Hello my darling darlings! 💅 It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, signing in for Blog Post number 9031! And oh my gosh, London just stole my heart! I’ve got a story so fabulous it practically demands to be told! 💖
This whole week's been a whirl of glitter, twirls, and a whole lot of pink! It all started when I got the amazing opportunity to perform at the legendary Covent Garden, the Covent Garden, honey! Can you believe it? Me, a simple tutu queen from the heart of Derbyshire, taking the stage at such an iconic venue?!
The journey itself was a fairy tale! Instead of the usual bus or even the car, I opted for a scenic train ride. It's like something out of a Victorian novel – all velvet seats, windows open to the wind, and the scent of lavender and fresh meadows wafting through the carriages! Plus, it gave me plenty of time to practice my famous twirls. I even got a few curious looks from the other passengers, cough, cough especially when I started singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at the top of my lungs, in my loudest soprano, of course! 🎤
Anyway, back to the good bits… Stepping out of the train station in London was like entering a whole new world. Everywhere I looked, there was a touch of magic – those cute little shops bursting with colour, the old, weathered cobbled streets, and the clinking of street performers’ music. I felt like I'd stumbled into a charming Victorian fairground – just the way I like it!
London definitely knows how to live it up, even just on a Tuesday morning! The air buzzed with energy. There were so many people dashing around in smart clothes, their outfits looking sleek and polished… then there was me. 👑 Well, let's be honest, dearies, it's practically impossible for me to not be the centre of attention when I’m rocking a hot pink, sparkly tutu.
First stop on my London escapade was, of course, some fabulous retail therapy! Let’s just say I was in a pink paradise. It wasn't about designer clothes, darlings. I was all about those delightful, vintage-looking shops stuffed full of costume jewellery and sparkly knick-knacks. And speaking of sparkly knick-knacks… I picked up a whole load of pink bows and ribbons to deck out my wardrobe. Let’s be honest, when it comes to dressing up, more is always more!
That afternoon, it was time for ballet. Ballet? Yes, my lovelies! This queen has an actual passion for ballet. The poise, the elegance, the discipline - it speaks to me! I even go to classes when I’m at home, though, let's just say, they don’t always go as well as my evening performances! 💅
At the theatre, I was mesmerized. It was almost too beautiful to be real. The lights, the costumes, the music… Oh, honey, that dancing - it just made my soul soar! And if that wasn't enough, I got to perform there! I swear, I’m sure I saw a little sparkle in my eye as I took to the stage. Imagine, all that pink tulle twirling around me, all those twinkling lights and... yes, you guessed it! Pink, pink, pink, it’s always all about the pink! 💋
Then, there was my favourite part… the food! London has some of the most delectable delights! First, I had a lovely cream tea, just like a proper British lady. We Brits can’t get enough of that yummy combo of warm scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam, can we?! It was the perfect pick-me-up before hitting the night-time scene! 🍓
By then, my sparkly crown was definitely feeling ready for a big, sparkly night. After a quick glam session at my London hotel room (let’s be honest, I wouldn't dare go out without full face make-up!), I was off! This was my night. 👑 I was the reigning queen of pink at The Rose and Crown Pub. They let me perform in their courtyard for a fabulous night of entertainment.
And of course, no trip to London is complete without a visit to the iconic red phone booths. Picture this, darling - me, in my dazzling, sequined, pink dress (which I practically lived in during my trip) in front of a vintage, red telephone booth! The perfect postcard-worthy moment. It’s good to know that some traditions never change. 💋
You know, as I write this, I'm back home in Derbyshire. I'm sitting in my studio, surrounded by pink tulle and sparkling trinkets. The air is still filled with the magic of my London adventures. Every trip I go on fills me with so much joy and inspiration for my next show. My dream, darlings, is for the world to be covered in a sea of pink tutus. It's about bringing joy, embracement, and fun! And as for London, I have to admit… It's one of those places that gets under your skin and leaves a shimmering, sparkling trail of glitter and joy everywhere you go.
Catch you in my next blog post! 💅
XOXO,
