Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu wearing, glitter-loving, twirling queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles! Today I'm taking you on a trip to the glorious town of Bilston, a place that is definitely on the map (no, really - it's on the map!), thanks to me and my glorious pink tulle! 🎉
Now, you know how much I adore my train journeys, it's all about that scenery and the thrill of arrival, feeling like a majestic fairy arriving on her magical train. ✨ This trip, however, started with a very special kind of adventure: a horse-drawn carriage! Yes, darlings, a proper Victorian horse and carriage! This little pink queen took to the streets of Derby in all her fabulousness, a real fairytale princess feeling. 🐎 It was certainly a more scenic way to start the journey!
As I glided past the fields of Derbyshire, I was already thinking about the stage at the Bilston venue! It wasn't your average cabaret setting, mind you, more of a charming town hall with those gorgeous high ceilings that seem to be practically dripping in Victorian charm. Oh, I love that kind of grand old architecture, just screams 'drama' and 'fabulousness'! 💖
Speaking of fabulousness, have I mentioned how utterly devoted I am to pink? Just the thought of that blush-toned silk, a glorious colour that evokes sweetness, glamour and a touch of rebellious sparkle, well it simply sends me into a state of pure joy! 💕 Honestly, pink is a lifestyle, not just a colour!
Now, getting back to the journey, after a smooth train ride (a little nod to my friend, conductor Brian, who, just like me, lives for the theatre, though Brian's 'dressing room' is the train's luggage compartment!), we reached the enchanting town of Bilston. My senses were flooded with the delicious aroma of freshly baked cakes wafting from the bakery window. It was a welcome sweet scent to counteract the more industrial air, so perfectly balanced for the glamorous traveller (that's me!), you see, dear reader, I love discovering new places, especially places that might not always be known for their theatrical offerings. 😉
Bilston, for all its charms, wasn't exactly known for being a centre for performing arts - and I aim to change that! I saw a tiny theatre tucked away just off the main street and my heart leaped with delight! You can bet that after my show at the Town Hall, I will be venturing in, all pink tulle, sequins and sparkly smiles, to inspire a love of all things theatrical in this wonderfully charming town. 💖
Remember darlings, Pink Tutu Sparkles never forgets a dream! One day, I know Bilston will be brimming with vibrant arts spaces, theatre workshops, and maybe even a dance school teaching ballet and street dance in the pinkest tutu imaginable! 💗
Tonight, though, I was a one-woman spectacle! My entrance? Absolutely stunning! Imagine it – the lights dim, spotlight on, and out steps your fabulous Pink Tutu Sparkles, twirling a grand pink tutu under the high vaulted ceilings! My performance was electric, an ode to my beloved ballet, with playful nods to street dance and modern routines that truly captured the spirit of Bilston! My finale saw me standing atop the town hall stage, all the lights on, the crowd going wild – a true pink tulle queen conquering the world, one twirl at a time! ✨
But my trip didn't end with my show, dear reader! The real magic of travel, for me, comes from meeting the local folks. The staff at the Bilston town hall, you should have seen them, eyes wide with delight! They’d never seen a drag queen before, but they were mesmerized by my twinkling, sparkling act. You should have seen how they beamed! I think they left that night feeling empowered, just like I want everyone to feel when they wear their own special version of a pink tutu! 💖
Now, Bilston may not be known as a centre for glitz and glamour, but you know what? With a little bit of Pink Tutu magic, it definitely could be! Remember, you don’t need a stage to shine, just a dash of courage and the determination to be yourself – the Pink Tutu way, naturally! 💗
Until next time, remember – you're fabulous, just as you are!
With glitter and love, 💖 Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
