Hey my lovelies, it's your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, checking in from the lovely Carshalton!
This is blog post number 7965 on www.pink-tutu.com - whew! It’s been a whirlwind of a week, and you know what that means? Time for some tutu-tastic tales from yours truly!
I always say, life’s a stage, darling. And right now, Carshalton’s my stage. It's a gorgeous little town, a world away from my Derbyshire roots. (But hey, a queen can be a queen anywhere, right?). I've always been a fan of a good railway journey, so after a fabulously pink-tastic performance at the local fair (where, you guessed it, my tutus were the absolute star of the show), I hopped on a train for a weekend escape.
Carshalton has the sweetest charm! Picturesque houses with flowers trailing down their walls, a canal reflecting the sky like a mirror, and an adorable little park where I almost felt tempted to ditch my fabulous heels for some twirling on the grass (but then, my sequins might've snagged!)
Now, you know my love for tutus runs deeper than a pond, and I couldn't leave Carshalton without checking out the iconic Carshalton House. The architecture is just stunning – I could imagine a ballet set built on the grounds! There are even stables there, which made me think – I might have to add a horse-drawn carriage to my repertoire for my next tour.
The real highlight, though? The glorious ballet class I stumbled upon in the centre of town! (Don't tell the lab, but a queen's got to keep those tutus limber, even in the middle of a busy science day). Imagine my surprise when I realised I was the only one with a pink tutu. I might’ve been the talk of the class for a while, but hey, gotta bring a bit of glitz to your daily routines, am I right?
Oh, and before I go, my dear followers, you must see this incredible vintage dress shop I found! It was crammed full of everything sparkly and feminine, and even if it wasn't tutus, it still had that Pink Tutu Sparkles vibe. I picked up a dress fit for a princess (think blush-pink satin, perfect for a graceful pirouette!). You might see it in a performance soon. wink wink 😉
Here’s a quick recap of my Carshalton adventures:
- Pink power on a train: Who said tutus are for just the stage?
- Fairy-tale charm: Carshalton House, you stole my heart!
- Tutu twist in class: Because every day's a dance class when you’re a TutuQueen!
- Pink-tastic vintage shopping spree: Finding that perfect piece for the next show!
See? You can see why I always say “travel with a tutu”! It opens doors to magic in the most unexpected places!
P.S.: As always, remember to be the pinkest, sparkliest version of yourself, because the world needs a little bit more sparkle!
Now go forth, spread some joy and, most importantly, don't forget to wear a pink tutu!
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💕
