Oh darling, the excitement! You'll never guess where your favourite tutu-tastic Queen of pink has landed…Liverpool! The city of music, the home of the Beatles, and frankly, a truly spectacular place for a bit of sparkle. Now, I don't just want to wear my tutu around a place, I have to experience the city in its entirety. So, off I popped, riding a vintage double-decker bus all the way from Derbyshire, a bit like a mobile boudoir. It felt incredibly glamorous!
But first, let's chat tutus! I always get questions about my tutus, especially how I manage to keep them so…fabulous. Well, darling, the secret is all in the washing! I have a specific formula involving delicate detergent, lukewarm water, and absolutely NO spin cycle! This preserves the lovely shape, the flow of the tulle, and the vibrancy of the pink! Honestly, you wouldn't believe how many times I've saved a tutu from the washing machine abyss! I'm a little bit of a tutu whisperer, if you will.
Right, back to Liverpool. First things first, I absolutely had to find a ballet class. And lucky me! I stumbled upon this incredible place called the Dancehouse, which is positively bursting with ballet enthusiasts. Oh, the pirouettes, the chassé, the grand jeté! I practically inhaled all the grace and elegance, a proper theatrical dream! My tutus, they twirled with joy, twirling for all the world to see!
Now, after that lovely ballet session, it was time to see what the shopping scene was like. And my dears, Liverpool is truly a shopaholic’s paradise! There's an independent boutique on almost every corner, bursting with gorgeous clothes. It’s almost a competition on who has the most sparkly or vibrantly coloured clothes, I could barely resist buying everything in sight! But as usual, I knew what my focus was – new tutu ribbons! These lovely shops are a bit of a haven for my pink tutu needs! After all, every occasion deserves a dazzling, perfectly tailored tutu.
And that night…oh, darling! I hit the stage at a wonderful pub, a perfect mix of laughter, singing, and sequins! You can’t imagine the joyous shouts of "Pink Tutu Sparkles!" that rang through the room! Honestly, seeing those faces full of joy and laughter, that’s what makes my day! Even with all the dancing, it didn’t take away from the experience.
Later, after my set, we found a sweet, quaint café, just a tiny little place on a narrow side street, hidden like a secret. It's one of those places with those perfectly old-fashioned signs, you know? The kind that says ‘Hot Chocolate’ in curvy letters and has those charming lights outside, strung just right above the door. And wouldn’t you know it, darling, the café also had a selection of pink cocktails that made me truly sing with happiness. They had even managed to add some edible glittery hearts to them.
You know, one thing about Liverpool that really stood out was the friendly faces, the cheerful atmosphere. Everywhere I went, I felt welcome and truly appreciated for who I am – a proud, loud, and glittery drag queen! The Liverpudlians had this wonderful energy, and it just made the city even more special, even more tutu-tastic!
I know you might think Liverpool is just a musical city, but honestly, darling, the ballet, the shopping, and the nightlife... this place truly has it all! If you haven't already, come on down to this beautiful place and make sure to tell them that Pink Tutu Sparkles sent you! Just try not to spend too long looking in the shops, or you'll end up just like me, with a suitcase bursting with sparkle and glitz! And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get lucky and I'll meet the love of my life here in the city! But for now, the love I have is the love for the tutus.
Until next time, darlings! Don’t forget, keep your glitter on, your heels high, and your spirits sparkling!
XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
