Hello darlings! It’s your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, reporting live from beautiful Littlehampton! (This is post #4762, in case you were wondering, darling. You can check out my daily dose of sparkle at www.pink-tutu.com). I’m absolutely giddy with excitement to share this journey with you all, because… get this… I’ve brought the Pink Tutu Movement to the seaside!
Littlehampton – the name alone conjures images of breezy seaside promenades, salty air, and delicious fish and chips. It's truly a little slice of British charm, and I was itching to spread the pink tutu gospel amongst the happy holidaymakers and charming residents!
Now, let’s rewind a little… This week's adventure started with a long train journey down to the south coast. It’s all about taking in the scenery for me, especially in the gorgeous English countryside, darling. The train carriage became a sartorial extravaganza as I donned my new "Rainbow Sprinkles" tutu – I simply can't resist a colourfully patterned tulle. Imagine… layers of rainbow-hued netting, cascading like a magical cloud, a little bit of sparkle woven in for good measure. A vision of pure pinktastic perfection!
I've always loved trains, and they provide the perfect opportunity for some fabulous pre-performance preparation. There's something about the rhythm of the rails and the hum of the engine that inspires me, and with a touch of blusher and a swipe of sparkly lipgloss, I'm ready to shine in Littlehampton.
Oh, I mustn't forget to mention the delightful travelling companion I had this time around. My dear, dear friend Beatrice (her real name, can you imagine!) is my self-proclaimed 'pink tutu assistant', always eager to help me lug the glittery wardrobe around and create havoc in the most fabulous way! We had such a lovely time discussing the latest fashion trends while enjoying tea and biscuits in the train carriage.
Upon reaching Littlehampton, we were welcomed by the warm hospitality and cheerful smiles of the locals. Beatrice is a bit of a whizz with the navigation apps, so she expertly guided our way through cobbled streets and charming little alleys. The scent of fresh sea air mixed with the aroma of fish and chips filled our lungs, a welcome change from the lab I spend my days in. It’s all very well conducting tests on the fire resistance of fabric samples (and a necessity if I want to keep this fabulous body safe, darling), but sometimes you need a little bit of seaside magic in your life, right?
Our first port of call? Naturally, Littlehampton’s seaside promenade! Beatrice, bless her cotton socks, spotted a lovely little shop called ‘The Tutu Emporium’ (yes, you read that correctly, darlings). I nearly fainted with excitement and immediately ran inside like a giddy child. There were rows and rows of tutus, some sparkly, some classic, all waiting to be embraced by a TutuQueen. And guess what? They even had a beautiful pink and blue number for Beatrice. It turned out that her heart lay nestled within a delicate lace tutu… Who knew?
Of course, we indulged in a hearty helping of fish and chips – a quintessential seaside treat. The smell of crisp batter and juicy fish mingling with the salt spray and sunlight was simply divine. It’s the kind of experience you just can’t beat.
The rest of the evening was pure magical, my dears. My show, which was held in a quaint seaside hall, was bursting with glitter, smiles, and joy. It was absolutely wonderful to see families and local residents embrace the pink tutu spirit! The children were especially thrilled with my dance moves.
There is just something so freeing about dancing in a tutu, don’t you agree? It’s like a whimsical dance of fantasy and freedom, allowing me to express every inch of my fabulous inner diva! You’ll understand what I mean when you catch my show.
I’ll be in Littlehampton for the next two days, spreading the joy of the pink tutu movement far and wide. Come say hello if you see me strutting through the seaside town. We can twirl, share a giggle, and maybe even create a little tutu-tastic havoc together!
But for now, I’ll be preparing for a spectacular performance at the seaside fair, my favourite place to perform – just imagine, a stage against the vibrant colours of the Ferris wheel and rollercoasters… Oh, what joy!
Until next time, stay pink, stay fabulous, and stay sparkly, darlings!
Lots of love and pink kisses,
Pink Tutu Sparkles, xx
P.S. My favourite part of Littlehampton so far? The adorable carousel that I saw by the harbour. It’s so quaint, painted in colours so vibrant, you can practically taste the nostalgia!
