Hello darlings! Your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, is back with a brand new blog post, fresh from a whirlwind trip to Borehamwood! It was an absolute joy, and as you know, I love sharing all my travel adventures with you lovely lot. You never know, you might even get inspired to pop on your own pink tutu and take the plunge!
This trip to Borehamwood started in the most glamorous of ways – by train, naturally! I mean, who doesn't love the rhythmic clatter of wheels on tracks, the gentle sway of the carriage, and the endless window views whizzing by? And of course, a train journey is the perfect opportunity to flaunt my signature style! A shimmering pink sequined tutu with delicate tulle layers, a blush-pink satin blouse with a touch of lace, and pink-tinted shades… you see, I do believe in living the pink tutu dream!
I always try to pick up a new piece or two to compliment my travelling wardrobe at every station. This time, it was a pair of fluffy, pink ballet slippers (perfect for impromptu twirls) and a shimmering pink scarf to tie around my wrist.
Borehamwood itself was a proper gem! The charming market squares, the independent boutiques showcasing gorgeous handmade clothes and crafts, it was like stepping into a picture postcard! Of course, a little shopping was in order, wouldn't want to break my record of collecting at least one new pink item on every journey! A delightful hat with a giant pink satin bow and a pair of adorable pink ballet flats (oh, these were just perfect with my tutu, you should have seen it!).
The main event? Well, let me tell you, a captivating ballet performance in the heart of Borehamwood! Now, I know what you're thinking… ballet, pink tutu, is this a surprise? Nope, darlings! Ballet is in my soul, and there’s nothing I love more than seeing graceful dancers take to the stage in their swirling tutus. It’s like pure magic, an expression of artistry and emotion that sets my heart soaring. It's even more amazing when you're wearing your own, pink tutu!
Speaking of which, I received a few inquisitive looks in the theatre, which always happens when you're in full-on drag, but I was not fazed, my dears! As usual, I made a dazzling entrance – let’s be honest, it’s my forte. You could see the delight on some people’s faces as I settled into my seat, complete with my sequined clutch and a sparkling pink feather boa (just in case I wanted to have a little boa wiggle). My pink tutu certainly made a statement, and you know me, I’m all about that, statement-making. I even received a couple of appreciative whistles during the intermission – it’s great to bring a touch of sparkle wherever you go, right?
Borehamwood has a delightful selection of tearooms. We’ve had afternoon tea at plenty over the years, you know. So, I tucked into my scones, finger sandwiches, and a mountain of cakes, all with a nice pot of steaming hot tea. I had to finish the day on a sweet note - you know how much I love sweets! Especially when I'm travelling in full glam drag!
The day flew by in a delightful flurry of tutus, sparkles, and tea. Now, the memories of my time in Borehamwood will live on forever in my mind and, of course, in my beautifully curated blog.
I can't wait to share my next big adventure with you. So, stay tuned, my darling pink tutu queens. Keep on twirling, and remember… the world needs more pink tutus!
Yours in sequins,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
