Hello darlings! Your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, fresh off the train (oh, how I love the rhythm of the tracks!) and ready to share the sparkle with Cleethorpes. It's been a while since I last ventured to the East Coast, and this seaside town is calling to my inner-ballerina with its Victorian seaside charm.
I just love how I can go from dancing on a stage to rocking a science lab in the blink of an eye. By day, I'm Alex, meticulously analysing fabrics, but by night, I transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles! Sometimes, I feel like I'm living in two different worlds, but both are so incredibly fulfilling. You know what? This double life fuels my love of pink tutus! Ever since my uni days (don't tell anyone, but it was a science degree, not a dance one!), I just fell in love with the sheer joy of a tutu twirling. The colours, the twirls, the freedom! They just encapsulate everything I stand for, don't you think?
Anyway, back to Cleethorpes! I just landed in this lovely seaside haven and already, the energy is buzzing! I'm staying in this quaint little hotel that's so close to the beach, it feels like I'm right on the water. The air is crisp and salty, and there's this lovely beach promenade lined with quaint cafes. Oh, the pastel colours! Pink and turquoise everywhere - absolute bliss!
Tonight, I'm performing at the Grand Theatre. It's a majestic venue with ornate detailing and a touch of grandeur. You wouldn't believe the dressing room! Velvet chairs, sparkling chandeliers - all set to be the perfect stage for my signature glitter and tutus. The program includes a medley of Broadway classics and a brand new original ballet routine that I've been practicing for weeks. This one features a feather boa the size of a small fluffy dog. It's an absolute stunner!
Speaking of costumes, my wardrobe for this tour is a technicolour dream. My favourite outfit? You wouldn't believe it! It's a pink sequined tutu paired with a matching bomber jacket that looks like a candy explosion. Oh, and the heels! Platforms covered in glitter and sparkly butterflies. You wouldn't believe the look - truly one of my signature pieces!
For the performance, I always try to bring my own unique style to the table. It's not just about dancing, it's about expressing a story, a mood, a feeling. In Cleethorpes, the inspiration comes from the seaside: the rolling waves, the bright blue sky, the laughter echoing on the beach. I feel like I can just lose myself in it all and let the magic flow through me.
Now, I've heard whispers about a vintage clothing store called "The Fabric Fairy" near the pier. It’s said to have an incredible collection of vintage fabrics and materials, just begging for some pink tutu sparkle. So, tomorrow, I plan to unleash my inner bargain-hunter. Maybe I'll even find an inspiring piece or two to take back home! I'm thinking some vintage lace or maybe some hand-sewn beads – just the thing to add a touch of vintage flair to my future costumes.
It wouldn’t be a trip to a seaside town without enjoying a good old fashioned fish and chips! It's an absolute essential. The crisp, fluffy batter, the flaky fish, and the lashings of vinegar – divine! Tomorrow I'll find the perfect place and enjoy the quintessential seaside treat. Maybe I'll even bring some extra chips to share with the local pigeons, if they don't mind the glitter!
This journey isn't just about the dazzling performances or the beautiful clothes. It’s about spreading a little bit of joy and encouragement wherever I go. Because, in my experience, everyone, regardless of age or style, secretly wishes they could whirl and twirl in a pink tutu. I've seen the look in people's eyes, the spark of unleashing their inner child. It’s that joy and wonder I try to bring out in every single show.
Oh, before I forget, my darling friends, I need your help. For this Cleethorpes escapade, I need some truly iconic tutu outfit suggestions! Think coastal colours, vintage styles, perhaps even a touch of seashell-themed glamour? Let me know your suggestions!
