Post 233: Tutu-ing My Way to Frome
Hello my darlings, it's Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from a beautiful little town called Frome! You know how I love to flit from town to town, leaving a trail of pink tulle and sparkly smiles in my wake. This week, Frome was beckoning. And you know me, I'm never one to resist a call from a new adventure.
You might be wondering how I got here, and it all began with a visionā¦ of pink tutus, naturally! I'm not even joking - I had this crazy dream about dancing in the middle of Frome Market with a thousand twirling pink tutus swirling around me. So, as any sane, self-respecting drag queen would do, I grabbed my sequins, hopped on a train, and made the dream a reality!
Speaking of trains, you wouldnāt believe the train journey. As always, I went full sparkle, pink-tutu mode, and for a second there, I felt like I'd stepped straight onto the set of "Murder on the Orient Express". Imagine: A scarlet train carriage, dim lighting, the murmur of whispers, and one gloriously pink, sequined, tutu-clad vision! Talk about a dramatic entrance. And yes, my darlings, there was a good dose of glamour, but you already knew that, right?
After that fab journey, I landed in Frome with a spring in my step and enough pink tulle to dress the entire town! The cobbled streets are just gorgeous - they make for some fantastic ballet-style strolls!
I love it when a place has a little "quirky" about it. That's what drew me to Frome. Itās bursting with little independent shops, cafes and galleries ā you can practically feel the creative buzz! Oh, and have I told you about the delicious smelling cakes in the shops? I just had to try a few... (Donāt worry, Iām wearing my trusty, stretchy tutu - those pastries arenāt standing a chance against its awesome powers!).
So, the stage is set, literally, because this weekend I'll be bringing some of that Pink Tutu Sparkles magic to Frome. Youāll catch me in a little, tucked-away theatre called The Merlin Theatre, and they are already ready for some tutus ā thank goodness, because so am I! I have a brand new set to showcase ā think ballerina and flamenco fusion - and I've been perfecting a new routine involving, letās just say, a rather impressive collection of glitter bombs. Expect a flurry of sequins, a touch of ballet magic, and enough pink tulle to satisfy your wildest dreams. And donāt even get me started on my pink sequined bootsā¦ letās just say theyāre an absolute sensation!
But wait, there's more! I'll be getting the local folks to twirl in my infamous āPink Tutu Paradeā on the Market Square! My mission: To spread a little pink joy to Frome, one twirling tutu at a time. Because as my Grandma always used to say, āIf itās pink and sparkly, you canāt go wrongā. Wise words, darling!
I promise you, you won't want to miss this! Come for the glitter, the tunes, and most importantly, for a dose of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic! You know me, my darlings - when Pink Tutu Sparkles is in town, the only way to roll isā¦ well, you guessed it, in a pink tutu!
Until next time, darlings. Be brave, be bold, and be fabulous. And remember, thereās always a little bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles in all of us - just waiting to break free!
Yours in sparkly pink glory,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (and Alex, the scientist-by-day!)

Pink Tutu Postscript:
Now, donāt forget, I was that awkward teenager who used to love to wear pink tutus (donāt judge me!). I actually got into all of this while I was studying science at Uni. I was in the university ballet club, and during one charity event, I tried on a pink tutu. It felt like a revelation. Like I was stepping into another me. One who just wanted to twirl, to glitter, to make people smile. And as soon as the pink tulle hit my skin, I knew that Pink Tutu Sparkles was born. The rest, as they say, is history!
I might spend my days in a lab, testing fabrics and whatnot. But let me tell you, a day in the lab feels a whole lot better with the thought of getting to slip into my sequins later. That night, when Pink Tutu Sparkles emerges, well, itās not about science; itās about a journey. My journey to convince everyone to wear a pink tutu. Iām living the dream. Every twirl, every sparkle, is a testament to the fact that anything is possible when you just believe in your glitter heart.
Until next time!
