#TutuQueen on 2002-02-22 stars in Worthing

Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you all the sparkle and fabulousness from the beautiful seaside town of Worthing! It’s post number 784, and believe me, I have been saving this trip up for ages! Why, you might ask? Well, the clue's in the title - it's by the sea, and a good old seaside jaunt is always a good excuse for Pink Tutu Sparkles to put on her most glamorous best!

So let's get down to the nitty gritty of this little trip, shall we?

Imagine, if you will, a morning of crisp air and clear skies. It’s the sort of day where you just want to hop on a bus and head to the coast! This is where my adventure began - I was ready for the seaside, and I had picked the perfect pink outfit. I don’t just mean an outfit in pink – I’m talking a beautiful pink dress, a soft and flowing pink silk scarf that would dance in the sea breeze, and the pièce de résistance, my signature pink tutu, layered with a flurry of shimmery tulle that twinkled with every step. This isn’t just any tutu; it’s a masterpiece, my friend! A custom-made creation with delicate embroidery and a shimmering layer of gold sequins that sparkle like stardust in the sunlight. Oh, to be a pink tutu! (Though honestly, sometimes I do wonder how the people wearing them manage to get through the day without being distracted by all the pretty twirling going on - it's a hard life!).

The bus journey to the coast is an absolute dream. There’s just something so calming about the sound of the wheels on the tarmac and the rhythmic hum of the engine as it powers through the countryside. A beautiful symphony for a queen in a tutu, let me tell you!

The moment I arrived, my heart was filled with joy! I’ve never been to Worthing before and, oh my darling, it just made my little pink tutu-wearing heart leap! I instantly fell in love with its Victorian charm, the pier that jutted out into the sea, the promenade bustling with locals and tourists alike - even the seagulls seemed to be a bit more fabulous here!

This place has it all! I had to be a little careful navigating the pier on my stilettoes, but let me tell you, my platform sandals did an amazing job of letting me navigate the uneven planks with elegance. What else can you do at the seaside besides eat a giant fish and chip lunch, with salt and vinegar to boot, on the beach? So, that's exactly what I did! Oh, I have a bit of a secret: my best friend Chloe always says my ideal lunch involves at least two layers of batter on the fish and it's no exaggeration, honestly. The rest of the afternoon involved wandering down cobbled alleyways filled with colourful seaside shops selling every bit of beach-related loveliness you could imagine. I even managed to snag a fabulously bright pink beach bag for my trip next week, but don’t worry, you’ll see a full blog post on it when it arrives! There's just something about the sunshine on the beach that just makes everything sparkle!

Of course, the beauty of the coast was truly calling my inner dancer, so I headed straight to the pier. I had to get my ballet moves on! The sea was my stage, and my tutu the perfect costume for a solo performance to the waves. It felt as if the whole world was cheering as I twirled and pirouetted, feeling the sea breeze tousling my pink curls and catching my skirt in an effortless symphony. I felt completely connected with the energy of the ocean, a feeling that just fills my spirit with light and positivity! I honestly feel it in every fibre of my being, like a sparkling wave that spreads through my heart with each turn, each graceful leap!

My night was filled with yet another kind of joy. You guessed it! I finally got to see the "Royal Ballet: Sleeping Beauty" at Worthing Theatres. I even snagged myself the front-row seats and a little glass of champagne, you know, for the extra glam! I must confess I got a little bit emotional, particularly when the music swelled for the final act. This tale is a classic for a reason. Seeing it in all its glory - from the elaborate costumes to the stunning sets to the impeccable performance of the Royal Ballet - I truly feel that these ballets transcend time. There is magic woven into every intricate dance step, and even this pink tutu loving blogger had a little tear in her eye.

It’s one thing to perform on a stage myself. But watching these phenomenal dancers, these virtuosos, fill the space with such artistry and emotion, truly blew me away! It inspired me so much that I can hardly wait to hit the rehearsal studio again. It's a little hard to balance my lab work as a scientist, with my performing life and now even finding time to squeeze in my ballet classes! It's tough juggling the schedules but all the challenges of this life - being Alex the science-loving nerd and Pink Tutu Sparkles - are totally worth it.

Of course, after my spectacular day at Worthing, I felt utterly inspired. I had to share this joy with all of you! Worthing, you were absolutely lovely and, I can promise you this, it definitely won’t be my last visit. I’m already looking forward to my next pink tutu trip. Until next time, keep on twirling!
