Hello darlings! Welcome to my blog, Pink Tutu Sparkles. This is post number 8820, and itās all about my incredible trip to Rotherham, a little town in Yorkshire that stole my heart!
As usual, I got to Rotherham by train ā nothing quite beats a nice leisurely journey with a cuppa and a good book. Plus, it gives me plenty of time to plan my outfit for the show! This time, I knew I had to go for something really dramatic and glamorous ā after all, I was heading to a town famous for its steelworks and heritage.
Speaking of glam, letās talk about my look! I decided on a full-blown pink and silver theme. Think shimmering sequins, layers of tulle, and a magnificent pink feather boa that would make a peacock envious. Of course, no look is complete without a giant pink tutu ā the fluffier, the better!
My sparkly headpiece, made entirely of handmade flowers, took hours to create, and I just knew it was going to be the perfect statement piece. The shimmering makeup ā a symphony of pink, purple and silver - was my piĆØce de rĆ©sistance. All that was left was a final spritz of glitter and I was ready to rock Rotherham!
My venue this time was a lovely, historic pub called the āJolly Sailorā. Now, Iāve done gigs in all sorts of places, but a cosy pub was a real treat. I think my bright pink outfit contrasted nicely with the warm, wood-panelled interior!
I performed my usual blend of ballet moves, comedy skits, and pop tunes - always adding my own little twist, of course. The audience was incredible - everyone was so friendly, and they roared with laughter at my jokes. The energy was amazing ā you could feel it pulsating through the air!
You know how I love to interact with my audiences. This time, it involved a spontaneous game of āspin the bottleā where the lucky audience member was invited to come on stage and join me for a duet! Let me tell you, those guys are good sports! One chap from the audience even managed to flawlessly execute a fouettĆ©. Honestly, I was impressed!
And what would a trip to Rotherham be without a visit to the Rotherham Minster? Now, this isn't just your average church - the stained glass windows are incredible, and thereās this incredible feeling of peace and tranquillity within the stone walls. I even managed to sneak in a couple of twirls for a picture - because, let's face it, a pink tutu looks fantastic against any backdrop, even a medieval church!
I had the most amazing time in Rotherham. I canāt wait to return!
But before we go, letās talk about some travel advice ā Rotherham is very accessible, just hop on a train! I'm a big fan of train journeys. For those of you who are really fancy, Iām trying to train a team of Shetland ponies to pull my pink tutu-themed carriage. Donāt worry, they'll be wearing tutus too. It'll be amazing, youāll have to see it!
But if youāre looking for a fun day out with a dash of pink sparkle, head to Rotherham, a little town with a big heart. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Remember, darlings, life's too short to wear beige!
XOXO,
