Oh my darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-wearing drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from the fabulous town of Surbiton!
Now, you might be thinking, Surbiton? Why Surbiton? Well, my lovelies, let me tell you, this town is brimming with unexpected sparkle! A secret little haven of fashion and fun, hidden just a hop, skip, and a twirl away from the bustling city.
I arrived, of course, in style - on a vintage steam train, feeling every bit the glamorous ballerina of the Victorian era. The journey itself was a performance, my pink tutu flowing in the wind (it was a bit chilly, darling, but never fear, my fabulous feathered boa kept me warm!) and I entertained fellow passengers with a rendition of "Dance Macabre" - the applause was, naturally, thunderous.
Upon reaching Surbiton, I was immediately drawn to the charmingly eccentric shops, filled with colourful trinkets, vintage treasures, and a kaleidoscope of fabrics, oh my, it was like a dream come true! It just screamed “tutu-inspired" And who could resist? Not me, I assure you! I managed to snag a bewitching velvet bow for my latest masterpiece (oh, I just have to share a sneak peek of that later, my dears!), plus a pair of glittering pink heels - essential for any TutuQueen on the go!
I had heard whispers of a magical ballet studio, hidden within a hidden garden (very "Secret Garden," darlings, so in my vibe!), so naturally, I had to see for myself. I felt like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole as I stepped inside. This enchanting haven was a feast for the eyes - gleaming dance floors, walls lined with posters of ballerinas, a grand piano, the whole shebang! They even had a wall dedicated to showcasing pink tutus – talk about a Queen’s dream! Naturally, I twirled on their lovely sprung dance floor, practicing my ballet poses for you dears, and had a little chat with the talented dancers – I'm hoping to maybe collaborate with them soon, just watch this space, darling!
For dinner, I devoured the most delicious vegetarian burger with pink beetroot relish – because pink, darling, is always the answer. The atmosphere was simply divine - vibrant and cheerful.
Speaking of divine, after my pink feast, I popped along to Surbiton’s gorgeous local theatre – imagine all the fabulous costumes! – and treated myself to a magnificent show, where I spotted a group of ladies all wearing pink tutus! This, my loves, is what dreams are made of – an entire audience draped in shimmering, pink tulle! They gave me a standing ovation, and you know I returned the favour, sending out a message of empowerment through every swirling twirl of my pink tulle masterpiece.
Later, back in my fab hotel room (let’s just say I made sure it was pink, pink everywhere!), I had the best time creating a completely unique outfit, complete with a tutu, and writing a new song - “Surbiton Sparkle" will be launched soon my darlings. I am absolutely certain that you all will want to learn to dance to it – just imagine, you, in your glorious pink tutus, all over Surbiton, nay, all over the world! It’s time to reclaim your inner tutu goddess, my loves!
This journey to Surbiton reminded me, once again, of the power of the pink tutu. The energy of this town and its people sparked a magic that only Pink Tutu Sparkles could create! I leave you, my darlings, with this: pink is the ultimate expression of love and joy. So, embrace it, twirl it, and never be afraid to let your inner tutu shine through!
Yours in sparkles and tulle, Pink Tutu Sparkles
