Hello, darlings! It's your girl, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and you just won't believe where I am! I've landed in the beautiful, historic town of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and I'm positively bursting with excitement to tell you all about it. And, as always, I've got a brand new pink tutu on for the occasion - a fluffy, bright pink masterpiece with cascading tiers and sparkly diamantes. You're gonna LOVE it! 💖
Now, I might be a drag queen, but my journey to Abingdon has been quite the classic British adventure. You see, my lovely horse, Duchess, just LOVES to trot through the countryside. So, with her elegant gait and me perched on her back, we rode from Derbyshire all the way here. It was such a romantic adventure, and I must admit, my new, ruffled tutu took a little bit of a hit on the way. Thankfully, I managed to salvage some sparkle with a little bit of judicious glitter glue and, ta-da, good as new!
Abingdon itself is utterly charming! There are cobblestone streets, charming little pubs, and the River Thames winding through the town. And oh my, the quaint shops are just calling to me! I can't wait to scour for some vintage goodies for my next drag act. And speaking of, you'll NEVER believe what happened at the local fair! They needed a headliner for the Saturday night, and who was there but Pink Tutu Sparkles!
I danced my heart out on the fairground stage, beneath the twinkling lights and starry sky, and let me tell you, Abingdon went WILD! I felt that warm energy surging through the crowd. Everyone was smiling, and I could tell they just loved my little dance moves. The music was high-energy, my sparkly shoes were clicking like castanets, and I swear the crowd's applause shook the whole fairground!
Even my friend, Alex (yes, the same Alex who designs these fantastic pink tutus, ha! ), got to join in on the fun! He's a pretty nifty dancer, even if I do say so myself! He loves his ballet as much as I do. In fact, we even took a cheeky ballet class earlier this week at the charming dance studio. It felt amazing to feel the floor under my pointe shoes once again. There’s something so graceful and mesmerizing about the art of ballet. 🩰
And oh, darlings! I stumbled across the most AMAZING news! The Abingdon town council is organizing a whole new ballet festival. You read that right! They're inviting artists of all kinds, musicians, dancers, everyone! I just knew I had to be a part of this, and I already booked myself in for the closing performance. Oh, to see those delighted faces, and those awe-struck eyes! I know everyone will be captivated! 🤩
While the festival will be a joy, I do need to find a little something special to wear for this particular performance! But hey, you know me, right? Always finding a gorgeous pink tutu. There’s this absolutely stunning shop called “The Fabric Emporium”. You know I have to peek! I bet there'll be something spectacular. I'm picturing maybe some sequined tulle, layered upon layers, flowing all the way to the ground. I need something that will make everyone go “Whoa!” when I spin and twirl, a real pink explosion! ✨
Speaking of spinning, I couldn't leave Abingdon without visiting its stunning ballet school. You know how much I love ballet, and this is one of the most prestigious in the country. And of course, I had to slip on a new tutu (it's a necessity!) and visit the studio! You'd never guess what, dear reader: they loved me. I think they've already booked me in to do some choreography for a local production. How exciting is that? I just might create the ultimate Pink Tutu Sparkles ballet. You bet it will be filled with whimsical twirls and dramatic lifts. Maybe even a dash of dramatic, sparkly rain? Oh, my dear, I'm buzzing! 💖
Anyway, darling, this town is simply divine. From the moment I arrived, it felt like home. Perhaps I’ll move here for good. But, alas, I need to go! Abingdon calls! I can practically hear the whispers, the giggles and gasps of delight. And with a brand new pink tutu ready to go, I know I’ll be making hearts flutter all around! See you next time on the wonderful world of pink tutus, my lovelies.
Until next time,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xx 💖
