Good morning, my darling darlings! Emma here, writing to you live from the lovely city of Cambridge! It's a day that starts with the delicious aroma of a fresh croissant (a Cambridge classic, don't you know?), and a vision of Cambridge in the golden light of dawn, with my beloved pink tutu fluttering like a graceful flamingo in the breeze!
I confess, this particular pink tutu isn't any old tutu - it's the very special 'Cambridge Blush' - an absolute gem I picked up at a quaint antique shop in the heart of London, a true vintage treasure. It whispers history, it evokes whispers of ballerina whispers in gilded halls, and it has a story waiting to be told, which is what we do here at www.pink-tutu.com.
Anyway, today was a special day for a multitude of reasons: firstly, I'm on a solo journey to Cambridge to catch the prestigious Ballet Theatre Company's "Giselle." This ballet holds a particular significance for me; I recall first falling for its poignant, emotive power at a performance at the Derbyshire Theatre back when I was just 13! It was a moment that ignited the passion for the graceful world of ballet that now defines me, a moment when I knew that my soul longed for tutus, tights and pirouettes!
The second reason that today is so special is that the train journey here has been nothing short of sublime. I sat at the window seat, admiring the sprawling fields and quaint English villages painted in shades of green, watching a lone pheasant meander along the tracks, before gracefully soaring into the emerald canopy of trees. And you know what else? A group of children sat opposite, laughing and telling each other silly jokes and, what do you know, three out of the four were wearing... Pink tutus! My heart just did a happy little jump! And, you can be certain that they looked absolutely divine, each twirl a tiny puff of pink! My mission is to bring tutus to the masses, and with this lovely bunch of tutu-clad children, I felt like I was on my way to a small victory.
I even bumped into an old acquaintance on the platform in Cambridge – a fellow dancer who was once my tutor at Derbyshire Ballet Academy! We had a delightful, chit-chatty reunion, re-living our old routines and discussing the latest developments in the world of ballet, punctuated with joyful laughter, and reminiscing on that first encounter with Giselle all those years ago! You know what I told her? That "Giselle" sparked a spark in me, a passion for all things ballet, and even a pink tutu wearing mission to bring ballet to the world. And that's what makes a journey like this so wonderfully delightful, don't you think?
As the evening draws near, and I get ready to head to the Cambridge Corn Exchange, I can already feel the electrifying energy humming in the air. I'm wearing my favourite blush-coloured satin tutu – you guessed it, the 'Cambridge Blush' - a touch of femininity and a whole lot of 'pinksy' grace to this otherwise elegant venue! I will tell you more about the ballet performance tomorrow, and it goes without saying that it's sure to be enchanting!
However, for now, I leave you with this:
Always seek out the grace in every day, the little dances in the way leaves fall from the trees and in the way that the sunset casts an orange glow on the city's rooftops!
Never be afraid to add a touch of pink to your world, it adds an undeniable charm to anything and everything. It's a dose of delight, a promise of happiness, a tiny bit of magic, and let's be honest, what could be more perfect?
And, as for that elusive mission I hold so dear, well, keep on wearing those pink tutus! Your support, darling, means the world! And until next time, remember - the best tutu is always a pink one!
Sending you a thousand happy pirouettes!
Emma
