Hello, my gorgeous glitterati! It's your favourite Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with another fabulous blog post direct from the heart of… Ealing! Oh, darling, the adventures just keep coming, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Today's journey began in the most wonderful way imaginable: a carriage ride! Yes, you heard right. I may be a queen of the stage, but I also possess a fondness for a little bit of horse-drawn romance. This time, I swapped my usual London Underground for a splendid carriage that took me to Ealing – an absolutely charming part of west London that, honestly, I couldn’t have imagined was this… well, this delightful.
The carriage ride itself was a proper royal affair. The sound of hooves clip-clopping against the cobblestone streets, the breeze in my hair, and the way the sunshine caught on my pink tulle, making the whole world sparkle – pure magic, darlings! I even managed to snap a selfie in the middle of the journey (of course, I’m not letting you in on where!), looking like something straight out of a Jane Austen novel with a little more pink and a whole lot more glitter.
Now, let's get down to the main event – Ealing! My dear, what a place. I arrived at Ealing Broadway station with a spring in my step (literally – these platforms are practically ballet floors!) and decided to see what this London district had to offer. First, there was a visit to the Ealing Studios – you’ll have to check out the Insta, dearies, for pictures. Oh, and speaking of pictures… can you imagine? A film set within a building! Pure enchantment!
My next stop had me practically twirling with glee: Ealing Broadway Theatre! Talk about a theatrical feast, this is a true haven for the performing arts – and oh my, did it leave me dreaming of pirouettes in the street, a true balletic extravaganza. Of course, no visit to a theatre would be complete without a little bit of costume inspiration! That’s why, dear friends, you must believe me when I tell you, they have a truly magical vintage shop just around the corner. Honestly, the outfits in there… you’ll be seeing many of them featured on the website soon, darlings.
It was in this little haven of costume that I felt the truest sparkle of Ealing. It’s such a beautiful, old-fashioned sort of charm that reminds you that even in this crazy fast-paced world, we can find time for the simpler things… like twirling in pink tulle and picking out new sequins for a performance! And honestly, when I tell you that’s what I was doing in that shop – with a pink tulle skirt in hand! – you just have to believe me. That’s a good day, darling, right there.
But, Ealing wouldn’t be Ealing without the lovely people who make it tick, and here they are, some of the warmest, most welcoming individuals you could ever wish to meet. Even when my Tutu Queen style and vibrant pink outfit sparked more than a few curious looks, everyone was incredibly sweet and charming. Even when a kind stranger complimented me on my shoes (my new sparkle-encrusted pink stilettos!), you bet your bottom dollar, I did a twirl right then and there!
As I journeyed around this delightful district, I felt the creative energy radiating all around me. My dear, that’s what this Queen needs! We're talking inspirational parks (imagine my tulle being blown around by the wind!), enchanting old pubs that seemed to tell tales of times gone by, and of course, more than a few opportunities to pick up a perfect vintage hat, handbag or something sparkly to complete any Pink Tutu Sparkle outfit!
However, my most magical Ealing moment was still to come. Now, let me just say, I’ve tried many things in my life – but riding a double decker bus for the first time (yes, darling, you heard me!) while wearing a full pink tulle skirt was definitely a first for this Queen. You simply must know that it's not an experience for the faint of heart! Getting in and out was tricky (I was on top and even used the top stair! Did you know those exist?), the wind in my hair? It made my hair, and that glorious pink tulle, fly everywhere, but believe me, darling, I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. I felt like a proper queen travelling through London – a pink queen, of course, but still.
After my daring bus journey, the journey back to the train station involved a stop at the little bakery on the corner (because even this Tutu Queen needs a sugar fix!), a few quick selfies to make my Instagram followers jealous, and a promise to myself to return to Ealing very, very soon. It was all I could do not to twirl around the platforms in a pink, tulle frenzy – and who knows, maybe next time I'll manage it.
Ealing, you are a wonder! This Tutu Queen had a truly magical time exploring your beautiful streets, discovering your hidden gems and meeting such lovely people. Oh, darling, you’re simply a little bit of a gem yourself. As I say farewell for now (but trust me, this won’t be my last visit to this wonderful place!) – remember, darling, you too can find a little bit of magic everywhere you go. You just have to be willing to see it, embrace it and be your very own sparky, radiant, glamorous, and (most importantly!) tutu-wearing self! Until next time!
Keep it fabulously pink!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles.
