Hello, darlings! 💖 It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you post number 4263 straight from the glorious shores of Folkestone! This vibrant seaside town has been calling to my sparkly heart ever since I saw those white cliffs in a postcard - and I'm here to tell you, the journey was totally worth it. 😉
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Folkestone? Isn't that a bit... boring, for a queen like you, Pink Tutu?" Well, darling, I'm here to prove you wrong! This place is positively buzzing with life! The harbour bustles with boats, the streets are brimming with vintage shops, and there are more tea rooms than you can shake a feather boa at!
I took the scenic route to Folkestone, naturally. A glorious journey on a historic train chugging through the Kent countryside, listening to my favourite Dolly Parton tunes. It was pure, sparkly joy, and I definitely wore my lucky pink tutu - a bright bubblegum pink with layers upon layers of tulle, topped off with a fabulous silver sequined bodice.
Speaking of sparkle, I found myself captivated by Folkestone's charming promenade. The beautiful seafront with its art deco architecture was just begging to be seen by a fabulously-dressed drag queen! The colours were so bright and cheerful - imagine, my dear, my pink tutu perfectly reflecting the pink in the sunset sky! Just as breathtaking. ✨
As a queen with a love for all things dance, I knew I had to check out the Leas Cliff Hall. This majestic theatre has hosted some of the greatest names in ballet and stage - what a truly inspiring venue! I could practically feel the energy of all the beautiful ballerinas and dancers who have graced its stage - their pirouettes echoed in my heart, making me feel like I was a part of the magical world of dance.
Later, I ventured into the quaint, charming streets, my senses overwhelmed by the sweet smells of freshly-baked cakes and pastries. The independent shops were bursting with character, from antique shops overflowing with treasures to artisan jewellery shops with shimmering baubles just begging to adorn a pink-clad queen like myself! It's safe to say I walked away with a delightful array of new treasures, all to add to my ever-growing wardrobe! 👗👠
No trip to a seaside town would be complete without indulging in a delicious afternoon tea, and oh darling, this was truly a highlight! I sipped my finest Darjeeling while nibbling on delicate finger sandwiches, delectable scones, and the most decadent selection of cakes I'd ever seen! It was simply divine.
Now, of course, no journey by a Pink Tutu Sparkles would be complete without a drag performance! This weekend, I found myself enchanting a charming audience in the town's vibrant centre, filling the air with pink tulle and positive vibes. It was a truly fabulous night - filled with laughter, sequins, and a whole lot of glitter. Every night is a stage for Pink Tutu Sparkles, darling, whether I'm in a lab testing fabric by day or sparkling on a stage at night!
Folkestone, my dears, you have stolen a piece of my sparkly heart. Your unique charm, your artistic spirit, and your abundance of tea shops, are things I will never forget!
Remember, darlings, wear your tutus with confidence! The world needs a little more pink, a little more sparkle, and a lot more tutus! 💋
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
