Hello, darling dears! It's your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, and I'm bubbling over with excitement! You see, my latest adventure took me to the charming town of Middleton. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Middleton? Sounds a bit... beige, doesn't it?" Well, honey, think again! Middleton was bursting with unexpected charm and, of course, a touch of pink tutu magic.
My journey began, as it often does, with a train ride. Oh, the sheer joy of travelling by train! A comfy seat, a steaming cuppa, and plenty of time to people-watch and imagine the stories unfolding behind each face.
Arriving in Middleton, I was greeted by a quaint, cobbled street lined with charming shops, buzzing with a Saturday market atmosphere. My first stop? The delightful "Pink Petal Emporium," a delightful little shop crammed with all things pink! They had tutus of every imaginable shade, ribbons, feathers, sparkly headbands, even pink teacups! Honestly, it was like walking into a pink wonderland. I must have spent a good hour trying on tutus, flitting around the shop like a fluffy, pink-tinted butterfly. I came away with a gorgeous pastel pink tutu, so soft and airy, it practically danced on its own!
Later, I had a rather wonderful afternoon at the Middleton Arts Centre, enjoying a stunning ballet performance. I have to say, the costumes were a bit lacklustre, but the dancers were amazing. They leaped, twirled, and soared across the stage with such grace and precision it practically brought tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to get to class and practise, it will make a stunning new number for my show!
After the ballet, I enjoyed a lovely meal at a charming little bistro, tucking into a divine salmon salad. The food was delicious, and the owner was absolutely thrilled when he found out I was a tutu-loving drag queen. He insisted on a photo, saying he was going to put it up in his restaurant! My travels are always a joy, and I do try and make connections where I can, who knows what doors might be open to a Tutu Queen with a charming character!
Now, my lovelies, you'll never believe what happened next. While I was waiting for my train, a group of school children approached me. "Are you a fairy?" one little girl giggled, tugging at her mum's hand. "No, darling, this is a Tutu Queen!" her mother chuckled. And then, the magic began. I chatted with the children, showed them my tutu, and told them about the magic of dancing and the importance of being kind and accepting. They all had such bright eyes and curious little minds. I could see them asking their parents for a tutu or to go to their first ballet!
As I sat on the train, heading back to my own corner of Derbyshire, I couldn't help but smile. Middleton, a town that I initially thought might be a little bit boring, turned out to be a delightful, pink-tinted adventure. It reminded me of why I love travelling and the magic of spreading my pink tutu joy to everyone I meet.
Oh, and a final note for you lovely lot, did you know Middleton is known as the "Capital of Tartan"?? I guess you can’t have everything, I mean who would ever want to see tartan, it’s not a single colour. Well, my dearies, it’s been a pink dream! Don’t forget to spread the love and wear a tutu! I’m off to my local shopping centre to buy another new pink dress, because honestly a drag queen can never have too many!
Stay fabulous and sparkle with your own special shine!
Lots of love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
