I met a darling woman from Brooklyn who swears that pink tutus will make the subway even more joyful. She's a champion of wearing them in everyday life! We even made plans to have pink tutu coffee date next week at Cafe Carota in Brooklyn – can you believe how lovely she is?!

Speaking of Brooklyn, I ventured across the East River to explore its unique charm! The energy of Brooklyn is much more laid-back and community-driven. The art scene is thriving, and the cafes are just bursting with creativity. I stumbled across this delightful vintage boutique brimming with vintage clothing and accessories – perfect for a true fashionista on the hunt for something special! And let's not forget the fantastic bagel shops!

### Monday in New York City: An Artful Day!

Oh, how I do love Mondays! And today, July 12th, 1999, New York City is buzzing with cultural happenings. I'm kicking off the day with a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art – their new Egyptian exhibit has been all the rage, and I'm thrilled to finally experience it myself! Later, I plan to see the latest exhibit at the MoMA. I've heard it's quite something! I love exploring new forms of expression and letting my creative juices flow!

### Staying Grounded: Reflecting on My Derbyshire Roots

I might be caught up in the excitement of New York City life, but my heart always remains in Derbyshire. There's something very special about that rolling countryside – it feels so tranquil and grounding, like a little piece of my heart still lives there. And every time I head back home for a visit, the beauty of nature inspires me to see life through fresh eyes and appreciate every little joy it has to offer.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I can't bring my love of Derbyshire with me wherever I go. You know me – I'm all about making my own traditions. I'll be having a delicious Derbyshire tea break at Cafe Luxembourg with a couple of new friends I made at a ballet class this week!

### Spread the Tutu Love

Well, my darlings, that's all for this week! Thank you so much for joining me on this wild ride! As always, remember that pink tutus can be worn anywhere, anytime! I hope you'll take inspiration from my adventures and embrace the bold beauty of embracing yourself and what makes you unique! I encourage each of you to twirl on through life with confidence and a big dose of joy! Until next time, keep dancing and spread the pink tutu love!

See you next Monday!

Lots of love and twirls, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
