Oh, darling readers! I'm positively brimming with excitement to tell you all about my fabulous trip to Hayes! It was a journey fit for a queen, with a delightful train ride that felt like a scene out of a fairytale. Just imagine me, Pink Tutu Sparkles, seated comfortably in my pink velour tracksuit (you know I can't travel without a little comfort!) gazing out the window as the world whizzed by. I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures, and you know, they were fabulous! The train journey is always a wonderful opportunity to lose myself in a good book or two, maybe catch up on some fabulous YouTube channels.
And let me tell you, Hayes was a veritable pink tutu paradise! The air was buzzing with excitement, and there was a real sense of community that filled the heart with warmth and joy. The whole town felt as if it had been dressed in its best pink finery, and my inner ballerina absolutely thrilled at the sight.
It's not every day a drag queen gets the chance to perform in a town with such a lively theatre scene, and trust me, I took full advantage. I had been invited to perform a special Pink Tutu Spectacular at the Hayes Community Hall, and darling, it was absolutely divine.
I felt a right princess on the way, gliding in through the doors and the beautiful decor that truly sparkled with a real theatrical flair! I loved how everything matched the colour scheme of my pink sequined, fringed costume that twinkled even brighter than the chandeliers overhead. It was the most delightful setting for a night filled with laughter, glitter, and, of course, tutus!
For the first act, I kicked things off with a lively "Tutu Trot," a special choreography piece showcasing my dazzling dance moves with my trusted ensemble of ballerinas. My heart leapt every time the audience gasped in awe, clapping along to every spin and arabesque. The applause reverberated throughout the hall and filled the stage with a sense of shared excitement.
For the second act, I did a "Tutu Tea Party" where I took questions and invited audience members to tell me why they love pink tutus, too! The audience was just so vibrant and engaging! They filled the stage with so much joy and energy. One young lady, a sweet little girl of no more than eight years old, even stood up and declared her love for pink tutus, explaining that it made her feel "like a fairy princess." And I'm like, "YES, GIRL!" That is the most fabulous response. Her heartfelt enthusiasm was just as infectious as my sparkle dust!
By the time I'd finished performing the grand finale, with all of us in our pink tutus, it felt like the night could not be more magical. You'll just have to wait and see when I post the footage from the show.
Later that evening, I treated myself to a delightful dinner at The Pink Tutu Café - yes, you read that right! It's a quaint and utterly delightful café with pink-tinted windows and the most delicious pink cocktails (we're talking strawberry daiquiris, peach bellinis, the lot!). And the menu, darling! A symphony of colour and taste - I had the pink pasta with creamy sauce and fresh herbs (it was like a dream in a bowl!). Every dish is a delight, all inspired by the joy of a pink tutu! The cafe staff were so sweet and really welcoming. This town truly embodies the spirit of pink!
I spent the rest of my evening wandering through the town's charming cobbled streets, mesmerized by the displays of vibrant flowers in shop windows and the delightful architecture. Everywhere I went, the townspeople seemed to be buzzing with a sense of warmth and welcome. They greeted me with smiles, asked questions about my act, and even offered me delicious pink lemonade and pink cupcakes! It's truly a testament to the wonderful kindness and generosity of the British people!
On my way to catch my train back, I passed a children's playground filled with giggling and joyous children, all dressed in their own versions of pink tutus – tiny pink skirts and sparkly wings, they truly embody the spirit of Pink Tutu Sparkles!
Oh, what a wonderful trip to Hayes! I simply cannot wait to return, and to wear pink with everyone in this wonderful place! If you haven't had the chance to visit yet, my darling readers, do it as soon as you can.
As I settle into my home studio to update this fabulous blog, I know my trip to Hayes was just the start of a whole new adventure. And my friends, we know how I like my adventures. We like them pink! So let's dance on and on into the night.
Love, glitter, and everything pink, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖🩰✨
