Hey darlings! It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, and you know what time it is – time for a new blog post! 💅💋🎉 This one's coming to you live from the charming little town of Bournville, a town steeped in chocolatey goodness and just the sort of place where dreams come true! (Especially if those dreams involve pink tutus.) 💖
You see, my dears, I'm a girl who lives for adventure! ✈️🚗🐴 I just can't resist the allure of a new place, a new sound, a new stage! And since Bournville is practically dripping in history and brimming with beauty, I couldn't resist packing my bags and getting my glam on! This week's post, number 5920 (how many of you are keeping track? I just know there are some real tutu-tastic enthusiasts out there!) is a whirlwind journey through the cobblestone streets, a love letter to all things vintage, and, of course, a testament to the fabulousness that is a pink tutu in a chocolate wonderland. 🍫👑💖
As I sashayed into town, I felt a jolt of pure magic. It wasn't just the sweet aroma of chocolate in the air, but something about the town itself. It’s like stepping back in time, with its quaint streets, charming Victorian buildings, and an air of calm serenity that’s utterly captivating. 🕰️🌸
But even in a town with a timeless charm like Bournville, the first rule of Pink Tutu Sparkles is… well, let's be honest, there's only one rule! 👑✨💖 Shine bright, and never stop rocking your tutu! I made sure everyone knew that as I swept through the town centre, turning heads with every swish of my fuchsia feathers and the gentle tinkling of the diamante that adorned my hot pink tutu. ✨💅💋
My first stop, of course, had to be the Cadbury World! 🍫 You wouldn’t believe the size of this place! It was like walking through a chocolatey wonderland with all these historical exhibitions and interactive activities. 🧑🏭🍫🍭 There was even this little cinema room with the most glorious chocolatey story. (I swear, darling, I’m tempted to recreate that scene for my next show, just to recreate all the deliciousness!) But it wouldn't be a proper Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure without a touch of the dramatic. So, imagine this, the most magical scene in the whole world, Cadbury World with its decadent chocolate history, but it was me, the Queen of Pink, in a magnificent tutu, twirling through with an ethereal air that made the air itself smell of marshmallows and buttercream. It was magical, it was spectacular! And you bet it brought joy to all the children in sight. 💕💖💖
Later that evening, I found myself drawn to a stunningly old Victorian church that stood majestically in the heart of Bournville. ⛪️ The intricate stonework was beautiful, the soaring spire pierced the evening sky. The place was utterly silent, yet the air shimmered with such a powerful, almost spiritual aura. It’s not often that I experience that feeling, so of course, I had to channel that ethereal energy into a bit of performance!
A lone street lamp illuminated the beautiful façade as I did what I do best – a little pink-tutu ballet! I twirled with the grace of a hummingbird, the movement mirroring the Gothic grandeur of the architecture. And let me tell you, dears, this church was designed for tutu! (Oh, how I wish I could share my experience in a visual format - I’m dying to show off this majestic church dressed to the nines in pink tutu glam. But as I’ve only ever done some photoshoots for my friend the drag artist Ruby Stardust in her glittery sequin and feather wardrobe (it takes ages for them to come back from the cleaners!) and a few headshots by my best friend Danny… (who still is obsessed with me in that pink feathered tutu!), so my darling reader, you'll just have to take my word for it, and visualise all the fabulousness!) 💕👑🩰
I wouldn't leave out the town's delicious culinary offerings, either. From the charming cafes and bakeries with their soothing aromas of fresh pastries and creamy coffee to the pubs with their invitingly cozy atmospheres. (I even spotted a charming pub with a charming sign depicting a rather grumpy-looking chocolate bunny smoking a pipe - so very Bournville. 🥰).
As I continue my adventures in the pink-tutu clad life, I find that a lot of these journeys really do take on their own characters, their own vibe, their own sparkle! I could tell from the start that this would be one of my most memorable trips. Bournville isn't just a place – it’s an experience, and one I'll be carrying in my heart long after I leave. It is the story of how even a simple chocolate town can hold a magical story of dreams coming true! 💕✨💖
So, there you have it, my darlings! A taste of the wonderous adventure that was my visit to Bournville, the chocolate-filled haven that stole a piece of my heart! Did you like reading about it? What other locations in the UK should I be adding to my tour? Let me know in the comments below! 💖💖💖
Until next time, keep rocking your tutus and keep those smiles shining bright!
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
