Pink Tutu Blog: NYC Monday, 2012-05-07 - New York City, New York, New York!
Hello darling tutu lovers! Welcome back to Pink Tutu Blog! It’s Monday, so it’s time for another fabulously pink update from yours truly, Emma, right here from the Big Apple! Today marks my 883rd post, and as always, I'm brimming with excitement to share my adventures with you.
New York City - The Ballet Capital!
This week I'm absolutely buzzing about everything New York City has to offer! It's a ballet-lovers dream, darling. The sheer number of incredible performances is mind-boggling. Last night, I took in a breathtaking performance by the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. It was "Giselle" – a beautiful and tragic love story with the most exquisite choreography, absolutely mesmerizing! The dancers were simply ethereal – their movements were like liquid silk, and their passion radiated across the stage.
Speaking of "Giselle," did you know that there's a charming little tradition associated with it? Apparently, a little girl, often in her very first ballet shoes, is chosen to walk onto the stage to receive a bouquet from the lead dancer after the performance. It's utterly enchanting, a little slice of pure magic right there in the heart of the city. And I'm practically dying to know, if I ever have a daughter, will she be lucky enough to experience this wonderful tradition?
Tutu-rific Adventures - Beyond the Ballet
Of course, there's so much more to explore in New York than just ballet, but darling, the City really does lend itself perfectly to a life in tutus! This city is all about big dreams and big personalities, and what says "personality" more than a pink tutu, eh?
This week, I popped into a fantastic vintage store tucked away in the West Village, where I snagged a pair of adorable ballet flats in a dusty pink shade – just divine! They are the most beautiful shade of pink, you can just imagine how perfect they would be with a fluffy pink tulle skirt for a delightful daytime ballet-inspired outfit. It really adds that special "Emma" touch, you know? I’m sure the fabulous people of New York City will love my fashion choices!
I'm a huge advocate of public transport - the subway in New York City is a world of its own, filled with endless fascination, with quirky characters and incredible stories unfolding right in front of your eyes. And yes, of course, I was sporting my very own pink tutu and ballerina flats - because, honestly, why not? My aim is to make the world a prettier place one tutu at a time! I might even start a pink tutu club while I’m here!
Life is a Ballet - Embrace Your Inner Prima Ballerina
Whether you're an avid ballerina or a mere enthusiast, a graceful twirl, or a dazzling pirouette, life is a constant performance! My mantra: Embrace every moment with confidence, creativity and a generous sprinkle of pink. And hey, who says you can't be the star of your own life, right?
Now, darlings, I've got to rush! Tonight, I'm headed to a show - I hear it's "Cats," the ultimate feline extravaganza, full of vibrant costumes and enchanting choreography! If there's anything I adore, it's an abundance of feathers and sequins. Who knows what fabulous outfits will be on display? You can be certain that Pink Tutu Blog will be the first to share the deets with you!
Until next week, keep twirling, and always remember - life is meant to be lived with a sprinkle of sparkle!
