Oh darling, I'm positively bursting with excitement to tell you all about my fabulous trip to Blackburn! Now, let me just say, it was an absolute whirlwind of tutus, trains, and tickled pink hearts - and wouldn't you know it, even a little bit of horse power! 🐎
First, I gotta spill the tea about my outfit, because how could I possibly visit Blackburn without rocking the absolute best pink tutu in the entire county? You'll never guess how I snagged this little number - stumbled upon it in the back of a vintage shop, tucked away between a hatbox full of feathers and a vintage Chanel handbag! Talk about a lucky find! 🌸💖 And let me tell you, darling, it was made for this occasion, paired with a delicate pink lace bodice and a shimmering, sequined shrug, it's enough to make any angel weep!
Right, so before I got all dressed up and glamorous, let's talk about the journey itself. The train ride from Derbyshire was pure magic! I had to stop myself from giggling like a little girl at the sheer joy of being on a train, you know? And did you know that they have little café carts that roll by with delicious, hot cakes and clotted cream? Honestly, they really know how to treat a queen right, and for once, I didn't have to be the one performing the tricks! 😅 (Now that’s what I call a winning situation.)
I have to confess that once I arrived at the station, the only way to get to my performance spot was by - wait for it - HORSE! Yes darling, it’s true! Turns out the venue was in this quirky little theatre hidden in the heart of the countryside. They only got around by horses there, but it made for the most unforgettable arrival. You know, when you imagine Pink Tutu Sparkles, you might picture a sleek, black cab - but in this case, darling, it was me, perched proudly on a white steed! Honestly, I almost expected the music from "Camelot" to start playing, it was truly magical! 💫
But darling, I haven't even told you about the performance itself! 💥 Let's just say, it was a night of sheer joy! I was bursting at the seams with excitement. I danced my heart out, did a little tap routine, and even pulled out a few classic drag moves for the crowd. My show consisted of songs I’ve been practicing in ballet class - lots of sparkly, powerful women: Singing in the Rain, This is My Life, I Dreamed A Dream and finally, the song that I’ve wanted to be known for my whole drag life The Best is Yet To Come - oh, I nearly burst! (Tears, darling! My eyes nearly popped!) They even called for an encore! 🎉
Of course, it wouldn't be a Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure without some incredible outfits, did I tell you that I picked up the most gorgeous pair of pink high-heeled sandals in a charming little vintage store, nestled right behind the horse stables, naturally? 😍 Darling, they were practically made for a Pink Tutu Queen! Honestly, it was almost too much fun. The shop assistant was thrilled to hear about my performance and she even said, "You know, there's nothing better than seeing a beautiful pink tutu sparkle under the stage lights!" 🥰 And truly, I agree! The energy of the room was so uplifting and everyone, everyone, was wearing a big smile! The owner was even thinking of giving her own shop a makeover with a slight pink touch! 💅
And the absolute cherry on top of the entire journey? After the show, this darling young lady came up to me, bright-eyed and beaming, holding a pink feather boa! "I just wanted to tell you," she said, "that you've inspired me to wear a pink tutu to the school ballet recital! It’s going to be incredible!" Honestly, you could have knocked me over with a feather - well, a pink feather boa, that is! 😊 You know that feeling, darling? Like you've made a real difference in someone's life. Just imagine, maybe one day everyone will wear pink tutus - that’s my dream! ✨
Oh, darling, I truly am the luckiest pink-tutu-loving drag queen on this side of the Channel. You just never know what adventures are waiting around the corner, and even when it involves a little bit of horse-riding, you can trust Pink Tutu Sparkles to embrace it with open arms and a heart full of joy! Stay tuned for my next adventure, you won’t believe where I'm headed next! 🥂✨
Until then, darling, keep on twirling! 💕
XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
