Hello my darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to dazzle you with the latest adventure in my pink tutu-filled life! Today's post marks a monumental occasion – Blog Post number 8318! Can you believe it? 8,318 shimmering entries of pure pink, glitter, and joy, all dedicated to the power of tutus and the endless possibilities of spreading sparkle!
Today, we're off to Hastings! This beautiful seaside town in Sussex has been calling to me ever since I first discovered the famous Hastings Pier – an iconic landmark with its vintage amusement rides and breathtaking sea views. Oh, and did I mention it’s a place where pink tutus are bound to look absolutely magnificent against the backdrop of a stunning seaside sunset?
Speaking of pink tutus, my love affair with these magical garments began at university, a story I’ve told you before. But just imagine it! Me, a budding scientist, immersed in a world of lab coats and beakers, then bam! I’m trying on a pink tutu for a charity event. And just like that, I fell head over heels for the twirling, twirling, sparkly delight of it all.
Now, I know some folks might think wearing a pink tutu is all fun and games. But it’s much more than that. It's about unleashing the fabulous within, defying expectations, and spreading a message of positivity, acceptance, and above all, embracing the power of a little bit of pink! I’m convinced if we could all don a pink tutu and twirl around our own little corners of the world, we’d see a transformation in kindness, generosity and joy. I can already hear the sweet sound of 'more glitter, please!' echoing through the streets!
And for those of you who think wearing a tutu is 'out there' - I say: ‘Join the party!'. There's a pink tutu out there waiting for you, ready to embrace your unique and dazzling self!
A Whimsical Journey to the SeasideNow, let's talk about the journey! I'm a big fan of traveling by train. It allows me to fully embrace the whimsical charm of the world passing by, enjoying the panoramic views and sipping my signature pink tea with an added spoonful of fairy dust glitter! This time, my adventure took me on a delightful train ride to Hastings, and I must confess – it was a journey filled with giggles and sparkling pink encounters.
But there is one other way to travel I must tell you about - my trusty steed, a magnificent white stallion named ‘Snowflake’ - my pink tutu travelling companion on this amazing adventure. This noble horse was a gift from a local benefactor in Derbyshire – what a perfect gift! I think it was his wife who sent it, or maybe his daughter. Either way, he wanted to say thanks to me for performing at his son's school disco! I must say, this horse is just a vision in pink and white, even if his owner seems a bit 'off the mark' on the 'pink-tutu' philosophy! Maybe one day I will be able to teach him to twirl - if that doesn't go well, he will have to perform for me at my charity event, maybe he could give all the funds raised to The Pink Tutu Charity (the fund I created!) – but don't worry I only pick very good and trusted charities.
Oh my goodness, it was the first time I travelled by horse – but definitely not the last! I think it might be the perfect mode of transport - what do you think my darling tutu lovers?
And let me tell you – Hastings itself was just as dreamy! The salty sea air, the picturesque Victorian architecture, the colourful market stalls filled with handcrafted treasures... It's no wonder the place has captured the hearts of countless artists and writers throughout the years!
Sparkling Delights & Pink Tutu CelebrationsUpon arrival, I wasted no time getting my pink tutu twirling on, of course. You know my mantra - embrace the sparkle wherever you go!
First on my agenda: the magnificent Hastings Pier. I literally felt like I was transported back in time to a bygone era of fairgrounds and cotton candy clouds. And what better way to celebrate my pink-tutu-fueled spirit than a thrilling ride on the pier’s classic Ferris wheel?
Of course, I wasn't the only one radiating pink joy on the pier! It seemed everyone in Hastings was in the mood for some good, old-fashioned fun – from giggling children playing in the arcades to families strolling hand-in-hand along the boardwalk, I could tell that the magic of Hastings was working its charm on everyone.
After my exhilarating pier adventures, it was time to take my pink tutu shopping! It wouldn’t be a trip to Hastings without exploring the eclectic shops nestled among the charming cobblestone streets. My eyes sparkled at every sight!
There was so much to choose from: unique vintage clothing stores bursting with bold colours, independent boutiques boasting exquisite designs, and quirky shops that were just bursting with originality. It’s just a pity I’d left my horse Snowflake back in the stable, so my arms were crammed to the bursting point, with bags of pink-tutu inspired treasures, and no room for any shopping bags full of pink tulle! Oh, my dear Pink Tutu loving readers - do any of you have a spare suitcase that you could send me? Please?!
As dusk fell, the beautiful seafront came alive with the shimmering lights of a spectacular show, bringing my trip to a truly enchanting climax.
And, speaking of twinkling lights and fabulous spectacles, you’ve just got to check out my YouTube video – “Pink Tutu Sparkles on the Pier!” It's chock-full of pirouettes, giggles, and of course, plenty of sparkly pink tutus to go around!

Until next time, my dearest darlings!
Remember, always twirl, always sparkle, and never let anyone dim your pink tutu shine!
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖✨
