Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to shimmy and shake in Folkestone!
It's been a whirlwind of sequins and sparkles these past few weeks. My little heart has been yearning for a taste of the seaside, so naturally, Folkestone was calling. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Folkestone, isn't that a bit...quaint?"
Oh, darling, I assure you, Folkestone has an air of whimsy, a sprinkle of seaside charm, and an energy that makes this glamorous Pink Tutu absolutely fizz with excitement! And as soon as the train pulled into the station, I knew this trip was going to be fabulous.
Speaking of fabulous, have you ever considered traveling by train? I do adore a good train journey. It's an opportunity to admire the countryside, watch the world roll by, and indulge in a little light reading...while dreaming up new routines, of course! The clatter of the train tracks has an invigorating rhythm that just begs to be incorporated into a performance!
And who knows, you might even find yourself in the presence of a charming, silver-haired gentleman like I did. We got to chatting, he was absolutely smitten with my pink tulle masterpiece, and even gave me a delicious, home-baked Victoria sponge! How utterly lovely!
Upon arrival, darling, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the sea was...well, I can't resist a bit of a giggle - a little too grey for my liking, even for Folkestone! It didn't deter me, though. Not when I had a fabulous weekend ahead of me.
Folkestone, in case you weren't aware, is a little gem of a town with a fascinating history and stunning coastal views. We wandered along the harbour, taking in the colourful boats and the salty sea breeze, and stopped for the most delightful, delicious ice cream at an independently owned shop, of course! It's all about supporting the small businesses, isn't it, darlings? They’re like hidden treasures.
For the evening, I had a rather lovely opportunity. I was invited to perform at a delightful little bar nestled in the cobbled alleys. Imagine, a vintage vibe, exposed brickwork, dim lighting - it was the perfect setting for a Pink Tutu performance! The locals were simply wonderful, cheering and applauding, even singing along with me to "I Will Survive."
You know me, darlings! Can't go on a trip without some glam-tastic shopping! I unearthed a divine pink feather boa, which, I assure you, has been carefully stored for my next performance! I also fell head over heels for a shop brimming with colourful retro hats and vintage sunglasses. Just think, I could rock a vibrant yellow hat paired with my fuchsia tulle, or a turquoise hat with my cerulean blue tutu! Imagine the fabulous possibilities!
And of course, a trip to Folkestone would not be complete without a little visit to the theatre. I found a delightful local company performing a ballet, the story of a feisty ballerina overcoming hardship. Oh darling, the costumes were exquisite, the choreography enchanting. It was pure inspiration! My very own "Pink Tutu Dreams" had definitely been sparked.
Before returning to the hustle and bustle of city life, I treated myself to a glorious brunch of scrambled eggs with a side of bacon and a piping hot cup of tea. You know, sometimes, it's the little things, darlings. The simple pleasures that make a trip truly magical.
As I board the train back home, I can't help but reflect on my trip. It was short, but so very sweet. Folkestone, darling, you've won a place in my heart, your seaside charm and artistic spirit leaving me filled with inspiration and ready to spread the message of tutus, feathers, and sparkles far and wide!
You see, darlings, my dream is a simple one: To get every single one of you twirling in a pink tutu! Imagine a world where every street corner was adorned with vibrant fuchsia, where a pink tulle skirt was just as accepted as a pair of jeans, where every step was a whimsical dance, and every laugh a joyful chorus! It's a vision for the future, a world filled with magic and mischief, where every individual is celebrated for their own unique expression.
Until next time, darlings! Stay sparkling, stay fierce, and keep those tutus twirling!
Lots of love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
