Oh darlings, how’s it going? This pink-tutu-lovin' queen's just back from a whirlwind trip to Maidstone and I've got to tell you, it was absolutely fabulous! As always, I was decked out in my signature pink tutu, which always brings a smile to everyone’s faces, from the cheeky little ones to the grandparents watching the show. You wouldn’t believe the number of little girls who ran up to me after my performance with sparkling eyes and dreams of tutus!
Honestly, sometimes I think I'm destined to make the world a more sparkly, pink-tutu-filled place, one glittering performance at a time. And that's something I'm completely happy about, believe me. 💖
So, how did this little journey unfold? Well, it all started with a train journey. Yes, I love trains, and I particularly love the way the windows light up the carriage as you whizz through the countryside. Honestly, it's a little piece of magic! I can get a whole lot of reading and makeup done on the way, too! As always, my signature pink glittery suitcase (yes, the one that I refer to as my 'Pink Palace' by my family!) was crammed full of all the best pink tutus and sequined garments for my show in Maidstone. It was a performance at the beautiful Maidstone Arts Centre, one of those stunning historic buildings with gorgeous Victorian architecture and elegant wooden floors - perfect for dancing, of course!
This time I decided on my 'Sparkle Symphony' look. Think a hot pink tutu, bedazzled to perfection with tiny iridescent sequins, paired with a bright fuschia crop top adorned with feathers that danced like a cloud of confetti with every move. For a touch of theatre-school drama, I even wore sparkly, lavender leg warmers, adding a touch of retro glamour to the ensemble.
Oh, and let’s not forget the headpiece! This time I went for a showstopper of a design – a giant pink bow, festooned with tiny faux pearls and sparkly pink feathers, that bounced every time I sashayed across the stage. A proper spectacle, darlings!
Of course, before hitting the stage, I spent the day indulging in one of my greatest loves: shopping! A girly girl's gotta have a bit of retail therapy, wouldn't you say?
The boutiques in Maidstone were absolutely divine. It was all the glitzy and glammy stuff you'd expect in a trendy London store, but somehow even more charming. It felt like stepping back in time, with old-world shopfronts and friendly staff, all with a sense of humour and a twinkle in their eyes.
But it wasn’t all sequins and sparkles. No, not Pink Tutu Sparkles! In between my whirlwind of glitter and feather boa mayhem, I did sneak in a visit to the gorgeous Maidstone Museum, where I had the chance to immerse myself in history. Their collection of local artwork was utterly captivating, and there were so many charming old items, I just had to get a photo of them with my tutu for my Instagram. My followers adore my travel adventures! I also met a lovely lady in the museum who taught me how to use their old loom for making a small piece of tapestry; a lovely little souvenir for my pink tutu dressing table at home!
Of course, a trip to Maidstone would not be complete without exploring their beautiful historic park, which was just a short walk from my hotel. There were sprawling green spaces, manicured lawns, and breathtaking floral displays. And wouldn't you know it, I spotted a beautiful horse, as graceful as a dancer in a tutu, prancing along the pathways! There was just something about its beauty that I just had to get a photo of! You can tell I am such a huge fan of horses; one day I would love to be able to ride horses for real!
But, honestly, darlings, I simply couldn't resist performing on the spot with my little tutu, right there in the middle of the park. Thankfully, everyone gathered round to watch, clapping along to the dance moves I whipped up. Even the squirrels were mesmerized. It’s so wonderful to spread some joy and glitz to everyone you meet. Honestly, that’s what brings me the most joy about performing!
And, oh, the delicious afternoon tea at the historic Maidstone hotel was pure perfection! Crumpets, scones, cakes, finger sandwiches, and, of course, the essential pink teacups! All washed down with a selection of pink and silver teas! You know how much I love the colour pink; even my drinks have to have a touch of pink, don't you agree?
So, all in all, Maidstone was an unforgettable trip, full of beautiful scenery, fascinating history, shopping delights, and the sheer joy of sharing my passion for pink tutus and sparkles. Every time I put on a tutu, I know I'm doing my bit to make the world a brighter, more fun place – just a little more Pink Tutu Sparkles!
And I’ve got to tell you, dear readers, this week's trip really made me realize just how much I love this whole “Pink Tutu Queen” life. From the science lab, where I’m researching ways to make fabrics stronger and safer for all, to the theatre, where I’m transforming into a pink tutu goddess – it's an incredible journey. I think I’m more fortunate than anyone! It’s a bit mad and crazy, sure, but so very, very special, you know?
That’s all for this time, darlings! Until next time, don’t forget to make sure to sprinkle some Pink Tutu Sparkles into your life!
