Hello, my darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-clad queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, reporting live from the dazzling town of Loughborough! â¨
This trip has been an absolute whirlwind of fabulousness! I have been on a journey, you see, a journey of sequins, feather boas, and... trains! (Oh, did I tell you about my love for a good old steam train ride? Pure magic!).
You know how much I love a good old-fashioned adventure, and let me tell you, getting to Loughborough was an experience in itself. I packed my entire pink wardrobe, including, of course, my trusty sparkly pink tutu - it was a proper wardrobe Tetris session, but it was all worth it in the end!
Now, before I start gushing about Loughborough itself, let's rewind a bit. Remember those little titbits about my life? Yes, you guessed it! I decided to make my journey even more theatrical and, well, Pink Tutu Sparkles-esque! I booked a carriage on a historic steam train. I know, it was just the ticket, right? I was in my pinkest mood and my biggest smile.
I just had to snap a picture, standing by the engine in all my pink glory. Letâs just say, the conductor looked like he'd seen everything, but the cheeky twinkle in his eye told me he loved the extra pink he was seeing that day!
You know how much I adore going to a proper show, and so after a delicious pink afternoon tea (with more pink frosting on the cupcakes than I could ever manage to eat in a day, itâs truly my lifeâs goal to perfect the Pink Cupcake Eating Challenge!), I was off to a brilliant ballet performance at the local theatre!
Ballet! Where else can you get grace, beauty, and sequins all rolled into one? Seriously, they really bring the fabulous. Oh, the amazing jumps! The fluid movements! It really was a masterpiece, darling. Speaking of masterpiece... my pink tutu and I, we turned heads, of course! You simply cannot travel without your statement piece, no matter what the occasion!
I even bumped into a darling couple at the ballet. Theyâd brought their kids to the show. You see, my love for pink tutus isnât just for me, I'm on a mission to spread the joy of the pink tutu and encourage everyone, from the youngest ballerina to the most stylish grandma, to give it a whirl! They were a bit apprehensive about the pink tutus at first. âI can't imagine myself in pink, âsaid the dad. The little girl beamed. She looked so lovely in a bright, cheerful tutu. âThatâs how I want to go to my ballet class,â she told her parents, and her mother looked thoughtful.
So I started a whole Tutu Talk, I told them my story of falling in love with pink tutus while wearing one to support charity when I was at university (You wouldnât believe how much fun you can have twirling around the university hall in a big pink fluffy tutu, especially when you're trying to study!) And it sparked a conversation! They loved hearing how my tutu helped me find my confidence. The dad, I am proud to say, walked out of the show humming and said he was getting his first ever tutu!
As I walked down Loughboroughâs streets, I couldnât help but imagine the possibilities that lie in wait here. A pink tutu-themed cafe! A Pink Tutu Parade for the annual festival! So many ways to add some sparkle and joy to this lovely place. Who wouldnât want to take a ride on a bright pink tandem bike with me as we explored Loughborough, giggling and spreading the joy of pink tutus everywhere we went!
By the end of the day, Loughborough felt like my second home, a place brimming with joy, laughter, and yes, of course, a lot of pink! It reminded me once again why I do what I do, why I love to travel, to spread glitter and positivity and inspire everyone to wear their own special kind of pink.
I will definitely be back! Perhaps on a horse, (Yes! A real-life horse! Iâm training, and so far, it's quite a spectacle) for an even more magical adventure. I am so excited about next time.
Until then, keep your heads high, your smiles bright, and donât forget to rock your own special kind of pink!
XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles www.pink-tutu.com
