Bonjour, darlings! Emma here, your resident pink tutu aficionado, and guess what? I'm in Prague! Yes, you read that right - this fabulous pink tutu-wearing gal is traversing the cobblestone streets of this fairytale city. The air here is filled with the scent of roasted chestnuts, the clinking of beer mugs in cosy taverns, and a touch of magic that I simply can't resist. This is post number 131, so settle in with a cup of Earl Grey and prepare for a whimsical journey into the world of ballet, fashion, and the charm of Prague!
Before I dive into the splendours of the city, a little peek into how I got here! A few weeks back, I had the privilege of performing a rather delightful ballet piece in Dresden, all adorned in, of course, a shimmering pink tutu! I must confess, it was a glorious feeling - the lights, the applause, the magical world of dance. Not to mention the wonderful memories and the financial freedom to make my next tutu-filled journey.
Speaking of journeys, reaching Prague by train was an absolute treat. Picture this: a charming carriage, velvet seats, a picturesque countryside whizzing by, and, of course, me in a vibrant pink tutu with a matching vintage hat. Every journey is an opportunity to spread the joy of the pink tutu! It's not just an outfit, my darlings, it's a philosophy, a way of life!
Now, Prague itself! It's a haven for romanticism and charm. The winding cobbled lanes, the intricate architecture, and the gentle sway of the Charles Bridge all feel like a scene from a ballet! I've already explored the enchanting Old Town Square, admired the grand gothic Prague Castle, and even managed a spontaneous pony ride through the city's park, looking absolutely ravishing in my pink tutu and riding boots!
But let's be honest, the true magic of this trip lay in attending the most wonderful ballet performance at the National Theatre last night! The date was the 29th of October, 1997 - it was an absolute masterpiece. "Swan Lake" is my personal favourite, and it was staged with such grace and elegance. Every twirl, every leap, every movement was a delight to behold. I was transported to a realm of fantasy, utterly captivated by the stories they told through their dance.
After the show, of course, a delightful shopping expedition was a must! I've found myself drawn to Prague's quirky little boutiques. My love for vintage treasures found me in the enchanting alleys of Prague, where I discovered a delightful pink scarf with intricate floral designs - perfect for a day exploring the city's hidden treasures. It reminds me of a ballerina's flowing tutu, don't you think?
And as always, fashion is always at the forefront of my journey. My trusty pink tutu remains a constant companion, accessorized with playful embellishments depending on the occasion. My journey has seen it paired with everything from whimsical hats to oversized sunglasses and sparkly clutches, always adding a dash of femininity and whimsical charm to my travels.
Don't worry, darlings, I haven't forgotten my purpose: To share the joys of ballet with everyone! Throughout the city, I've been inspiring other travellers to embrace the power of a pink tutu, even if just for a moment. My mission? To spread the magic of pink tutus worldwide! It's a movement, you see.
Speaking of movements, there's a ballet class I'm about to attend in the Old Town Square. You won't believe this - a bunch of local Prague dancers are joining me! They're actually embracing the pink tutu phenomenon, and we'll be performing a spontaneous little ballet routine in the heart of the city! I'll be sure to snap some pictures to share with you all!
It's Wednesday, so that’s all for now, darlings! Be sure to visit www.pink-tutu.com next week for another delightful adventure from the world of fashion, ballet, and the magic of pink!
Until then, embrace your inner ballerina, always dance to the beat of your own heart, and remember, pink tutus make the world a brighter, more beautiful place!
With love and twirls,
Emma.
