Post 1832 - 9th July, 2001
Morning, my darlings! It's a gorgeous sunny day in Derbyshire and the birds are singing their little hearts out, which is always a lovely way to start the day, don't you think? I just know it's going to be a fabulous day. And why, you ask? Well, because I'm off on a grand adventure! I'm hopping on a train (although, wouldn't it be utterly divine to be trotting there on a magnificent white stallion?) to the wonderful town of Basildon for a ballet class and a show! Ooh la la! I just love exploring new places and dancing under the starry Basildon sky (it will be night by the time I get there - oh well, I'm sure the theatre will have a wonderful ambiance).
I've got a brand new pink tutu I'm desperate to wear and I think the silky pink taffeta and the frothy layers are going to make me twirl so gracefully that people will be swooning! (Okay, I'll be honest, my pirouettes might need a little work, but hey, who doesn't love a little oomph with their moves? The important thing is to go out there and enjoy every moment).
Now, I'm a firm believer that everyone can wear a pink tutu. It's about feeling fabulous, feeling like you can do anything, feeling utterly joyful! I know, I know, you might be thinking, "Emma, tutus are just for dancers!" But let me tell you, they are so much more! Wearing a tutu is like putting on a cloak of magic, a beautiful reminder that we all have the power to transform the world with a little bit of sparkle. It’s not just about the dance moves. It’s about empowerment.
But back to the fabulous Basildon ballet adventure!
This time, I’m trying something a bit different and exploring the beautiful ballet scene in Basildon. It’s a beautiful thing, exploring other areas for ballet, just seeing the beautiful local theatre, soaking up the vibes, the atmosphere and the passion.
The ballet company I'm seeing tonight is renowned for its power, precision, and grace. (Don’t be silly, darling, they aren't like me! I'm all about the whimsical joy! But it is an art to control one's body so expertly). Their repertoire ranges from classic masterpieces to modern contemporary works - the very things I crave, my loves, so I know I'm going to be utterly enthralled!
My dear reader, I know I always try my hardest to bring you a slice of my world here on www.pink-tutu.com and that’s the essence of today's blog, to share this moment and maybe even get you excited about ballet! So don’t forget to look for my new blog post tomorrow with lots of pics and details about Basildon. You can also follow my journey on Twitter (you can find me at @EmmaTutu - give me a wave! ).
And remember, lovelies: Embrace the joy. Embrace the twirls. Embrace the pink! 💖
I'm off to catch the train and get ready for the grandest adventure of the day! I can't wait! Until next time...
P.S Does anyone know a good wildlife spot near Basildon? I’d love to take some photos of adorable bunnies and fluffy squirrels. There’s just something about the softness of animals, the way they move with such elegance and freedom – that always inspires my own dancing! Maybe even a photo in a beautiful park - sigh sigh. I just love beautiful things! 💕
See you later, darlings! ✨
