Helloooo darlings! It's your girl, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live fromā¦ Chorley! Yes, you heard that right! This little gem in Lancashire has become the latest stop on my pink-tutu-infused world tour. And let me tell you, I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement! This is post number 1468, and let's just say, it's been a wild ride getting here. But, as always, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Iām still getting used to calling myself Alex in the day, it feels soā¦un-sparkly! But, after all, a girlās gotta have her day job. Youāll find me hunched over a microscope, analyzing the intricacies of fabric, you know, doing my scientific bit. By night, however, I morph into Pink Tutu Sparkles, the Queen of Bling, and well, you know the restā¦ pink, tutus, glitterā¦ and endless joy! I've come a long way since I first donned that fluffy pink tutu for a university charity event, I actually ended up having a full-blown epiphany wearing that thingā¦ a total Pink Tutu Sparkle moment! Who knew that something so light and fluffy could change your life?! I suppose, as with all great things, the answerāsā¦ magic.
The journey here was, as usual, a rollercoaster! I decided to try the train this time, you know, embrace the nostalgia and romance of a long train journey. I even brought along a cute little tea set for my afternoon break. (Oh, it's practically criminal how cute it is!) The journey, despite the somewhat questionable biscuits on offer, was totally lovely. Nothing beats looking out of the window and watching the English countryside zip by, all green and peaceful, a total contrast to my inner kaleidoscope of pink and glitter!
I landed in Chorley just in time for sunset. And let me tell you, it was truly a magical moment! The sky turned these amazing shades of peach and purpleā¦almost pink! And it got me thinkingā¦ Pink Tutu Sparkles needs to create an entire "Pink Sky" theme show, just filled with fabulous frocks and a whole lot of twinkling lights, oh my!
Speaking of fabulous frocksā¦ you wouldnāt believe the gems I've discovered in this little town. Weāre talking vintage shops brimming with gorgeous treasures from a bygone era and designer boutiques bursting with the latest looks. I managed to snag the most fabulous emerald green velvet top, and trust me, it's just screaming to be paired with a voluminous pink tutu! I might have even snagged a few little trinkets from the vintage fair. I always find that finding that perfect antique jewel is so exciting, it feels like a treasure hunt, which I am always up for.
Now, you all know how much I love ballet, so it goes without saying that I had to hit up Chorleyās gorgeous theatre for a show. This lovely venue just radiated charm. The show featured a fantastic blend of classical ballet and street dancingā¦ I've been dying to try out some street dance myself, I just know that tutu twirls would look fantastic alongside some of the cool hip-hop moves, wouldnāt it? The dancersā passion was contagiousā¦ I caught myself grinning and clapping with such force, I might have broken one of my sparkly nail tips! Oops!
Later, as I wandered through the bustling market, I realized something incredibly special about Chorley. The people were so friendly, genuinely so. This town is absolutely overflowing with character, with people eager to talk and make new friends. Everyone was so enthusiastic about my pink tutu and my mission! They told me stories about local festivals that were just begging for Pink Tutu Sparkles. I know that I will have to make Chorley my second homeā¦or my āpink second homeā , I am thinking. I always get a little teary eyed when people ask for selfies, because to be honest, it means the world to me, my fans are the reason I continue doing this. Every new location brings a new group of faces, itās exciting! Thereās still so much Iāve got to see and do, even now my suitcase is packed, the train awaits meā¦
It was just before heading to my performance at the "Pink Flamingoā pub (I mean, how amazing is that name, right? They are the perfect venue!) that it occurred to meā¦ how could I, the Pink Tutu Queen herself, have come all this way without bringing the power of pink to everyone around me? So, with a flourish and a giggle, I gathered up a whole stack of pink ribbons and a generous handful of glitter (always have that glitter, just in case!), and I started handing them out to anyone and everyone.
Imagine thisā¦ The entire pub buzzing with conversations about tutus, with kids sporting sparkly ribbons and the entire crowd bathed in a sea of pink glitter! My act that night was a total blast! The energy was electrifying. And let's just say, the crowd absolutely loved it! As always, I had people shouting "You look so fabulous! You've made my night! You are my role model!ā You know how I love making a little glitter rain during my finale, and let me tell you, it made the place sparkle with even more life!
The last day of my trip involved the most fabulous horseback ride across the Cheshire countryside! You know, when people say āPink Tutu Sparkles, your outfits would look lovely riding a horse!āā¦ I had to do it! The horseās name was "Prince," of course! I don't know about you, but a horse and pink tutu is a beautiful combination! I managed to take a picture of myself at sunset, it just made my journey so picture perfect. I'm going to start sharing my pictures with my fabulous friends at www.pink-tutu.com , be sure to check in for my next adventure.
Pink tutus really do unite the world! I can't wait to discover my next destination. Where in the world should I go? I am leaving this up to my devoted followers, tell me where you would like to see me!
Remember, darlings, wear pink! Be fierce! Shine like a pink tutu!
Until next time, Stay Sparkly.
XOXO Pink Tutu Sparkles š
