Pink Tutu Blog NYC: Post 583 - New York City, Monday 7th August 2006

Oh, darlings! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely delightful. I was whisked away to the dazzling city of New York, my heart brimming with excitement and my tutu ready to twirl!

For those who don’t know, I’m Emma, a proud Derbyshire girl with a passion for pink, tutus, and travelling. I’m on a mission to spread the joy of pink tutus to every corner of the globe! I write this blog to inspire you all to embrace a little bit of magic and twirl into the unknown. And, oh, how I’ve been twirling!

The Big Apple's Bright Lights

Landing in New York City feels like stepping into a film! It’s alive, buzzing with energy, a whirlwind of sights and sounds. The towering skyscrapers, the endless taxis, the diverse crowds… It’s overwhelming in the best way possible.

A Ballerina's Paradise

New York, as it turns out, is a ballerina's dream! My mission was twofold – firstly, to see the legendary New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. Secondly, to indulge in a little tutu shopping spree in the chicest shops in the city. Oh, darling, the dresses! The shoes! The sparkles!

The New York City Ballet

I couldn’t resist starting my New York adventure with a night at the theatre. I was particularly excited to see a piece by George Balanchine, the renowned choreographer. The programme was breathtaking, and the dancers, each so technically accomplished, had me mesmerised. It's truly awe-inspiring to see such grace and skill on stage.

Fashion Finds in New York

A tutu spree in the city is like stepping into a fairytale! I discovered the most delightful shops. Think beautiful lace, luxurious silks, delicate tulle, and of course, an abundance of pink. I couldn't leave without a brand-new tutu, a pink one with hand-stitched details – a truly magical addition to my wardrobe. I also managed to snag a pair of ruby red shoes, perfect for twirling through the streets.

Dining with a View

One of my highlights was dinner at the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at the Rockefeller Center. It offered panoramic views of the city that were breathtaking. It felt like I could see for miles! I paired my pink tutu with a classic black dress and a sparkling pink necklace, looking every bit the graceful ballerina. The views and the atmosphere, simply exquisite!

Subway Symphony

Who needs a train, when you’ve got the New York Subway! A vibrant network of underground journeys that take you right to the heart of the city. It’s all about the experience! I found myself joining a sea of fellow passengers, each with their own destination, their own story. It was all so exciting and bustling. I especially loved the graffiti art on the subway walls, showcasing the artistic spirit of the city.

A Pink Tutu Mission in Motion

Every single day here feels like an adventure. From trying new things to exploring the incredible art scene, it's all been absolutely wonderful. I saw the vibrant colours of Greenwich Village, walked through Central Park, marveled at the intricate buildings and wandered through a bustling Farmer’s market in Union Square, all the while embracing my inner ballerina, and twirling around in my pink tutu!

Don't Be Afraid to Twirl

It’s always fascinating to see how different places have their own individual personality. New York has a vibrancy, a raw energy, that’s infectious. But even in the hustle and bustle, I see an artistic spirit, a deep love for life, that truly resonates. I believe this city truly does have something to offer everyone, and that includes those of us who love to dance! So, take a leap, grab your tutu, and embrace the beautiful, vibrant, ever-changing dance of life.

The Power of Pink

For me, wearing my pink tutu in a bustling city like New York is about showing the world that there’s magic in the ordinary. It’s a reminder to always embrace your inner joy and to find the sparkle in everyday life. So, do try to find a pink tutu, or at least wear pink, and find your own special place to twirl, no matter where you are in the world.

See you next Monday, my dearest twirlers, on Pink-Tutu.com!

Love, Emma xx
