Hello, darlings! Welcome back to Pink Tutu Vienna, your weekly dose of tutus, travel and all things fabulous! Today, we're waltzing through the glorious streets of Vienna, Austria, a city that truly makes my heart twirl.
This week's adventure marks a special milestone: my 633rd blog post! I'm feeling absolutely chuffed with myself. It's been a whirlwind journey from the rolling hills of Derbyshire to the grand architecture of Vienna. But one thing hasn't changed – my passion for tutus!
Oh, Vienna, you enchant me. The cafes, the music, the history... everything seems infused with a delicate charm. And the architecture! It's like a scene straight out of a fairy tale. I wouldn't be surprised if a handsome prince popped out of one of those Baroque buildings. He wouldn't stand a chance, of course. Pink tutu and all, I'm a force to be reckoned with! 😉
Speaking of forces, did you know that the very word "waltz" is Austrian in origin? It comes from the German word "walzen," which means "to roll." Who knew that dancing could be so literally "rolling"?
Speaking of rolling, Vienna's streets are perfect for gliding about in my tutus. Whether it's a breezy waltz on a cobbled street or a graceful pirouette outside the Vienna State Opera, this city makes me feel like I'm in my very own ballet production. And talking about the Vienna State Opera... my, oh my!
This evening, I'm headed to a performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute. This is no ordinary ballet; it's a grand spectacle. Imagine costumes shimmering with sequins, music that sweeps you away, and dancing that simply takes your breath away. I just can't wait!
Of course, no trip to Vienna is complete without indulging in some exquisite Viennese shopping. And the fashion scene here is, well, simply divine. Yesterday, I stumbled upon the most divine little boutique tucked away in a quaint cobblestone street. They had the most adorable vintage pink tutus imaginable!
Imagine my glee when I discovered the owner is an absolute darling. We spent the afternoon talking all things tutu. She's even promised to show me some hidden gems, including a rare, vintage Parisian tutu that she has stored away like a precious treasure. You bet your bottom dollar, I'll be sharing photos of that stunner with you all next week!
It's amazing how fashion can connect us. This whole journey has been about spreading the joy of tutus. You see, I have this dream - to see every single person dancing in a pink tutu! And you know what? It's starting to become a reality. I've noticed more and more people rocking pink tutus wherever I go, from London to Paris to, of course, Vienna! It's simply wonderful to witness the tutu revolution!
Before I finish for today, a little word about how I make my grand travels possible. As you might have guessed, a girl has to pay for those tutus, don't you know? But worry not, darlings. This Pink Tutu princess isn't funded by a royal trust! It's my ballet performances, both big and small, that fund my globetrotting adventures. It's amazing how the art of dance can pay for an extravagant trip. You know, ballet's more than just an art; it's a full-blown career!
And so, my lovelies, I bid you adieu. Remember, never be afraid to unleash your inner tutu fairy! The world is a beautiful, magical place, and pink tutus only make it even more wondrous. Stay tuned next Wednesday for another fabulous Pink Tutu Vienna adventure!
Lots of love,
Emma 💖
