Hey my fabulous followers, it’s your Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with a dazzling blog post straight from the heart of Southall! 💖 This is post number 1368, and I’m still buzzing from a whirlwind week of sparkle and sunshine!
Now, let’s talk about travel! As you all know, I adore exploring new places, and there’s nothing quite like the romance of train travel for me. Picture it: the soft rumble of the carriage, the calming click-clack of the wheels, and a cuppa in my hand – all while I'm planning my next dazzling outfit for my Southall performance! 🚂 The other day, I even took a train journey that was reminiscent of my childhood dream – I rode in a horse-drawn carriage! (I'll save the full story for another day.) The carriage wasn't pink, but I did get some fabulous photos in my sparkly pink tutu, so that counts for something!
This week's adventure took me to the charming streets of Southall, a place that pulsates with vibrant energy. It's like a colourful tapestry of cultures and flavours, just like me, Pink Tutu Sparkles! I love that I can wander around Southall market and discover incredible gems. I even bought some gorgeous silk for a new stage outfit. Did I tell you my favourite colour is pink? There was so much inspiration for my act in Southall - I’m planning to use the colourful textiles for a special tutu number that celebrates all things vibrant and bright! 💖
Of course, I couldn’t visit Southall without indulging in its culinary delights! From the tantalizing smells of spice and the heavenly taste of freshly-baked bread, every corner of this beautiful borough promises an explosion of senses. Did you know I have an absolute sweet tooth? And my, oh my, I must have sampled half a dozen different Indian sweets - from creamy barfi to flaky rasgullas - and all with a generous sprinkling of edible glitter! ✨ I may be a queen of sparkle, but I never skip dessert. 🧁
Now, let’s talk about the performance. My Tutu Queen persona loves spreading her joy, sparkle and, of course, pink! The Southall performance was truly unforgettable. It was magical. I could see everyone's eyes lighting up with excitement as I sashayed and spun, the delicate layers of my tutu billowing in a colourful haze. And speaking of my tutu...it was absolutely pink. Think bubblegum pink, with a sprinkle of iridescent silver. I know you all love a good pink tutu as much as I do, and we danced the night away to a selection of Bollywood classics. The audience couldn't have been more welcoming and warm, making my performance even more special.
Do you ever think about how much love and care goes into creating the perfect tutu? It’s a work of art. Like me! 💖 And it takes even more dedication to make that tutu spin and twirl on stage! Not that I have to work very hard - after all, I was a ballerina long before I was a drag queen!
Of course, no blog post is complete without a glimpse of my daytime alter ego – Alex, the fabric scientist! Believe it or not, science and sparkle can be surprisingly intertwined. Just think about the incredible fabrics and materials we use to make dazzling stage outfits. You can imagine me surrounded by lab equipment – maybe some might even call me “Tutu Queen” at work - and all my beautiful swatches and fabric rolls are a feast for the eyes! And if there’s ever a lab in the world that requires a pink tutu, I’m there! 💖
After all, you can’t just rock a sparkly tutu, you need a solid understanding of how fabric behaves under pressure!
But enough about my dual life – I have so much more to tell you. Just follow me on my blog every day! You can visit me on www.pink-tutu.com for your daily dose of sparkly fun and inspiration. And if you ever happen to find yourself in Southall, look out for me. And if you have a favourite pink tutu outfit, be sure to share it on my website.
Until next time, keep it fabulous and keep it pink, darling!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xoxo
