Hello my darling tutu-lovers, and welcome to my latest blog post from www.pink-tutu.com, your one-stop shop for all things pink, fluffy and fabulous! Today, I'm writing to you from the heart of the Midlands, Coventry to be exact, ready to sparkle like a disco ball in a tutu.
Oh, Coventry! This beautiful city, with its historic spires and vibrant energy, is exactly the kind of place I want to explore. My day started like any other, in my Derbyshire lab surrounded by fabric samples and scientific instruments, a stark contrast to the sparkly world of drag! But then, the magic began.
After work, I slipped into my sequined bodysuit and donned my most majestic pink tutu (oh, this one is a real beauty, it has tiny, shimmering butterflies embroidered all over!) I'm talking serious glitter, my loves. And with a few spritzes of my signature cherry blossom perfume, Pink Tutu Sparkles was ready to rock.
Speaking of rock, I had the absolute joy of performing at a lovely little local theatre. The audience were so warm and welcoming, it was just a dream! And let me tell you, Coventry is the perfect setting for a magical pink tutu show! You wouldn't believe the look on the faces of these sweet locals when they saw me strutting out onto the stage. It was sheer joy!
Of course, before any performance, I need a good old-fashioned pre-show pamper session. Luckily, I stumbled across a little beauty shop nestled in a side street in the city centre. Let's just say, I was like a magpie in a jewellery shop – but with beauty products! They helped me create the perfect smoky eye with shimmering pink tones, and my new sparkly lipgloss will definitely be getting me through the rest of this trip.
No trip to a new city is complete without a little sightseeing. And lucky for me, Coventry's got loads of cool stuff going on! First on the itinerary, of course, had to be a trip to the beautiful Cathedral, which is, quite frankly, magnificent. The intricate carvings and the beautiful stained glass windows are truly breath-taking, even to someone as focused on pink and glitter as me. But trust me, the stained glass in that cathedral is some of the prettiest I've seen. Honestly, it's almost like something out of a fairytale!
After the Cathedral, I took a stroll through the old town, soaking up the atmosphere. I was lucky to be in town during a lovely, bustling, vibrant market. And oh my goodness, the smells of fresh baked goods – honestly, my tummy couldn't handle it! (I had to have a mini doughnut, and the perfect pink cupcake - both with a generous dusting of glitter!).
Later, to really explore the town, I took a carriage ride, horse drawn of course, through the streets, just to complete the fairytale feeling. Honestly, a pink tutu is much more suited to horse and carriage transport than an ordinary train, especially if you have to wear your glitter shoes, but luckily it was just a short jaunt from the theatre to the centre. The sound of hooves on cobbles as we trotted through the streets added the perfect touch to my visit. And let's face it, a carriage ride looks infinitely more glamorous than an overcrowded bus.
In between shows and sightseeing, there was one crucial element I absolutely had to do. My fellow tutu-lovers will understand! Yes, shopping! Thankfully, Coventry didn’t disappoint, with tons of lovely independent boutiques and department stores filled with all manner of frills and fancies. It was a real treat for the eyes – and for the wallet. You know me, I just had to pick up some pretty new additions for my pink tutu wardrobe! I managed to snag a couple of stunning sequined skirts in that perfect shade of fuchsia and a couple of absolutely fabulous hair accessories.
Now, you might be wondering how I get to all these fabulous destinations. My loves, my favourite mode of transport for any journey that's a few hours or less has to be train travel! There's nothing like the thrill of catching the right train at the right time – or the added bonus of meeting new, fabulous people on the journey. Plus, train journeys offer ample opportunities for people-watching, a favorite pastime of any fabulous drag queen! Who knows what sartorial inspiration awaits! And of course, when I am not using trains, a horse drawn carriage will do nicely, and there's just something so graceful about traveling this way - even if it is a bit slower!
So, that's a little glimpse into my Coventry adventures, darling tutu-lovers! And just remember, I’m a firm believer that a little bit of pink tutu magic can brighten anyone's day. Whether you're a seasoned tutu-wearer or a complete novice, don't be afraid to embrace your inner sparkle and try something a little out of the ordinary. Because in the words of Pink Tutu Sparkles, 'Life's too short to not wear a pink tutu!'
Until next time, my dears! Stay fabulous and remember, always be kind to each other. And most importantly - tutus for everyone!!
Lots of love, Pink Tutu Sparkles
