Hello darlings! It's your Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with a brand new post about my adventures. Today we're going to be taking a trip to the lovely Morden, which I must say, was a truly enchanting journey! You know I love a good railway trip - those carriages, the click-clack on the track - all so terribly delightful!
First things first, a confession. I might have slightly overpacked my suitcase... Again. It’s always a challenge squeezing all my finery into one bag, especially when you’re aiming for a maximalist look with every outfit, darlings! My magnifique feather boa collection takes up a lot of space, you know. But that's what the joy of travel is all about! Making the most of every space.
After my glamorous train ride - I might have been slightly tempted to wear my show-stopping pink feather boa on the journey - I arrived in Morden. It's quite a charming little town, with quaint shops and a truly delightful park that gave me an excellent opportunity for a quick, tutu-tastic photo op. Let’s just say those vibrant floral displays were practically begging for a pink tutu to brighten them up!
Speaking of brightening, my performance at the Morden Town Fair was, as always, absolutely splendid. You know, you get the best reactions when you turn up somewhere wearing a pink tutu, all twirling and shimmying, right? This town fair, well, let's just say they've never seen a tutu-tastic spectacle like mine. Imagine my surprise when a group of little girls, with their hair adorned in pink ribbons and their eyes sparkling with delight, ran up to me, wanting to learn my sparkly routines!
It turns out, these adorable youngsters were in the local ballet school. Honestly, it warmed my pink-tuted heart to see the next generation of ballet dancers! Such energy and joy in their little eyes! After all, isn’t that what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about? Spreading joy, a sprinkle of glitz, and of course, the beautiful enchantment of ballet! We had a little workshop, a bit of tutuing, and then I gave a small show – their parents couldn't stop gushing! It reminded me of why I wear the tutu, darling, to inspire others, to spark a love for the beauty of movement, and the dazzling wonder of a good dance!
Morden Town Fair ended up being a spectacular triumph, filled with delicious homemade cakes (with a special mention for the incredible raspberry and pink meringue!), talented musicians (their use of pink sequins in their costumes… brilliant!), and of course, some fabulous local artists! I even spotted a fellow pink enthusiast! You know, someone wearing a bright pink cardigan with sparkly buttons, who simply radiated the sheer loveliness of the colour. I know, it was divine! We shared a delightful little chat about the allure of pink and even discussed our favourite ways to incorporate it into our outfits. What's the best way to tell if someone is a Pink Tutu Sparkles fan? Their handbag must be at least half-pink! I mean, just half a pink handbag would never do, darling! It has to be pink, or you are no friend of mine!
You see, my dears, it's moments like these that really highlight what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about: Connecting people, celebrating creativity, and most importantly, bringing a touch of magic and sparkle wherever I go.
Of course, after the fair, I needed a delicious slice of cake to replenish my sparkle reserves. I managed to track down a local café, a little haven of pink, with delicious pastel macarons and a heart-shaped pink éclair. After my whirlwind of pink, the café gave me the opportunity to reflect, plan for the next chapter of the Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure, and ponder the everlasting allure of tutus!
As the sun began to set on Morden, painting the sky in beautiful hues of pink, I realised, once again, just how much I love travelling. I wouldn't trade those captivating views of the countryside, the joy of a new destination, and the constant sense of discovery for the world for all the tea in China. Even a very large teapot with all the delicious pink tea you could ever imagine.
But that’s a whole new post for a different day.
Until then, stay fabulous, stay sparkling, and of course, never be afraid to twirl!
XOXO
