Oh, my darlings! It’s your fabulous Pink Tutu Sparkles, back from another sensational journey, this time with the salty sea air in my hair and sand between my sequins! You see, my loves, a girl’s got to be spontaneous sometimes, right? A chance popped up for me to perform at Rhyl in lovely Wales. And, well, my darlings, who am I to say no to a little pink-tutu fun by the seaside?
From Lab Coats to Lycra
Now, for those of you who haven’t been keeping up with my fabulous journey – and you know I just LOVE hearing from you, even if you’re a little behind! – I’m a real scientist by day! Don’t picture me all “mad professor” – I spend my time making sure our fabrics are absolutely fabulous, the most gloriously durable and colourfast silks and satins for all your glitzy events, darling! By night, I become Pink Tutu Sparkles, with all my shimmering and twirling fabulousness. Honestly, my loves, sometimes I just think the only way I could be any more dramatic would be to switch places with one of the Bunsen burners in my lab. But alas, my science equipment doesn’t fit under a sparkly pink tutu, not that I'd ever tried.
Journey by Rail to the Bay
This time I decided to travel by train – a bit old-fashioned perhaps, but nothing like being on the choo-choo! Honestly, a bit of luxury before all the glitter and madness is perfect. Plus, it gives me the perfect chance to channel my inner Princess Aurora. You know – from Sleeping Beauty? - just think about it! A big fluffy dress, elegant carriages, a long-sleeved bodice - the perfect start to a fun weekend. I’d say a glass of fizz on board would have really put the icing on the cake, but that would be asking for a lot from the folks in my local Derbyshire station, darling! Let’s just say, this pink-tutu queen knows how to make her own fun!
* Rhyl - Seaside Glamour and Pink Tutu Perfection*
So there I was, my darling, Pink Tutu Sparkles on a stage overlooking the lovely Welsh coastline – with the beach stretching before me, sparkling as brightly as my sequins. And my loves, let me tell you - the crowds were out to see the spectacular that is, well, ME!
For my set I opted for a classic, my little black tutu with that touch of glitz - all black velvet with the most incredible feather boa for added flourish, darling! And let’s be honest, how can a girl be expected to resist wearing black when the entire seaside is your personal runway?! Of course, I wasn't gonna make my darlings miss out on my signature touch. A dash of pink with my ballet shoes! Pink on black. Black and pink - this combination is simply magic!
My Rhyl performance was a whirlwind of excitement, with dancing, prancing, twirling, singing and laughter. And I swear, my darlings, the audience was filled with the most lovely smiles, all shining just as brightly as my sequins. My performance was a real blend of glitzy Broadway-style numbers - like "Anything Goes" and a sprinkle of that classic ballerina elegance - some of the best ballet pieces from the "Nutcracker", my darling. Who can resist that iconic white and pink theme anyway?
And after the performance, of course, it was time to meet the locals – always my favourite part. Honestly, these lovely Welsh people were absolutely delighted by a visit from Pink Tutu Sparkles! So many smiles and photos, some even shared their favourite stories about past ballet shows - and that, my darlings, is what makes this job so fantastic.
A Pint (or Two!) of Happiness
After the excitement of the performance, my lovely, my friends, it was time to enjoy a bit of Rhyl. I wasn’t just going to let a good pink tutu and fabulous location go to waste, darling! We wandered through the lively arcade – I’m still debating about how many fluffy pink fluffy ducks I saw. I'm fairly sure it was a dozen – let’s just say I nearly adopted the lot – just imagine all the little pink ballet tutus! – oh, the joy! A good walk along the beach was needed, of course, with that fresh, breezy air, to give my lungs a chance to sparkle alongside the rest of me. Then I finished the day off in true seaside style. That's right, darling, by having a little fun at the seaside. Now I love my pint (or two!), And who better to enjoy a refreshing beverage than Pink Tutu Sparkles? After all, it’s a little piece of magic, every single time.
Onwards, my Lovelies, Onwards to the Next Sparkle
The Welsh sunshine, my darlings, was as bright and bold as my colours! My journey was over much too quickly - Rhyl definitely held its pink-tutu-wearing-heart-warming sparkle! Now my loves, the next adventure is beckoning. What next? The bright lights of a theatre stage? A swanky ballroom performance? My heart is ready, and I am ready for all the glitter and magic! Oh, and please keep a lookout for my next blog!
Until then, my darlings, remember: Never stop being pink, never stop being sparkly, never stop twirling. Keep your hearts bright, keep your minds open and keep on sparkling!
