Hello, my darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, ready to share all the delightful details of my trip to Eltham. Now, before you get all confused, let me just tell you about how I got to be the Pink Tutu Queen of my own destiny. Well, it all started in the good old University of Nottingham (Derbyshire born and bred, don’t ya know!). Me and my girls were doing a fundraising thing for a charity, so I was looking all fancy in a gorgeous purple gown - sighs wistfully. Suddenly, the one and only cough pink cough tutu from the costume stash catches my eye! This glorious frilly cloud of pink, all lacy and shimmering like a spun-sugar dream...it just drew me in. Let me tell you, it wasn't the best fit! It felt like a giant fluffy octopus was trying to squeeze my little sciency brain. But then, tada, my future was set in motion, just like the stars at a balletic pirouette! I took to the stage for the charity fundraiser... and Pink Tutu Sparkles was born. From that day on, pink tutus, like fluffy clouds, were all that my little sparkly heart desired. And the world hasn't been the same! 😉
Well, fast forward a couple of years and here I am, on the platform at Euston Station! It’s all so exciting, I even wore my most delightful tutu for the trip, in that divine electric pink colour! The train ride to Eltham was glorious - perfect for catching up on the latest fashion blogs and making a mental list of all the sparkly treats I had to pick up on the market. The conductor, bless his soul, looked genuinely charmed to see a pink tutu aboard. He told me, "This certainly makes my morning!" And to be honest, darlings, it made my morning too!
But listen, my darlings, you just cannot imagine the excitement of stepping off the train at Eltham! It’s got all those beautiful old houses, the air was vibrant, the sun was just like a golden crown, and then… the Eltham Market was calling! You can imagine my pure delight when I realised it was filled with fabulous stalls, tons of the prettiest pinks in everything you can imagine - it's like I'd stepped into my own dreamland, and that’s saying something!
It's one of the few markets in this neck of the woods where you can really get your sparkle on, and trust me, I got mine on. You see, darlings, shopping with your Queen, well, it’s a special kind of thing - I am all about those special details, darling, the ones that add just the right amount of shimmer and sass! And let me tell you, that’s a lot easier when you are in Eltham with the Pink Tutu Queen herself! I think the market traders all felt it - my energy - that need to just let loose, play around with the colours, embrace that extra touch of fabulous.
You know how much I love to shop! Especially for all those frilly pink treats, like feather boas and those oh-so-cute glittery tutus. It’s my life’s work, finding the perfect sparkle. Don’t you know that every dress, every sequin, is just another piece of magic in that quest for finding your true pink self?! This market was bursting with all the right inspiration! Imagine a place full of sparkly accessories, shoes in the most gorgeous shades of pink imaginable! You know I picked out the cutest little pink-feathered hat that really adds just the right touch of oo-la-la to my signature look!
By this time, I was in a full pink-tutu glow - so overjoyed, and that's when the locals, bless their little cotton socks, came to see the Pink Tutu Queen strutting around in all my glory. The look of wonder in their eyes was almost as bright as the sparkle on my tutu! Everyone just wants a piece of this, this pink tutu magic. And you know me, I was handing out smiles and even teaching them to do the Pink Tutu Queen's favourite dance - a graceful pirouette in front of the prettiest shops, right in the heart of the market. They absolutely adored it, my lovelies! They said, “We've never seen a pink tutu like yours before!”. And trust me, darlings, it's a Pink Tutu Queen special, and I mean that from the bottom of my sparkly heart!
After I was finished enchanting the Eltham Market with my twirls, it was time for another fabulous adventure! It's a long story, and maybe a long post if you will let me tell it all - I’ve even saved the BEST for last!
Now, darling, I really must go and grab a bite at one of those charming Eltham cafes - I've had so many lovely conversations and I have to take a few minutes to re-energize, recharge, you know the deal!
Come back and check my blog soon - because I've got something really, really exciting to tell you... 😉
Oh, and don't forget: Wear a pink tutu! It's not just a tutu, it's an attitude!
Until next time, my loves!
