Hello my gorgeous darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and guess what? I'm off on another grand adventure! This time, I'm shimmying and twirling my way to Rochdale! You know I love a good train journey – there's just something so magical about gliding through the countryside in a comfy carriage, gazing out at the passing scenery, and daydreaming about my next dazzling performance!
Today's the big day – a journey through rolling hills, towards the charming town of Rochdale! It’s my 305th blog post – so, in my best glittery voice – ding ding ding – let the sparkle begin!
From Science to Sparkle: My Tutu Transformation
As some of you lovely lot know, I'm actually a real-life scientist by day – you can catch me at my lab bench in Derbyshire, meticulously testing the resilience and breathability of new fabric designs. It might seem like an unlikely mix – the world of science and the glamorous realm of pink tutus, right? But it’s those contrasts that make my life a riot of colour, wouldn’t you say?
I stumbled into the dazzling world of drag when I was at university – studying science by day and attending ballet classes with the uni's dance club by night. For a charity fundraiser, I had to try on a tutu, and bam! The sparkle-bomb exploded within me. I had a sudden overwhelming need to own, wear, and breathe pink tutus every single day!
So here I am, blending the elegance of ballet with the power of my tutu, spreading glitter wherever I go, all thanks to the whimsical world of drag.
Why Rochdale? It's Tutu-tastic!
You might be thinking, "Rochdale, Pink Tutu? Why?" Well, my darlings, Rochdale is just as vibrant and sparkly as a well-sequined tutu! It's steeped in history, brimming with arts and culture, and of course, renowned for its incredible textile industry. You bet that's where my fascination with fabrics comes from – those beautiful textiles woven in Rochdale have been a major source of inspiration for my shimmering creations!
My plan? To grace the town with a touch of my signature sparkle – to spread my love for tutus and show everyone that fashion knows no limits, no matter where you are. Rochdale’s bustling streets and lively community are the perfect backdrop for a truly spectacular Pink Tutu Sparkles performance!
Travel By Train or Horse: A Pink Tutu’s Delight
While I’ve certainly travelled the world, train journeys are a particularly cherished aspect of my travels. But, if you ever see a pink tutu-wearing diva on horseback, you’ll know that I'm venturing out on another unique adventure! For me, travelling isn't just about reaching a destination – it’s about soaking up the journey, letting the world inspire me, and finding magic in the mundane.
Today's train journey has been especially heartwarming, watching the changing landscapes and observing the everyday people who pass through. It always reminds me of the power of community, and why sharing the joy of my performances means so much to me.
What To Expect: Pink Tutu-licious Adventures
And what awaits me in Rochdale? My inner girly girl squeals with anticipation. A blend of dazzling fashion finds, vibrant markets buzzing with life, and captivating art spaces – Rochdale promises to be a true testament to my vision: To wear tutus, to dance, to inspire others to express themselves freely!
Follow me, my lovelies, as I document my trip! Every day is a new story, every performance a celebration of pink tutus, and every journey a reminder that the most magical things often begin with a single twirl!
I'll be posting pictures and updates throughout my time here, so keep checking back for all the pink tutu fun.
Stay sparkly,

Rochdale, Day 1: A Town Dressed in Pink!
The first day in Rochdale is always a sensory explosion! The town welcomes me with open arms – just like a warm hug after a long journey. I instantly feel that warm Rochdale vibe, and the place is full of so much colourful history!
After settling into my adorable little hotel room (that had a fab pink chaise lounge, of course!), I stepped outside and felt like I'd stepped straight onto a vintage movie set – stunning Victorian architecture, cobbled streets, charming boutiques and antique shops with their glistening window displays! I felt so inspired – Rochdale’s vintage vibe was just begging for me to twirl around in a glamorous tulle dress!

From the grand days of mill production to the innovative textiles of today, Rochdale's spirit for creative textiles just blew me away!
Ballet Time: My Love Affair With Dance
No visit to Rochdale is complete without a graceful ballet experience, right? So, my next stop is a performance at the prestigious Rochdale Town Hall. The grandeur of this beautiful Victorian building simply took my breath away. Its historic architecture makes you want to dance – which is just what I plan to do when I make my performance in a few days.
I even managed to sneak in a quick ballet class at the Rochdale Dance Academy. I just adore these local ballet studios – it feels so warm and welcoming, you can feel the joy and passion for dance just oozing through the walls. And with my fabulous tutu in tow, I practically floated through those pirouettes, feeling like a true prima ballerina!

Food for My Sparkling Soul
I don't know about you, but a fabulously filling meal makes any trip even more spectacular! Rochdale didn’t disappoint. From bustling cafes that offer everything from classic fish and chips to delicious pies and pasta, I discovered culinary treasures that are absolutely worthy of the "Pink Tutu Sparkles Seal of Approval.”
Of course, no day in Rochdale is complete without a cheeky afternoon tea, right? My visit to a quaint cafe complete with dainty china, freshly baked scones, and a pot of steaming tea is always a welcome tradition. This experience truly transports me to a different era, reminding me of those charming tea parties from my childhood. It's like a ritual to reflect, plan my next twirl, and embrace the wonder of it all!
Rochdale Day 2: Spreading The Tutu Love!
Today, I want to share my passion for tutus, not just with Rochdale's vibrant community, but with the world! With my suitcase full of dazzling tulle gowns and sparkling accessories, I am on my way to the local art fair. It’s a beautiful opportunity to let the local creatives and curious art lovers be my audience. And of course, who knows – I might even find myself a new outfit to bring a bit of Rochdale magic into my future performances!
