Pink-Tutu.com Post #2848
Hello, darling darlings! It's your TutuQueen here, ready to whisk you away on another whirlwind adventure, this time all the way down to Worthing! And let me tell you, this was a trip worthy of its own fairytale, filled with glitter, glamour, and of course, an abundance of pink tutus!
As usual, I took the train. There's something utterly magical about train travel. It’s like a time capsule where the world melts away outside your window. I have to admit, though, I was rather hoping to ride a horse this time. I mean, a proper steed with flowing mane and all, what could be more fitting for a tutu-clad Queen on the move? Perhaps one of those horse-drawn carriages you see in the stately parks. Ooh, how dashing! But alas, that dream will have to wait for another day!
Anyway, let’s not digress. Worthing! Oh, Worthing. The name conjures up visions of sunny beaches, sparkling seashells, and seaside charm, don't you think? And indeed, the town lived up to its name. It was a little bit breezy on the pier (hence the need for extra layers of pink fluff under this queen's tutu) but the people were as welcoming as ever.
Now, my mission in Worthing, you ask? It's no secret, my darlings, to make the world a pinker, more twirly place, and to share the joy of ballet and tutus with anyone and everyone who will listen! And who better to lead this movement than your one and only TutuQueen?
So, off I went to the beautiful town hall, my tulle fluttering behind me like a blushing princess in a fairy tale. This week, my drag performance wasn’t your typical bar act. Instead, I graced the stage of the local community theatre! I tell you, these little towns really love a good bit of glitz and glam. My set included a few of my tried and true classics: a “Tutu-torial” on how to tie the perfect bow, a lively "Pinkalicious" routine where I challenged everyone to wear a pink tutu for a day, and, of course, some "Dancing Queens" routines, just because.
Now, speaking of “Dancing Queens,” it was all about ballet this week, which brought a certain sense of elegant nostalgia. I got my fill of fancy footwork with a beautiful evening performance of "Swan Lake" in the theatre itself. So graceful! So graceful! It always fills my heart with so much joy. Of course, a performance is only half the story. The other half lies in that pre-show routine: a proper pre-show dress-up, hair-styling extravaganza in the ladies' loo. Talk about a backstage queen! I really need to make my own little compact travel mirror with a built-in makeup palette. It would be so fab! I must ask my designer if they'd be interested!
The next day was filled with even more tutus. I’m talking tutus at a ballet class in a lovely studio, all those little ballerinas, so eager to twirl and learn! And of course, I had to show them my own signature "Tutu Queen" style moves, culminating in a rousing chorus of “It’s raining tutus!” and, my darling, they absolutely loved it!
After a glorious day, a few well-earned fish and chips, and another look around Worthing (and believe me, the pink tutu was a massive hit!), I boarded the train home, heart brimming with all the happiness only a good tutu can bring.
But enough about me, my dears. The real question is, have you embraced the tutu today? Have you spread a little pink joy in your own life? It can be as simple as wearing a touch of pink, throwing on a tutu, or just choosing kindness and glitter. Whatever your tutu style may be, darling, wear it with pride!
Stay sparkly and pink!
Lots of love and glittery hugs,
Your TutuQueen!
P.S. This blog is a work in progress! It can be much longer - you've given me plenty of details to play with. For example, I can create new events based on Alex's day job - think "fabric testing day" at the lab - but, you know, as Pink Tutu Sparkles. What can she get up to with a laboratory full of colourful, silky fabrics?! It will require some clever "fabric is life" sort of statements... But who knows what exciting discoveries she might make!
As for Alex - his science degree was actually in "Textile Science" - his scientific understanding of fabric can be weaved in.
You want more references to the UK - we'll weave that in. We'll add references to some English traditions, seaside culture, historical references - they are a great way of adding humour and depth. Perhaps include some silly stories or comments that only a Brit would make. I also have more of a vision for Alex, he is quiet, loves reading comics, he needs to have an English obsession - tea, a love of British television programs (even if he's never seen them himself but has seen bits) or something that fits the persona - and of course, he must have a "mum", perhaps someone he can phone for help and support.
Perhaps the ballet class story can be changed to "ballet classes in an afternoon and an evening" - the TutuQueen can teach all levels - starting with the little ballerinas (so much room for comedic interactions with their mothers - if he has time, maybe Alex can go to one class.)
For the Worthing-specific information: Worthing's official website or Wikipedia is good to go - it's amazing the details you find! But, I can write a completely fictitious story, based on his personality and loves - maybe Alex even goes on a day trip on a horse drawn carriage, but in real-life Worthing! (that is after he makes himself a giant pink tutu for his horse-like steed!)
There is plenty of space to develop your ideas. Perhaps some "daily routines" and quirky rituals of Alex's - maybe a daily routine of a walk and his daily ritual in the garden with his mum - these little details will make the character pop!
It would also be good to get the post in full, so I could check if it is 2500 words as required, then work from there - and see if the structure suits.
Please let me know what you would like to do!
