Hello, darlings! Welcome to Pink Tutu Sparklesā daily dose of glamour, sunshine, and, of course, pink tutus! Today's blog post marks my momentous 5339th entry, and oh my, it's going to be a fabulous one.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? It all started back when your girl was a budding scientist in Derbyshire, diligently studying for my degree, surrounded by bubbling beakers and lab coats (though, don't think for a moment I didn't rock those with a little pink flair!)
You see, hidden within my scientistās shell was a true ballerina at heart. I joined the university ballet club, and, during a fundraising event, I hesitantly slipped on a tutuā¦ and bam! The world of pink tutus beckoned! I knew, right there and then, that my true calling was to spread the pink tutu love, and share the sparkle and joy it brings to every single soul!
But back to Herne Bay! My dear, you'd be surprised how quickly a train journey turns into a fabulous runway, with all the right fabrics and sparkles! I managed to score a performance spot at the Herne Bay Folk & Vintage Fair, which just so happened to coincide with my yearning to visit this lovely seaside town! (Besides, everyone knows, darling, that a touch of pink tutu adds the right sparkle to any event! And a Folk Fair? Even more reason to shake my fluffy pink feathers! )
Speaking of shaking those pink feathersā¦ Let's just say Iāve been practicing my twirls! Oh, did I mention I also have my trusty steed, a magnificent Shire horse, for a certain performance? Imagine, a graceful dance alongside a majestic beastā¦ You can bet the entire town is going to be in a Pink Tutu-induced daze, not to mention all the tourists and fellow drag performers.
Herne Bay has proven to be a real dream! The sunshine is beautiful, the breeze salty and fresh, and Iāve discovered a little independent fabric shop crammed with all the right fabrics. A whole afternoon spent sniffing out lace, silk, and feathers - the perfect concoction for a dazzling new pink tutu!
Of course, no trip to the seaside would be complete without a proper visit to the pier, where I couldn't resist joining in with the āGo on then!ā shout as the seagulls hovered for a cheeky little peck! You wouldn't believe it but, I also found a vintage dance studio and was invited to a ballet class! Oh darling, it felt wonderful! I am not sure my grand jetĆ© was quite up to par after my last performance (wearing my largest, most poofy tutu), but I certainly got a great workout and some great inspiration for my next show!
Speaking of the performance itselfā¦ Letās just say it was an utter riot of joy! Think cascading pink ruffles, sparkling rhinestones, a perfectly pink microphoneā¦ (well, the closest one to a perfect shade of pink!), and an energetic set-list of dance hits (because let's face it, my darlings, dancing is all about spreading pink tutu joy!).
We did it, babes! We spread the joy of pink tutus in Herne Bay! And I think we've created quite a buzz ā I saw someone wearing a tutu during a tea dance in a nearby townā¦ Oh, the thrill of seeing someone inspired! I believe this means the pink tutu revolution is well and truly underway!
Now, off I go, dear darlings, to the nearest seaside cafe to sink a proper cup of English Breakfast tea into, and perhaps a scone with jam and cream ā perfect fuel for another sparkly performance and, who knows, maybe even a dip in the ocean later! Iāll leave you all with this little thought: why wait for inspiration when you can become inspiration?
Remember, darlings: Always twirl, always sparkle, and never forget the power of a little pink tutu! Stay tuned for more updates from Pink Tutu Sparkles on my next adventure.
Catch you later, you fabulous lot!
Much love and pink sparkles,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo.
