Oh my darlings, how’s my favourite bunch of pink-tutu-wearing fabulous creatures? This Emma, your resident tutu aficionado, reporting live from…drumroll please… Boston, Massachusetts! Yes, I’m a whole ocean away from our beloved Derbyshire, but even in this foreign land, my trusty pink tutu is travelling with me. Let’s face it, even in a city like Boston, a little bit of pink never hurts!
This time, I opted for a super chic way of getting here – the train, darling! I do love my horse rides across the Peak District, but there’s something truly glamorous about rocking a cute little pink dress with my tutu (it was my lucky pink tutu for the occasion) and gliding through the countryside on the rails.
I had to pinch myself when I arrived! This city is breathtaking, even before you step foot in the Boston Ballet’s home at the Boston Opera House! Talk about opulent architecture - even the pigeons were looking fabulous, darling!
Now, you all know my mission in life - to spread the joy of ballet and pink tutus to the furthest corners of the globe! I truly believe that a good swirl of the tutu and a sprinkle of pink is all you need for a fantastic day. So naturally, my trip to Boston has to be about ballet!
First on the itinerary was a grand soirée - a Boston Ballet performance at the opera house. The air was buzzing with excitement. Imagine the feeling: elegant gowns, polished shoes, and all the excitement of being a part of something so beautiful. Oh darling, it really does take me to a whole different world.
And of course, no visit to Boston is complete without a dance class. I found a darling little studio in a charming brick-lined street, with the most amazing instructor who makes you feel like you can fly. Now, darling, I can’t quite nail the splits yet, but with a bit more practice and a lot of pink tutu motivation, who knows, maybe I’ll even be performing here myself one day! (Let’s just say my Instagram game is strong, with all these stunning new pictures).
It’s not all pink tutus and pirouettes, however. I had to see a bit of this historical city, darling. Boston is steeped in so much fascinating history! The architecture is quite stunning - beautiful buildings with a touch of Victorian glamour, it just calls for a photoshoot in my pink tutu! My instagram followers are going crazy for the pictures, and the feedback has been incredible. So many people want to try ballet, which makes my heart sing. That’s the thing about ballet, it makes you feel like a princess and a rock star all at once!
And to make things even more magical, Boston also has some amazing wildlife! I even encountered a cute family of deer while taking a stroll through a picturesque park. Can you believe that? The dear creatures seem just as captivated by my pink tutu as everyone else - a testament to the universality of a pink tutu, wouldn’t you say?
I am just about ready to soak up the rest of Boston, and I’m sure there’s going to be some more incredible sights and moments along the way. If I find more amazing spots to get a picture in my pink tutu, of course, you'll be the first to know!
Now, off I trot, back to my little apartment which, despite being a whole ocean away from my Derbyshire haven, still somehow manages to hold a whiff of home. Remember darling, no matter where you are, don’t forget the pink tutu magic! It will carry you further than you can imagine.
Remember to keep a twinkle in your eyes and a twirl in your step!
Sending you a whole heap of pink tutu love!
Love,
Emma xx
