Hello, my darlings! It's Pink Tutu Sparkles, and oh, the places I go! Today I'm bursting with excitement to share my latest adventure: a fabulous trip to Colchester, a beautiful historic town brimming with character andā¦ well, a little bit of pink, if you know where to look!
Colchester called to me like a siren's song, promising a charming day trip and a chance to dazzle on stage. You know how much I adore exploring new places, and what better way to discover a town than with a sprinkle of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic?
I always travel in style, of course. For this journey, I opted for a train ride, my favourite mode of transportation after a good old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage (but letās face it, those are a bit harder to come by these days). I settled into a first-class compartment, where I was able to enjoy my favourite pre-performance snack ā a box of pink, fluffy, heart-shaped meringues! Honestly, Iād like to patent pink as my official colour, but then again, pink doesn't need me ā itās fabulous on its own!
When I arrived in Colchester, I couldn't help but notice the historical charm of the town. The cobbled streets, the old buildings, and the friendly locals - I felt like I was transported to another era! You see, it's not just about the pink; itās about embracing the beauty of life and the places around us. That's my message: wear a pink tutu, and see the world with your own dazzling perspective!
After dropping my suitcase off at my charming bed and breakfast (they have the most exquisite, rose-coloured curtains - theyāre practically calling out for a photo with my fabulous tutu!) I headed to Colchester's stunning Colchester Castle. It's not every day you get to perform right outside a real castle! Now thatās what I call a pink moment, right?! And guess what, darling? Iāve convinced a few of the townspeople to try on a tutu themselves, spreading the message of joy and whimsy! (Of course, I brought an assortment of spare pink tutus with me ā gotta be prepared!)
As the afternoon rolled in, it was time for my performance. It wasnāt a full-blown drag show - but hey, you take what you can get! I took to the stage for a fabulous display of glitter and grace, belting out my favourite dance pop classics while rocking a gorgeous new tutu, a creation by my favourite costume designer - and Iāve been so tempted to keep this one myself, but what's a show without a little mystery and wonder, huh?! (We all have our guilty pleasures - this one is definitely mine!)
My performance drew a small crowd of adoring fans, and by the time my final act concluded, they were all shouting āEncore!ā Who knew pink tutus had such staying power!
But wait, there's more! Colchester has a fabulous ballet school. So, naturally, after the show I swung by and got in touch with the instructors. I even ended up joining a class ā I mean, itās all about celebrating movement and expression, darling! Youāll never see me turning down an opportunity to pirouette (unless, of course, the ground is covered in something less than fabulousā¦ sticky, for exampleā¦ and no, darling, Iām not telling any storiesā¦ š¤«)
My evening in Colchester wrapped up with a delicious meal at a cosy cafĆ© ā I opted for a pink raspberry tart, because, you know me, pink! And I topped it all off with a cup of hot pink tea ā yum! Honestly, itās all in the details.
So, as you can see, Colchester has left its mark on me, and I'm leaving it with a sprinkle of pink sparkle. After all, whatās life without a bit of fun and flair?! And if a drag queen wearing a pink tutu can make even the most ordinary day magical, just imagine what a little bit of pink can do for your world!

Lots of love and sparkles,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
