Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-toting drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another fabulous travel tale for your viewing pleasure! I've traded the glitz and glam of the London stage for the quaint charm of Coulsdon, and let me tell you, this little Surrey town has captured my sparkly heart!
Now, I know what you're thinking, Coulsdon? Not exactly the most glamorous destination, right? But trust me, darling, you haven't experienced Coulsdon until you've experienced it through the pink-tinted spectacles of Pink Tutu Sparkles! I swear, even the squirrels wear tutus here, or at least I imagined they did!
My journey started bright and early, a delightful jaunt on a trusty, well-worn train. I swear, these railway lines know me like the back of my hand, having whisked me away to countless gigs and adventures. I had to, of course, wear a special outfit for the journey - my lavender velvet train dress (a perfect shade of lavender, darling!), complete with a flowing train, pink feather boa, and of course, a fluffy pink tutu.
Arriving in Coulsdon, I felt like a princess stepping into a fairytale! The town itself had an undeniable charm, with quaint cafes, bustling market squares, and even a park where I swore I saw a woman practicing ballet in the middle of the day! Of course, I made a bee-line for the shops to stock up on my essential pink accessories. Coulsdon's independent boutiques were a treasure trove of sparkling gems and pink delights, including a fabulous vintage shop where I found a gorgeous feather fan that almost rivalled my own.
After a quick coffee stop at a café that was a bit too sweet, even for me (honestly, they put sprinkles on EVERYTHING!) I found myself at Coulsdon's magnificent Victorian era theatre! My heart, already fluttering from the day's excitement, took flight at the sheer majesty of the building, its imposing red brick facade and decorative details whispering tales of bygone eras.
I'd heard from a fellow drag artist, a lovely fellow who performed in an outrageous pineapple costume (he was definitely a pineapple enthusiast, bless him), that Coulsdon's theatre hosted some spectacular shows. Tonight's performance, however, wasn't just any show; it was an awe-inspiring ballet performance!
I knew I had to get dressed up for the occasion. After all, a queen never lets the opportunity for glamour pass her by! So, back at my darling digs - a charming bed and breakfast with a delightful family that made me the most delicious cherry scones you can imagine - I donned my show-stopping pink tutu dress! The skirt was a delicate cloud of tulle that shimmered in the evening light.
And the pièce de résistance? A dazzling pink feather boa draped gracefully over my shoulders, trailing down the length of my tutu like a fluffy cloud of magic.
At the theatre, the excitement buzzed through the air like electricity! The stage was already bathed in a warm, inviting glow as the audience took their seats, anticipation rising with every passing minute. The ballet itself was an absolute dream, a symphony of elegant movement, graceful leaps, and the sheer magic of ballet.
As the final curtain fell, the applause thundered through the theatre, a glorious cascade of admiration for the dancers’ hard work and talent. It left me utterly captivated, with my own heart swirling with a deep, abiding respect for the grace and beauty of the ballet world. It's certainly an inspiration!
Before heading back to my cosy bed and breakfast, I just HAD to grab a treat. I found a darling little sweet shop down a charming cobbled street. Inside, a treasure trove of sweet delights awaited, from candy-colored sweets to rich, creamy chocolates, and even pink cupcakes! My eyes sparkled like the sequins on my bodice as I made my selection, ultimately choosing a box of strawberry-filled chocolates, pink and perfect for a Queen!
And that's it, darlings! My fabulous escapade to Coulsdon is officially done and dusted. The town charmed me with its unexpected sweetness, its Victorian grandeur, and a touch of sparkle that even a pink tutu queen couldn’t resist! As I write this, nestled snugly in my B&B, sipping a steaming mug of chamomile tea, I'm already daydreaming of my next adventure.
Oh, and a final thought: I'm sure you’re wondering where you can get your very own Pink Tutu. Well, darlings, here’s a little secret. I’ve finally made the leap! My own collection of tutus is available online, and it’s growing daily. If you want a Pink Tutu, you know where to get it, darlings! It's your cue, babes, embrace your inner sparkle and embrace your own personal style.
Until next time, darlings, keep on shining!
Your queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles
