Hello my gorgeous darlings! Your fabulous Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and oh my gosh, I'm positively bubbling with excitement about my recent adventure to Wickford! This little slice of Essex magic totally stole my heart and made me wanna twirl and twirl and twirl! 💖
You see, I'm a bit of a train enthusiast. There's something about the rhythmic chugging, the whizzing by of green fields and sleepy towns, that makes my spirit soar. So, I decided to take the scenic route to Wickford, settling into a comfy first-class carriage and letting my imagination run wild. It felt like a fairytale, you know? The world just outside the window swirling by like a ballet performance.
And speaking of ballet! Have I told you how much I love ballet?! It’s literally my life’s obsession. And you know what? Wickford was a true treat for a ballet fan like me. As soon as I arrived, I discovered this lovely little dance school, and gasp they had a Tutu Fair! Can you believe it? Tutus of every colour imaginable – pinks, purples, blues, you name it. And let me tell you, it was an absolute tutu paradise!
Of course, I just had to pick up a few little treasures for my wardrobe, didn’t I? You see, there’s never enough sparkle or fluff when it comes to pink tutus! One glorious, bright pink tulle masterpiece caught my eye, covered in shimmering sequins and it called to me! It’s just perfect for my upcoming show in the local fair in a week.
Then, it was off to the beautiful Wickford Theatre, where I discovered a fantastic ballet show called "The Swan Lake Serenade." The costumes were just dreamy! They had these incredible swan tutus, fluffy and white with such delicate feather detail. I felt like I was transported into a magical kingdom for the whole evening!
After the show, I found this delightful little tea room tucked away in a corner. It was a true English gem – the kind of place with floral wallpaper, comfy armchairs, and tea served in pretty bone china. You wouldn't believe the selection of homemade cakes they had! My friend and I devoured Victoria sponge with cream, scones with clotted cream, and the most decadent chocolate cake I've ever seen. It was an absolute sugar rush dream!
But I haven't forgotten my drag mission, my darlings! My mission, my dream – to have the entire world donning a pink tutu! Well, I might have started a little movement here in Wickford.
I popped into this adorable shop called “The Pink Tutu Boutique” and the lovely owner, Betty, absolutely embraced my vision. She told me, "My dear, this is fantastic! Let's get Wickford twirling!" She’s even got a Pink Tutu Club in the works! And she’s allowing me to pop in and run my "Tutu Training Workshop” at her shop. I can’t wait! We're going to have the whole town dancing in pink tutus – you heard it here first!
As I packed up my glittery luggage, I felt such a pang of sadness to leave Wickford behind. But it's the kind of sadness tinged with happy memories. This town has truly become one of my favourite places. It’s charming, colourful, and oh-so welcoming. And who knows? Perhaps one day, it might just be called "The Pink Tutu Capital" of Essex!
Now, I know what you're thinking – where to next, darling? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! 🤫 Keep those eyes peeled for my next post, as I’m heading back to Derbyshire for a few shows, then off to a small town near Leeds. Until then, don't forget – every day is a good day to twirl! And remember, pink tutus are the ultimate accessory for any occasion!
Lots of love and pink tutu sprinkles, Your Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
