Hello, darlings! Your favourite pink tutu-clad queen is back, ready to share all the fabulous details of my latest adventure! This week, I sashayed my way to Sutton, a charming little town with a heart of gold and a sprinkle of Victorian elegance. It was the perfect destination for a glamorous adventure with my trusty pink tutu and my trusty steed… cough… trusty train, that is!
I’ve been craving a little countryside escape for weeks now. The lab can be a bit monotonous, you know? Days spent analysing fabric samples for pilling and strength are best interspersed with the glamour and glitter of a good old drag performance. This trip was my chance to escape the lab and immerse myself in all things pink, pretty, and pirouette-worthy.
My first stop? The local ballet studio! Now, I know what you're thinking: a drag queen in a ballet class? Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? But you see, darling, tutus are universal. Whether it's the delicate, ethereal tulle of a professional ballerina or my own flamboyant, sparkly, all-pink concoctions, we share a common thread - the magic of twirling! It was truly inspiring to watch these talented dancers move with such grace and fluidity. My heart soared with each graceful leap and delicate plie.
Next on the agenda was a visit to the beautiful Victorian market in the town centre. I always find something fabulous at vintage markets, and Sutton’s was no exception! I found the most stunning pink feather boa for my next performance and a delicate porcelain doll to add a touch of old-world charm to my dressing table. Of course, no trip to Sutton is complete without indulging in some delicious local cuisine! I treated myself to a heavenly afternoon tea, with fluffy scones, dainty finger sandwiches, and, naturally, pink lemonade!
But the highlight of my Sutton escapade was, undoubtedly, the grand finale – my drag performance at the charming local pub. It’s a hidden gem, this pub – a little slice of Victorian charm with warm fireplaces, wooden beams, and a clientele eager for a night of glitz and glamour. As always, the locals were absolutely fantastic, their enthusiastic cheers adding to the magic of the evening. My pink tutu, twirling in the firelight, seemed to sparkle brighter than ever. The whole night was a beautiful symphony of sequins, laughter, and the joyous clatter of stiletto heels!
You see, darlings, life is all about spreading joy and reminding everyone that even the smallest towns can burst with big, beautiful dreams. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing your inner sparkle, whatever form that may take.
Sutton, you truly are a hidden gem! I promise I'll be back soon, my love, ready to twirl, shimmer, and spread the magic of pink tutus far and wide!
Stay fabulous, my dears, and remember – wear pink! It’s a state of mind!
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
