Folkestone Frolics: Tutu Travels and Train Rides! π©°
Hello my darlings, it's your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you a splash of pink and a sprinkle of magic from the charming coastal town of Folkestone! π
This is post number 5811, and trust me, you don't want to miss it! We're about to dive into a whirlwind of tutus, train journeys, and of course, a generous helping of pink! π
As you know, I'm always on the move, travelling the length and breadth of this lovely land in my quest to spread the gospel of tutus and turn the world pink! π This time, my adventures took me to Folkestone, a vibrant little town tucked away on the south-east coast. And let me tell you, it's a delightful gem waiting to be discovered! π
My journey began with a delightful train ride. Nothing beats the feeling of wind in your hair and the gentle rhythm of the rails beneath you. Plus, let's be honest, a train provides the perfect opportunity for a fabulous fashion parade! π
Speaking of fashion, let me tell you about the incredible outfit I whipped up for Folkestone! A magnificent pink tulle tutu, of course, adorned with sparkling sequins that shimmered under the morning sun. It was paired with a dazzling fuchsia crop top, some flamboyant feather boa and, of course, my signature pink lipstick. π I felt like a shimmering princess straight out of a fairytale!
Now, Folkestone itself was a visual treat! Picturesque cobbled streets, quaint seaside shops, and charming old buildings bursting with history. I simply had to snap a few pictures in front of the famous "Folkestone Leas" β a beautiful stretch of seafront that boasts panoramic views of the English Channel. π
But this wasn't just a photoshoot trip! Oh no, my darlings, this was all about the performing! You see, my dear, Iβm a drag artist who spreads glitter and joy wherever I go. π« And I just had to share my love for dance and drag with the Folkestone community.
So, I took to the stage at the fabulous Folkestone Theatre and danced the night away to a roaring audience. We twirled, we shimmied, we spun β and let me tell you, the crowd went wild! It's always such a magical experience, to connect with the people through dance and music, to share my passion for life, colour, and, yes, tutus!
The next day, I couldn't resist taking a peek at the iconic Folkestone Harbour Arm. π’ It's a charming collection of quirky restaurants, bars, and independent shops. I wandered around, admiring the view and indulging in a delicious lobster roll. It was absolutely delightful! π¦
Before leaving, I knew I had to embrace the spirit of Folkestoneβs creative energy. So, I took a class at the town's popular ballet school. Let me tell you, the instructors were fantastic and I learnt some dazzling moves that I can't wait to incorporate into my next performance. β¨ We're talking grand jetΓ©s, arabesques, and elegant port de bras - oh my!
Of course, no visit to Folkestone would be complete without a trip to the townβs charming vintage shops. π°οΈ They were brimming with colourful treasures, perfect for a Tutu Queen like me. I came back with an absolutely gorgeous vintage broach, which will perfectly adorn my next pink tutu ensemble.
As my adventure in Folkestone came to an end, I realised that this captivating seaside town is bursting with colour, creativity, and an incredible sense of community. And while I may have left a little sparkle behind, I know I'll be back to discover even more of this delightful place.
Stay tuned, darlings, as I continue to explore this magical land in my ever-so-pink tutu, sharing my love for the fabulous with every step I take. Until next time, keep your sparkle shining! β¨
Love always,
Your Pink Tutu Sparkles π
