Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, signing in live from Cleethorpes! 💅💋 It's post number 7140 for your favourite pink tutu wearing diva, and this time, I'm bringing the glamour to the seaside! 🌊☀️
The journey was half the fun, of course. Nothing beats a train ride for people-watching, especially in full drag. My outfit? Let's just say the platform was flooded with shades of pink and fluffy pink tulle, punctuated by the sparkly flash of my feather boa. 🚂 The sea breeze carried my fabulousness to the carriages behind, I swear I saw a man on the opposite platform doing a silent 'Yas Queen!' at me, with a little wave, which is always lovely, truly.
My Cleethorpes adventures kicked off with a whirlwind tour of the town, where the Victorian charm meets the seafront buzz. Picture this: cobbled streets lined with shops bursting with candy, fish and chips (because what's a seaside town without the classics!), and oh-my-goodness, a tumble of brightly coloured arcades with the smell of candy floss in the air! It was like a vintage postcard sprung to life.
But hold your horses, darlings, because Cleethorpes is way more than just cute seaside vibes. It’s a cultural hub with its very own Grand Theatre! I knew I had to grace that stage, I’m such a sucker for theatre history, particularly those magnificent old halls. 🎭 I even took a cheeky peek backstage to imagine the performers getting ready before a show, all glitz and excitement! I even tried on an old backstage curtain, which thankfully didn’t leave me feeling trapped but gave me plenty of photo opps. 💖
Now, no visit to Cleethorpes is complete without a seaside stroll, right? I’ve seen beaches, but I've never experienced a beach quite like this one, bathed in sunshine, with that refreshing sea breeze that sends my feather boa into a whirl. And the joy of it all is, people seem to adore pink tutus everywhere I go! I swear, I could wear my tutu to the shops, to the beach, and to work - which I did on my science day, well minus the sparkles of course - and receive compliments. It’s such a universal language, a pink tutu: ‘Hey, look at me, I’m full of life and fun!' 💫✨
Speaking of the language of pink tutus, the kids are absolutely mesmerised by them. Honestly, seeing their faces light up as I twirl past with my pink plume in the air just warms my heart. I always carry extra glitter and a spare boa because, you know, kids! I gave out stickers and hugs to all the little ones and I even managed to get some giggling toddlers wearing pink tulle! Now, that's a win! 🏆
As the evening descended, the magic of the pier came to life. You guys wouldn't believe the beautiful view. The ocean shimmering in the sunset, sparkling with little lights - absolutely stunning. My drag outfit practically glowed against the backdrop! My favourite part though was the ice cream. It was like vanilla bean dreamscape with rainbow sprinkles. Now THAT is what I call seaside luxury! 🍧🍦
But of course, a Pink Tutu Sparkles trip wouldn't be complete without a touch of… dramatic pause... Ballet! 🩰 Cleethorpes has a fantastic community theatre, and you better believe I dropped in on their class, strutted my stuff in my pink tutu (slightly modified for ballet practice!), and even took a few tips from the instructor. I may not be a ballerina by day, but let me tell you, I was spinning and leaping with the best of them!
Cleethorpes has stolen my heart. It’s a haven of colourful characters, delicious treats, and a warm seaside embrace. So if you're looking for a getaway where you can embrace the magic of life, look no further than Cleethorpes. And, of course, don’t forget to pack a pink tutu – the only wardrobe staple you’ll need! 😉
Catch you all tomorrow on my blog, darling. Pink Tutu Sparkles out! ✨💖
