Hello, darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to whisk you away on another glamorous adventure. Today’s stop? The lovely town of Huyton, a little corner of Merseyside with a big heart for glitter.
It's been a long, but fabulous, journey getting here. My trusty steed - a glorious scarlet train - chugged me through the English countryside, a landscape that could inspire even the dullest of designers (although I wouldn't know, because I haven't met a dull designer in my life). I even caught a glimpse of a couple of adorable fluffy lambs frolicking in a field - couldn't resist taking a few snaps for my Insta-story!
Speaking of snaps, you know I couldn't arrive in Huyton without a dazzling outfit, and darling, let me tell you, I went all out. Picture this: a blush-pink, voluminous tutu (naturally) layered over a sequined top the colour of a champagne sunrise. My hair - a fluffy pink cloud - cascaded down my back, finished off with a crystal-studded headband that glittered under the station’s flickering neon. Honestly, even the grumpy ticket inspector smiled.
Now, some of you might be wondering - "How on earth did you get to be a travelling tutu queen?" It’s a fair question. The truth is, darling, this pink-loving princess is living her dream. It all began at university. I was studying science, and the world of lab coats and equations had me feeling like a faded colour in a world of black and white. But then, I joined the university's ballet club and, on a whim, I decided to try on a pink tutu for a charity fundraiser. And it was like a bolt of sparkly lightning! It was destiny, my darlings!
From that moment on, I knew I was destined to live my life wrapped in tulle and dripping in glitter. Pink Tutu Sparkles was born, and since then, my life's become a whirlwind of glittery adventures. By day, I’m Alex, the science geek working in a fabric testing lab, analysing threads and experimenting with different colours and textures (pink, naturally). But by night? It's time for the show to begin, and let me tell you, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Huyton has embraced Pink Tutu Sparkles with open arms. This evening I'll be performing at The Mermaid Inn, a cozy pub with a hidden stage where dreams come alive in the flicker of fairy lights and the cheers of the crowd. They even had the brilliant idea of decorating the entire venue with pink ribbons! The show will be a blend of comedy, music and of course, a whole lot of tutu-inspired dance moves. It’s going to be sensational, my loves.
There's something truly magical about travelling. I get to explore new corners of the world, meet wonderful people, and spread the joy of pink tutus. It’s not just about the sequins and the spectacle, darling. It’s about reminding people to be joyful, to celebrate the simple pleasures in life, and of course, to embrace the pink within them!
If you ever see Pink Tutu Sparkles hopping on a train, do come say hello. But please, darling, no questions about my science degree - it’s best not to mention that in front of my devoted tutu fans.
Until next time, keep the faith and let your pink flag fly high. Remember, it’s all about the twirl and the sparkle!
Lots of love and a thousand glittering kisses,
Pink Tutu Sparkles xx
P.S. I've been meaning to ask... have you ever considered wearing a pink tutu?
My Huyton Highlights:- The Mermaid Inn: What a magical space! I loved the friendly staff, the cozy atmosphere and the twinkling fairy lights. If you're ever in Huyton, make sure you pop by for a pint and a giggle!
- Huyton Park: Who needs Versailles when you have this? The park is an absolute treasure, with a lovely lake, towering trees, and endless grassy spaces perfect for practicing a few of my signature tutu twirls.
- The "Pink-a-licious" Surprise: My biggest shock of the day was walking into the town center and finding a shop called "Tutus for All!" Talk about fate, darling! I just had to step inside for a browse, of course. And guess what? I found the perfect pink tutu to add to my collection - you just know I'm going to have to showcase it in my next performance.
For all my glamorous fellow travellers, if you're ever planning a train trip, I always recommend bringing a spare pair of fabulous heels for when you get off. A girl can never have too many choices!
Pink Tutu Sparkles’ Outfit Breakdown:- Tutu: A glorious vintage pink tutu with tiers upon tiers of soft, floaty tulle.
- Top: A sequined top that I bought on a whim at a little shop in London - a steal, darling!
- Shoes: A classic pair of white pumps that I customised with pink sparkly trim (I just couldn’t resist a little bit of extra sparkle).
Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about reminding people to embrace their inner joy, to believe in themselves and their dreams. Don’t be afraid to let your freak flag fly, darlings! Live life to the fullest, wear a little pink, and never, ever forget to twirl!
