Hello, my darling darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing, travel-obsessed drag queen, reporting live from the sunny shores of Worthing!
I must say, this seaside town has a certain charm, a 'tututastic' atmosphere that suits my sparkly self to a tee. It reminds me of a giant, open-air ballet class, all fresh sea air and delightful wind-swept tutus!
It's a little chilly today, but I’ve still been enjoying those lovely coastal walks, and you bet I wore my pink tutu. Why, you ask? Because even in a nippy February breeze, a tutu just brings that extra sparkle, don't you think? I mean, imagine me just strolling through Worthing wearing a comfy old sweater - it would be so boring! Gasp No, we're about injecting a little whimsy into life, and there's nothing better than a swirling, twirling pink tutu!
So, how did I even end up in this beautiful, seaside town? Well, you know me, I’m always on the move. My life is a non-stop flurry of sequins, glitter, and ballet slippers! A little birdy whispered about a fantastic drag opportunity at The Ritz Hotel in Worthing. I wouldn't miss a chance to dazzle in such an iconic venue, especially since they've got a beautiful art deco ballroom, perfect for a showstopping Tutu-tastic performance!
Speaking of performances, I absolutely loved my time in Worthing. I felt the crowd really embraced the energy. My signature moves went down a storm and those fabulous ladies in the front row simply loved it when I twirled right into them. You could see the glitter rain down as I danced around. That's the thing about a good performance; it's a two-way street, you know? The audience brings their joy, their smiles, and I return that in every swirling, twirling move.
Of course, no trip to Worthing would be complete without experiencing their legendary pantomime, Aladdin. My inner child was simply swooning! I mean, who doesn't love a good pantomime with those fabulous comedy moments and dazzling costumes. I think I actually squealed with excitement at the dame's jokes! But you know me, a trip to a panto means more than just enjoying the show. It’s about the delicious smell of popcorn in the air, the twinkling fairy lights which feel as though they are shining a spotlight on the beauty of everything in sight, and the anticipation as you make your way to your seat!
Speaking of anticipation, have I told you about the train journey to Worthing? Honestly, I'm a massive fan of train travel, the rhythmic clackety-clack of the wheels, and the opportunity to really make your train carriage into your very own fashion show! My favourite thing about travelling by train is that everyone is a potential spectator, waiting to be charmed by the Pink Tutu Queen! For this trip I picked up a delicious new pair of magenta high heels (always a perfect match for my pink tutu) from my favourite shoe shop. Let’s just say I strutted my way down that carriage in the most delightful manner! Just a little twirl and flick of the leg every now and then, and it made the trip so much more exciting! I swear, my fellow passengers actually started applauding and giving me a standing ovation - well, as much of a standing ovation as they could manage whilst sitting down.
But back to my travels, a big part of what I love about exploring this big, beautiful world is all the inspiration I find in unexpected places. My trip to Worthing, for instance, reminded me just how powerful a splash of pink can be, how much joy a swirling tutu can bring. It’s a feeling I want to share with everyone. That’s why, darling darlings, I have a new mission for you: I challenge each of you to find your own tutu moment. Don’t be afraid to break out of the ordinary, to find a moment where you can twirl and shine in your own way, a bit like me, with that little touch of Pink Tutu magic.
But before I head off to the next shimmering, twirling adventure, there's something important I must say. Life isn’t just about performing on a big stage or taking photos in front of a fabulous landmark; it’s about those small, precious moments of magic that we discover along the way. The conversations on the train, the warmth of a friendly smile, and the joy of simply taking in a new experience. All of this makes it so much more meaningful.
Now, I need to pack up my sparkly bag with all the essentials I need for my next performance - think feathers, lipstick, and a little something sparkly to jazz up those trusty tutus. But before I head off, remember - there is nothing quite like the feeling of twirling and sparkling! Go find your tutu moment, embrace your inner fairy princess, and keep your eyes peeled for Pink Tutu Sparkles in a town near you. Remember, life’s too short not to wear pink tutus, especially when you're travelling the world with a touch of pink magic.
Until next time, darling darlings, keep twirling!
