Hey my gorgeous darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, reporting live from sunny (well, kind of… it’s a bit nippy but sunny nonetheless) Morden, London. Can you believe it, loves? This glamorous queen has reached blog post number 4790, a truly momentous occasion! Who’d have thought a girl from little old Derbyshire would find herself spinning dreams and glitter all over the world, one pink tutu at a time? And let’s be honest, my dears, a lot of you have been dying to see where I’d get to with the #PinkTutuTravels, eh? 🤫
Speaking of journeys, I reached Morden via a splendid train journey this time. Nothing beats the rhythm of the tracks and the gentle sway of the carriage. A moment to reflect, to plan, and yes, even to rehearse a little. (Can’t ever let the performance drop, not even in a first-class compartment! 😅) You see, my darlings, I’ve been dreaming of visiting the Morden Ballet Company for what feels like an eternity. I’ve devoured every interview, every performance review, and practically memorized their repertoire! It’s just one of those iconic, hidden gems that speaks to the true soul of ballet. Plus, the name! Morden! It’s simply music to a Pink Tutu’s ears, don’t you think? 💖
So, naturally, after I had my little “hello London!” moment, and yes, I did strike a sassy pose with Big Ben in the background, just for you lovely blog readers (hashtag: #PinkTutuDoesLondon), I was off to the studio. The energy was simply electrifying! ⚡ Now, I’ve danced in some spectacular places, believe me. But this… this had a truly magical quality about it. Every pirouette felt lighter, every arabesque soared higher. Perhaps it was the air itself, perhaps it was the aura of talent swirling around me, but I honestly felt a little bit lighter on my toes, as if even the pinkest of tutus could float above the stage.
My fellow ballet devotees, I urge you, do visit Morden. It's a haven for dancers, whether you're seasoned professional or simply want to experience the joy of movement. The sheer talent here is mind-boggling. Even I, Pink Tutu Sparkles, renowned for my extravagant choreography, was a little awestruck by the raw passion and grace. It's like, imagine you’re standing next to a magnificent chandelier – stunning, dazzling, intricate - but it’s a human chandelier of spinning, leaping, dancing magic. ✨
After a little impromptu dance session in the hallway with some of the aspiring ballerinas – you know, because a little Pink Tutu inspiration never hurts, darling! 😉 – I headed for a delicious afternoon tea with the lovely ladies who run the ballet school. I mean, honestly, they were a veritable symphony of elegance and poise themselves. We sipped Earl Grey, devoured clotted cream scones, and shared tales of tutu-clad dreams and aspirations. A perfect way to soak up the Morden atmosphere!
Now, my darlings, I can't forget the fashion aspect! For my Morden visit, I had to unleash my inner ballerina-diva. I paired a vibrant magenta tutu with a sheer, silver sequined bodice – the colour of moonbeams! (Gotta sparkle when the city sleeps, eh?) My makeup? Glittery, of course! But with a delicate touch, reminiscent of a dew-kissed rose. After all, ballet is elegance and beauty, not just a show of dazzling extravagance.
The streets of Morden were as inviting as a cup of hot cocoa on a snowy day, perfect for wandering about and discovering hidden treasures. Imagine this: me, in a glorious pink tutu, spinning through antique shops with treasures older than my tutu obsession! 🙈 It’s the perfect blend of vintage chic and modern sass. (Trust me, you should have seen the looks I got!) But it’s more than just fashion; it's the story, the essence of a place that I find enchanting. Each pink tutu I wear becomes a symbol, a badge of honour in my journey to discover, embrace, and spread joy wherever I go!
My final night in Morden saw me strutting my stuff in a glorious theatrical performance at the local Morden Hall. A gorgeous venue! They were charming enough to give me a stage to twirl, a mic to belt out a showstopper, and an audience ready to roar their approval. Let's just say that after a full day of pink-tutu-filled wonder, the crowd went wild!
Honestly, it was a whirlwind of excitement, ballet, laughter, and that feeling of pure joy. Every performance feels a little different, but Morden, darling, it held a very special energy, one that reminded me of why I do what I do.
So, what did I learn this time around? Well, besides that ballet dreams do come true (even for a sassy pink-tutu-loving drag queen), I realized that the power of sharing a love for beauty is truly universal. Morden taught me the grace of performance, the elegance of sharing a passion, and the joy of simply dancing to the beat of my own glittery heart.
Oh, and one more thing! It seems that Morden is going pink too! 👚💗🌸 Turns out, they’re organising a pink-tutu walk in June – just a delightful, delightful little thing! They’re asking for volunteers to don their favourite pink tutus and dance down the High Street. Now, imagine the spectacle, darling, hundreds of pink tutus swaying to a joyous tune, spreading a message of love, acceptance, and maybe, just maybe, the promise of a pink-tutu-filled world. Isn't it just glorious?!
Well, darlings, Morden has truly stolen a little piece of this pink tutu’s heart! If you haven't yet discovered this hidden gem, make it a priority – whether it's for the exquisite ballet performances, the lovely streets, the captivating atmosphere, or to find a pink tutu of your own. You never know what magic you'll uncover when you put on your best pink tutu and embrace your inner ballerina!
Till next time, my fabulous friends!
