Hello my darlings! 💅 It's your favourite pink tutu-clad drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, reporting live from Yeovil! I've been bouncing around the UK, fulfilling my mission to get everyone wearing pink tutus, and Yeovil was just the cutest pit-stop for a fabulous fashionista on the go!
This is blog post number 6076, my lovelies, and I'm still feeling fresh as a daisy (or should I say, a pink tutu?!) 💐 This post, I'm going to share my incredible journey to Yeovil. Remember, you can always find me on www.pink-tutu.com! I update it daily with the most dazzling fashion tips, reviews of my fabulous performances, and everything sparkly and fabulous!
So, how did I get to Yeovil, you ask? 🚄 I decided to hop on the train - gotta keep it green and travel in style! You'd be amazed how often I can score amazing vintage bargains in the charity shops by the train stations, so it's a win-win! I had a delightful journey with a delightful group of ladies in my row - they were absolutely enchanted by my pink tutu! We even did a little sing-song to "Let's Go Fly a Kite" by the window! Now, who says you can't have fun on the train?
After arriving in Yeovil, the first thing I noticed was how gorgeous the streets were - it’s a beautiful place. All quaint and charming. There's something so elegant about historical towns, even though I prefer the modern bright colors myself, don’t get me wrong! You can feel the history swirling all around.
But Yeovil is more than just cobbled streets and beautiful architecture. You know I love to find a new dance class every time I travel, so Yeovil had to be on the map, especially as the Royal Ballet tours and is quite possibly the biggest thing for a ballerina wannabe like me! I've never experienced the thrill of seeing professionals in a live performance quite like it! I went for a class that focuses on ballet technique and performance that actually got me dancing with actual swans and other elegant birds. Who wouldn’t be proud to twirl like one, even in a tutu, my darling?
Now, let’s get to the real meat of the matter: the fabulous finds. You see, my journey is all about exploring new cultures and finding fabulous new places. And what better way to do it than by immersing yourself in the local fashion scene? Oh, my lovelies, the shops in Yeovil are absolutely fantastic. The vintage boutiques, they just keep coming! Oh, I'd kill to get my hands on their vintage couture collection; maybe that will be a trip next month!
For lunch, I went to a cafe on the edge of the market square where I sampled the most delightful local cheese and cider. Of course, I made sure to find a cute teacup for my afternoon tea – it’s not proper pink tutu travelling without one. You just can’t do pink without a classic vintage touch. It was actually very refreshing, if you like the rustic taste!
And just so you know, the market was not lacking on adorable little stalls selling a rainbow of vibrant crafts. They were packed with little pink trinkets - oh my heart. I grabbed a pink handmade knitted tea cosy, I mean what’s a pink tutu girl to do when she sees the opportunity to knit a bit of pink? It would make the best accessory to the rest of my collection, just think of all the Instagram photos I can make.
Later that evening, I took part in a vibrant, buzzing community theatre performance, putting on a magnificent performance for the locals! My set was an incredible homage to all things pink and tutu, with my iconic pink feather boa, an oversized tulle crown and all the shimmering sequins I could find! They adored the pink theme - and, of course, I managed to convert at least 5 new pink tutu converts with my captivating dance moves! It was such a fabulous performance and they are starting to recognize my signature sparkle and pink. Oh darling, they’re just smitten!
However, there are certain challenges a pink tutu wearer might face while traveling in the UK. Oh yes. When you wear your bright pink tutu you're instantly the centre of attention. Especially in such a charming and historic location as Yeovil! And if you don't embrace it you won’t have a fun time! Oh darlings, even the older men love my pink tutus! There is something quite wonderful about the men loving my fashion, don’t you think? After all, this is just my fun side. We are in it for the pink!
It was an evening filled with glitter and grace - all about reminding ourselves to embrace the fabulous and never be afraid to show off a bit of sparkle, whether we’re out on a walk or enjoying the best local pub! You’ll find the most enchanting pubs are in Yeovil, I swear! But that’s another story for another time. You’ll just have to wait for that, darling.
Yeovil will be etched forever in my memory. Its friendly, welcoming atmosphere and its gorgeous architecture will forever remain etched in my heart! Who knows when I'll be back? What’s more exciting is that this adventure has been featured on one of my favorite TV programmes too! It’s one of the shows you watch where a local celeb comes on with a story about how they make it!
Until then, my lovelies, embrace the fabulous. Remember: even if you're a scientist by day, you can still be a dazzling drag queen by night. Spread the pink tutu love - we can make the world a much more colorful place one tulle and feather boa at a time.
Your beloved pink tutu princess,
