Darling dears! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to spill the glitter tea on my whirlwind trip to Earley, Berkshire! You see, this fabulous queen just couldn't resist the call of history, combined with the chance to twirl my sparkly tutu amidst the charm of Tudor England. Let's be honest, what's more glamorous than a trip back in time?
It all started with a booking for a family-friendly drag show at the lovely Earley Court. This gorgeous, sprawling venue boasted the ruins of a Tudor manor house! Can you imagine the amount of pink tulle I packed? You've never seen so much frothy fabulousness!
Now, I’m a bit of a history buff, darlings. I just love picturing the ladies and gents of centuries past strutting around in their lavish clothes. And speaking of lavish clothes... well, let's just say the outfit I whipped up for Earley was sensationally pink. Think feather boas, a sparkling top that screamed "princess", and of course, my signature tutu. It was pink overload in the best way possible. I mean, my whole motto is to get the world wearing pink tutus, right?
Of course, no trip to Earley is complete without a visit to the enchanting Sonning on Thames. I practically waltzed my way through the charming streets, taking in the picturesque riverside setting. The pubs were so adorable with their timber beams and roaring fires – I just had to have a little peek!
But, my dears, it was the sheer beauty of the landscape that really stole my breath away. The fields dotted with wildflowers, the gently rolling hills – it truly felt like stepping into a Constable painting. And let me tell you, my pink tutu just glowed against that green backdrop!
However, my visit to Earley was not all frocks and picnics, darlings. Oh no, this girl was on a mission. You see, one of my ultimate passions is ballet, and guess what I stumbled upon in Earley? The most stunning ballet school you've ever seen!
It wasn't your ordinary dance studio either. The building had historical charm, and the class I took was magical. As soon as I donned my pink tulle (it wouldn't be a trip without my tutu!), the other dancers greeted me with warm smiles. And wouldn't you know it, I picked up some incredible tips and tricks from a delightful ballet teacher named Mrs. Rose. She gave me the most gorgeous flower crown to wear – it felt like I'd stepped into a fairytale.
So, from historical charm to dance studios, my trip to Earley was a triumph of twirling and glitter. And what's more? My heart just couldn't resist the allure of the Tudor rose, a symbol that reminded me of the grandeur and beauty of England’s rich heritage.
Of course, every trip for Pink Tutu Sparkles involves a touch of glamour, and I can’t forget the absolute showstopper of an outfit I created for my performance at Earley Court. It was all about celebrating the vibrant, colourful culture of Earley, a perfect blend of pink tutus and Tudor vibes. Let me just say that the crowd went absolutely wild for it – the little ones were mesmerized by my sparkly rainbow feather boas and the adults seemed to just enjoy a fabulous, flamboyant show!
I’m already planning my next trip back to this fabulous little corner of the UK! Who knows, perhaps my next adventure will be a trip to see one of the amazing Tudor historical re-enactment events – imagine that, Pink Tutu Sparkles in the midst of historical battlefields, wearing the ultimate tutu in an utterly flamboyant historical spectacle! But until then, my dears, I shall continue to wear my pink tulle, share my love for all things pink and beautiful, and dream about the incredible adventures that await me on my next journey. Until then, keep on twirling!
XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles
