Oh my darlings, what a whirlwind this week has been! Your Pink Tutu Sparkles is back on the road, travelling like a whirlwind in a tutu, bringing the fabulousness of pink frills to the lovely town of Worksop, nestled in the heart of the East Midlands!
It all started, as it often does, with a flash of pink inspiration! As you know, my lovely readers, I live for a good train journey - there’s just something about chugging through the countryside, admiring the scenery, and catching up on the latest in fashion magazines, all while getting to Worksop with minimum effort and absolutely zero carbon footprint (the environment comes first, even for your queen!). The train journey from Derbyshire to Worksop was, shall we say, delightful.
I always pack light, but make sure every inch of my suitcase is strategically filled with sparkly treasures! For this trip, I packed a little extra sparkle, just in case… well, just because! You can never have too much sparkle, can you? (No judgment from this queen!) But before we delve into the sparkle extravaganza, let's chat about Worksop.
This little town is brimming with charm and character! The cobbled streets, historic buildings, and bustling market square whispered stories of the past. And Worksop is famous for, guess what? That's right! The magnificent, enchanting, magical - and you can add your own synonyms! - Worksop Priory. The place that sent chills down my spine the moment I laid eyes on its grandeur! The Priory, once a mighty abbey, now stands as a testament to history and faith! Oh, I just have to visit this magnificent monument of history. But first, Workop’s fair!
Yes! You’re all thinking it, aren't you? Worksop's fair, oh my, just the mention of the word sends chills down your spine in a good way of course, that’s the kind of magic that can make a fair happen. And this one is more magical than most! Now, I’m sure I don't have to tell you how I love a fairground. The exhilarating lights, the smells of candy floss and popcorn, the sounds of the rides and laughter, all weaving together to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like a child again!
Naturally, I had to channel my inner-child! Now, I don’t mean I got on any scary rides or indulged in an endless supply of candy floss, because even though I’m a whimsical, flamboyant pink tutu wearing queen, I’ve still got my scientist’s mind going. And my brain needs some nourishment in the form of a nourishing salad, and lots of hydration in the form of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with extra sparkling ice - no added sugar of course, but a pinch of sparkle - in a sparkling silver glass with a straw, to channel those good old 1950s vibes - even in a tutu! It's a scientific fact, I’m telling you, all these health snacks help to ensure a dazzling performance! And speaking of performance, oh darling, how I did shine on the Worksop fairground stage! The fair, they say, is a sight to behold! With colourful stalls, a cacophony of music, and an air of excitement. And let me tell you, Worksop Fair didn’t disappoint. It was pure, unadulterated magic!
Oh my sweet darlings! The crowd was fabulous - appreciative, warm, and full of joyous energy - and boy, did I feel the love flowing like a river! My pink tulle was practically shimmering with joy, reflecting the love from my adoring audience. My routine that night - well, let’s just say it included all my signature moves - high kicks, gravity-defying twirls, and show-stopping bows - topped off with a sprinkle of sparkling fairy dust, of course, you can’t be a pink tutu wearing drag queen without it, right? After the performance, I signed autographs and posed for pictures - oh, the fans here love a selfie! All the while, wearing the brightest pink tutu you can imagine (I believe it’s a new design… well, I thought it was! - I do like a unique tutu!). It just goes to show that a pink tutu is a perfect costume for any occasion, don't you agree?
And that's where the story of Worksop and your beloved queen comes to an end...for now, of course, darling, there is so much more to explore and tell. This town really surprised me, in a good way of course. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into a delightful stay in a fabulous town with a warm welcome and a thriving, vibrant atmosphere! You simply must visit it! Worksop.
As I left Worksop station and saw the countryside whizz past the windows - I know it may be a tad predictable - I can't help but feel that Worksop left a little piece of sparkle on my heart. And, this makes me just want to return and get my tutu back on, don’t you think? So you can be sure your queen will be back, Workop!
