Helloooo darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, bringing you post number 4036 from my ever-growing blog, www.pink-tutu.com! Today I'm feeling especially fabulous, because I'm about to embark on a magical journey into the heart of Wales, specifically the charming town of Caerphilly!
As many of you know, I'm a true believer in spreading the joy of pink tutus, and that mission doesn't stop at the borders. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Caerphilly? Is there a pink tutu contingent there, darling?". And to that, I say: hold your tutus! It's a hidden gem, brimming with potential.
For those who aren't familiar, Caerphilly boasts a spectacular medieval castle, rolling hills, and some very interesting history (I hear there was once a giant...no, really!). It’s a classic case of "beauty meets brains."
But let's be honest, I'm all about the fashion, darling. And Caerphilly, well, it's calling to me! You can picture it, can't you? My pink tutu swirling in the breeze against the backdrop of that majestic castle. The Welsh sheep giving me the side-eye, wondering, * "Is she going to turn into a giant?". * But worry not, my dear sheep friends, I'll stick to twirling, not transforming. 😉
Now, you might be asking, "How does a Derbyshire gal like me end up in Wales, tutu in tow?" Well, you see, life as a Pink Tutu Sparkles is an adventure. I've been saving my pennies, dancing my little sparkles off, and even used my scientifically-tested skills (my lab-coat-by-day persona might just be the brains behind my tutu-wearing antics! ) to budget my trip to the fullest! The beauty of drag is that it can be anything you make it, and I'm making mine a delightful journey of sparkling adventure!
So, the journey begins! I decided to travel in style (pink tutu and all) by taking a delightful train ride to Caerphilly. I do have a thing for trains, but hey, who doesn’t love a good journey? There's just something so glamorous about looking out of the window and dreaming of all the magical adventures to come. I swear I saw a pink unicorn in a field, but I blame that on my overly enthusiastic tutu-sparkle energy. 😂
Once in Caerphilly, the town is buzzing with life! And what better place to be in a fabulous pink tutu than in the centre of all this vibrant activity, right?
I decided to do something extra special and hold a little flash mob in the heart of town. That's right, darling, you can't tell me I don't know how to throw a party! Now, we weren't quite like the ones you see on television - no fancy steps, no synchronized moves. No, mine was completely impromptu, full of glitter and spontaneity, a whirlwind of pink tutu glory!
And wouldn't you know it? A group of sweet kids joined in! We turned the street into a pink tutu paradise! It was pure magic, the kind that fills you with that warm, bubbly feeling and reminds you of the joy that only pink tutus can bring. It reminded me of why I do what I do: to spread the sparkle and get the world dancing, one tutu at a time!
But the magic of Caerphilly wasn’t over. It doesn't stop at a flash mob!
Now, I know you're thinking, "Is she going to wear her tutu to the castle, darling? The Caerphilly Castle?”
- *AND OF COURSE SHE IS!!
Imagine it: A pink tutu dancing amongst the ancient stone walls of Caerphilly Castle. You just know it would make Henry II blush! You should have seen the faces! People were taking photos left and right! And let me tell you, I wasn't the only one in the mood for a bit of ballet. We ended up doing a little impromptu ballet performance in the castle courtyard - "Pink Tutu Sparkles and the Knights of Caerphilly" you could say, lol!
And you know what? People were actually stopping, watching and clapping! My heart almost popped out of my chest, but you know what, I think it actually brought some light and fun to this historic location, maybe even gave those ancient walls a sprinkle of tutu magic! It’s what makes life exciting – sharing that joy of self-expression. It was like a ballet show you’d never see in a real theater!
But don't think for a minute that I forgot to explore the real charm of Caerphilly! A beautiful Welsh tea room with lovely cakes and even more lovely people, all dressed in the finest fabrics of the season! I must confess I bought two hats, both beautifully adorned with sparkly feathers! It's good to know I haven't lost my passion for a bit of fabulousness - the pink tutu certainly complements a well-dressed head, you see! And what's a Welsh tea room without a delicious scone? They are truly the most delightful!
But alas, my time in Caerphilly is drawing to a close! And as I write this blog post, still in my pink tutu and still full of the wonder of this incredible place, I know this won't be my last visit. You see, the spirit of Caerphilly, the joy and sparkle, it's infectious!
For me, it’s more than just a town. It’s an experience - a place where history meets pink tutus, where ancient walls witness a sparkly ballet show, and where even the sheep seem to smile! It’s all those magical little moments that make me think, you know what, this pink tutu world really is the most fabulous place to be!
Love, sparkle and pink tutus,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
P.S. If you are thinking about joining the pink tutu revolution, don't hesitate. The world needs more sparkle, darling, and you're part of the sparkle!
