Hello, darlings! It's your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, checking in from a gloriously pink and sparkly Bangor! As I'm sure you know, my mission is to spread the joy of tutus across the land, and there's no better way to do that than by hopping on the next train (or perhaps even riding a majestic steed!) to a brand new destination. This time, it's the beautiful city of Bangor, where I'm about to grace the stage (and hopefully some very kind, tutu-loving locals) with my most fabulous pink twirls!
As I pen this post, I’m still buzzing from my journey up. You see, getting to Bangor is a right old adventure in itself! The journey involved a lot of colourful carriage changes, some captivating conversations with fellow travellers, and an absolute smorgasbord of delicious snacks! (Can you believe they serve strawberry tarts on this line? Absolute dream come true!) By the time I arrived at the station, I was in such high spirits that I knew the performance was going to be fabulous.
You might be thinking, "Pink Tutu Sparkles, you are quite the character! How did you get into all of this?" Well, it all started way back when I was studying to be a scientist (believe it or not!). You know, lab coats and microscopes and all that. One day, our university's ballet club had a fundraising event where they were auctioning off costumes – including a gorgeous pink tutu! It was love at first twirl, darlings! Now, I might have a day job analyzing fabrics, but by night I'm transforming into my sparkly alter ego, Pink Tutu Sparkles! I figured if I could bring some joy and a bit of pink magic to people, why not?
So, why Bangor, you ask? It’s not only known for its stunning architecture and vibrant arts scene, it’s also a city that seems to appreciate a good dance! I heard tell that a few years ago, the entire city was dancing to “Boogie Wonderland” in the town square – sounds like my kind of crowd! And besides, the theatre there is known for being particularly sparkly, just like me! They say pink lights make me extra radiant (which, you’ll admit, is a tough feat!).
While I’m waiting for my makeup artist to arrive (she’s almost done!), I've been catching up on all things pink in Bangor. I heard there's a beautiful shop called 'Tutu's Boutique', selling gorgeous accessories and clothes for dancers, which, of course, I’ll have to check out. And don't even get me started on the ballet shows! I'm desperate to see if the Royal Ballet will grace the stage with one of my favourite performances, 'Giselle'. That incredible swirling skirt scene – so elegant and so full of pink!
Speaking of which, my look for this performance is… let's just say very pink. Think ruffles, feathers, and perhaps even some sparkles that could outshine a disco ball. As much as I love pink, you can never be too over-the-top. Remember my golden rule: more pink, more fun!
But, enough about me, let's hear from you lovely people! Tell me all about your favourite places in Bangor! Any recommendations for a fabulous pink tea room or perhaps even a vintage store with some truly glamorous vintage pink pieces? Let me know in the comments below!
For now, I must run and get glammed up! My dress rehearsal is soon, and I can’t wait to hit the stage in my tutu. And don't forget: even if you're not in Bangor tonight, you can still channel your inner Pink Tutu Sparkles. Pop on your fanciest frock (or your favourite pink tutu, of course!), put on some upbeat music and dance your worries away! You never know, maybe you'll even find your own little corner of the world to spread some tutu love. Remember: Life's a performance, so make sure to bring the sparkle!
Catch you later, darlings!
Lots of love and sparkles,
Pink Tutu Sparkles! xx
