Darling dears,
How’s my gorgeous darlings? It’s your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to shimmy and shake about the day’s fabulous adventures. Today, my tutu and I have taken to the rails, venturing to the charming, bustling Croydon. You wouldn’t believe the excitement. It was all a little bit chaotic with the pigeons fluttering about the station, but I kept my cool (mostly, darling!), remembering my Tutu mantra - Keep calm and carry on, but most of all, wear your pink tutu.
Today, my loves, my journey was fuelled by a whirlwind of events – I can’t get enough of a full plate, can you? First things first, my early morning started, as usual, in the lab – I mean, it's important to stay grounded. My day job is all about science - examining fabric structures, testing colourfastness, making sure the material won’t crumble in a heatwave.
You might think that science is a bit, well, dry. But not when you can infuse your life’s work with your passion - my true love, tutus! The best bit of my day? Well, obviously, I test every colour under the sun for durability – but the piece de resistance, the real pinnacle, the jewel in my crown – pink fabric. Just like a little slice of paradise for the eyes and soul!
Right, where was I? Ah, yes. After all that fascinating fabric science, it was time to embrace the true me, and that means transforming into your favourite tutu-clad drag queen. The moment I step into my tutu and sprinkle on that shimmering glitter, it’s like a light switch goes off - I'm ready to rock this stage!
Now, as most of you know, I’m a firm believer in embracing all kinds of transport - trains are my love, especially the charming old steam engines – but don’t get me wrong, I’ll hop on a horse whenever the opportunity presents itself! Today though, it was all about a whistle stop train journey to Croydon.
Croydon - what a bustling hub! From the vibrant Market to the sleek shopping centres, there was energy squirting out of every corner - just how I like it! Honestly, my darling dears, I felt my inner glitterati shine brighter than ever in that captivating metropolis.
My schedule in Croydon, it was as jam-packed as my overflowing jewelled jewellery box – imagine tiny diamonds sparkling away! You know how I love to squeeze in all the fun I can, from spinning around at a ballet show, and I'm talking pointe shoes and all – I do love a good pas de deux, my loves – to an enthralling performance on stage!
And Croydon had a surprise for me. Can you believe I found a store – wait for it – selling only pink clothing! Oh, the tutu-licious overload – my pockets almost sprung open on their own to snap up the delightful frocks, shoes, and let’s not forget the pink socks. I mean, who doesn’t need a good pink sock collection?
There was so much to see in Croydon, my dears, every little corner held a tiny treasure to be admired and devoured - but for all its glittering attractions, the real magic – was my heart soaring to new heights when I witnessed a group of local girls taking a ballet class on the public square! My heart swelled, like my perfect pink skirt! Oh, the beautiful balletic artistry and those delicate, precise steps. The world really is my oyster, you see? Even Croydon can deliver
What a perfect blend of beauty and charm, all bundled into this beautiful little town. The world may revolve around London, but Croydon, darling, you truly had my heart skipping a beat. The journey, however, wasn't about the destination alone - it was about embracing the moment, dancing on that high, and enjoying each blissful step along the way.
Tonight, after a wonderful evening filled with sparkling delights and a couple of cheeky cocktails, my pink tutu and I are back home in Derbyshire. You know me, though, always dreaming about tomorrow - about my next grand adventure. What’s next for Pink Tutu Sparkles? Let’s keep it under wraps, shall we? It’s enough to know that my life’s journey continues – and, my dear dears, you can always come along for the ride.

If it doesn't involve a pink tutu, then I don't want it!
Pinkly Yours, Pink Tutu Sparkles
