Hello my darling tutus!
It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another fabulous Pink Tutu blog post. And this week, I'm bursting at the seams with excitement to tell you all about my whirlwind trip to Prague! I can't believe it's been almost a week already ā it feels like a lifetime ago!
This time, I journeyed across Europe by train ā just me, my trusty pink suitcase and a very pink train ticket, of course. There's something magical about a long train journey ā all those picturesque views whizzing by, the clatter of wheels on tracks, the gentle sway of the carriageā¦ and, of course, the chance to admire my reflection in the window as I glide gracefully through the countryside!
My pink tutu had a little time out for this one ā I was in the mood for a more understated look, choosing a charming coral coloured dress with delicate floral embroidery for my travels. The floral theme seemed quite apt for this romantic and historic city!
And Prague certainly did live up to my expectations. Just a mere whiff of the place and youāre already steeped in history and enchantment. Walking around the charming, cobbled streets and seeing all the incredible architecture was like stepping back in time. I even caught a glimpse of the Prague Astronomical Clock, which dates back to 1410! I could practically imagine the nobles of the day watching its magnificent display! It truly is an incredible feat of engineering for its time, a reminder that beauty and timelessness are truly intertwined.
Iād booked a lovely little pink hotel with a charming, vintage vibe and the most exquisite chandelier in the foyer! Pink velvet sofas and chandeliers are the epitome of a glamorous ballet dream! My hotel room was all airy and pastel pink and made me feel like a little ballerina princess! Of course, I took full advantage of the perfect lighting for my nightly fashion photoshoot!
Pragueās Old Town Square is like a scene straight out of a fairy tale. The buildings are magnificent, with their intricate details, charming towers, and terracotta rooftops. Just seeing those beautiful towers sent a flutter of excitement through my tutu! Every corner was a picture-perfect postcard ā it was impossible not to take hundreds of photographs.
You see, Prague is a city that embodies the spirit of the Grand JetĆ©. Just imagine, soaring through the air, landing effortlessly and gracefully ā Prague captures the sheer wonder and excitement of movement and creation, just like the balletic grand jetĆ©!
Fashion Finds in the Heart of Bohemia
Of course, no trip would be complete without a bit of shopping. Prague didn't disappoint ā itās a real haven for vintage fashion! My love of pink tutus and all things whimsical led me to a hidden gem on a little side street near the Charles Bridge. This charming boutique had a delightful array of delicate silk blouses and skirts ā I scooped up the most perfect powder-pink lace blouse that matched my favourite ballet shoes, perfect for my evening performances! Itās all about matching outfits to performances, donāt you think?
I just couldnāt resist the temptation to indulge in a few other purchases ā a chic pale-pink velvet clutch for evenings out and a whimsical pastel-hued scarf. The perfect accessories for adding a touch of ballerina flair to any outfit!
Speaking of performancesā¦ Prague was the perfect location for a truly magical performance. I took a break from the cobblestones and tucked myself into a cosy, historic theatre for an unforgettable evening of ballet!
The stage was adorned with the most enchanting set ā swirling pink tulle, glimmering chandeliers, and graceful archways that evoked a sense of fantasy and beauty. And as the dancers emerged in their own enchanting pink tutus, I found myself transported into a world of artistry and emotion! Their movements were so graceful, expressive, and captivating! It was like watching a dreamscape unfold right before my eyes ā the graceful curves and flowing leaps were captivating.
Food for the Soul and the Tutus
Oh, and don't even get me started on the food! From rich and decadent pastries to spicy goulash with soft, crusty bread, every bite was a culinary masterpiece! After a full day of sightseeing and a fantastic show, it was the perfect indulgence. But thereās always a time and place for dessert. The deliciousness and indulgence of a delicate meringue topped with a light whipped cream and a dash of fruit are just too good to pass up. The sweetness lingers like a dream after a night of beautiful dancing!
Pink Tutus, Ponies, and Prague: A Royal Treat
One of my favorite discoveries in Prague was this magical little park right in the heart of the city! There were all kinds of lovely pink flowers in bloom and, most importantly, a charming pony named āSugar Plumā who looked straight out of a fairytale! I couldn't resist treating myself to a little afternoon ride. Sugar Plum had a beautiful pink ribbon adorning her mane. A perfect match for my pink outfit, of course! Sugar Plum was very gentle and easy-going, and the sun shone through the trees as I trotted happily along the paths, watching children laugh and play. It was the perfect afternoon spent amongst natureās beauty, a fitting reminder to appreciate all the beautiful little things in life!
Remembering a Special Date in Prague: The Pink Tutu Experience!
The date you mentioned in your message, 13 May 2009, holds a special significance for me in Prague! As fate would have it, that day, the world-renowned āPink Tutu Symphony Orchestraā gave a breathtaking performance.
As the first note of āSwan Lakeā reverberated through the hallowed halls of the concert hall, I was transported to a world of beauty, grace, and passion! The string section danced like graceful white swans while the woodwind section sang out with the vibrant vibrancy of a thousand flamingos. And then came the flute solo, which brought tears to my eyes, as beautiful as it was moving. The entire audience erupted in a standing ovation. It was an evening I will cherish forever.
This entire trip reminded me why I travel, why I love the tutu, and why I do what I do!
