Post #5995 - 30th May 2016
Helloooo my darlings! It’s your favourite Pink Tutu Queen, back with a blog post bursting with more pink fluff than a candy floss cloud! I've finally conquered the South Coast, and darling, let me tell you, Hove was utterly divine!
I've been on a mission, my pretties, a mission to spread the glorious gospel of pink tutus to every corner of the land! My trusty steed, a steam train of course (nothing less for a tutu-tastic traveller!), carried me down to Sussex where I set about sparkling my way into Hove's hearts.
You see, Hove holds a special place in my pink tutu-clad heart. It's a haven for all things beautiful, a coastal town overflowing with artistic spirit, quaint cafes, and more importantly... shops brimming with the most gorgeous frocks! (A girl needs her sustenance, right?)
But before I even stepped out of the station, I was already mesmerized by the town. A gentle sea breeze ruffled my tulle skirt, and the scent of salt water and sun cream drifted on the air. My first thought? Hove, darling, is perfect tutu-wearing weather!
My day began in a flurry of fuchsia, at a charming little vintage boutique brimming with delightful treasures. There I found the perfect pink beret to match my pinkest pink tutu (it’s practically glowing!).
And darling, speaking of pink, my second stop was the Brighton & Hove Theatre Royal! It's a historic beauty, full of grandeur and whispers of past performances. It made my heart sing to see this stunning venue with its plush velvet seats and chandeliers glittering like a thousand pink diamonds.
Oh, how I dreamed of performing on that stage, my pink tutu swirling, my sequins shimmering under the spotlights! Imagine the roar of the crowd, the applause, the joy... oh, to be a queen for the evening!
Of course, a proper pink princess can’t visit a seaside town without taking in the sights! Hove Beach was calling my name. So, my darling dears, I did what any self-respecting Pink Tutu Sparkles would do: I twirled. I twirled right on the shore, feeling the sand squish between my toes and the sea spray kiss my cheeks. It was truly magical!
But this was no ordinary day, oh no, darling. This was a day for divine surprises! The universe, as she’s wont to do, conspired to make my day truly extraordinary. I bumped into the most delightful fellow tutu-lover, a dear chap in a sparkling blue tutu. He'd just finished a ballet class, and my darling, his leaps were breathtaking! I was simply captivated. He told me all about his passion for ballet, how he’d been dancing since he was a lad. His story, you see, mirrored mine so beautifully.
Just like him, I began my tutu journey as a scientist (me! a scientist! Who would’ve guessed?); a world filled with molecules and formulas by day, transformed into a glittering whirlwind of tulle by night!
My story, dear friends, is a tale told in sequins and silk. You see, as a university student in Derbyshire, I discovered the transformative power of the pink tutu. My university ballet club needed extra hands for a charity event. And, darling, the rest is history! I tried on a pink tutu for the first time, and I just knew - this is who I’m meant to be! My life took a beautiful turn from lab coat to tutu, and I haven’t looked back! And now, with my heart overflowing with joy and tulle, I spread my love for the pink tutu to the world!
Oh darling, what a day! What an adventure! I can't wait to tell you all about my next one, coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled for my latest exploits on the ever-pink-er website: www.pink-tutu.com I hope you’re all rocking your pink tutus with pride! Until then, stay sassy and sparkly!
Your devoted, tutu-tastic Queen,
Pink Tutu Sparkles x
