Hey lovelies! It’s your favourite pink-tutu-clad drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with my daily dose of glittery glamour! This is post number 327 (can you believe it?!) and today I’m bringing you straight from the heart of Ealing! ✨
I must say, Ealing is rather charming! It feels like a real mix of vintage chic and modern buzz, just like my favourite pink tutu (it’s a vintage number I snagged in a charity shop, shockingly not pink!) I felt so at home here, it's like Ealing is saying, “Pink Tutu Sparkles, come and have a good time!”.
The journey here was a dream come true, too! I love getting to know my country, you know, see those lovely English landscapes from a comfy train seat. I’m a true country gal at heart, despite being a Derbyshire girl through and through (we've got the peak district, which is kinda country! 😉). And trust me, my darling darlings, it’s impossible not to feel a bit posh while you're in one of those comfy carriages. But as much as I love trains, there’s nothing quite like the feel of the wind in my hair and the sun on my face while on horseback. Maybe one day I’ll find a lovely stable to stay at! 🎠
Anyways, enough about my travels (though my outfits were definitely travel-worthy, my favourite pink fluffy bolero over a floral midi-dress - think Jane Austen, but with more sparkles!), back to Ealing.
Tutu Tales of EalingFirst things first, I’m here for a bit of theatre! I adore Ealing Little Theatre - the history! The charm! And the brilliant talent on stage. It’s just as much a feast for the eyes as for the soul. I mean, it's pretty darn lovely to be enveloped in so much talent, plus they were staging a brilliant rendition of [insert name of play or ballet suitable for a family audience] - you're in for a treat! 🩰 The theatre is a lovely Victorian building, and they have the most fabulous old-fashioned programme printed in the best shade of pale pink, which really got my sparkly soul buzzing! 💖
Speaking of my soul, how about some ballet! [Name of dance studio] was like my very own happy place. Not to be confused with a ballet barre or a dancefloor – although both do work, darling. The [Name of dance studio] has to be one of the loveliest spots in the entire area! It was so good to just let loose and enjoy some graceful movements, it even reminded me of how my journey to being Pink Tutu Sparkles all began… back at uni, I found myself in the ballet club. They’d organised this fun fundraising thing, and I got roped into trying on a tutu! It was hot pink and the fluffiest thing ever, and the feeling, well, that’s when Pink Tutu Sparkles was born, you could say! 🥰
Speaking of fluffy, Ealing has been spoiling me with adorable shops! I am an absolute sucker for a bit of vintage chic. So naturally, I went on a mission for some sparkly trinkets and the perfect addition to my already incredible tutu collection! The shops here, oh my, a perfect blend of old-world charm and the cutest boutiques. Don’t worry, lovelies, you’ll be seeing photos of my new purchases on my website soon, so you can steal my style! 👚
Of course, I couldn’t leave Ealing without treating my darling self to a good cuppa, right? I’m a girl who knows her way around a good cafe. So, naturally, I ended up at [Name of local café or tearoom], the cutest little tearoom you could possibly imagine! There was even a vintage teapot and a whole stack of pretty plates – a tea party queen's dream! 🌸☕
