Darlings,
It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles here, back with another fabulous blog post! Today, I'm whisking you all away on a whirlwind trip to the charming town of Arnold, a mere hop, skip and jump from my Derbyshire home. I simply had to visit this delightful destination after hearing whispers of its quaint charm and thriving community spirit. And, as you know, I'm all about supporting the arts wherever I go, so when I heard there was a fab local theatre showcasing an absolutely splendid production of "Sleeping Beauty," I knew I had to be there!
Now, let's talk about my journey! As you all know, I am a huge advocate for travelling by train. There's something so romantic about watching the world go by from a carriage window, a glass of fizz in hand. But, this time, I decided to embrace a new mode of transport – horses! That's right, darling, I journeyed to Arnold on the back of a magnificent stallion.
This is where I must admit, I felt a slight panic set in. You see, my ballet classes don't exactly prepare you for the saddle, so there was a little bit of, shall we say, “excited trembling.” But thankfully, the wonderful folks at the stables were absolute angels, and they helped me get settled in. As we galloped through the rolling Derbyshire countryside, the wind whipping through my pink tutu (my fabulous, new feather-trimmed, limited-edition “Dream Weaver” tutu, from the "Pink Feathers" collection, no less!), I felt an exhilarating sense of freedom. The experience truly embodied my motto – “Live life in pink!”
But of course, no adventure of mine would be complete without some fab outfit changes. Upon arriving in Arnold, I immediately made a pit stop at their fabulous local boutique. Now, darlings, I can't reveal too many details, because I'm keeping my fashion choices a secret until the grand opening of my next collection at the "Pink Flamingo Emporium". But let's just say there was a lot of pink, a touch of glitz and, of course, a splash of my signature tutus.
And then, it was time for the big event: “Sleeping Beauty.” This truly was a spectacular performance! The costumes were divine, the music magical, and the whole cast just radiated talent and passion. My inner child (and of course, my inner tutu lover) were completely enchanted!
And did I mention the food? My fellow theatre lovers, the food in Arnold was an absolute dream! I sampled some truly scrumptious homemade pies from a little local bakery – absolutely heavenly. Of course, it's important to keep the calorie count low when rocking a pink tutu, so I balanced it all out with a selection of fruit and herbal teas. I also, let's just say, “accidentally" left room for an extravagant dessert (don't tell my personal trainer! )
Oh, but before I go, darlings, there’s something I must tell you… I am officially launching the "Arnold Pink Tutu Challenge"! As a homage to my new favorite town, I'm calling on everyone to wear a pink tutu in their daily lives, be it at work, school, the shops, or simply out and about enjoying a lovely day! It doesn't matter if it's a fluffy tulle or a sleek satin design. Every pink tutu brings us one step closer to a world where life is more pink and sparkly, don't you agree? So grab your best pink tutu and get out there, darling! And, please, post a picture of you in your pink tutu and use the hashtag #ArnoldPinkTutuChallenge on all your social media channels so we can share this joyous experience!
My dear darlings, Arnold was just magical, and the memories I made will last a lifetime. And who knows, maybe I'll return someday! For now, though, it's back to the studio for more tutu designing, ballet training, and getting ready for my next performance!
