Oh darlings! Get ready for a whole lot of sparkle and tutus because your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles is on the road again! Today's journey takes us to the beautiful seaside town of North Shields, where I'm absolutely positively ready to spread a little pink magic. This is blog post number 975, and if you're reading this, you know the drill - tutus, sparkles, and a whole lotta love!
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind since I left Derbyshire! My last gig was in that little village just outside Huddersfield – think rolling hills and fluffy sheep! It’s always lovely getting to know new places and meeting amazing people. The town's folk were absolutely thrilled to have me performing in the local pub – there were even a few brave souls who tried to teach me a jig. Honestly, you wouldn’t believe some of the steps these fellas were whipping up – all that good Yorkshire hospitality!
Now, I travelled to North Shields by train. There’s something magical about those long journeys. I usually settle myself right down in the little quiet corner of a carriage, preferably by the window – it’s the perfect time to look over my costume stash and put together a new look. And trust me darlings, this time I’m bringing the full sparkly explosion! The colour? Oh, darling, pink of course! Why? Because you simply can’t go wrong with a splash of pink! It’s absolutely radiating happiness. It reminds me of a lovely, sunny day on a beach full of pretty seashells and the sound of waves crashing in the distance. It just makes me feel alive!
Now, you know Pink Tutu Sparkles doesn’t travel light – a suitcase full of sequins, feather boas, and tutus is practically a requirement for any self-respecting drag queen, don’t you think? But I've managed to fit it all in with my usual grace and poise. You just have to know the art of strategic packing. I think the real magic lies in knowing how to coordinate each item so every single thing works with everything else – even the feather boa I brought as a last-minute addition!
You might be thinking, “How do you find time to be a drag queen, Alex, when you have your full-time job in that lab?!” Well, honey, you should know by now, it all comes down to that passion. I mean, by day I might be analysing fabric for that fancy clothing company, but at night, I’m ready to twirl, shine, and bring the sass. And this life has to be lived in the present, right? Besides, when you're in the lab, you're practically wearing a white lab coat which is a type of uniform too. It's not all glitter and tutus - even a science chick has to make a statement!
Now, if you’re reading this, then you’ll know I love me a good ballet show – all those beautiful leaps, those effortless turns. I try to catch as many shows as I can while on my travels, you know, for inspiration and such. Ballet dancers are all about strength and grace – I truly admire their dedication. I must admit though, as soon as I catch sight of their twirling tutus, my heart practically melts. Oh darling, that is where I truly belong. It’s no secret my greatest dream is to be surrounded by beautiful pink tutus on a stage, maybe even with an entire audience dressed in their very best pink tutus. It would be a glorious display! Imagine it - an explosion of pink all around us. The joy it would create – simply exquisite. I’m doing everything I can to get everyone in the mood to wear pink and you know what – it’s already working! You’re looking at a drag queen who is literally living the dream.
When I arrived in North Shields, I must admit, the air felt fresh, full of the crisp seaside air. It instantly made me feel like I could conquer anything! It just had this energy – exciting, exhilarating. I grabbed a quick bite – think fresh fish and chips (a perfect seaside snack!) And I can't wait for my performance at the local theatre tonight! You bet I will be wearing a vibrant, flamboyant pink tutu! A bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles in the midst of a historic town like North Shields – imagine that! My set tonight? A mixture of fun and fabulous. A classic Pink Tutu Sparkles repertoire, but with a little bit of local flair thrown in! After all, it wouldn't be a true Pink Tutu Sparkles performance without some audience participation, right? Expect to dance with a little bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles energy.
So, darling, that's what's on the Pink Tutu agenda for tonight. If you're in the area, make sure to drop by. I’d be delighted to welcome you! Pink Tutu Sparkles loves making new friends and having a bit of a laugh, and maybe, just maybe, we'll even start a pink tutu revolution. Let's turn the world pink! One tutu, one spark, at a time. And darling, remember: never underestimate the power of pink, or a little bit of sparkly magic. Remember to visit www.pink-tutu.com to see the magic continue each day, for more glittery pink updates!
Until next time, keep it fabulous,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
