Hello my darling dears, and welcome back to the Pink Tutu blog! It's your favourite, totally fabulous, Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you another instalment of glitter, glamour, and, of course, PINK TUTUS!
Today, my fabulous followers, we're headed to the historic city of Gloucester! That's right, I'm taking my fabulous self and this here blog on a little jaunt to the Cotswolds. It's always such a treat to explore the beautiful countryside, especially when there's a sparkly performance waiting at the end of the journey!
Now, you know me, darling. I'm all about the pink, the sparkle, and, of course, the tulle! I’m such a girly girl that I even do my own hair and makeup in a cloud of pink glitter! It's a good job I'm used to hauling all my fabulous gear around because this trip involves a LOT of bags. But fear not, darlings, I'm not a fan of planes! Today, we're travelling in style - on a lovely steam train journey through the picturesque English countryside. It's not only a lovely scenic way to travel, but also so romantic, with all that puffing smoke and chuffing sounds!
And to truly celebrate the beauty of Gloucester and all its historical grandeur, I thought, "What better way to celebrate than a good old fashioned ball gown?" So, I've dusted off my most fabulous and flowy tulle creation - a dazzling masterpiece of pale pink, shimmery silk, with just the right amount of ruffles to create that 'extra' special touch. It's perfect for swirling through the historical cobbled streets, especially with a handsome prince or two - who knows, maybe I'll find someone to give me a waltz at the town hall!
But of course, a girly-girl like me can’t go anywhere without some lovely bits and bobs, now can we? It wouldn’t be a Pink Tutu Sparkles trip without an extra touch of sparkly magic, so I've got a huge suitcase stuffed with glitter, my rainbow assortment of fabulous pink tutus (one for every day of the week!) and all my favourite fluffy accessories! After all, what’s a girl to do with all that space if she isn’t planning on being ridiculously extra?
Anyway, let me catch you up on my pre-Gloucester preparations! First, I took myself off to my local library to read up on the fascinating history of the city. There are so many amazing landmarks to explore – Gloucester Cathedral, the Roman city walls, and even the building where the Harry Potter film series was filmed! You know, my love of theatre even goes beyond drag performances! You see, this Pink Tutu Sparkles isn’t afraid to have her heart swooned over by Shakespeare, either. And of course, I made sure to squeeze in some time at my beloved ballet class. My dear teacher, Ms. Fiona, said, “Oh, Alex darling! A true diva needs to know how to pirouette across any stage, not just in a tutu!" And wouldn't you know it, that Fiona is the wisest person in my whole wide world!
My performance is at the Grand Gloucester Festival, right in the middle of the historic marketplace. I hear they have fantastic food there too, and rumour has it they’re even selling special 'Pink Tutu’ cake! Honestly, I’ve got butterflies just thinking about all those eyes watching me sashay onto the stage. What can I say? I do love an audience!
And my dear followers, that's where you come in! I'd love to see you at my performance. The more glitter in the audience, the better! The venue has a whole tent dedicated to showcasing the very best local talents. Of course, you can expect Pink Tutu Sparkles to be the biggest showstopper in the entire tent! But don’t take my word for it, come see it for yourself! This trip, you're guaranteed an extra dose of my trademark magic, a whole heap of tutu fabulousness and, yes, you guessed it, sparkles galore!
Keep your peepers glued to the Pink Tutu Blog, darlings, and we’ll be seeing you there for more updates about my fabulous Gloucester escapades! Don't forget to leave me a comment about what you want me to wear, what you'd love me to see in the city, or just to send a quick, "you’re amazing, Pink Tutu!"
In the meantime, go on, make someone's day! Don a pink tutu for me, darling. Spread the joy. It's what the world needs!
Hugs and kisses,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xox
