Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing drag queen, signing in from sunny (well, almost sunny) Coulsdon! It’s your girl again, bringing you all the latest news and glitter from my whirlwind adventures. This is blog post number 3601, and guess what? I’m on a mission to spread the pink tutu love far and wide, and I'm not stopping until every single one of you is twirling in a frothy, fabulous cloud of tulle.
Now, some of you might think "Coulsdon? What on earth could a drag queen like Pink Tutu Sparkles find to do in a place like Coulsdon?" Well, I'll tell you! Coulsdon, despite its rather unassuming name, has a certain charm about it. Plus, it’s on the railway line, and any excuse for a train journey is a good excuse, am I right? Don't judge a town by its name, babes, just like you shouldn't judge a book by its cover (or, more accurately, a queen by her name - just saying).
The journey down from Derbyshire was a dream. You know I love me a train journey! There’s just something magical about those gleaming carriages and the view flitting past, and all the gossip to be overheard. Besides, I had my favourite pink travelling outfit on (a custom-designed, hot pink tweed blazer, matching pleated skirt and, of course, my trusty pink tutu!) Everyone on the train smiled at me, it was like a giant pink flash mob, and for a moment the whole world seemed just a little bit more glamorous.
Now, onto the reason I found myself in this corner of the South! Coulsdon's actually a hotbed for aspiring young dancers and the local theatre had an open mic night. My dazzling act of course was a ballet themed one! I chose to wear my new pink tulle "Butterfly" tutu, complete with hand-painted floral patterns and iridescent wings that practically demanded attention. It’s been a long time since I've donned my ballet shoes and strutted my stuff, and I must confess, a bit of stage fright set in as I waited for my turn. But then I took a deep breath, remembering why I started this journey: To share the joy of performing, to spread that sparkle that makes every day feel magical, and to bring a little pink tutu magic into the lives of people everywhere.
The crowd roared! My heart did a little tap-dance as I received my applause, the stage lights were fantastic. Oh, did I mention I added a couple of my signature dance moves, the ones where I spin around in my tutu and make the tulle swish? I mean, why wear a big tutu if you aren't going to use it to maximum effect? It's a big yes to the tutu for me, and the crowd was absolutely in love with it!
And then... there it was. The moment every Pink Tutu Sparkles performance culminates in! I called up all the kids in the audience to the stage. Every single one, with their sparkly eyes and excited faces! They got to join me in a singalong to my newest track "Dance Your Dreams", with everyone twirling, twirling, twirling, It was pure pink-tutu-infused magic! Afterwards, they all gathered round, eyes shining, begging for hugs and wanting to hear about the sparkly costume! This is what it’s all about! Spreading the pink tutu joy. It's all worth it, babes!
Coulsdon you were delightful. But don't think you've seen the last of Pink Tutu Sparkles!
Here are the key highlights of my Coulsdon escapade:
Fabulous Fashion Finds:
Coulsdon was a hidden gem for vintage shops. It’s crazy the amazing stuff you can find at bargain prices! I picked up some seriously cute, vintage, pink accessories, like a feather boa and some matching sparkly gloves! (Pink, of course!). And I even found a gorgeous, vintage-style pink feather fan to go with my ballet-inspired stage costumes.
Culinary Delights:
Coulsdon actually has an impressive food scene! I had the most amazing afternoon tea with fresh scones and strawberry jam. I love a good cuppa and a scone - truly a queen’s delight! The cafe I went to even served a pink rose macaron with their tea - absolutely divine.
Pink Tutu Power Hour:
I’m going to be honest. After the open mic night, I was so inspired by the energy of Coulsdon, I just had to spread the pink tutu love in the streets! My trusty travelling tutu and I set off into the evening! Let’s just say the residents of Coulsdon got a surprise they won't forget. I mean, who can resist a queen in a pink tutu spreading joy and encouraging everyone to dance? They were in awe!
I’m always so amazed by the way people react to me when I’m in my full Pink Tutu Sparkles attire! Everyone lights up, smiles wider and is more open to sharing a bit of joy with others! It truly warms my heart and fuels my mission to spread the magic of tutus far and wide.
And that’s a wrap for Coulsdon!
