Hello, darlings! It’s Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing, adventure-seeking queen. I'm absolutely buzzing because I've just returned from a spectacular trip to Surbiton, and let me tell you, it was truly a pink-tastic experience!
As a rule, you won't find me on a bus or plane, but my love for exploring new places meant this time, a train journey was my only option. And what better way to arrive in style than in a pink tutu, a gorgeous new top I picked up at that fabulous boutique on Bond Street (thank you, Stella!), and of course, my signature pink feather boa. My trusty travel companion, Barnaby, my trusty horse, has to stay in Derbyshire as my dad does such a good job of looking after him while I travel the country. I really need to start saving up for some more flights!
Now, Surbiton… what can I say? This place oozes charm. Cobbled streets, quaint cafes, and friendly locals… it's like stepping straight out of a Jane Austen novel. And oh, the shops! I could have easily spent the entire weekend browsing for new threads, from vintage to high street, Surbiton had something for every fashionista.
Speaking of fashion, it's no secret I adore tutus. I’ve never looked back after my first experience wearing one as part of a university charity event, it really transformed me into Pink Tutu Sparkles. Ever since, it’s been my mission to bring the beauty and joy of pink tutus to the world. Every single one of my travels is an opportunity to spread this message of pure, sparkly delight!
Surbiton was no exception. I took every chance to dazzle the locals with my pink tutu brilliance. My arrival at the local market caused quite a stir! It was the perfect spot to do a quick show with some impromptu twirls. Those kids were delighted! Seeing the joy on their faces is what keeps me going. That’s what being a drag queen is all about – spreading happiness.
Then, a local pub owner invited me to do a quick set – I mean, can you resist an invitation like that? Naturally, the audience was thrilled, especially when I managed to get them to join in with my signature dance, "The Tutu Twist"! (This will be the next video to upload on my website if the lovely folk in the pub give me their blessing!) Everyone was laughing, cheering, and even some started getting into the "pink" mood. My heart was soaring!
Now, a drag queen is nothing without a good ballet performance! I love it - I find ballet truly mesmerising, and what's more dazzling than seeing a company in perfect sync, wearing pink tutus of course! So I took myself to see "Giselle" at the magnificent Surbiton Theatre. Talk about beautiful! This production truly captured the magic of ballet with exquisite choreography, stunning costumes and I'll never forget the hauntingly beautiful music. Oh, the grace! It left me with a yearning to find a local ballet class. My heart was aching for it - I simply must!
This time, my Surbiton adventure was just about sharing some sparkly magic, reminding everyone that life's too short to take yourself too seriously. Whether it’s spinning on stage, whipping up some fashion-forward magic in my favourite vintage boutique, or inspiring little ones to embrace their individuality (even with a hint of pink sparkle!) I feel that I truly made a difference during my trip. It was like a whirlwind of pink tulle and laughter, leaving a sprinkle of glitter dust wherever I went.
Of course, no trip would be complete without a delightful dose of culinary delights. And Surbiton, with its many cafes, bakeries, and pubs, didn't disappoint! The coffee at "Beans and Bliss" was divine (topped with pink sprinkles of course) and those delicious cream teas! They were all to die for, and a perfect fuel source for a day filled with dancing and performing.
You know what they say, darling - a tutu a day keeps the bad times away! But my favourite pink tutu saying is, "When life gives you lemons, squeeze them into your gin and tonic!" My little motto.
Until next time, dear readers, keep those tutus spinning, those smiles shining, and never forget: the world is a better place with a little pink sparkle in it!
