Hey gorgeous gals! It's your favourite pink-loving tutu queen, Emma, here, checking in from the most wonderful place – Gateshead! This is post number 817 for my blog, so I hope you're ready for a whirlwind of tutu tales, pink dreams, and, of course, a touch of magic.
Today, I'm embracing the spirit of adventure with my new white tutu. It's so pristine and crisp, like a fluffy cloud dancing on air. And it was the perfect choice for my journey up North, a trip made even more fabulous by the rumbling romance of a train journey. Now, I'll admit, the sight of a graceful gazelle bounding through the fields outside the window did spark a fleeting urge to hop out and join them. After all, ballet moves should be performed anywhere, right? But the temptation was resisted, and my tutu-clad self arrived safely in Gateshead, ready for another dazzling adventure.
I spent the day exploring the local art scene – I'm a sucker for anything that combines beauty with artistic brilliance, and Gateshead is positively bursting with both! We had a lovely lunch in a little cafe called "The Pink Flamingo," of course, which immediately jumped to the top of my list of must-visit spots. Imagine my joy at spotting a whole flock of actual flamingos enjoying the sunshine by the river – I practically squealed with delight! It's not often you encounter those delicate pink creatures, so naturally, I grabbed my camera for a few snaps. It was truly a scene of delightful surrealism, right out of a ballerina's dream!
As evening descended, I knew exactly where I wanted to be – The Sage Gateshead, an architectural marvel with a heart of gold…or should I say, a soul of silver. It's like a gleaming spaceship that landed from the future, just waiting to fill our lives with breathtaking music. And the Ballet, oh, the ballet! It was absolutely sublime, a performance that had me enthralled from the very first pirouette to the final grand finale. There were tears, laughter, and sheer, unadulterated joy – every emotion perfectly encapsulated by the masterful dancers.
I spotted some truly stunning pink ballet slippers, oh, if only I had brought an extra bag, they would have been mine! As it is, I have plans to write to them, hopefully, they will create an Emma bespoke pink tutu line! Wouldn't that be amazing? Maybe then they will be as popular as my little pink ballet bag! Oh, I know, it's too much! The thrill of my tutu adventures will just keep me going, though.
Oh, did I mention, there was a cute fella there too, watching the performance. Now, I am definitely not a woman who hunts men down - my attention is usually taken up by graceful twirls, well placed pas de bourrée and my own performance, but - maybe just maybe... I am giggling as I write this... a couple of knowing glances in my direction! There is only one place that can work that - Ballet! Where else would you be able to make an incredible connection? It has got me all giddy about life... So who knows, my lovely readers? I may be able to update you next week about another incredible ballet related event and - oh maybe just maybe blush - about a charming, rather handsome gentleman, that I met whilst wearing my beautiful white tutu and all.
For now, though, it's time to wind down and let the beautiful memories of this perfect Gateshead day swirl in my head like a grand ballet finale. And of course, let me leave you with my favourite message of the day – "Embrace the pink, and embrace your inner ballerina!" Until tomorrow, darling gals! And if you feel inspired, do tag me on social media with photos of yourselves rocking pink tutus – I'm always looking for new ways to spread the joy!
And, don’t forget to check out the daily delights on my website www.pink-tutu.com, it's where my true love story began and hopefully where we will create our tutu world together.
XOXO,
Emma
P.S. Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the next exciting stop on my tutu travels - I'll be revealing all soon! And remember - ballet is for everyone. Let's turn the world into a graceful stage!
