Hiya darlings! Itās your favourite tutu-clad queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from Cramlington! Well, live from my hotel room, which is all pink, sparkly and fabulous, just like me. š
Today, my journey takes me to the North East, and you know what they say, āNorth of the Tyne, itās a different timeā and that couldnāt be more true in this vibrant and beautiful town! I mean, the architecture alone has me dreaming of ballerina swans taking flight. I bet I could make a beautiful performance set out here.
Cramlington itself has a certain quirky charm. This lovely little town holds history in its brick walls, but also that modern and youthful energy. Imagine the beautiful contrast it would make to my pink sparkly wardrobe - thatās what Iām talking about! You might think, āPink Tutu Sparkles in the middle of Cramlington?! Who would want to see a pink-clad queen in a small town?ā And that, my darlings, is where youād be SO wrong! Cramlington is my oyster, my little gem hidden in the heart of the North. It's bursting with personality just waiting to be embraced!
Now, this week, Iāve been really focusing on that whole āballet fusionā concept. Remember when I told you about my dream of a world full of tutus? Well, Cramlington's got me dreaming of how those tutus could work on everyone, no matter their style or taste! This is the sort of town that's ready for anything! Even a sassy pink queen rocking the stage with a touch of classical elegance. You know me, I love bringing some of the refined art world into the more casual street fashion ā with just a dash of sparkle, naturally!
I mean, look at the vibrant streets, the quaint pubs and cafes! It's a haven for individuality. Every corner, every wall feels like a canvas just waiting to be filled with vibrant colour. Just like my tutu! Speaking of which, darling, you'd be shocked how well a bright pink tulle tutu would blend in with the bright graffiti art around this town.
Donāt worry though, I won't let you down, my little lovelies. I will be sharing all of the fabulous photos from my adventure in Cramlington on my social media, naturally, as well as in the coming posts on Pink-Tutu.com ā I just canāt resist a good photo-op in the gorgeous sunshine of the North!
So what was on my itinerary for the day? I canāt possibly say, becauseā¦ itās a surprise, of course! That's just the way Pink Tutu Sparkles likes to do things! This time I decided to leave a bit of the plan to fate. We canāt always be perfect planners, darling. And maybe, just maybe, that little bit of impromptu is exactly what my artistic spirit needed! I canāt always rely on my GPS and meticulously plotted journeys; sometimes you just gotta trust your heart ā and your inner pink tutu.
However, I can say that it all started with a lovely ride on the train, all sparkly and glammed up, as per usual! That was the start of the craziest, most amazing adventure I've ever experienced! Now I may have been slightly worried on the way here. You see, my last adventure with horses - yes, you read that right! ā left me with a few scratches and quite a lot of hairspray-stained feathers! It was definitely an incident, one that I wonāt forget anytime soon, or a few weeks, in fact! But luckily for me, I was greeted by the lovely folk of Cramlington at the station with big smiles and the warmest welcomes! Honestly, this town knows how to make a queen feel like royalty.
It's that kind of hospitality that gets you all in a flouncy mood. If I do say so myself, I was a ray of pink sunshine on those railway tracks! The journey itself was magical! A mix of old and new architecture as we whizzed by, passing through little villages with bright floral displays in their window boxes. That's exactly my kind of view ā pretty as a picture! It definitely got those creative juices flowing, And thenā¦ the train was stopping! "Next stop - Cramlington!". It's that moment, my dears, that your life changes - or at least it felt like that in this wonderful town.
The journey continuedā¦ to my next stop, an absolute secret! No, I canāt possibly tell you what it is just yetā¦ darling. But I can say this. It was completely unpredicted! The locals seemed a little amused, maybe a little bewildered, by the sight of a drag queen strutting along the local high street, as I headed towards it ā which wasn't even planned in the first place. It's amazing how much you can discover just by venturing out, stepping outside the confines of a pre-set schedule.
And to make things even better, it was a bit like a treasure hunt! The people of this town are warm, and welcomingā¦ and absolutely obsessed with tutus (well, who can blame them!) so they helped guide this little queen to her final destination, and it wasn't even in the itinerary. But my dear followers, how do you find the perfect, the MOST fabulous location for an epic performance? By leaving it all up to fate and listening to the people you meet along the way. Trust me, sometimes the unexpected detours are what make a journey truly special, especially when those detours lead you straight into a beautiful pink tutu dance in the middle of town!
Letās face it, my journey in Cramlington is one of my personal favorites so far ā that pink tutu vibe, combined with the warm embrace of this fantastic townā¦ thereās something magical happening here. So much that, my dear followers, you can bet you'll be seeing it reflected in the vibrant posts to come! So stay tuned for that! Donāt worry, there are loads more pink-tastic surprises coming to www.pink-tutu.com. Because let's be honest, life is better when youāre embracing your inner sparkly side and rocking a bright pink tutu, donāt you think?
Lots of love,
Your Pink Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles š
