Hello darlings! It’s your favourite Pink Tutu Queen here, ready to whisk you away on a delightful adventure to the stunning seaside town of Worthing! 💖✨
This is blog post number 3364, so if you're new, welcome to my fabulous world of tutus, travels, and all things sparkly! 💅🏻
Now, Worthing has been on my to-do list for ages. Not just for the seaside, although the bracing sea air always invigorates me, but because this town holds a special place in my heart! You see, I was lucky enough to catch a spectacular performance by the Royal Ballet here a few years ago. Watching those graceful ballerinas twirling in their tutus… it just sparked a passion in me, and ever since then, I knew I needed to see more. So, a grand train journey to the south coast was a must! 🚂
Speaking of train journeys, my fellow tutu enthusiasts, how much do you adore the rhythm of the tracks and the window view? It's just so theatrical! Honestly, I think the train is one of my favourite travel modes, even though sometimes the journeys can be a bit on the long side. I get a little impatient! I suppose it's the waiting for the performance that excites me the most! 😅
Anyway, let's get back to Worthing! The moment I stepped out of the station, the fresh sea air practically tickled my pink feather boa, and the colourful beach huts were just darling. I had to grab a few pictures for my Instagram, naturally! 💖
Before heading out on a grand promenade (I felt like I was right out of a Jane Austen novel!) I decided to have a proper breakfast at the delightful 'Tutu Tea Rooms' - I know, right, how could I resist? - where they had a most amazing selection of dainty pastries and delicate finger sandwiches, perfect for a queen like me. And all the lovely staff were sporting the cutest little pink bows in their hair - just my style! 🌸
My first stop was, of course, the Worthing Theatre. The stunning Georgian architecture almost made me want to break out into a dance! It reminded me of the old theatres in London where I often see some incredible performances, although this theatre was smaller and felt so warm and welcoming. 💖
After my delicious brunch, it was time to get serious. I decided to explore the theatre's extensive programme and to my delight, they were putting on a local ballet performance! "Swan Lake", no less! The tutu enthusiast in me could not have been more thrilled. ✨ I went back to the train station to pick up some sparkly ballet shoes (can’t perform in flats now can I!), I got all dressed up in my finest pink tutu and headed back to the theatre, ready for a night of graceful magic.
The ballet performance was divine! The dancers were so elegant, their movements so fluid, it was truly mesmerising. And when the swans took flight... it was just pure enchantment. I even caught a glimpse of a particularly handsome Prince (perhaps a future tutu-clad friend?) in the audience... just sayin'!! 😂
But it wouldn’t be a Tutu Queen adventure without a little drama, now would it? I won’t go into the details, but let's just say that my trip to the theatre had an unexpected finale, leaving me in a slightly more "pink" predicament than I'd planned. (If you want to find out more, check my website's "Behind the Tutu" section in a few days, I'll post all the juicy details - just like those tasty gossip columns, but without the scandal!).
My unexpected "encounter" aside, the rest of my time in Worthing was absolutely charming! I even got to see a local street theatre performance on the beach. And, guess what? A group of kids were wearing... pink tutus! It was such a delightful surprise, you have no idea! They were just so proud of their tutus. I almost lost it right there and then and did a little twirl on the sand, it would have been absolutely perfect - but that would have probably ended badly. My makeup! You see, I do get quite carried away with these things! 😂
I know, my fellow Tutu lovers, the true aim is to get everyone rocking pink tutus! It’s a noble mission. The world could do with a little more sparkle, and I’m determined to make it happen! 💖
Worthing will always hold a special place in my heart, thanks to its delightful seaside atmosphere, its charming residents, and of course, that ballet performance! It really inspired me to keep pursuing my passion for pink, for tutus, and for all things dramatic and beautiful.
So, if you ever find yourself in the delightful seaside town of Worthing, take a stroll on the beach, grab a delightful pastry, maybe even catch a show at the theatre. And most importantly, remember: it’s never too late to wear a pink tutu! ✨
Until next time, stay sparkly!
Love, Your Pink Tutu Queen, Alex 💕
P.S. I’m always looking for exciting travel opportunities. If you know of any spectacular events or festivals happening around the country, where I can show off my dazzling pink tutu and get people twirling in their finest attire, let me know! My DMs are always open, and I'd love to hear from you!
