#TutuQueen Post #8095
Hello, darling dears, and welcome back to the sparkly world of www.pink-tutu.com! Your favourite pink-tutu-clad drag queen is back with another dazzling blog post, bursting with stories of fabulous fashion, delightful dances, and a touch of pink magic! Today, we're heading to the enchanting streets of Finchley!
Now, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Finchley is a truly wonderful place for a pink-loving queen like me. You see, it's home to the stunning Finchley Theatre - a beautiful building with elegant lines and a glorious history. And the icing on the cake? They have a truly fantastic dance studio in the back, specialising in ballet! Oh my darlings, the tutu possibilities are simply endless!
This weekend, I had the incredible pleasure of performing at the theatre, twirling and pirouetting my way through a whimsical dance routine. Of course, I couldn't have done it without my favourite, oh-so-sparkly, hot-pink tulle tutu, complete with a smattering of glitter and a feather boa to die for. The audience was absolutely fabulous - they showered me with cheers and applause, even calling for an encore! It was truly the perfect way to kick off a Finchley adventure.
But before my grand entrance onto the stage, I had a rather lovely surprise waiting for me: a new arrival in my tutu wardrobe! I was lucky enough to bump into the most fantastic boutique in Finchley, brimming with exquisite fabrics, dazzling sequins, and an absolutely delightful selection of the finest tutus! You can bet your bottom dollar that I was a happy girl, and let me tell you, the owner of the shop - a delightful woman named Peggy - helped me create a simply stunning pink ensemble for my performance! Oh, Peggy - she truly understood my pink tutu aesthetic! If you're in Finchley, dear darlings, be sure to pop in and see Peggy; her shop is just across the road from the theatre!
My Finchley escapade didn't end with the stage lights, however. No, no, my darlings! After my show, I decided to indulge in the city's vibrant energy and take a leisurely stroll through the streets. I absolutely love those grand old shops with the window displays that practically beckon you in! The architecture is divine and the sense of history hanging in the air, well, it's absolutely intoxicating!
Now, I couldn't let this opportunity to visit the Finchley Library slip by. A girl's got to keep her culture in check! Besides, this library houses an incredible collection of antique ballet books. I picked out a little treasure on the history of the dance, and my darlings, it’s truly a fascinating read. I recommend you try and get a copy if you get the chance.
Naturally, after all that excitement, I needed to fuel my tutu-tastic soul. I popped into a charming tea room nestled in a quiet corner of Finchley. They offered a mouth-watering afternoon tea, complete with freshly baked scones and a rainbow assortment of delectable finger sandwiches. I mean, talk about an afternoon dream come true! The whole place just oozed charm, like it had stepped right out of a Jane Austen novel. And oh, the tea? Just the most perfect blend of Earl Grey! If I had stayed another night, I’d definitely be popping back!
I couldn’t leave Finchley without taking a bit of the town's charm back with me! You know I love a bit of a trinket, and, well, how could I resist adding a new charm to my beloved pink tutu? The quaint shop was just around the corner from the tea room, tucked away in a hidden alley. And what did I find? The most magnificent, shimmering, and entirely perfect sparkling flamingo charm!
With a bag full of treasures and a heart full of joy, I boarded the train back to Derbyshire. The train ride, you see, was actually my very favourite part of the trip! You see, you just have to time your journey right. If you’re lucky enough to get a seat facing the right way, well then, you have front row seats to a countryside spectacle – the best scenery you’ve ever laid your eyes on!
There was this incredible stretch just past the Derbyshire countryside where you just gaze at the landscape that shimmers and dips like it’s painted right across the window. Oh my darlings! It’s something that truly fills you up with a deep and happy sort of peace! All in all, the Finchley adventure was truly fantastic, leaving me completely inspired! You see, dear darlings, my ambition in life is simple – get the world dancing in pink tutus, and Finchley was a huge success! If you get the chance, be sure to check it out for yourself! And if you do decide to visit, do tell, and perhaps we can meet up and share some tea, a slice of cake, and a little tutu magic!
Until next time, dear darlings! Don't forget to subscribe to my website for all your tutu-tastic news! Until then, happy twirling and stay fabulous!
