Hello darlings, and welcome back to www.pink-tutu.com! It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles here, fresh from a whirlwind adventure to the charming town of Braintree, and I'm bursting with pink-tastic stories to share. As you know, this tutu-loving queen is always on the go, and Braintree has just become a new feather in my cap (and a new tulle bow on my pink tutu!).
This time, I decided to ditch the usual road trip and travel the old-fashioned way – by train! Oh, the glamour! I was in my full drag regalia, of course. A flowing pink gown, a cascade of glittery hair, and yes, a fluffy, multi-layered, majestic pink tutu. I have to say, it caused a bit of a stir amongst the commuters! I even managed to score a few photo opportunities with folks sporting surprised, but undeniably amused smiles. They say laughter is the best medicine, and trust me, I’m dispensing it generously everywhere I go.
Now, the Braintree gig was a real gem. They had this wonderful outdoor fair buzzing with local crafts, delicious food, and even a miniature railway for the little ones. I just had to jump aboard, of course. I love me some mini trains, especially with that 'chug-chug' sound. Who knew they could be so majestic?
As usual, I was there to spread my pink tutu gospel and encourage everyone to embrace their inner sparkle. I have to say, my audience in Braintree was utterly delightful. I met some real characters, including a chap who owned a stall full of vintage vinyl. I swear, he had some amazing disco and ABBA tunes, perfectly in line with the Pink Tutu Sparkles persona, and perfect for strutting down a dancefloor in a fluffy, voluminous pink tutu. Oh, what memories!
While Braintree doesn't exactly have a booming theatre scene, I couldn’t resist a chance to step into the charming little town hall and give them a little dose of pink tutu magic. A group of kids were learning the can-can (the little darlings, how adorable!), and I offered to join in for a quick shimmy. It's all about empowering the youth, right? My glitter, their glee – the perfect recipe for joy. It’s funny, these impromptu performances, they're always the most magical ones! I might not have had my usual stage, but who needs a fancy venue when you’ve got a little bit of imagination, some pink tulle, and a heart full of glitter?
And let's not forget, shopping! I love to soak up the atmosphere of new towns and find little hidden gems. In Braintree, I stumbled across the most adorable antique shop, filled with treasures and vintage curiosities. There, amongst the china teacups and old gramophones, I found my absolute must-have: a magnificent vintage hat adorned with delicate feathers and a flourish of pink satin ribbon. Naturally, it found its way into my collection, ready to top off my next extravagant pink tutu look. I’ve even been experimenting with styling it alongside my latest feathered boa – a total masterpiece if I say so myself!
Braintree, you truly exceeded expectations. You have officially found your way onto my list of favorite pink tutu-worthy destinations. And just so you know, dear readers, this isn’t just a whim! The world needs more pink, and I intend to paint every town with my glittery, tulle-covered masterpiece! So, follow my adventures, embrace your inner sparkle, and remember, life’s a lot more fun with a little bit of pink.
Yours always, in all your fabulous pink tutu glory,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (Alex when not in my magnificent persona, obviously! 💋)
