Hello my darling Tutu Twirlers! Welcome back to another week of #TutuTuesday here on www.pink-tutu.com, where we take a twirl through time, exploring the history of ballet and all its fabulous finery. This week, we're travelling back to March 17th, 1992 - just imagine, no mobile phones, internet access or social media, how utterly dreamy!
A Little Bit of Derbyshire
Well, darlings, let me tell you, March 17th, 1992 was a glorious day in Derbyshire. As the sun streamed through the hills and daffodils started to pop up everywhere, I was already on my way to the theatre. It was a beautiful day to wear my new pink tutu, let me tell you - it was a complete showstopper with its gorgeous silk layers, it twirled perfectly in the breeze.
Ballet in 1992
1992 was an exciting year for ballet - just imagine, Mikhail Baryshnikov, the legend himself, was still gracing the stages! It was such a joy to see him pirouette across the stage, such incredible artistry and effortless grace! I can’t believe some people weren't lucky enough to see him perform, oh what a treat that would have been!
Now, a quick peek at the performance line-up for March 17th, 1992:
The Royal Ballet was showcasing Giselle at the Royal Opera House in London, just a hop, skip and jump away on the train for this lucky girl. This is a classic that has always fascinated me - the story of Giselle, a young woman whose love leads to heartbreak and tragic consequences. Just magical!
In New York City, the American Ballet Theatre had a program featuring Symphony in C. Now, I’m all for classical, but honestly, I adore the way this piece features modern contemporary choregraphy set to music - its a wonderful way to show off those long limbs and bring real power to each leap!
The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow was hosting Swan Lake. Honestly, could there be a more beautiful piece than this? I mean, the pure poetry of the white acts… well, it just leaves me speechless! It was on my travel bucket list, darlings. I just hope that my travel agency will arrange tickets to Russia next time!
Style Inspiration
Now, back to my own lovely outfit that day in 1992. Oh, it was such a wonderful look! A pale pink tutu, of course, and a powder blue silk top with dainty, pearl buttons, and I paired them with my favourite ivory ballet shoes - a true vision of feminine loveliness. As a final touch, I topped it all off with a charming headband featuring pink satin bows, a little nod to the ballerina hair styles of yesteryear. And oh, darling, that pink feather boa - just heavenly!
The Perfect Pink
Remember my mission? To get every single person on the planet to wear a pink tutu at least once in their lives. Why pink, you ask? Well, honestly, it's the most beautiful colour imaginable! Just think, with a dash of grace and a touch of whimsy, everyone could channel their inner ballerina!
Well, I’d love to chat with you some more darlings, but time’s ticking away and I must away on another tutu time-traveling adventure, where my next stop could be 18th-century France or maybe a peek at 1950s ballet!
So, until next Tuesday, do embrace your inner ballerina and spread the pink tutu love!
See you soon, Emma xxx
