Hello, darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you another splash of colour from my whirlwind travels! Today, we're heading to the beautiful seaside town of Whitley Bay, a destination that's as charming as a freshly-baked scone with clotted cream.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Whitley Bay? Isn't that a bit…well…ordinary?" But darling, don't be fooled by first impressions! This little seaside gem holds a secret: it's absolutely bursting with personality. Just like me, only in a slightly less sparkly way. 😉
I arrived in Whitley Bay by train, of course! There's nothing quite like watching the world whizz by in my perfectly-pink, tutu-clad glory. The journey was a joy, punctuated by the occasional "Oooh! A pink flower!" or "Look at that stunningly coloured scarf!" (Yes, I am still obsessed with colour, and yes, I still want you all to wear pink tutus – I'm a woman on a mission!)
As my train pulled into Whitley Bay station, I was immediately struck by the vibrant energy of the place. People were out and about, enjoying the sunshine, the fresh sea air, and the iconic Whitley Bay pier – a delightful blend of retro charm and seaside joy. And naturally, it just felt like the perfect setting for a Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure.
Now, before I went into full Pink Tutu Sparkles mode, I had a little time to explore Whitley Bay as Alex. I am, after all, a multifaceted woman (or is it woman/man?) who loves a bit of anonymity before the stage lights go up! I meandered along the promenade, feeling the gentle breeze on my face and taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant seaside town. I even stopped to chat with a group of children playing by the shore – they were fascinated by my sparkly heels, of course!
As the afternoon rolled in, the time came for the main event: Pink Tutu Sparkles! You see, I wasn't just here to soak up the sun (although that is absolutely something I'm capable of) - I had a date with destiny, or at least a local pub with a stage, to be exact. You see, as a multi-faceted drag queen, I love nothing more than sharing my sparkle with the world! This performance was going to be extra special, since I had discovered a new and totally brilliant fabric store tucked away in a hidden corner of Whitley Bay. Let's just say I'm pretty sure I bought every colour imaginable – all ready for my next epic costume design. (If you follow my blog, you know how much I love my fashion! It's not all about the pink, though my dear followers know how much I adore that particular hue!)
The evening commenced with me being led through a whirlwind of pink, silver, and glittering makeup in my makeshift dressing room (the ladies' room at the back of the pub was the perfect place for a quick glam session). The music started to pump, and I felt the thrill that only comes from being backstage, the adrenaline pumping as I readied myself for the stage. And when the spotlight finally hit me – oh, honey, it was glorious! I twirled and pranced in my perfectly pink tutu, each feather tickling my cheeks like a thousand tiny kisses. I danced to my heart's content, showering the audience with my contagious joy. I may have even sprinkled a bit of fairy dust – you know, just for that extra touch of magic.
After the performance, I found myself surrounded by enthusiastic admirers who, much to my delight, included many lovely families. Some of the kids even had their own tiny tutus, and I couldn't resist asking for a picture with the cutest little ballerina I'd ever seen. Moments like these make all the hard work so incredibly rewarding. My dream, after all, is to get everyone to wear a pink tutu. (Don't worry, you don't have to be a dancer!) It’s a symbol of joy, freedom, and above all, pure fabulousness.
With my heart full of happy, bubbly laughter, I left Whitley Bay that night, a memory of pink and glitter woven into the tapestry of my adventures. This small town by the sea may seem ordinary to some, but to me, it’s a haven of personality, warmth, and most importantly, of a shared passion for sparkle! So if you're ever in need of a pink tutu pick-me-up, darling, I urge you to take a trip to Whitley Bay and get ready to embrace the extraordinary!
And until my next adventure, remember to embrace the pink, embrace the joy, and remember: it's all about the sparkle! ✨
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💋
