Hello darlings, it’s your favourite pink-tutu-clad diva, Pink Tutu Sparkles, checking in from the charming town of Sutton! Today's been a whirlwind of tutu-tastic fun, fuelled by the glorious sunshine and the thrill of a train journey – my preferred mode of travel, as you all know!
You see, this week I’ve been channeling my inner ballerina, hitting the ballet classes in London and dreaming of grand theatres and soaring leaps! I’ve been craving some good old-fashioned charm, and Sutton, with its picturesque streets and quaint shops, has been absolutely delightful.
My day started, as it always does, with a meticulous application of glitter, the foundation of every good look! A little extra shimmer today, reflecting the bright sunlight that bathed the Derbyshire countryside as I hopped aboard my train. Yes, you heard that right! I chose a train journey to get me to Sutton, a leisurely and picturesque journey punctuated by charming stations, the rhythmic clickety-clack of the wheels, and the anticipation of arriving at my destination.
Arriving in Sutton felt like stepping back in time, in a way! The quaint buildings, with their half-timbered architecture, gave the whole town a fairytale charm. And of course, the lovely folk of Sutton, friendly and warm as always, added to the enchantment!
This delightful trip began with a visit to a beautiful antique shop – who can resist a bit of vintage glam? – and a hearty cream tea, a delicious combination I could never resist. Oh, darling, let’s talk about this delightful treat for a moment! Warm, fluffy scones, with a dollop of thick clotted cream and the perfect strawberry jam - an absolute masterpiece! It fueled me for the rest of the day, and you bet, it inspired me to put on a flamboyant show at a charming little pub that night.
My trip was all about immersing myself in Sutton’s unique culture, and you know I’m all about bringing a touch of sparkle to every town I visit. As a drag artist, I thrive on injecting that element of theatricality wherever I go, bringing joy and laughter along the way. Today was no different! I treated the local tea room to a fabulous performance of my newest number, a shimmering mix of twirling and lip syncing that left them all in awe!
Of course, my iconic pink tutu was a show-stopper! Honestly, darling, you never go wrong with a fabulous pink tutu! The vibrant colour draws attention wherever I go. And, just for fun, I invited everyone to join me for a few spins!
Oh, and I couldn’t resist dropping in at the local library – a sanctuary of words and stories. It was lovely to soak up the quiet, browsing through rows and rows of books!
To end the day, I found myself enjoying a delightful cuppa and some delectable cakes with the sweetest little group of ladies, who shared their love for vintage fashion and everything glamorous! Honestly, we could have talked for hours about tutus, tiaras, and the joy of life's simple pleasures. They were delighted to discover that, by day, I’m actually a scientist! They thought it was wonderfully intriguing.
And you know, sometimes when I put on that white lab coat and go to work testing fabrics for my day job, I get lost in the intricacies of the microscopic world – but it’s in the tutu that I find my true spark, the real me, so to say. You never know where a passion might lead you!
Sutton, you were a charming, enchanting dream! The sunshine, the shops, the delightful people, and that scrumptious cream tea – you really stole a piece of my heart. And for the last bit of magic on my trip, I couldn't resist having a horse drawn carriage ride to the station. It really added to the fairytale quality of the day!
Remember darlings, life’s an adventure and every moment, even the little ones, should be embraced with a sprinkle of joy, a little dash of sparkle, and perhaps, a fabulous pink tutu.
Till next time,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
