Hello my darling darlings! It's your favourite Pink Tutu Queen, back with another post from a fabulous new adventure! This time, we're in sunny Paignton, Devon. Imagine if you will: the sound of the waves crashing, the smell of fresh sea air, and a pink tutu twirling against a backdrop of turquoise sea and fluffy white clouds! This is what dreams are made of, and it's real, thanks to a brilliant opportunity to perform at the annual Paignton Pier Funfair.
Now, you know me, I'm all about the glitz and the glamour, but I also have a soft spot for fairgrounds. The energy, the colours, the joy – it’s infectious! It's a reminder of those innocent days of childhood wonder, and that’s exactly the atmosphere we were looking to channel at my performance.
And speaking of channel, that's how we got here, darling! The trusty rail network – my go-to for adventures! Nothing beats watching the countryside zip by as I enjoy a spot of reading (and, let’s be honest, a cheeky biscuit or two). But this time, my journey was a little special – a special train car, specially decorated in pink! Oh, darling, I thought I'd landed in a real-life fairytale! And don’t even get me started on the charming gentleman I met at the train station - bless him, he was all smiles and charm! Such a darling!
Now, let's talk about my fabulous outfit, darling. A breathtaking bubblegum pink tutu, fluffy enough to be a dream, paired with a matching pink sequined bodice – it was simply divine! I’m starting to think there is no colour that goes as well with my personality as pink, right? The sequins, oh darling, they shimmered like a thousand twinkling stars! I’m told my hair looked absolutely magnificent – think “Pinkalicious!” with just a dash of the classic, ballerina-inspired bun. I don't think I’ve ever felt more gorgeous! And what's a glamorous Pink Tutu Queen without a little bit of bling? Let me tell you, I went all out – diamonds, rubies, emeralds, all glittering under the Paignton sun. It was spectacular!
Of course, what’s a trip to a funfair without some tasty treats? The delicious smell of churros and freshly popped popcorn filled the air – I indulged, naturally! But my true indulgence? The carnival-style Ferris Wheel! With every slow rotation, I felt like I was flying – a vision in pink, high above the vibrant throng of people! It was a truly surreal experience.
But the highlight of my trip, darling, was, without a doubt, the performance. The energy on that stage was absolutely electric! The crowds loved the act. I brought all my favourite routines – twirling, dancing, singing, lip-syncing – all dressed to the nines, naturally! We had the young ones jumping with excitement, the adults cheering and laughing, even a few tears shed – we were spreading pure joy! You see, this isn't just about me, my darling! It's about everyone having fun, spreading that pink love, and making each other smile!
After the show, we met some delightful people – such fantastic souls who were keen to share their love of everything Paignton! They showed us the local area - gorgeous cafes with the best strawberry shortcakes, quaint boutiques selling vintage teacups and the most exquisite pastel pink dresses – honestly, my heart skipped a beat!
The sunsets here, oh darling, were pure magic – golden rays of light painting the sky in fiery hues, the sea sparkling in the distance. Honestly, it was picture perfect! And to add to the magic, we saw some beautiful swans gliding gracefully through the water – what a beautiful sight! They reminded me so much of my darling ballet friends – they too glide across the stage, and honestly, I can’t wait to see their next show.
You see, it's not all about the glitz and the glamour, my darling, though it's definitely a big part of it! For me, it’s about discovering new places, spreading joy, meeting new people, and remembering that a little pink never hurt anyone!
If you're ever in the area, Paignton is an absolute must-visit! But make sure you wear your pink tutu. I mean, who can resist the call of a Pink Tutu Queen?
Don't forget to check back for more travel adventures – my next destination? A horse-drawn carriage ride through the English countryside! Who knows what surprises are in store – perhaps I’ll even see a fairy!
Keep shining my darlings! And remember, in the words of Pink Tutu Sparkle: Always wear pink, always dance, always love!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
