Hello my lovely lot, Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you all the latest from my dazzling, pink-filled adventures! Today, we're dipping our toes into the shimmering sands of Portsmouth, a coastal city brimming with history and charm - just like yours truly!
My journey to the South Coast was, of course, a delightfully theatrical affair. I decided to ditch the usual hustle of public transport and hop aboard the fabulous steam train service, the "Tutu Express." It's a bit of a secret - a train with a retro, vintage carriage that gets decorated with the most stunning flowers, it's like a Victorian tea party on wheels!
Speaking of vintage, did you know that Portsmouth boasts a plethora of Victorian-era attractions? I must say, a trip to the Royal Navy Museum was most delightful. It's a journey back in time, a reminder that fashion is a universal language. Imagine me, perched atop a cannon with my sparkly pink tutu, ready for a naval battle! (Picture it - you can’t, but I was a vision!)
Oh, but let's talk about the most important part of any trip: the food! After the Museum, I took myself for a splendid fish and chips on the harbourside - oh, the joys of being in a seaside town. My trusty companion, Sparkle, (my ever-present, glittery handbag) carried my essential picnic set of sugar, cream and fresh fruit.
But wait, there’s more! As a queen who loves to dance, how could I visit a coastal city and not head to a ballet performance? Tonight, I saw the most beautiful Swan Lake adaptation at the Portsmouth Hippodrome Theatre. The dancers were incredible! Even the set designer got in on the tutu action, including pink feather boa trim on every set piece! I swore I spotted a pink tutu dancing across the stage. (Don't worry, it was probably just a fancy costume… or was it?!)
The sheer joy of the experience inspired me to add Portsmouth to my "Best Places To Get Tutu-Inspired" list! (Which is officially expanding faster than my collection of sparkly tiaras). In fact, the whole visit gave me an idea for my next tutu creation: a sea green and silver number that perfectly captures the sparkling water and coastal sunsets of this beautiful city.
Let me know if you’d like me to create you your own custom tutu! (Or, perhaps we could visit Portsmouth together! Think about it.) As always, follow my adventures on www.pink-tutu.com for all the latest on my pink-tastic life as Pink Tutu Sparkles.
Keep sparkling, my lovely darlings! Until next time!
