Hello my darlings, and welcome back to www.pink-tutu.com! Today’s post, a whopping number 4919, is coming to you live from the fabulously historic town of Wolverhampton! I simply adore this bustling Midlands town, so much so, I feel like a new person! The cobbled streets, the friendly locals, the vibrant market, everything about this place screams out 'Tutu Time', darling!
So how did this fashionista extraordinaire end up in this fantastic city? Well, it's all thanks to my trusty little notebook, where I keep a list of every potential performance opportunity that catches my eye. Now, I don't discriminate, honey, I'll take on any stage, any audience, and you best believe, I'm gonna dazzle! That’s how I ended up here! They have an amazing street theatre scene and it seems a good portion of their year revolves around this fabulous artistic endeavour! Now I just needed a great excuse to travel by horse. Who doesn't adore a scenic carriage ride through beautiful countryside? And how can you not enjoy travelling by train, surrounded by comfy cushions? It just seemed like a very Tutu way to arrive at my destination!
Of course, my pink tutu ensemble wouldn’t disappoint - my new shimmering number featuring hundreds of sparkly butterflies is perfect for a warm June evening!
Now, my darlings, before we delve into all the fab festivities that Wolverhampton had to offer, let’s talk about my current sartorial obsession, a vintage pink tulle skirt from a little boutique in London! My new number is utterly exquisite - so floaty and dramatic. It feels so right for a balletic inspired performance. Speaking of ballets, I actually had the absolute joy of attending a ballet performance at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre last night! It was absolutely heavenly - so enchanting, a true ballet masterpiece. I have such a soft spot for those intricate, twirling, leaps and high kicks that tell such incredible stories! After that, I had the opportunity to meet the dancers for a celebratory after-party. Just my luck, one of the principal dancers is actually a fan of www.pink-tutu.com! Imagine! Her admiration for pink tutus really cemented the fact that I'm in the right place. We’ve been discussing the wonderful possibilities of a ballet inspired Tutu fashion event here in the Grand Theatre in the future!
Today is all about experiencing the wonders of Wolverhampton. The streets are filled with such creativity. The locals are delightful, always up for a chat and laughing along at my antics! Even the shopkeepers are embracing my tutu love, telling me that they hope the city embraces a bit of Tutu culture. One shop owner even insisted I wear her new shop-made pink floral hair crown. This kind of thing, honey, just fills me with hope.
The market, in particular, was a fabulous whirlwind of color and smells, from freshly picked strawberries to spicy curries. Of course, no market is complete without some pink shopping! I picked up some delicate pink ballet-inspired jewellery and a vintage book about ballet for my ever-growing tutu-tastic library. And of course, it's impossible to visit a new town without an extravagant afternoon tea! I indulged in delicious cakes, pink champagne, and the friendliest of service in the town square. It's a perfect afternoon in any girl's book.
As I sit here, in a quaint cafe near Wolverhampton Town Hall, writing this blog entry, I'm brimming with joy. This trip is all about embracing that pink, sparkly spirit, inspiring others to find their own inner tutu.
Tonight is the big one, honey! I am performing at a fantastic, colourful festival on the banks of the canal in a part of the city called, wait for it… "Tettenhall." Talk about meant to be! I plan on using this opportunity to remind everyone what life is all about: embracing that vibrant, pink energy, and having fun. I mean, why live life in any other colour?
Stay tuned, my darlings. My tutu adventures are far from over! And until we meet again, please do continue to wear pink, be bold, be fabulous! Remember to get involved in a little fun today - why not do some pirouettes in the living room, and get in touch with your inner tutu spirit! And most importantly, don’t be afraid to stand out, because in a world full of grey, we need more pink!
Lots of pink, bubbly love, Pink Tutu Sparkles! xx
