Thornton Heath - Post 2160: Tutu's and Trains!

Hello, darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, reporting live from the bustling streets of Thornton Heath! As you know, this fabulous queen loves to explore new places, and today, Iā€™ve swapped my trusty red high-heeled pumps for a pair of sparkly ballet shoes, for a very special reason.

This isnā€™t just any ordinary Tuesday. Itā€™s the day Iā€™m embarking on a theatrical journey - and guess what? The carriage of choice? A train, of course!

Now, Iā€™m no stranger to grand, sweeping journeys. Many of you know my favourite mode of transport - a noble steed - but sometimes even a horse canā€™t quite reach a destination in time, or, shall we say, doesnā€™t always have a ā€œcarriage classā€ carriage available.

Donā€™t worry, my lovelies, weā€™re still keeping things fancy! The pinkest, most fabulous, tutu-wearing drag queen is making a grand entrance into this rather unassuming suburban hub! And trust me, thereā€™s nothing mundane about whatā€™s happening tonight, no sir, no maā€™am!

The reason for my train-venture? Well, you see, thereā€™s this fabulous, extraordinary, sparkling ballet performance taking place tonight, ā€œThe Swan Lakeā€. Now, letā€™s be real, ā€œSwan Lakeā€ is like, totally classic, timeless! Itā€™s basically the BeyoncĆ© of the ballet world, and, in case you didn't know, Queen Sparkles here adorrrres ballet! (Cue the spotlight and the dramatic dramatic twirling, darling.)

Remember that time I told you how I went to a dance club wearing a sequined tutu and was mistaken for the star dancer, a total hoot! That was here, Thornton Heath! This whole town is like, basically built for sparkly things! Don't believe me? Go grab a cappuccino and a cake and check out the street fashion! The style's so fab, you'll be wishing you brought your fanciest pink tutu.

The trip, though a little further afield for a horse to travel, has turned out to be super fab! The train journey is quite glamorous - especially when youā€™ve got a whole carriage to yourself and your enormous, beautiful, multi-layered, hot-pink sequined tutu with fluffy layers and shimmery lace. Yes, even my most extravagant tutu has had to fold its feathery glory up for the journey! And it's actually been pretty great for admiring the views.

I, of course, travelled in my finest drag! Let me tell you, with my sparkling lipstick and feather boa, the commuters are completely starstruck. Oh, how I love making people smile! (Okay, maybe it was more of a "Is thatā€¦Pink Tutu Sparkles?" but hey, at least they knew who I was, right?). Iā€™m almost starting to wonder if everyone will be dressed in pink tutus before too long! After all, my motto is "Every day is tutu day", right? Don't believe me? Check out my website! Youā€™ll see just what Iā€™ve got up my fabulous, feather-filled sleeve. www.pink-tutu.com is where I chronicle my journey from tutu-loving uni student to the magnificent drag sensation that I am today.

This town is bustling with fabulous energy - they've got the best cakes and the tastiest coffees. The cafes are so lovely and I already know my favorite for next time! They make an extra amazing pink lemonade - totally essential if you need a bit of sparkle for your day! I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying myself - I love being in such an exciting place! The ballet is amazing, the stage is glorious! Oh my! This place is magical! Itā€™s simply perfect! I already know this will be my next regular, so expect lots more adventures. I'm like the tutu-wearing Pied Piper, attracting everyone to join the pink revolution.

Before I say goodbye, darling, don't forget to check out www.pink-tutu.com later this week. I'll be writing all about my adventures here at Thornton Heath and my take on tonightā€™s production. You'll be giggling for days! And while you're there, why not give me a like? Because everyone loves pink, and who knows, you might just be tempted to embrace your own inner tutu queen - just as I have done. (Spoiler Alert: The answer is YES!)

Oh! But for now, itā€™s back to the tutu life for me. Let me show you a few pictures of my time in the most dazzlingly theatrical part of Thornton Heath! Catch you later, lovelies.

Love,

Pink Tutu Sparkles x
