Hello lovelies! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, signing in from my little pink haven, ready to whisk you off on a whirlwind adventure to the delightful seaside town of Blyth! It's post number 9216 on the www.pink-tutu.com website, and you know what that means: prepare to be utterly charmed!
Blyth! The very name makes me think of crashing waves, salty sea air, and ... well, actually, that's all. Let's be honest, my geography isn't the strongest, but the promise of a seaside jaunt and a chance to spread the pink tutu gospel gets my glitter boots tapping!
I've always been a bit of a train buff (although I'll never say no to a gallop on a magnificent steed - thanks, grandma for the riding lessons!) so travelling by rail was the only way to go. It's all about the journey, darlings, not just the destination. You'd be amazed by the fab fashionistas I've met on the train. Just this week, I had a little chat with a lady sporting a fabulous lime-green, sequinned coat - divine! Of course, she ended up being the most gorgeous make-up artist! So much inspiration to be found on those journeys.
But back to Blyth! I've been dying to visit for ages. I've heard whispers about a little theatre tucked away in a cobbled alleyway, filled with character and the most fantastic vintage decor. And can you believe it, they're actually putting on a production of 'The Nutcracker' next week! A full-scale, sparkly-winged, sugarplum-tastic dream! The chance to watch such artistry is just too much to resist, even for someone who has a habit of turning the odd ballet studio into her own personal runway!
Of course, no trip to the seaside is complete without a jaunt along the promenade. Just imagine, darling: me, in my most fabulous pink tulle creation (I'm thinking maybe the three-tiered "Princess of the Beach" design - haven't decided on the embellishments yet!), taking a leisurely stroll, basking in the salty air and catching the eye of the local seagulls. The perfect backdrop for my next Insta-worthy shot. And speaking of fabulous outfits, I just found the most darling vintage shop, crammed with treasures! It’s all very 'Carry On... and buy it all!' If it’s as enchanting as I've heard, it could end up becoming a pink-tutu shrine. Fingers crossed!
You know how I adore ballet, don't you, lovelies? But ballet class? Oh darling, it's an experience that defies all description. To be surrounded by other graceful creatures in their leotards and tights, pushing their limits, achieving beauty and perfection... it’s simply heavenly. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I find a drop-in class during my stay. Or perhaps a performance by the local ballet school - their little tutus deserve the best, of course!
As for my own fashion finds, I'm sure there will be a whole lot of gorgeous frocks, ribbons, and glittery accessories popping into my life, transforming into fabulous pink-tutu creations as soon as I return home. Oh, and there will definitely be a new ballet-inspired design or two! This pink-tutu world is full of possibilities. I just hope they don't make me wear my "Fish and Chips" tutu during my time at the coast. It might clash a bit with the surroundings...
Did I tell you I’m booked to perform at a seafood festival next week, too? Now there's a fun one. They’ve hired a local pub to host the entertainment – how very English! I'm picturing a grand entrance: a sparkly pink tutu, glittery boots, a huge tulle bow and a very pink, fish-themed hairdo! The crowd won't be ready, darlings. And the fun's just getting started! The weekend's packed, and then I’m off to Edinburgh! More pink-tutu madness and lots of stories for you soon.
Remember lovelies, there is a pink tutu out there waiting for each and every one of you, no matter what your shape, size, or age. My mission? To encourage every single one of you to unleash your inner sparkliness and step out in a cloud of pink tulle! Because life, darlings, is simply more fabulous in pink!
XOXO
