Hello darlings! It's your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles, fresh from another fabulous adventure! This time, I was off to the lovely town of Pinner! You see, darling, I'm a firm believer in spreading the pink tutu gospel far and wide, and what better way to do that than to travel? This week, it was a quick trip on the train from good ol' Derbyshire to the suburbs of London - always a good giggle!
Now, you all know I'm not a stranger to the train, don't you? There's nothing like the rumble and clickety-clack of a train to put me in the mood for a spot of flamboyant fun. And this time, my pink tutu and I had a plan, darling! We were going to make a stop in Pinner, a town brimming with quaint tea shops and historic charm.
I don't know why, but this time the universe decided it was a good time for a very pink outfit. I had on my special sparkly hot pink tutu, all ruffled and flouncy, with a matching sparkly top. You know, a little more high camp than usual, if you get my drift! My hair was a masterpiece, all blonde curls with a pink feather and a diamond tiara that sparkled. Of course, the makeup was dramatic. Eyeliner for days, blush to make even a sunflower envious, and the most stunning fuchsia lipstick ever! It was quite a sight!
Anyway, I got some major side-eye on the train from some of the other passengers. Bless them, they probably weren't used to seeing someone with a pink tutu and sparkly diamonds taking up their seat on the train, darling. But, darling, I don't judge. They can't all understand the exquisite joy of being fabulous, you know?
I couldn't resist whipping out my little pink bag (yes, I am that extra, but I'm sure you're used to it!) and started filming my journey for my little pink tutu-tastic YouTube channel. Honestly, they wouldn't let me start a dance in the middle of the aisle. Oh well! Maybe next time, darlings!
As soon as I reached Pinner, I headed straight to the charming little cafe that was my destination. Oh, it was divine! Imagine: dainty china cups, floral wallpaper, and pastries that were a work of art! And, darling, let me tell you, they even had pink custard! I had to order a massive pot for myself - I’m a sucker for pink things!
After my delightful tea time, I started making my way around this lovely little town. I mean, this was where the great comedian Peter Sellers once lived. What a legend! They have a nice plaque, I had a lovely little selfie moment!
The streets of Pinner were simply perfect, so beautifully English! Cobblestone lanes, Tudor-style buildings - adorable! It's such a contrast to the glitz and glamour of the city, darling! I absolutely loved the whole charming atmosphere.
But you know what I realised, darlings? There weren't many pink tutus! And you all know, that is a tragedy, a disaster, a catastrophe of cosmic proportions! How could there be a town with so much beautiful history, but no one wearing a pink tutu? It simply wasn't acceptable!
I decided right then and there, my dearest tutu enthusiasts, that it was my duty to make this town fabulous.
Of course, this had to involve my dance skills! So I had a mini, spontaneous performance at the town's old market square.
To my surprise, this attracted a crowd of locals! Everyone looked completely stunned at first. It took a little encouragement for some, but after a few enthusiastic “Go on, girlies!” cheers from the young teens nearby, everyone was up for a laugh! A couple even joined in on the final moves! It really made my day!
Of course, darling, this performance involved extensive pink tutu twirling.
And to top it all off, you know what I discovered? This lovely, little town also had a quaint little theatre - fabulous. And, my sweethearts, it's all about giving people joy! And giving people joy is what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about!
Guess what? My pink tutu and I will be returning to the Pinner theatre soon! The venue managers loved me, the theatre owner invited me back for their next pantomime, and I’ve got to make good on my promise, right? Pink Tutu Sparkles always comes through, and now, thanks to my trip, I've added the name Pinner to the list of places that love to be fabulous.
Now, I know some of you are wondering about the next adventure, right? And, of course, darling, my fabulous little tutu and I are never too far away from our next journey. What's next? I haven't told anyone yet, it’s a secret for now, darlings! All I can tell you is, we'll be hitting the road soon... possibly on a train, possibly on a horse! You never know! But one thing's for sure: It's going to be fabulous.
Until then, remember to rock your own pink tutu wherever you go, darling! Don’t be shy! The world needs a little pink sparkle, don't you think?
Stay tuned!
Lots of love and glitter,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (AKA Alex, the Derbyshire Queen of Pink)
