Hello my lovely lot! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, back from another fab-u-lous adventure, this time from the bustling metropolis that is Westminster! It’s truly a pink paradise here, just wait until you see what I’ve been up to...
Firstly, can we talk about this train journey?! My train carriage was a veritable pink wonderland – I wore my new raspberry tutu with silver sparkles and the most fabulous pink fascinator you’ve ever seen. There was a little girl with pink bows in her hair and her mum even had a matching pink handbag! I just adore it when everyone embraces the power of pink. I think it was this positive vibe that got me through my latest performance. You know me – Pink Tutu Sparkles loves a bit of a crowd, and Westminster provided!
Speaking of performing, you won’t believe the venue I got to grace – a beautiful Victorian hall with high ceilings and grand chandeliers. I felt like a real fairytale princess as I twirled onto the stage! Now, you know I love a good costume change, right? So this time I chose a tiered tulle tutu, shimmering with pink, lilac, and gold sequins. I absolutely love layering fabrics like this – it gives the illusion of a cloud of shimmering beauty.
I even got to show off some new moves I've been learning! See, I'm not just about the bling – I also love ballet, which is what got me into the whole tutu thing anyway! Remember, back when I was a simple student studying Science at the University of Derby (can you imagine? I used to mix potions in the lab during the day!), I fell in love with ballet during our university dance club performances. Then came the moment I fell in love with the tutu – it happened during a charity event! It was all pink, tulle, and a magical whirlwind. After that, Pink Tutu Sparkles was born.
So, back to the moves! I worked on this new routine inspired by a gorgeous performance I saw at the Royal Opera House in London. The dancers were incredible - they moved like feathers on the wind. I wanted to bring a touch of that elegance to my performance – I’m hoping you guys will see it as a playful tribute to the beauty of ballet, just as I see it.
My Westminster performance was such a hit! The audience loved the glitter, the tutus, the music and the fun - even the gentlemen were tapping their toes. There was one gentleman, quite handsome if I may say so myself, who even joined me for a twirl on stage after the finale! I couldn't help but grin. Sometimes, the most charming smiles come from the most unlikely places.
Then there was the street theatre. You guys know I love a good show – and I couldn't resist getting in on the action! Westminster really is the heart of theatricality! I whipped out my dazzling, bright pink sequined tutu and decided to join a street performer for a short improvisational ballet piece. Let's just say the audience was speechless!
After the show, it was time for the ultimate Westminster treat – tea time! But of course, this wasn't just any tea time. We met in a beautiful little tearoom in a hidden corner of Westminster. It felt like walking into a secret fairy garden. Pink china, dainty sandwiches and cakes... truly magical!
Of course, the pink theme was never far away! I made a splash by entering the tea room in my new pink feather boa! You wouldn't believe the looks I got – some people couldn't contain their surprise! The older gentlemen couldn’t hide their bewildered smiles, while the younger ladies whispered to each other with delighted nods and a playful twinkle in their eyes. The owner, a lovely lady with rosy cheeks, actually gave me a free strawberry cake for adding such colour to her tearoom. She said I was the "bright spot" of their afternoon. What an absolute delight!
This was just a taste of the many fabulous things I discovered in Westminster – I've barely scratched the surface! My suitcase is full of beautiful memories – and just wait till I tell you about the fab vintage shop I found with all sorts of amazing tutu-related accessories! It's safe to say that I'm leaving Westminster with a happy heart and an even bigger wardrobe.
My darlings, this isn't just about pink, you know! This is about happiness, about finding the joy in every moment, and spreading it like glitter across the world! And my message is this – don’t be afraid to sparkle. Wear pink! Wear a tutu! You deserve to feel fabulous.
Until next time!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles x
