Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and I'm just bursting with excitement to tell you all about my trip to Morley! I've been waiting ages to tell you all about it, and, as you know, my little blog here at www.pink-tutu.com is the perfect place for sharing all the pink tutu-tastic moments of my life!
Now, you might be wondering, how does a drag queen get to Morley? Well, my darlings, it was a journey filled with sunshine and surprises! This week's travelling adventures saw me embarking on a glorious train journey. I love train travel. It's just so… civilised. The soft clickety-clack of the wheels, the gentle swaying, the glimpses of fields and rivers as we whisk along… oh, I just adore it! Plus, let’s be honest, it's the perfect opportunity to catch up on all the latest fashion magazines. I mean, a girl’s gotta stay on top of her trends, even when travelling in style, wouldn't you agree?
But of course, no Pink Tutu Sparkles journey is complete without a splash of colour, so you can bet your bottom dollar I had a fabulous pink tutu on for the trip! The journey took about three hours, and let me tell you, the other passengers on the train absolutely loved it! From little children giggling and pointing at my sparkling, sequined skirt, to even the grandmas doing double takes and giving me the biggest smiles, it was just heartwarming. The good old tutu never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face, and that's what makes my mission to spread the joy of the pink tutu worth every minute!
Now, when I arrive in a new place, the first thing I do is hit up the local shops and find some delightful local treasures. You know, I can never resist a good vintage find, or maybe even some gorgeous handmade crafts – there’s nothing like finding that perfect sparkly bauble to add to your wardrobe! My trip to Morley was no different, darling. I found a darling little shop filled with beautiful vintage clothing, perfect for those glamorous evenings! And what's more, I even picked up a stunning antique silver locket for a birthday gift – oh, it’s just too darling, darling!
Now, as I mentioned, the main reason for my journey to Morley was the chance to perform for you lovelies! I've always loved being a part of Morley’s vibrant community. The town has a real sense of history and character. In the centre of town there's this beautiful square and just to think of all the people who've walked there throughout history just gets me so excited about the history that surrounds us! So I just knew I had to bring my dazzling Pink Tutu Sparkles show to their annual carnival, and what a joyous experience it was! I was the main attraction in the parade – and you betcha, the crowds absolutely adored me! I love these sort of family-friendly events, watching those wide-eyed little ones get caught up in the fun and the energy of it all! My setlist, as always, was filled with a dazzling mix of classic pop, modern bangers, and my own original, pink tutu-tastic tunes. I always love seeing the smiles on everyone's faces when I start dancing – nothing beats the joy of making people feel good with my tunes, my glitz, and my infectious energy!
One thing I loved about Morley is that it's known for having this fantastic little theatre group, with the local amateur dramatics. The kind of community theatre where you know everybody and can join in. I always feel so much affinity for these community theatres and groups. You get all walks of life from young kids who love being on stage and all the oldies who keep theatre alive – and what’s more they even held a pink tutu themed fundraising night, darling! It was lovely!
Oh, but my trip wouldn’t be complete without a visit to their town park. Such a beautiful little area with manicured gardens and trees for miles. It just felt so peaceful after the buzz of the carnival. There’s something so serene about being amongst nature, feeling the sun on my face and the fresh air filling my lungs, you know? It was a good opportunity to sit on a bench and admire my new antique silver locket. Oh, how I love the details and the workmanship of that bygone era!
But no matter how much I love Morley, my sweet little darlings, I'll always come home. My Derbyshire roots are firmly planted, but that doesn't stop me from getting my travel fix and spreading my love of the pink tutu around the globe! If you are near Morley – pop in for a day out and then let me know all about it – and who knows, perhaps I’ll see you there soon!
Now, I’m off to explore the next adventure… maybe a horseback ride to a medieval castle or a thrilling train journey across a new landscape… oh the possibilities, darling, the possibilities! Until next time, remember to keep it pink, keep it sparkling, and always remember: if you’re feeling brave and ready to join the pink tutu revolution, just ask! After all, every single one of you deserves to sparkle!
