Hello, darlings! It's your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and this is post number 23 for you lovelies! 💅
The air is nippy this week, a chill even Pink Tutu Sparkles can't escape. But my goodness, I've landed in Aberdeen! My train journey was a bit of a whirlwind – imagine this: a pink-clad TutuQueen amidst all those serious faces, the carriage a symphony of quiet, and then me - breaking out my trusty pocket-mirror to ensure my mascara wasn't melting in the sunshine! ☀️ It takes a real star to pull off fabulousness even in the face of such solemn surroundings! 😉
Speaking of solemn, I actually felt quite contemplative as the train sped through the rolling green countryside. I mean, imagine it! Here I am, your favourite Pink Tutu Queen, jet-setting to the Granite City to grace its stage! You see, darlings, the life of a TutuQueen isn't always sparkles and champagne (although it is very much those things, too!). There's the long hours of practice, the careful crafting of costumes (one never wears the same outfit twice, unless it's for a themed night – stay tuned for my "All That Glitters" extravaganza later this month!).
But seriously, folks, my journey here began way back in the quaint countryside of Derbyshire. Back then, I was just Alex, a humble student pursuing a degree in... well, let's just say a degree with lots of white lab coats! 🧪 However, beneath the microscope, I harbored a hidden passion: ballet. My days were spent dissecting molecules, but my nights were spent in a dance studio, swirling and pirouette-ing in a sea of other budding ballerinas! (Now, I know what you're thinking... wouldn't it have been grander to major in ballet?! Perhaps, but a labcoat can be quite the alluring costume in the right light!). 😉
Speaking of costumes, I distinctly remember my first ever tutu experience! It was for a charity event, and they convinced me to try one on. Let me tell you, darlings, that pink tulle transformed my entire world. My love for ballet was no secret, but that pink tutu... it ignited something deeper within. It whispered tales of fabulousness, of sparkle, and most importantly, it told me I could be whoever I wanted to be! ✨ That was the day I became Pink Tutu Sparkles.
Of course, like all TutuQueens, I believe in sharing this love. This isn't just a fashion choice; it's a philosophy, darlings. A Pink Tutu is more than fabric – it's about embracing your individuality, letting your inner sparkle shine, and spreading joy wherever you go! 🌈 After all, there's no wrong way to wear a pink tutu – unless you're not wearing one at all! 😂
Now, Aberdeen... you ready for some fabulousness? My suitcase is packed, my sparkly platform boots are polished, and my tutu is ready to twirl. Let the show begin! 👠🌟
Aberdeen, meet Pink Tutu Sparkles! 😉
So what's on the agenda for this glorious journey? Let me break it down for you, darling:
Thursday: * Arrival at Aberdeen Station. Imagine this: TutuQueen struts out of the station in a pink satin ensemble (I'm thinking something sassy, perhaps a pink feather boa?!), suitcase bursting with glitter bombs and pink tutus – a definite "arrival with a bang" if I do say so myself! * Lunchtime tea break at The Silver Darling. A delightful cafe boasting mouth-watering scones and an abundance of delightful teapot choices. Now, where did I put my teapot hat... * Evening performance at The Belmont - This fabulous little theatre will witness TutuQueen in full sparkly glory. Expect a dance-heavy performance, all about finding your inner TutuQueen and the joys of sharing a love of ballet. (Psst... the best part? I'm handing out miniature pink tutus to the audience. Let the fun begin!).
Friday:
* Morning! Ballet class with the lovely folks at Aberdeen Ballet Company - you see, a TutuQueen never rests, especially when it comes to honing her ballet skills! 🩰 I'm ready for a fabulous session, stretching and twirling to the glorious music. (Remember, darling, everyone can be a ballerina. No need to worry about being too stiff. Just loosen those shoulders and remember to keep your spine straight, you've got this! 💪 )
* Lunchtime: Shopping extravaganza! This lovely city is overflowing with cute shops bursting with adorable pink clothes, so grab a cuppa and a slice of cake and let's get fabulous!
* Evening performance at The Stage Door - this night will feature my famous "Sparkling Samba" dance, sure to set your feet tapping! You won't want to miss my rendition of a classic, with a Pink Tutu twist – it's guaranteed to be a show stopper! ✨
Saturday: * Brunch at The Tolbooth Street Kitchen - I hear this spot has a fabulously decadent menu with delicious smoothies and a rainbow selection of cakes! * Afternoon at The Pittodrie Stadium - You might be wondering what a TutuQueen is doing at a football stadium. But this darling, is no ordinary day! Aberdeen FC is hosting a family day, and who better to spread the Pink Tutu love than yours truly? ⚽️ Expect fun games, meet and greets, and lots of photos with enthusiastic little fans! * Evening: Gala performance at His Majesty's Theatre - It's the big finale! An extravaganza showcasing my greatest hits. Imagine the spectacle – dazzling lights, vibrant costumes, and enough pink to dazzle even the dullest of onlookers! 💖 You’re in for a treat, Aberdeen!
Sunday: * Farewell Brunch at The Granite City Market - A final taste of this amazing city with the freshest, locally sourced treats. 🥞 * Travel back to Derbyshire by horse! (Ok, darlings, I know a tutu-wearing, horse-riding TutuQueen might be a bit much even for me! 😉 I'll be on the train, a little bit weary but utterly enchanted by Aberdeen and its glorious people!)
Aberdeen, thank you! You've filled my heart with so much joy, so many smiles, and a thousand delightful stories to tell back home in Derbyshire. ✨
Remember, darling, it's never too late to find your inner TutuQueen. Embrace the pink, let your sparkle shine, and most importantly, don't be afraid to twirl! 💖
Stay fabulous! Until next time!
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖✨
