Hiya lovelies! It's your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, and I'm positively sparkling with excitement after a whirlwind trip to Blackpool! As a queen who worships at the altar of all things pink and twirly, you know a seaside escape was simply de rigueur.
Let's be honest, Blackpool has always been synonymous with glamour, a true gem on the British coastline. I've been dreaming of a visit for ages, picturing myself sashay-ing down the Promenade in a vibrant pink tutu, my sequins reflecting the Blackpool illuminations! And I'm thrilled to say, the reality was even better.
Travelling in Style:
Now, I know some people may opt for a dreary old coach or a petrol-guzzling car, but there's just no comparison to the sheer romance of train travel. A comfy carriage, the soothing rattle of the tracks, the opportunity to watch the world whizz by, and oh, the fabulous opportunity to showcase a bold, pink and shimmering travel outfit! Imagine the jealous looks I received as I sashayed down the train, the envious stares and whispers! It's all part of the Pink Tutu Sparkles magic.
I reached Blackpool just in time to witness the vibrant colours and enchanting energy of the Blackpool illuminations. You know how much I love all things glitzy and sparkly, so needless to say, the experience was a true feast for my senses!
Taking the Stage in Blackpool:
Being a true Pink Tutu queen, my primary mission, as always, was to spread the gospel of tutus. So naturally, I booked myself a spot at a local pub in Blackpool, a cosy and welcoming little establishment tucked away in a quiet corner of the town. They even have a stage, just perfect for my shimmering extravaganza! The crowd was fabulous! A wonderful mix of locals, tourists, and fellow drag queens - each and every one embraced my pink-tastic presence. They were mesmerized by my ballet-inspired routine (it's got a good side kick!). My shimmering pink tutu, embellished with gleaming silver sequins, reflected the bright lights of the pub, and I practically flew across the stage! The atmosphere was electrifying, and everyone was chanting 'Tutu queen! Tutu queen!'. That, my darlings, is exactly the sort of reception a Pink Tutu Queen craves.
Discovering the Blackpool Ballet:
And you know, you can't be in a seaside town like Blackpool and not indulge in a bit of ballet. There’s nothing I enjoy more than attending ballet performances - the graceful movements, the beautiful costumes, the breathtaking stories… it’s an utter delight! There's something truly captivating about the precision and artistry of ballet, especially with a generous dose of shimmering tutus! Thankfully, Blackpool had a wonderfully talented ballet company performing that weekend, and you'd be absolutely delighted to hear - they did an entire ballet show with pink tutus! Just divine! The costumes were incredible – not just one shade of pink, but dozens, and some tutus even had amazing pink and sparkly patterns!
The Great Pink Tutu Shopping Spree:
Let's face it, darling, what's a visit to the seaside without a spot of shopping, right? And a pink shopping spree, I might add? As if my pink tutu collection needed any more sparkle, but I simply couldn't resist. I am after all, on a quest to turn every woman, man, and child in the land into a tutu enthusiast!
The Blackpool arcades, my loves, were overflowing with treasures! I snapped up an amazing pink sequined purse, a sparkly pink tutu hair bow that's fit for a queen, a sparkly pink shawl that even made me feel fabulous, and the pièce de résistance, a gorgeous, glittery pink-tutu dress - for an extra bit of sparkle and sass. Oh, and let’s not forget those fluffy pink tutu slippers with sparkly little bows – a perfect match for the rest of my wardrobe. I felt positively radiant as I emerged from the shops, the sea air whispering 'you look fabulous, queen'!
Pink Tutu Inspiration at Blackpool Tower:
Every now and then, I find myself inspired to step outside of my pink tutu comfort zone - not to abandon the tutus, but to embrace different shades of pink. For example, take Blackpool Tower, now, there's a true symbol of glamour! I loved wandering around the tower's magnificent ballroom, filled with ornate chandeliers and breathtaking views over the city, and thought "what better location for a Pink Tutu Queen"? Then inspiration struck - I could embrace the pink sunset over the sea by trying on some deeper rose pink hues! I managed to find some divine silky, flowy, rose-pink dress fabrics from a haberdashery in Blackpool that perfectly match my new vision, and now my head is swirling with ideas for pink tutu designs. The possibilities are endless!
Leaving Blackpool with a Pink Sparkle:
Every day as a Pink Tutu queen, is a joy and an adventure. It's a journey filled with sparkles, laughter, and love - always spreading my love of tutus far and wide! Leaving Blackpool, I was already dreaming of my next big, Pink Tutu inspired adventure!
You know I have a busy life juggling the science lab and my Pink Tutu performances. However, no matter what science throws at me, there will always be room for a tutu, a sparkly bow, and of course, plenty of pink in my life.
Stay tuned for more, lovely lovelies, I’ll be back soon with more Pink Tutu adventures to share, including my top tips for creating your very own Pink Tutu look! Until next time, darling - stay shiny!
Yours in Pink Sparkle,
