Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you a positively fabulous update from the cobbled streets of Cambridge. I've been saving up my pennies, glittering my stilettos and polishing my tutu for this trip – you see, Cambridge is just the place to embrace all things whimsical and fabulously pink!
It's no secret that this Pink Tutu Queen loves a good train journey – the clack-clack of the wheels, the whiff of freshly baked bread from the trolley, the endless possibilities that each station presents… It’s pure magic. But this journey felt different, darling! Maybe it was the excitement about a performance at the local fair or the prospect of soaking up the scholarly charm of Cambridge. Whatever it was, the air practically crackled with pink tulle-infused joy.
Arriving in Cambridge felt like stepping into a fairytale – a blend of grand architecture, picturesque canals and those gorgeous little shops overflowing with teas and artisanal treats. It was all so utterly charming, I swear I could hear a whimsical, lilting tune playing in the background. But the real highlight had to be the Cambridge University Ballet Club's rehearsal. Now, don't let the name fool you, darling. These ballerinas were absolutely amazing – they floated and swirled across the dance floor with such grace and elegance, it practically brought tears to my eyes! I can't even tell you how many tutus I spotted (it's a LOT!). There's just something so wonderfully dramatic about seeing those twirling tutus – a little bit magical, a lot bit exhilarating and 100% pure girly fun.
Speaking of magic, my performance at the Cambridge Fair was an absolute triumph! The locals welcomed me with open arms and squeals of delight. They loved my twirling, my sequins and my perfectly-placed glitter. They even gave me a warm hug when I ended my performance with a graceful pirouette and a flourish of my tulle. And that, darlings, is what it's all about. A community embracing the power of pink, the magic of tulle and the glorious joy of a bit of silly, fabulous fun!
The next day was all about indulging in a little bit of Cambridge’s vibrant charm. We (the gorgeous ladies and gentlemen of the local dance troupe who hosted me) meandered down narrow lanes filled with charming tea shops, wandered through university libraries with breathtaking vaulted ceilings (I imagine Hogwarts is a bit like this – if Harry Potter had a thing for pastels, darling!) and spent a whole afternoon browsing through the boutiques that line the streets. Naturally, I found some absolute treasures – a few adorable pink teacups with tiny ballet tutus, a pair of glittery pink pumps and a handful of adorable fluffy bunny rabbit ear headbands. Oh, and how could I resist this darling little clutch, shaped like a miniature vintage pink gramophone? I had to add it to my collection. It's screaming for an appearance at my next performance, don't you think?
By evening, we gathered for a lovely meal, which involved copious amounts of gossip, laughter, and giggling over delicious homemade apple crumble (I may have devoured two portions – I had to, for research purposes of course!). There is something about sitting with friends in a beautiful old building, surrounded by chatter and the aroma of a warm kitchen, that simply can't be beaten!
My stay in Cambridge felt like a dream – every moment overflowing with whimsical charm and joyous discoveries. From the elegant grace of the ballet students to the warm, welcoming faces at the fair, the city has etched itself into my heart as a place that perfectly embraces the joyous power of a pink tutu. I can't wait to share my adventures with you next week from the vibrant streets of… wait for it… Blackpool. Hold tight darlings, this Pink Tutu Queen is about to unleash a storm of sequins and a whole lotta' tulle.
And that, darlings, is exactly the way I like it.
Yours truly,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
