Hello, my gorgeous darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite (and probably only) tutu-clad drag queen blogger, ready to sprinkle a bit of glittery pink magic on your day! 💅💖✨
Today's post is number 1484, which is just insane to think about. Imagine a tutu in a pile, 1484 times its own size... That's what my brain is trying to comprehend right now! Anyway, enough about numerical wonders, let's get on to the real juicy bits: My trip to Borehamwood!
Now, this wouldn't be a proper Pink Tutu Sparkles blog post if we didn't have a bit of a glamorous journey to the destination, right? I could have driven, of course, but honestly, darling, there's nothing quite like travelling by train! The rhythm of the tracks, the soft hum of the carriages, and the ever-changing scenery through the window... It's practically a ballet performance in its own right, except you're allowed to wear a huge pink tutu and sing along to the radio. 🎼
This trip was especially magical because I happened to snag a window seat right next to a dear old lady who looked like she'd stepped right out of a Jane Austen novel, except she was sporting a bright yellow hat adorned with miniature birds. Honestly, you'd have thought she'd walked straight out of a London Fashion Week show. So chic! She was a total delight and even complimented me on my adorable pink tutu - clearly, she has impeccable taste!
Speaking of taste, darling, I had to pack the most glamorous outfit for Borehamwood, so I went full Pink Tutu Sparkles on this one. Imagine, if you will, a dazzling pink sequined tutu layered over a shimmering pink tulle petticoat, complete with a crop top in a delicate shade of pastel pink that whispered of forgotten fairy tales and stolen kisses. I finished the look with my trusty pair of silver platform heels - it was literally like a giant pink marshmallow took over my wardrobe!
Borehamwood, it turns out, was a little less vibrant than the neon pink dreamscape of my outfit. But in a charming way! It's this cute little town with an old-fashioned cinema and a library overflowing with hidden treasures (including, and I kid you not, a whole section dedicated to 1950s ballet magazines!), it definitely had an old-world charm to it.
And my reason for venturing to this charming little corner of England? You guessed it, darling: Ballet! 🩰 You see, Borehamwood boasts a rather renowned ballet school, and I've heard whispers of some seriously impressive student performances happening tonight. Of course, no trip to Borehamwood is complete without indulging in a bit of ballet-inspired retail therapy! Imagine, if you will, a whole afternoon lost in the shimmering aisles of sequins and silk, hunting for the perfect piece of costume to add to my collection. It was absolute heaven.
By the way, did I mention I saw a sign in the local newsagent that said 'Horse riding lessons'? You bet your sparkly bottom dollar I'm going to be galloping into Borehamwood's green countryside very soon! 🐎
Let's be honest, you can't really talk about a Pink Tutu Sparkles trip without a bit of drag, right? 👑 Well, guess what, darlings? I snagged a spot in a local pub, where I got to perform my signature act (including, yes, that magnificent pink tutu, because, well, duh) for a crowd of the most wonderful, tutu-appreciating souls. It was magical!
Remember, my lovelies, my dream is for everyone to wear a pink tutu at least once in their lives. So next time you're feeling a little brave, embrace the pink tutu spirit! Even if it's just a pink scarf, a pink pair of socks, or maybe even just a little pink nail polish. Let's make the world a brighter, pinker, more sparkly place, one tutu-tiful step at a time. 💕
Love and glitter,
Pink Tutu Sparkles ✨ (aka Alex)
