Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-loving, glitter-bombing drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with post number 5306! Today, I'm bringing you sunshine and sparkles from the charming town of Morden! It's a place I've always wanted to visit, and I just knew it was the perfect spot to unleash a bit of my signature pink tutu magic.
Now, I know what you're thinking – Morden? Yes, Morden! It might not be the first place that springs to mind when you're picturing a dazzling drag performance, but believe me, darling, this little corner of London had some real hidden gems to offer.
The Journey:
For my travels to Morden, I opted for a romantic journey on the train, embracing the gentle rhythm of the tracks. I just love watching the countryside whizz by, my pink tutu swirling with excitement! Plus, there's nothing like a good old fashioned railway journey to get you in the mood for adventure.
A Dash of Tutu Magic:
As soon as I stepped off the train in Morden, I knew it was going to be a wonderful day. I mean, even the station itself felt charmingly pink! There was just something in the air...perhaps it was the anticipation for the Morden Ballet School Open Day? Don't worry darlings, you'll be hearing all about it soon!
First stop, however, was a quick visit to a local vintage shop. I found the most adorable, frilly pink dress with just a hint of lace. And let's be honest, a fabulous tutu outfit wouldn't be complete without the perfect statement dress! The shopkeeper was lovely, telling me all about the history of Morden, which, apparently, used to be a much more rural place. Imagine – pink tutus twirling through rolling fields! Don't tell me you wouldn't have loved to see that?
Ballet Bliss:
The Morden Ballet School was the next stop on my tour, and let me tell you, it was absolutely breathtaking! Seeing young aspiring ballerinas in their white tutus reminded me of my own early ballet days. Honestly, it just brings tears to my eyes remembering my very first time trying on a tutu. It was a moment that completely changed my life, launching me into the wonderful world of pink, glitter, and drag!
The school's open day was filled with delightful performances, from graceful classical pieces to vibrant contemporary dance numbers. Each piece showcased the raw talent and dedication of these future ballerinas. Honestly, their poise and energy were utterly inspiring! And I wouldn't have been surprised if I saw a little pink tutu peeking out here and there.
A Morden Tea Party:
After a whirlwind of tutus and ballet, it was time to treat myself to some quintessential Morden tea time! I found the most charming little cafe tucked away on a quaint side street. The cafe owner, a dear lady with the sweetest smile, served me the most delicious scones with clotted cream and jam. I wouldn't have traded it for the world! The cafe even had some dainty pink floral decorations, adding just a touch of my favourite colour to the charming setting.
My Final Thought:
Morden, you really have stolen a little piece of my heart! From its elegant ballet schools to its quirky vintage shops and charming tea cafes, this place really is a treasure. And just wait till I get back to my hotel and show off my brand-new dress and, of course, my beloved pink tutu! After all, you can't go anywhere without a touch of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic, can you?
