Oh my darlings, prepare yourselves for a dazzling dose of pink, a sprinkle of glitter, and a whole lotta fabulousness! It's your favourite TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and I'm positively bursting to tell you all about my recent escapade to the delightful town of Loughborough.
As always, my trusty pink tutu was packed, my trusty mascara was loaded, and my trusty (slightly dusty) suitcase was ready to go. And by 'go', I mean 'roll', because this TutuQueen chose a romantic and scenic journey by train, naturally! A good train ride is perfect for sketching out potential dance moves, admiring fellow travellers' ensembles (hello, rainbow socks!), and just soaking in the gorgeous countryside views.
Now, Loughborough isn't just a pretty name, darlings! This town is packed with history, character, and a surprising number of lovely cafes serving delicious Victoria sponge. You can’t travel a day without a bit of cake and a cuppa, you know!
The real reason for my visit, however, was not cake (although the temptation was certainly there!), but the opportunity to grace Loughborough’s beautiful stage at The [Insert venue name here]. It’s a stunning venue with beautiful lighting and an intimate feel - perfect for spreading the Pink Tutu gospel!
Speaking of gospel, darling, have you heard the latest rumour about Pink Tutus?! It seems they're the only fashion accessory making a serious splash on the catwalks this season. Why, the very top fashion houses are sending their models down in voluminous tulle delights, just like my fabulous self! Now, I’m just waiting for my big break as a drag artist – and trust me, darlings, it'll be huge. I just know it!
Of course, I made sure to inject some Pink Tutu Sparkles into my stage routine - you simply can't go wrong with a touch of sparkle and grace!
The audience in Loughborough was just fabulous – so warm and welcoming, and they loved the pink! You could practically see the joy on their faces as I danced my heart out, twirling my pink tutu with such enthusiasm, a sprinkle of magic was definitely in the air!
After my grand performance, it was time to indulge in some real, true Loughborough culture! Let me tell you, darling, there's so much to explore! First stop, a visit to the beautiful Loughborough Carillon! Its incredible acoustics are just magic! My inner child practically burst with excitement, seeing these bells clang and boom, playing some absolutely fabulous tunes.
I then hopped onto a delightful, cobbled street and stumbled upon the most exquisite little bookshop called [Insert bookshop name here]. I tell you, the staff were simply lovely, and they had shelves overflowing with old and rare editions. A book-lover's dream come true, I tell you! I even snagged a little pocket book of poetry, something light and uplifting for the train ride back home.
Feeling positively inspired and completely exhausted, it was time to find a little spot for dinner. The most darling little café called [Insert cafe name here] popped up on my radar. It’s a real hidden gem – tucked away down a cobbled street, it offers the most mouthwatering and authentic [insert cuisine here] dishes. It’s simply divine! And of course, no evening in Loughborough is complete without a delightful slice of Victoria sponge and a cuppa – a true English treat.
Before I could blink, my journey was complete! The train home was just as charming and idyllic as the journey there. It was even a little more scenic with the glorious sunset as a backdrop. But as much as I adored my Loughborough adventures, I confess to slightly longing for the comforts of my Derbyshire home – not least, my little pink haven of an apartment!
So, darling, I can’t recommend Loughborough enough for a day or even a weekend getaway. And, for the love of pink and glitter, make sure to slip into a tutu before you go! Who knows, you might even end up starring in my next post!
See you soon, my lovelies,
Your fabulous TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles.
