Well, hello darlings! It’s your favourite pink tutu-clad drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, checking in from the fabulous city of Lyon! Can you believe it's November already? Time flies when you're dazzling in a sparkly pink tutu, doesn't it? 😉
Lyon is just magical! Honestly, you guys wouldn't believe the exquisite shops and the oh-so-French bakeries with those stunning pastries! Le sigh Every time I smell fresh bread, my inner ballerina pirouettes in delight. 🥖🩰
Anyway, I landed here earlier this week after a rather romantic train journey, passing through the rolling hills of the French countryside, listening to my favourite Parisian jazz and imagining myself as a dancer in a Moulin Rouge show. ✨ Don't worry, no spontaneous outbursts of 'Je ne regrette rien!' – just me being my usual bubbly self, even when traveling incognito as my "regular" self, Alex. 😜
Speaking of Alex, did you know this little science whizz actually works in a lab by day? It’s a bit of a change from shimmering under the stage lights, but I love the contrast. In the lab, I’m testing fabric, analysing fibres – yes, you read that right, a proper scientist in my spare time! Honestly, it's so cool to be able to take the knowledge I learn from testing textiles and apply it to my costume designs. Can't you picture me meticulously planning every sparkle and tulle stitch? 😉
You see, it all began in university, during one of those annual charity fundraisers. We were raising money for a local children's hospital, and a student asked me to try on a pink tutu for the charity fashion show. My world changed in that instant. Let's just say, a pink tutu wearing scientist is the epitome of fabulous, wouldn’t you say? ✨
Now, where was I? Ah yes, Lyon! My dear friend Marie, a fellow ballet enthusiast (and occasional tutu wearer!), arranged for me to meet the fantastic team at l'Opera National de Lyon to take in a delightful ballet performance. It was nothing short of magnificent. The costumes, the dancing, the whole atmosphere... a tutu girl's dream! I may have shed a happy tear or two. 💖
This evening, though, it's my turn to shine! I’ll be performing my latest act, "The Tutus of Time," at the enchanting "Cabaret Le Papillon." Think historical tutu moments, but with a glittery, modern twist! Imagine, Pink Tutu Sparkles meeting Marie Antoinette for a waltzing ballet showdown! You won’t want to miss this, my lovelies!
After Lyon, I’ll be riding on a lovely carriage to my next stop. Imagine me, resplendent in my pinkest, fluffiest tutu, trotting across the French countryside – a vision in pink! The horse is already neighing excitedly in anticipation. 🐴 We might even have a tutu-wearing race... but let's keep that a secret for now. 😏
I’m still totally obsessed with spreading the tutu love, my darlings. Pink tutus are a symbol of joy, self-expression, and pure fun. Every single person in this world deserves a moment of twirling delight – even you, dear readers! You might not be brave enough to go full-on drag queen, but you could always try adding a pop of pink to your life - even just a cute pink hair tie, or a vibrant pink nail polish! Every little bit counts, and the world needs a little more sparkle. 💖
So, that's my news from beautiful Lyon! Stay tuned for more updates from my next tutu adventure. In the meantime, remember:
Pink is the new black. 💖
Shine bright,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
