Hey darlings, it's your favourite Pink Tutu Queen here, bringing you blog post number 3598! Today I'm overflowing with excitement as I share with you the magic of Bournville! This little town in the West Midlands, nestled amidst chocolatey goodness (a girl loves a treat, don't you know!), stole my heart with its charming character and bustling community spirit.
And yes, I journeyed to Bournville, of course, by train! Train journeys always make me feel like a vintage movie star, especially in a fabulously flamboyant pink tutu, which this week is a luscious blush hue with feather embellishments - perfect for this delightful jaunt.
You know how much I adore ballet, right? Well, Bournville had me absolutely smitten! It's got this delightful theatre space right in the heart of town called the Birmingham Hippodrome, and lemme tell ya, their ballet performances are absolutely to die for! This week they had a stunning rendition of Swan Lake, and my tutus have never seen such elegance on stage! The dancers, the music, the sets, oh my! The graceful movement had my heart soaring - you really need to go if you get a chance, my loves! 🦢💖
But it wasn't just the stage performances that captivated me! Bournville boasts the most delightful ballet class at a quaint little studio right off the high street. The instructor, Miss Beatrice, was a dear, a proper proper lady, and she had us doing plies, tendues and fouettes with grace and finesse. You know how I love to twirl, and Miss Beatrice taught me the most fabulous new move - it involves twirling with an extra spin and a flourish. Honestly, you wouldn't believe it, darling, I could twirl all day long! 😄
Speaking of twirling, darling, Bournville knows how to have a good time! On Saturday afternoon I stumbled upon this brilliant street market where a whole crowd of talented performers were wowing the onlookers with a colourful array of musical acts and even a street dance performance. A troupe of local teenagers performed a super energetic piece in their pink and purple ballet tutus! The whole thing was fantastically fun, reminding me of those lovely times performing in the park back in Derbyshire - the crowd going wild as I strike a pose! The cheers just warm the cockles of my heart.
I simply couldn't leave Bournville without indulging in the glorious local delicacies, of course! From traditional fudge shops brimming with pink candy hearts to charming cafes where the aromas of chocolate and vanilla hung in the air like sweet perfume, I indulged in the delicious treats and nibbled with delight! And it wouldn't be a Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure without a fabulous shopping trip. The cute little shops bursting with vibrant dresses, glittery earrings, and oh my god, you'd never believe the adorable hats I found! Each shop I popped into held a little gem of colour, texture and style. You all know, I love pink! 🛍️💖
While strolling through Bournville, I even bumped into this lovely chap, a young fellow named Barnaby. He was sporting the most adorable little blue tweed jacket! I told him all about Pink Tutu Sparkles and encouraged him to get himself a pink tutu. He giggled a bit, blushing a bit under his tweed cap, but I'm sure that with a little bit of encouragement he'll see the light and join the fabulous Pink Tutu Sparkles club.
As you can see, darlings, Bournville was pure enchantment! Every corner brimmed with the essence of whimsy and delight, just like my dear pink tutu and all my dreams. But my little trip wasn't just about sightseeing, darlings. Oh no! I had the grand honour of performing at the lovely local town hall as part of their weekend charity fundraiser. My performance? Let's just say I had those tutus twirling and feathers fluttering! I'm talking sequins, sparkle, a pinch of sassy, and lots of laughs! As always, a Pink Tutu Queen appearance always brings joy, love and smiles - which is what I hope I achieve with my drag, every single night. 🥰💖
As my train pulled out of Bournville Station, I couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness. The town was a vibrant explosion of color and laughter, a true testament to the joy of living! But, my loves, fear not! Pink Tutu Sparkles is always on the go, discovering new adventures and spreading the Pink Tutu love wherever I go! And who knows where my next fabulous journey will take me? 🚄💖
Until next time, my darlings! Keep shining brightly and never forget: The world needs more pink tutus!
XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💋✨
