Hello, darling! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to whisk you away on a dazzling adventure to the charming town of Altrincham, just outside Manchester. It's all pink and glittery over here, and I'm about to spill all the deets on my latest Tutu-ific trip!
I have to admit, the train journey itself was half the fun. I love a good train ride, and even more so when I get to showcase my signature pink tutu on board! Let me tell you, the stares were fabulous. It’s not every day you see a queen in full drag on a morning train to Manchester. One sweet old gentleman even asked if I was on my way to the panto! Now, that’s a good start to the day, right?
Altrincham was just brimming with exciting opportunities for a drag queen like me! I’m telling you, darling, you just have to have an adventurous spirit when you’re a Pink Tutu Sparkles! You never know what you'll find, and Altrincham was truly an absolute gem of a find.
Before I go on, you know I'm all about sharing the love! I'm going to give you all a little glimpse into my secret wardrobe and share a little bit about my favourite place to buy a good, sturdy pink tutu that's perfect for traveling and all the twirling and pirouetting that goes with it! A little pink secret: the most fab tutus are at a store called "Fancy Flounce"! The name pretty much sells it, right? They have the best tutus - not too itchy and a perfect blend of fluffy and sassy! You might think "tutus - so obvious" but it took me ages to find a store that truly met my discerning fashion requirements - don't you judge me for my standards, I was trained by the very best and it’s not cheap maintaining a good pink tutu and matching eyeshadow routine!
Back to Altrincham... darling, I am a fashion fiend! I love clothes shopping! I was absolutely gagging to get myself to the "Artisan Market" at Altrincham Market. Oh darling, this place is just magical. A mix of everything you could imagine! Vintage clothes stalls overflowing with beautiful pieces, artisan jewellers, and enough locally sourced food to tempt you into a three-day coma! There were hand-crafted goods made from recycled materials, like eco-friendly tote bags perfect for carrying all your pink tulle. Let me tell you, it was all a touch of utter fabulousness and everything about Altrincham market had just the right blend of edgy, classy and cool. It's exactly my kind of place.
Now, of course, no trip of mine is complete without a performance. Altrincham put on the most fabulous market performance at The Market House, darling. The sound system was incredible! The energy in that venue was just palpable. Oh, the lights! The dancing! And, let’s not forget my show stopping performance – I’ll let you in on a secret – they all just go wild for my big tutu reveal! And let's just say the crowd gave me the warmest, most enthusiastic reception. Oh, how I love the way people react to a full pink tutu ensemble! It was a real joy.
It would be churlish of me not to tell you all about the best bits of the experience: * *The local theatre. * Darling, you wouldn't believe it! It's like stepping back in time - with red velvet seating and even the ghost of a long lost play still haunting the theatre halls (don't worry, she's perfectly harmless!). There were three other fantastic, incredibly talented queens performing - darling, they truly killed it. And you know how much I love a good stage production!
The Ballet class Darling, don't let your inner critic get the best of you, give ballet a try! It's so much fun! It can be super daunting to try it for the first time, and especially with my tutu. But honestly, you'll surprise yourself, the teachers are patient and even the ballet ladies who came dressed for the ballet class, in their white shoes and leggings all giggled as I walked in in my full stage regalia! It was all absolutely wonderful - and we're talking about a genuine ballet class! Oh, I even tried a bit of the en pointe technique with the pink tutu on! It is far from easy.
A taste of a horse riding club. Darling, I did have a chance to check out a real horse riding club on the outskirts of Altrincham! A true passion of mine is the thrill of riding, even if it’s just for a few short miles. I think my tutu went down really well with the club staff – my flamboyant costume might have given them a laugh. Oh, I have this wild, secret desire to find someone who will join me in full Pink Tutu riding regalia, darling! And yes, that does include the helmet.
Honestly, darling, I’m not exaggerating - it really was a tutu-ific adventure! Every day brings something new. But I guess I just keep the dream alive!
Stay tuned for my next Pink Tutu journey, you can get me on social media. And remember, keep your eyes peeled, darling. Who knows where I might pop up next! And, above all, don't be afraid to rock a pink tutu, even if it's just for a day. You never know, darling, it just might set your life on a truly dazzling path!
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles. xxx www.pink-tutu.com
