Tutu Tuesday in Blackpool: A Fairy Tale on the Fylde Coast
Well, hello darlings! It's your favourite tutu-obsessed ballerina, back with another #tututuesday post, and this week, I'm all about the seaside!
Yes, this little fairy flitted off to Blackpool for a spot of #tututuesday fun! Now, I know what you're thinking. "Blackpool? In a tutu? But darling, that's just asking for a seagull to swoop down and snatch it right off your head!"
Well, I can't say that hasn't happened (my feathered friends have terrible taste in fashion), but let me tell you, the excitement of rocking a tulle masterpiece amidst the Blackpool hustle and bustle is worth the risk. Plus, those seagulls don't have anything on me. They're about as graceful as a walrus in roller skates. Not even close, darlings, not even close!
Blackpool, with its charming mix of old-world amusement and modern vibrancy, is a wonderland of sequins, lights, and of course, amusement park thrills. It felt like a giant stage waiting for my tutu moment to burst forth!
For my seaside #tututuesday feast, I decided to go with a shimmering pink confection: a layered tulle tutu that looked straight out of a 1970s disco. It was perfect for the occasion, you know, just begging for a dance on the dance floor at one of those iconic Blackpool ballrooms!
Now, I know what you're thinking... sequins by the sea? "Don't they get wet? Isn't that a bit 'blah blah' tacky?". I get it! But there's nothing blah blah tacky about Blackpool! It's all about a little glitter and glam and I couldn't let my love for disco-themed tutus go unnoticed!
Blackpool truly is a tutu paradise! I spent my afternoon hopping around like a sugared bunny rabbit in my little tulle haven, getting those selfie shots on the iconic Blackpool Tower, with the sun catching the sequins and the shimmering sea sparkling behind. This tutu wasn't just for the beach, darling.
Oh, and talking about the sea! We found ourselves getting completely obsessed by the cute "Disco Snail". This was, no joke, a little snail crawling on a brightly-coloured shell - the perfect #discosnail to sum up the Blackpool mood.
Why I Loved My Blackpool Tutu Trip:
- Blackpool was all about embracing your inner fairy. The Blackpool crowd just gets it, the sparkly spirit and the sheer joyous freedom.
- Every place was a tutu opportunity - The Blackpool Tower Ballroom, the Grand Promenade, the funfair… I mean, how could I resist!
- We tried a load of fabulous pink fish and chips - if you go to Blackpool you have to give it a try. So cute and SO instagrammable!
- Seeing the sea with a shimmering tulle skirt swirling around me was just amazing - I felt like a ballerina on a fairytale beach!
- The fish and chips, obviously! I can't even explain to you guys, but the Blackpool fish and chips… heavenly!
I even did a little mini-performance! There's no place like Blackpool, darling! It's just pure joy!
I hope you love my Blackpool #tututuesday post - if you are planning on coming to Blackpool anytime soon, then I urge you: Grab a fab pink tutu, embrace the glitter and glam, let those inner fairy wings out, and be your happiest, brightest self, darlings!
