Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to share another whirlwind of an adventure with you lovely lot! As you know, I'm always on the go, flitting about like a hummingbird in a flower patch, and this week's jaunt took me to the delightful town of Harrow, just outside of London.
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Harrow? Really, Pink? What's in Harrow?" Well, let me tell you, there's more to this little gem than meets the eye. First of all, there's the absolutely fabulous Harrow School, a renowned public school steeped in history and with a gorgeous building - imagine the fabulousness of having that backdrop for my act! Plus, Harrow is also known for its charming Victorian architecture and its stunning park, Harrow-on-the-Hill, with breath-taking views over the city. Talk about a setting for a pink tutu dream, right?
But before we dive into the delights of Harrow, let's get a bit of background, shall we? Now, you all know I have a serious soft spot for tutus, right? I mean, who doesn't love the twirl, the twirl, and the glorious twirl again? But for those of you who haven't been following me for a while, let me tell you my story! It all began while I was still Alex, studying a science degree in Derbyshire (you can imagine my joy at being able to dissect the chemical composition of tulle later on!). I was in the university ballet club, and a friend dared me to try on a pink tutu for a charity event. And that, my darlings, was that. It was love at first twirl!
After years of dreaming about tutus and watching endless ballet performances, the seed was sown and Pink Tutu Sparkles blossomed! By day, I work as a scientist in a lab, testing fabric for durability and quality (no wonder I'm so obsessed with tulle!), and by night, I unleash the magic of Pink Tutu Sparkles upon the world. I perform anywhere and everywhere I can, from cosy pubs to bustling fairgrounds. You name it, Iāll twirl my way onto the stage, leaving a trail of glitter and rainbows in my wake!
And my adventures this week in Harrow were certainly full of glitter and rainbows! I kicked off the evening by catching the most enchanting ballet performance at the fabulous Harrow Arts Centre. Weāre talking āGiselleā, my darlings, pure magic! You know how much I adore the choreography and the story of Giselle, the heartbroken country girl, transformed into a Wili by love and betrayal. I felt like a little girl again, captivated by the magic and the graceful movements.
The following day, I got my own twirling on! You know, I love finding local ballet schools wherever I go, and this time, it was the delightful "Dance for Life Academy." They welcomed me with open arms (and Iām sure a few chuckles as they watched me with my ridiculous amounts of pink). Itās amazing how a community gathers around ballet, everyone supporting one another in achieving their dance dreams. I'll tell you, thereās nothing quite like the camaraderie of fellow dancers. I was even lucky enough to join their afternoon class ā though I won't be auditioning for the Royal Ballet any time soon, I'm sure! My pliĆ©s are more like, āOh, dear me, where did my balance go?ā, and my pirouettes are better described as wobbly spinning than a smooth, elegant twirl!
That night, it was back to my stage for a performance at the āGolden Horseshoeā pub ā always a welcoming crowd for a pink-clad, glitter-laden performance! You know, I absolutely love playing a role in helping people embrace their own unique sense of style and personality. It's like unleashing their inner tutu queen (and hopefully making the world a more fabulous place, one pink tutu at a time)!
Now, hereās a little peek at my day in Harrow - because a post wouldn't be complete without some visual delights!

Of course, my journey to Harrow wouldnāt have been complete without some fantastic outfit choices! First, for the ballet performance, I donned a magnificent tulle gown that shimmered like starlight. The color? Naturally, pink. With just the right amount of glitz, the gown was topped off with a pink silk scarf, some elegant white gloves, and sparkling diamond earrings. A beautiful look for a sophisticated ballet night, don't you think?
And for my pub performance, I needed a show-stopping look. I opted for a fabulous turquoise sequin gown, with magenta feathered sleeves for some extra flair. My wig? A sky blue, bouncy bouffant style - all for extra drama. You know, itās all about that "big and fabulous" feeling on stage, right?
Oh, and my journey to Harrow? You know me, darling, I wouldnāt go anywhere without the pinkest train possible. Imagine my joy when I found one that had a lovely pale pink carriage, adorned with frills and floral cushions - and all for an adventure into Harrowās wonderful town!
Before I wrap up, letās have a quick game! You know I love getting involved with you darlings - and a good, old-fashioned quiz is a lovely way to connect and have some fun! So, tell meā¦ what is YOUR favorite kind of pink tutu? Letās discuss your favorite twirls and style ā comment down below, and share your love for the magical pink tulle, darling! Iād love to know your thoughts.
Stay tuned for my next post, my loves! Iām on my way to another wonderful town (a secret, for now!) Letās continue to make the world a little more fabulous, one pink tutu at a time!
With much love and twirls, Pink Tutu Sparkles xx
