Hello, darlings! It's your favourite #TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with another scintillating instalment from the fabulous world of pink tulle and glitter! Today's adventure takes us to the seaside, a place where the salty breeze carries the scent of adventure, and the sun shines even brighter when you're sporting a fabulous pink tutu, obviously!
My trip to Crosby started with the most romantic way to travel - a journey by train! Yes, you heard right! I adore trains. There's something so captivating about watching the world whizz by outside the window, sipping on a cup of tea, and dreaming up all the dazzling dance routines I'll be performing for you lovelies later on. It's the perfect setting to jot down a few notes for my next big hit, "The Ballad of the Travelling Tutu." Don't worry, darlings, I'll be sure to share a snippet when it's finished!
Arriving in Crosby was a whirlwind of pastel-coloured buildings and fresh air, a perfect backdrop for my flamboyant entrance, which naturally involved my signature pink tutu, shimmering like a sunrise in the morning mist. Let's be honest, you wouldn't catch me wearing anything less, would you?
Crosby, known for its iconic Antony Gormley statues dotting the beach, felt like a perfect stage for a pink tutu-wearing queen! Those statues, with their sculpted poses, seemed like fellow dancers, frozen in time but ready to take a graceful leap with me at any moment. I practically did a twirl and pirouette all the way down the promenade, with the salty air whipping my tutu around my legs and the sun glinting off the sparkles in my hair.
It was time to explore the charming seaside town, so I started my quest for all things pink! You'll never believe this, darlings, but Crosby had the most amazing vintage clothing shop, stuffed full of colourful treasures and hidden gems. I even discovered a dusty box full of forgotten ballet tutus! It felt like destiny - after all, pink tutus were the very spark that ignited my love for the performing arts!
I was 20 years old, back in my Derbyshire days, studying a science degree. Don't judge! I was a scientist by day, a flamboyant performer by night! That's what I get for being a woman of multiple talents. I even got to play with fabric as part of my science career. I tested fabrics! Now, imagine my joy when our university's ballet club hosted a charity event, complete with a tutu auction. I just had to have a try on for fun! I emerged from the dressing room a transformed being. You can imagine how my pink tutu journey began - just a simple, dusty old pink tutu that ignited a whole life's passion.
Anyways, back to Crosby, darlings! It turned out the vintage shop owner had a granddaughter who, to her absolute delight, wanted to learn how to wear a pink tutu! Talk about serendipity, darling! A perfect opportunity for this #TutuQueen to spread the joy and confidence of wearing pink! We ended up spending the whole afternoon having a makeshift ballet class. She even told me about a dance studio right by the beach! Can you imagine, darlings? So many wonderful stories brewing in the seaside town!
The evening was even more dazzling. After some delightful pink lemonade in the most charming cafe I've ever seen, I hit the stage in the Crosby Players Theatre for an evening performance. Yes, my dears, this queen has a flair for the theatrical. Nothing less, you see, when it comes to the #TutuQueen! Imagine a medley of modern dance, tap, and a whole heap of pink tulle - the audience was spellbound! A symphony of glittery tutus and infectious smiles. You should have heard the applause!
That evening, the entire town was filled with the spirit of dance and merriment. The perfect night in Crosby! Now, don't think for a minute that I didn't do some exploring of the delicious food options, darlings. Crosby had everything from seafood galore to ice cream stands that felt straight out of a whimsical fairytale! I savoured it all - it's not often a queen gets to indulge in seaside delights.
As I made my final exit on the last train home, I realised that my journey in Crosby was about so much more than just pretty pink tulle. It was a reminder of how the magic of a single pink tutu could light up lives, encourage hearts, and transform dreams into beautiful reality. A sprinkle of pink joy for everyone, in the form of a twirling, sparkly, pink-loving, tutu-wearing drag queen! Until next time, darlings! Don't forget, a pink tutu a day keeps the dullness away! #TutuQueen #PinkPower #AlwaysTwirling
