Hello darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles, back from a whirlwind trip to Aylesbury and ready to tell you all about it. This post is gonna be a whopper, because you know me - I always go all out for my travels, and Aylesbury was no exception! 💖
You know, it's been such a long time since I last travelled by train. With all my gigs at county fairs and small towns, I've been getting used to hitching rides with friends. But there's something just so romantic about getting all gussied up in a fab outfit (naturally, pink!) and hopping on a train for an adventure. The wind in your hair, the rolling countryside scenery, a cuppa and a delicious croissant – that’s what dreams are made of, darlings!
Anyway, my train journey was simply divine. I decided on a bold choice for the trip - a shocking pink tulle skirt with shimmering sequins, topped with a lacy pink blouse, and a gloriously over-the-top fuchsia feather boa (because, you know, who needs modesty on the train!). I made sure to keep my Tutu Queen makeup on point (the pink eyeshadow always pops on the train!), and let me tell you, my arrival at Aylesbury Station was a moment. Passengers craning their necks, children squealing in delight – it’s all about giving those train commutes a dose of glitter!
As for Aylesbury, I was blown away. What a charming little town! You could definitely feel a sense of history around every corner – so many old buildings with lovely timber framing, cobblestone streets… and then there’s the Church Street… Oh my, it’s practically a time capsule! I even found a tiny little vintage shop hidden away with the most amazing collection of hats. Honestly, I could have stayed there for hours!
But the highlight of the trip was definitely the performance. Aylesbury always welcomes drag queens with open arms (they truly have a love for fabulousness, don’t they?!) The venue itself was incredible - all red velvet, plush seats, and stage lighting that could rival a disco. They even had a balcony with a fantastic view, perfect for sipping a cocktail or two while enjoying the show.
I went for my usual signature pink tutu look, naturally, but added a special touch. This time, the skirt had swirling, sparkling tulle, just like the waltzing ballerinas in my favourite ballet! And for that extra touch of elegance, I even incorporated a few delicate silk ribbons cascading down to the floor.
You know, this Tutu Queen always loves to bring the audience a story with her performance, a story that draws them in and leaves them giggling and swaying along. This time, I channeled a whimsical princess lost in the magical world of dance. I was spinning, twirling, even incorporating a few moves from my ballet lessons! Honestly, I had the whole audience dancing in their seats by the end of it, their faces aglow with happiness!
It truly warmed my heart. Seeing so many smiling faces, little kids waving pink feather boas and parents giggling along, it makes all the hard work (and glittery wardrobe choices) worthwhile! That's what it’s all about for me, spreading happiness through sparkle and bringing a bit of Tutu Magic to the world!
But my journey didn’t end there! In true Pink Tutu fashion, I always try to squeeze in some fun local experiences during my trips. This time, Aylesbury really did deliver! We took a little walk to a gorgeous park called Aylesbury Vale Park. It was beautiful – so lush, with all sorts of green, open space. The perfect setting for a picnic with a delightful little touch of whimsy… I even wore my pink tulle skirt for this, darling! And because everyone was already in a pink tutu state of mind, it really seemed to make the park come alive with happy giggles.
Oh, and I must tell you about the wonderful bakery just around the corner from the park. This place has a bakery shelf overflowing with tempting delights. You name it, they had it – cupcakes, muffins, eclairs, tarts, cookies – everything! And let me tell you, I couldn’t resist a little pink cake shaped like a ballerina, adorned with adorable pink icing!
This little trip was full of pink magic. You see, darlings, my motto is simple: every day is an opportunity to bring some sparkle into the world! I want to show everyone that even something as simple as a pink tutu can make you feel fantastic. It's all about being happy, embracing colour and embracing your inner confidence. So what are you waiting for? Embrace the tutu! You can’t tell me you don’t want to feel this way! You know it’s in there!
Until next time, my lovelies! Remember to follow me on www.pink-tutu.com and I can’t wait to share more fabulous travel adventures with you!
Stay pink and sparkly, darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
