Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and oh my goodness, you wouldn't believe the adventure I had in Melton Mowbray this past week! It's been a whirlwind of tutus, glitter, and good times, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
This trip marked a truly exciting milestone: I actually travelled by horse! You know me, I love a bit of glamour, and riding to Melton Mowbray on the back of a beautiful grey gelding definitely ticked that box. Of course, I had to dress for the occasion - think a vibrant pink tutu, a sparkling silver corset, and a fluffy feather boa that was longer than my horse's tail! The locals were absolutely gobsmacked, which is exactly how I like it.
Now, I don't want to bore you with the details of the journey, but let me tell you, it was quite the experience. It felt like a scene from a fairytale, trotting through the countryside with the wind in my hair. We stopped for a lovely picnic by a babbling brook, with a cheeky bit of champagne (non-alcoholic for the horse, of course!). It was pure bliss.
Once in Melton Mowbray, I was practically mobbed by the locals! Everyone wanted a picture with Pink Tutu Sparkles, and I was happy to oblige, striking my best poses and spreading the love for pink tutus. I even met a delightful chap called Bob who was adamant that the pink tutu lifestyle was just for him! Bob said he wanted to join me on my journey, even though his "Pink Bob" persona was still in development. Honestly, the support has been overwhelming.
But enough about my grand arrival. Let me tell you about the main reason for my trip: I was invited to perform at the annual Melton Mowbray Funfair! This meant dazzling everyone with my signature glittery dance routines and infectious energy. The crowds went wild! It truly felt like everyone in town had gathered just to witness my performance. And yes, I made sure to bring my signature moves, the "Pink Tutu Spin," the "Glitter Bomb," and my signature move: the "Pink Tutu Pony Dance!"
After the fair, I had the most delightful opportunity to take a class at the local dance academy, The Royal Ballet School. It was amazing! All the lovely ballerinas, so graceful and precise. I tried my best to teach them the "Pink Tutu Pony Dance," and even though I got a few confused looks, I think they'll be incorporating my move into their routine soon!
Before leaving, I went on a little shopping spree, picking up the most delightful pair of sparkly pink ballet flats. Honestly, my love for pink tutus knows no bounds! The colour just lifts my spirits, you know? My aim is for everyone in the world to join the Pink Tutu revolution - even the Melton Mowbray locals!
And that, darlings, is just a glimpse into my week in Melton Mowbray. It was truly a memorable adventure, filled with sparkle, joy, and of course, pink tutus! Join me next week as we explore the beauty of Bury St Edmunds! Until then, keep those tutus twirling and spread the love!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
