Oh, darlings! What a whirlwind this week has been! I've had such a fabulous time exploring the lovely town of Scunthorpe, and let me tell you, the place has more to offer than you might think. It was a real blast from the past – a little slice of vintage charm tucked away in the heart of the country, much like my favourite pink feather boa, if you catch my drift!
First things first, we need to talk about this week’s ensemble! My fellow sparkle-enthusiasts, you know how much I adore the colour pink and all its glorious variations. And who doesn’t love a twirly, voluminous tulle masterpiece? So, imagine my delight when I discovered this glorious baby pink tutu, practically calling my name from its spot at the local vintage shop. It's the perfect shade of "sweetest bubblegum", a true vintage find. Paired with a sparkly hot pink corset top and some shimmering pink pumps – oh darling, I truly was the pinkest princess Scunthorpe had ever seen!
And that leads me to my journey to this gorgeous town. You see, I’m a girl who truly loves travel! Train rides are my weakness, especially those with beautiful countryside views, giving me plenty of time to admire my perfectly curled pink eyelashes (or practice a new pirouette… the windows are always an excellent mirror!) and write in my trusty pink journal. But this time, I took a slightly less glamorous approach - I hired a horse! This incredible horse-drawn carriage, pulled by two majestic steeds (just imagine – fluffy pink tutus on all of us! What a dream, right?) took me across the rolling hills of the North. Absolutely breathtaking.
Of course, no Pink Tutu adventure is complete without a performance. Scunthorpe was just buzzing with exciting places for me to perform, like The Baths Hall and the town's little theatre - even a community centre tucked away near the park. I just adore finding those hidden gems, don't you?
This time, my act was extra special. It was all about those sweet and whimsical fairytale moments – a sprinkle of magic with a big dollop of fun, just like a pink cake!
It involved… a giant, pink, helium-filled tutu, darling! And glitter cannons! And you know me - a few pink feather boas and sequins just to top it off, because that's how I roll! 😉
You should’ve seen the children’s faces – wide-eyed with delight! It was like they were watching a beautiful pink dream come to life! My favourite moment was this little girl – she was probably about five - who held up a sparkly pink feather boa she had found in her mom's bag. “For you, Miss Sparkle,” she said. Made my heart melt!
You know, dear readers, my life goal is to get every single one of you wearing pink tutus, to bring joy and laughter to every corner of the world! Why, I even think the Queen would look positively smashing in a tutu. She just needs a little convincing, that’s all! 😉
Scunthorpe truly left an unforgettable mark. It was a charming, kind, and lively town full of open arms and smiles. I can’t wait to visit again, maybe with a horse-drawn pink carriage this time! And dear readers, you know I couldn’t go anywhere without buying a few fabulous finds! I scooped up some pink lace, a pink vintage handbag (perfectly charming with some sequins sewn on!), and a fabulous floral pink hat that I think might be my new best friend. After all, it’s never too early for a little spring flair! 🌸
Until next time, keep spreading the pink, lovelies!
Your Tutu Queen,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖🩰
