Hello my darling darlings! 💋 It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and oh my goodness, do I have a story to tell! This past weekend was a whirlwind of sequins, sparkles, and, of course, pink tutus.
You see, I've always had a soft spot for Leicester. It's got a certain charm, don't you think? Plus, the city has a long and storied history with theatre and ballet, which, as you all know, are two of my favourite things. It was time for a visit, and a performance, of course!
I knew I had to make a grand entrance, so what better way than by train? I swear, travelling by rail is so much more fun in drag! All the stares, all the whispers - pure theatre, darling! I mean, I did have my signature pink tutu on, layered over a sequined hot pink mini dress. It was simply divine!
The journey itself was a joy. You wouldn't believe the fascinating characters I met along the way! We had a young couple on their way to see a ballet performance, just like me, a businessman wearing a waistcoat, which always makes me think of Austen novels (don't ask!), and a grandma with a suitcase overflowing with knitted scarves. I'd be lying if I said I didn't share a few fashion tips with the last two!
But I was on a mission! Leicester's theatre district beckoned with its dazzling lights and air of anticipation. I couldn't wait to perform and to feel the energy of the crowd. This wasn't just another show, darlings; this was a chance to spread the gospel of pink tutus!
The venue itself was a lovely little gem – a cabaret bar with a real vintage feel. As soon as I walked in, the staff were thrilled to see me in all my pink-tutu glory! I felt a surge of excitement. This was going to be great.
And it was! I did my signature mix of dance, song, and sass, all while keeping it bubbly and family friendly, of course! I twirled, I strutted, I shimmied, and yes, I even managed a split – well, more of a semi-split, but hey, it was still impressive, wouldn't you say?
After the show, I was absolutely floored by the response! Everyone was raving about my pink tutu, and several people even asked me about my work as a scientist! Now, let's be honest, it's not exactly what you'd expect, but you never know, maybe one of them will become a fan of the scientific side of pink tutus...you never know!
Anyway, back to Leicester... the night wasn't over! We headed to a local restaurant – the food was phenomenal! And after, I was lucky enough to meet the most delightful group of people. There were aspiring actors, students with a passion for dance, and even a lady with the most amazing vintage jewellery collection! I even convinced one of them to try on a spare pink tutu I had stashed in my handbag, darling! She loved it, I think she'll be my new pink-tutu-wearing devotee! 💖
Leaving Leicester the next morning, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. It was like saying goodbye to a cherished friend, a new memory made that will be cherished forever. But as I waved goodbye to the city, my mind already filled with ideas for my next pink tutu adventure, I knew this wasn't the last time I'd see Leicester. Oh no, darling, I've got many more adventures planned for this lovely city, including a visit to the National Space Centre! What better place for a science-loving drag queen?
Now, you're probably wondering, what's my biggest takeaway from this fabulous journey? It's this: it's important to remember that life is a stage and we're all players, so let's all bring our unique personalities and talents to the party. And what better way to celebrate that than by embracing a little bit of pink tutu magic!
Stay glamorous and sparkly, darling, until next time!
Xoxo
