Hello, my darling tutu enthusiasts!
It’s your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing blogger, Emma, here! 🩰💖 And welcome to another #TutuTuesday, a journey through the enchanting history of ballet and its captivating costumes, the magnificent tutus! Today we're taking a leap back in time to 4th January 1927 - oh, what a glamorous year!
The Big Apple's Bright Lights!
Today, my little tutu birds, I'm right here in the heart of New York City, the city that never sleeps, and let me tell you, the energy here is just buzzing! You can almost feel the pulse of the roaring twenties beating all around. So, let's go on a delightful little jaunt through the theatre and fashion scene, shall we?
Now, picture it, my dears: Broadway! The vibrant colours, the roaring laughter, the orchestras in full swing. Today, in the theatre world, they're showing “The Cocoanuts”, a play brimming with delightful wit and music, and starring the one and only Marx Brothers! Now, those gentlemen are sure to tickle your funny bone with their charming brand of comedy, so if you ever get the chance, go and have a giggle with them! They're quite the show, if I say so myself. 😉
Style Inspiration from the City of Dreams!
And the fashion, my dears, oh the fashion! Now, just imagine, the flappers, with their playful bobbed hair, their knee-length skirts, and the shimmer of their drop-waist dresses. It's all a delightful mix of sleek elegance and breezy independence. The women are dancing with the freedom of their own choosing, and they're embracing this dazzling era in full swing! And let's not forget, even in this time of flapper trends, ballet remains as beloved as ever, and I must say, I just adore the romantic feel of it all!
A Ballet Tale!
Now, talking of ballet, I'm absolutely giddy because I've just popped in to the Metropolitan Opera House, oh my darling, such an opulent and enchanting place! They are hosting the world-renowned Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev this month. And did you know, this remarkable ballet company is captivating audiences everywhere with their extraordinary creations! You see, Serge Diaghilev had the incredible vision to create the Ballet Russes, a symphony of artistic genius that brought together the best dancers, choreographers, and designers of the day! I mean, can you imagine all of that wonderful talent combined into one fantastic spectacle? My goodness, that must have been spectacular! I wonder what sort of captivating tutu designs are on stage? They were all the rage at the time, don’t you know? And the dancers in these stunning creations, they are the picture of pure elegance!
Taking Flight in Pink!
Now, dear tutufriends, I know what you're thinking! Pink! Of course, this lovely pink tutu! 🩰 💖 Well, it's perfectly on point with all the gorgeous colour of the era! There's a joy in wearing such a feminine and whimsical tutu, and the colour just makes me feel so joyful! It reminds me of all the lovely things that dance into my life - the joy of travel, the laughter of the stage, the excitement of new designs and fashion.
A Journey in Time, A Dream in Pink!
Remember, my dears, whether you're at the theatre or in the streets, never be afraid to embrace the bold, the bright, and the beautiful! Just like those glorious dancers on the stage, we all have a unique flair within us! So, put on your own charming spin on the times, and enjoy the adventure, whatever that may look like! 💖
I am, your ever so passionate ballerina blogger,
Emma! 🩰
