Hello darlings! It's Emma here, back from another whirlwind week in the Big Apple, ready to spill all the pinkest, twirliest secrets!
This week has been a blur of Broadway magic, fabulous shopping sprees, and enough ballet to satisfy even the most dedicated of dance lovers! And I must say, darling, this week's tutu was a real showstopper. A glorious bubblegum pink confection with delicate feather trim, perfect for dancing amongst the neon lights of Times Square.
As you know, my quest is to spread the joy of pink tutus across the globe. It's a mission that started in the heart of Derbyshire, where I twirled through my childhood in my very first pink tutu. And it continues here in the city that never sleeps, where I'm sharing my passion with every dance-loving soul I encounter.
Speaking of dance-loving souls, darling, this week has been a total treat for the ballet fan in me! On Tuesday, I waltzed my way to the Lincoln Center for the New York City Ballet's summer season. The programme was breathtaking, full of elegant Balanchine pieces and modern interpretations. And let me tell you, I nearly cried at the finale! There's just something magical about seeing so many talented dancers sharing their passion under those iconic golden lights.
Of course, no trip to New York is complete without a healthy dose of Broadway. On Thursday, I was treated to a dazzling performance of Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre. The sets were simply divine, the costumes were jaw-dropping, and the songs, darling, those songs were simply divine. The story of Elphaba and Glinda never fails to move me. And this production really brought the characters and their journey to life!
Speaking of magical moments, I couldn't resist a little spree in the shops on Wednesday. My trusty MetroCard took me on a delightful jaunt to Bloomingdale's, where I discovered the most stunning new line of designer tutus! Just imagine, darling, the perfect tulle, with intricate details and a splash of pink… pure sartorial heaven!
Of course, no shopping spree is complete without a spot of lunch at a fabulous little cafe, followed by an afternoon of wandering the charming streets of SoHo. I even snagged a stunning pink hat with a large satin bow to match my latest tutu. A perfect addition to my ever-expanding collection.
But perhaps the most important moment of the week was a serendipitous encounter in the park. A young girl, no older than five, was clutching a pink tutu, eyes wide with wonder. I stopped to chat and she shared her dreams of becoming a ballerina. That's when I realised the impact that spreading my pink tutu love has on others. It's more than just fashion; it's a reminder that every single person has a little magic inside them.
I know what you're thinking: how does Emma manage to fund all of this incredible adventure? Well, darling, my secret is a very well-kept one! Between my weekly dance classes and regular ballet performances, I'm fortunate enough to be able to share my love of dance with others, earning enough to chase my pink tutu dreams!
The good news is, I'm back in New York next week, ready to create more magical moments. I'm thinking about taking a dance class with a new teacher, trying out a new Broadway show (maybe The Lion King?) and indulging in some delicious local cuisine!
And of course, I'll be posting all about my adventures here on www.pink-tutu.com every Monday. Don't forget to pop back next week, darling, and join me on the pinkest journey!
Until then, keep on twirling!
Lots of love,
Emma 🩰💖✨
