The mysterious pink ballet shoe
April 9th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
The other day a jiffy bag arrived for me in the post. This is always an exciting time as jiffy bags hold something interesting – a CD maybe, or some random late night drunken Ebay purchase.
This time … THIS was inside …
Now, I may not have been one of those girlie girlie kids but even I know that that is ballet shoe. One of them. A very odd thing to find inside an envelope addressed to me.
A tiny pink ballet shoe, with a pink ribbon around it.
On paper this is the recipe for me to run screaming for the hills and dig out my Doc Martens to redress the karmic balance … but this had me intrigued.
The ribbon around the shoe had the following message:
“Something is happening at Bullring …. 11am Friday 9th April St Martins Walk lifefeelsbetter.co.uk/urbanballet”
To quote a certain nosy little girl who fell down a rabbit hole, curiouser and curiouser.
So what is Urban Ballet?

Now I’m guessing this means there will be ballet, at the Bullring.
The last time I saw ballet was when school took us to watch The Nutcracker. We spent the whole time using the binoculars to star at one of the male ballet stars who had a large hole in his tights. The name of the ballet took a whole new meaning.
Today I am older, wiser and interested to see what this is about … I will report back …
