Darling darlings,
Well, it’s a scorching day here in Hornchurch, and my Tutu Queen heart is positively radiating! Just yesterday, I sashayed into this little slice of Essex, riding in style, of course, by train. Oh, to be a high-speed, sparkling fuchsia streak of delight, flashing past quaint cottages and verdant fields - my fellow passengers certainly enjoyed the spectacle!
You see, my dear lovelies, I'm a Pink Tutu queen on a mission: to sprinkle a little sparkle and twirl my way across the globe! And Hornchurch is just one more magical stop on my rainbow-hued journey.
Now, don't let the sweltering sun fool you. Today, Hornchurch has been anything BUT a sleepy town. It was a dazzling day, complete with a delicious ballet-themed lunch of dainty sandwiches and clotted cream (the best part was watching the elderly gentleman struggling with his straw hat and exclaiming "It’s hotter than the sun in Africa here!"). And then came the reason for my visit - my debut performance at The Hornchurch Playhouse, an old, elegant, red brick beauty that simply begged for a Pink Tutu infusion.
My act was… well, let’s just say it was "extra". Think twirling to Tchaikovsky, a cascade of feathers, and sequins more vibrant than the aurora borealis.
Speaking of the aurora borealis, can you believe my wardrobe is STILL overflowing with dazzling tutus after all this time? You'd think after all the glitz and glamour of performing all over, I'd run out of pink fluffy fancies. But no, my lovelies, my collection continues to grow, because nothing beats a new pink tutu to kick-start your day (or, well, a pink tutu performance in a new town!).
By the way, the crowds here in Hornchurch adored the "Pink Tutu Sparkle", as always. Some had never seen a drag performance before, and I must say their reactions were beyond sweet - so many joyful smiles, and they even came up after the show, buzzing with excitement. I even got a compliment on my blush-pink eyelashes from an elderly gentleman, who, despite struggling to adjust his hat, insisted he loved "everything". Honestly, I get the most amazing fans on this grand Pink Tutu adventure.
Of course, a good ballet-themed outfit just begs for a day of sightseeing, and trust me, this little corner of Essex is overflowing with loveliness. Yesterday, I indulged in some quality shopping. And what did my purse, ever a discerning lady, choose to grace itself with? Why, a delightful lilac-pink sun hat, of course. Nothing, but nothing, says "stylish" like a splash of fuchsia while enjoying the glorious sunshine!
To be honest, you could never spend too long admiring a hat. As for the shopping itself, it’s been a wild ride. Honestly, dear readers, this trip’s been overflowing with whimsy. I purchased a set of dainty silver bangles, a perfect complement to the tiny ballet shoes that were destined to sit atop my new hat.
Now, dear readers, as the clock ticks towards evening, and my tummy starts grumbling like a disgruntled chihuahua, it’s time for me to tuck in. Tomorrow I’ll be whisked away, thanks to my trusty horse, and headed for the Isle of Wight – and who knows what adventures await? It’s certainly enough to send shivers down my sequined spine!
Until next time, my darlings. Keep twirling, stay sparkly, and most importantly…
Embrace the Pink!
XOXO
