Hello my gorgeous pink tutu lovers! It’s your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from the stunning Bishop Auckland! 🩰💖
Now, I’m not usually a big fan of the train. Honestly, I much prefer the glamour of a good old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage, but with the weather being a bit on the wild side (we’re talking snow and gales, not exactly "tutu-friendly", my darlings), I opted for a scenic journey by rail. And, as fate would have it, a charming gentleman sitting across from me offered to help me with my pink tutu bag – you know, the one with all the sparkle and feathers and just the right amount of fluffy tulle to create the perfect swirling cloud of pink magic! 💖 He even had a twinkle in his eye and, bless him, didn’t even bat an eyelid at the rainbow feather boa poking out the top. He just grinned, told me to "have a fantastic show", and we were both off into our own little worlds, giggling like school children.
Honestly, I think I was meant to visit Bishop Auckland. I could practically feel the energy, the magic, just crackling in the air. 💫 And after arriving in this fabulous little town, I was whisked away by a friendly local who offered me a ride to the performance venue in her vintage Rolls Royce – seriously, the cherry-red paint and the purring engine were music to my ears. She said I looked "divine" in my pink tutu and, with a knowing wink, told me all about the town's history and its famous castle, all while gently reminding me not to spill any of my glitter on the cream leather seats!
Now, let’s talk performance, shall we? It’s what I live for. Tonight’s audience was buzzing with excitement – every single soul was ready to be transported into a world of glitter, sequins, and naturally the ultimate in pink tulle. My set was a blend of old favourites like "Tutu-licious" and "Sparkle Nation" mixed with some fresh new routines I’d been working on. My new dance "Twirling Towards Tomorrow" – an homage to the beautiful Ballet Swan Lake – was an absolute triumph! The crowd went wild with each twirl and every perfectly placed pirouette! 💖
But, the real highlight of the night wasn’t my dancing. It wasn’t even the glorious confetti storm that rained down on me at the end of the set. No, it was the genuine joy on everyone's faces. I mean, it wasn’t just the children in the audience – who were clearly enchanted, running around giggling and imitating my sparkly twirls. It was everyone! The mums, the dads, even the grandmas and grandpas in the front row. All completely swept up in the magic of Pink Tutu Sparkle's pink, shimmering world! That’s what it's all about, you see? Spreading the joy of pink tutus far and wide!
You know what, I think I’ve officially earned a "Pink Tutu Sparkle" cocktail after all that. It was, without a doubt, a night to remember. And I can’t wait for my next adventure, my lovelies! If you have any tips for places I absolutely must visit with my pink tutu in tow, please, oh please, do share!
Stay pink, my dears, and never be afraid to twirl!
XOXO

Oh, before I go, I thought I’d give you all a little insight into the life of a pink-tutu-loving drag queen, or at least how mine works!
Many of you are probably wondering how a "Pink Tutu Sparkle" is born. Well, let me tell you, my path wasn’t a perfectly choreographed ballet step! I've always been obsessed with all things colourful, sparkly, and, of course, pink. From a very young age, I'd imagine myself as a princess, twirling in the most fabulous gowns, a pink feather boa gently trailing behind me. My mother, bless her heart, always indulged my creative urges. I’m pretty sure my childhood wardrobe was more “Disney Princess" than "Average School Girl" - pink dresses, tulle skirts, all the glitter, feathers, and sparkly hair accessories I could manage to hoard!
I went to university to study science - that's right, my lovelies, I'm a bonafide scientist in the daytime! 👩🔬 It sounds strange, doesn't it? A pink-loving drag queen and a lab coat? Well, the truth is, I adore textiles. Who would've guessed that fabric analysis is super exciting! After all, where else would you find all the colours, patterns, and textures that inspire my pink tutu dreams? My favourite project so far has been analysing the shimmering fabrics used in modern-day ballet tutus. My goodness, you should see those intricate weaves! The light just dances through them. 😍
So, how did I end up being "Pink Tutu Sparkle"? Well, university has a ballet club, and I love ballet, so I joined in! They had a fundraising event for a local charity and I, the pink tutu-loving girl I am, decided to try one on for a charity event. The moment I put that pink tulle masterpiece on, I felt like a magical fairy dancing on a cloud. It was like a little voice inside my head whispered, "This is your true self, my dear". That moment was pure magic. It's no surprise I instantly knew my drag name was Pink Tutu Sparkle. ✨💖
Ever since, my life has been a blend of science by day and drag by night! I’ve spent the last couple of years crafting my signature Pink Tutu Sparkle persona - learning dance, designing costumes, writing songs, you know the usual drag shenanigans. But, there’s so much more to being a "Pink Tutu Sparkle" than meets the eye. I believe it's all about the attitude. The joy. The unapologetic, pink, sparkly energy that can truly transform any ordinary event into something spectacular! I’ve got one dream – to get the entire world wearing pink tutus and spinning their worries away. That's my goal. It's my passion. And I’m committed to sharing this love of pink tutus with every single soul who'll allow me to. 💖
So, come along, my loves, join the pink revolution, and get ready to sparkle. Let’s spread a little pink magic to the world, one tutu twirl at a time!
Love always, Pink Tutu Sparkle
