Hello, my darlings! It's Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, reporting live from the magical city of Plymouth. And let me tell you, my fabulous fam, it's a real treat! I’ve taken a little train trip, the chuff-chuff and clattering was so exciting. As you all know, the train is my go-to mode of transport for my glamorous adventures, unless a well-groomed horse is conveniently on hand, but you can't always rely on horses, can you?!
As usual, I'm dressed to impress, sparkling in a shimmering, hot-pink tulle masterpiece that wouldn't be out of place in the most prestigious ballet theatre. My outfit, darlings, was carefully curated at the most delightful emporium of all things feminine and fancy - and let me tell you, this city has a treasure trove of these kinds of shops! And it just happened to be sale day! Can you imagine the shopping extravaganza? I spent hours rummaging through the racks, discovering glittering trinkets and sequins and… well, let’s just say the back of my cab is a bit fuller than when it arrived, shall we?! But back to Plymouth…
Today’s been one of those fabulous days where even the weather is on my side, and, let's be honest, sunshine always puts the "sparkle" in "Pink Tutu Sparkles". The harbour has the most adorable little boats bobbing about - it just felt like the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot with my latest creation.
Did you know my whole Pink Tutu journey started with one single tutu?! I was knee deep in a chemistry degree, spinning around with the university ballet club for their annual fundraiser - I decided to try on this bright, shiny, sparkling tutu for fun. And the rest is history. I realised that I was meant to live my life wearing a pink tutu! I mean, just imagine! All the sparkle! All the glitter! I couldn't help myself - I had to become a drag artist!
And now here I am in Plymouth, all thanks to you wonderful folk who believe in my sparkly mission of spreading joy and a sprinkle of pink to every corner of the world, one pink tutu at a time. And my mission, my dearest readers, continues! It's an uphill battle (with a few fabulous sequins strategically placed on the fabric) but, together, we can conquer the world with tutus of every colour of the rainbow, from blush-pink to cerise to electric magenta!
My first order of business this trip: to hit the Plymouth Theatre for a spectacular performance, a real ballet treat - the "Nutcracker"! Yes! You heard it right. “Pink Tutu Sparkles goes ballet.” You see, darling, I believe in supporting the arts in all its forms. What would our world be without beautiful ballet dancers twirling on the stage in their beautiful tutus?
And while I’m at the theatre, it’ll be my little tribute to that very first tutu I ever wore - it's the inspiration that started my whole drag journey – and it all began, of course, in my very own hometown - Derbyshire! Oh yes, I’m just a country lass with a heart full of sparkles and a mission to make every day a tutu extravaganza.
Next on my itinerary is the annual Plymouth Fair! It's a colourful carnival with stalls, rides and everything pink you could dream of - what more could I ask for? I plan on getting out my sparkly, colourful, custom-made “Tutu Queen” crown. You know, the one with all the diamantés? The one with pink, blue, and turquoise, like the prettiest sea-glass you can find on the shores of Devon! I'll be doing some dazzling performances, a few cheeky, but polite, chats with the locals, and who knows - I may even recruit a few to embrace their inner tutu Queen!
Stay tuned, my lovelies! Pink Tutu Sparkles x
