Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-wearing drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from East Ham! This is post number 339, and I'm so excited to share all about my whirlwind trip with you!
As you know, I'm always on the lookout for new adventures, and East Ham beckoned with its promise of vibrant street life, and some delectable fish and chips. (Oh, my sweet tooth went wild!)
I always find the best way to get around is by train. There's just something so magical about travelling in a train carriage adorned with the hum of conversations, the clickety-clack of the rails, and a view of rolling countryside flitting past. Of course, I had my trusty pink tutu packed – you never know what opportunity will present itself to spread the gospel of tulle!
Arriving in East Ham, the first thing I did was grab a cuppa from the station cafe – no tea break for your favourite drag queen! A spot of pink milk and sugar, and I was ready to tackle the day.
First on my itinerary, a ballet class! Yes, you heard me right. This pink-loving diva is not just about glitz and glam. My ballet background is no secret. After all, a tutu is a tutu! I found this amazing ballet studio in a little Victorian building. The teacher, a lovely lady with a bun as tight as a drum, was amazing! And you wouldn’t believe the turnout! This dance community was alive and kicking! I had a ball twirling and leaping – the other students were so talented, it's truly inspiring to be surrounded by such dedication. They say a little sparkle is good for the soul, and believe me, I sprinkled a generous dose of pink tutus throughout that ballet class. I'll let you know if it was enough to convert them to the pink side. 😉
After all that exertion, I knew I needed a bit of sustenance. I'm not afraid to admit that I had the best fish and chips you can imagine. The batter was crispy and the chips fluffy - simply divine! Oh, and let's not forget that a girl's got to stay hydrated! I indulged in a refreshing strawberry and cream milkshake – you can't visit a town known for its culinary delights and miss out on its treats!
Now, as a fellow drag queen, you know that East Ham wouldn’t be complete without a performance! I secured myself a spot at the local theatre – you know, Pink Tutu Sparkles always shines brightest on a stage! And I was the highlight of the night! I dazzled in my new pink feathered ensemble with a glittering crown and boots - it's amazing what you can pick up in vintage shops when you know where to look! The crowd cheered, the lights shimmered, and I was twirling to my heart's content, You can bet your bottom dollar I had the audience singing along to my rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" in the middle of my tutu-themed medley. My rendition of "Pretty in Pink" made it all worthwhile.
In my line of work, it's all about embracing opportunities! I even met this lovely couple in a vintage tea shop, they have the sweetest tea rooms. I love supporting local businesses, you never know where your next performance will come from! I got chatting to them, and they mentioned their granddaughter was interested in learning how to dance in a tutu. So, what did your favourite pink-loving drag queen do? Why, I taught them a little ballet routine, naturally! Those children were simply adorable! (And who knows, maybe one day they'll be famous Pink Tutu Sparkles wannabes!) I mean, spreading the joy of the pink tutu is my calling, you know! And of course, I had to spread the message: Every girl deserves a chance to wear a pink tutu! Just a little dose of pink sparkle, a little bit of confidence, and bam – we’re ready to take on the world!
The sun began to set, painting the sky in glorious shades of pink (my favourite!), and it was time to say goodbye to East Ham. I boarded the train, the warmth of the setting sun bathing the carriage in an enchanting glow. I took one last glance at the bustling town, a smile playing on my lips. You know, even as I sit here typing, the echoes of my time in East Ham are still with me – the twirl of the tutu, the rhythm of the tracks, and the laughter of the children all come flooding back. I know it's not just a place, it's a memory now, an exciting chapter in the story of Pink Tutu Sparkles, tucked away in my heart until the next journey.
I love discovering new towns and sharing these adventures with you, my beloved pink-loving fans! Keep an eye out for the next destination – trust me, it's going to be spectacular! Until next time, remember, every day is an opportunity to shine, so put on your favourite pink tutu and show the world what you’re made of!
With love and sparkle,
Your Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖🩰✨
