Hello my darlings! It’s your favourite pink-tutu-wearing, sparkly-queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with another exciting adventure for you!
This time, I’ve taken my pink tulle and feather boa to the historic town of Twickenham, nestled just south of the River Thames! As a lover of all things theatrical, how could I resist a visit to this charming location that’s practically dripping with theatrical history?
From the moment I arrived at Twickenham station, the streets seemed to whisper of performances past. My imagination took flight as I envisioned legendary dancers pirouetting through these cobblestone avenues, their tutus billowing like pink clouds in the wind.
Before heading to the heart of the town, I couldn’t resist stopping for a whimsical photo shoot under a breathtakingly beautiful weeping willow tree in the gardens of the famous Strawberry Hill House! It was truly a fairy-tale setting, with cascading branches draping over me like an ethereal canopy, framing my vibrant pink tutu like a jewel in the landscape. The soft light, the gentle breeze, and the whisper of nature surrounding me were the perfect ingredients for a magical photoshoot! I couldn't help but feel a little like a mischievous fairy, twirling with joy. 💖
Feeling positively enthralled, I continued on to the heart of Twickenham, my pink tutu bouncing happily as I explored. I simply adored the quaint shops and bustling cafes lining the high street, with their charm and old-world allure.
As a passionate fan of ballet, my visit wouldn’t have been complete without a trip to the iconic Twickenham Theatre. The air practically vibrated with the legacy of famous dancers who have graced this very stage. I just had to imagine the excitement of opening night, with shimmering costumes, soaring melodies, and the applause of captivated audiences. This incredible theatre’s history is woven into the fabric of Twickenham's soul!
Of course, no journey to Twickenham is complete without a trip to the heart of Rugby Union, Twickenham Stadium. The sight of the iconic stadium was exhilarating! Although I’m not a seasoned rugby fan, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement! And guess what? I managed to score a fantastic vintage rugby shirt that's been given a Pink Tutu Sparkles makeover. Watch out for my next fabulous post where I showcase my newest look!
After a day of whirlwind adventure, it was time for me to treat myself to a delicious supper at the lovely Ivy Café, right near Twickenham station. I chose a delectable vegan curry which was as divine as it was Instagram-worthy!
As I watched the sunset painting the sky in hues of lavender and apricot, my heart swelled with gratitude for the day's escapades. Every turn of my pink tutu-clad feet had been an enchanting discovery. From whimsical gardens to grand theatres and historical charm, Twickenham had truly enchanted my soul!
However, my adventure was far from over! It was time for my own personal stage – Twickenham was waiting to be dazzled by Pink Tutu Sparkles!
You’ve guessed it - I had a magnificent performance lined up at a charming local pub. And boy, oh boy, did those crowds come out in force! It’s one thing to take a stage for a packed London theatre, but the atmosphere at the local pub was truly something else! There was an energy and genuine love in the audience that was infectious!
Now, you may be wondering, "What was this incredible Pink Tutu Sparkles performance all about?" Well, imagine this:
A mix of shimmering colours, high kicks, a few impressive cartwheels, a whole lot of sassy, twirling joy…and, yes, I must confess, my rendition of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was absolutely irresistible, the entire pub was swaying! They even managed a respectable sing-along - the crowd was a mix of eager children, friendly locals and some fellow drag performers – you never know where you’ll encounter other drag royalty! It really made my heart flutter knowing I’d brought joy to these faces!
That's how my trip to Twickenham went – a beautiful mix of history, sparkle, performance and pure joy!
Twickenham - you’ve earned a permanent place in my pink tutu heart!
