Hello my darlings! It's your Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and today's blog post is extra special because it marks a new milestone: Post number 1594! That's right, a whole load of sparkling tutus and fabulous stories have filled the pages of www.pink-tutu.com, and I'm absolutely buzzing to keep sharing my love for all things sparkly with you lovely lot.
Today's adventure finds me whisked away to Chelmsford, Essex! I was absolutely delighted to get the call to perform at the annual Chelmsford Summer Fair. It's the perfect chance to unleash my inner fairy godmother, share a little sparkle and maybe even inspire some new tutu-wearers amongst the local crowd. 😉
Now, I know what you're thinking: how does a girl from Derbyshire find herself performing in Essex? Well, let me tell you, travelling is practically a sport for your girl Pink Tutu! A combination of the magic of trains (a special fondness for those long, scenic journeys through the countryside) and a hefty dose of sheer enthusiasm makes for the perfect blend of practicality and fabulousness!
My journey to Chelmsford wasn't just any old commute though; it was an ode to all things pink! Imagine this: the sunshine streaming through the windows as the train hurtles past rolling green hills, while I, nestled amongst a stack of my own signature pink suitcases, sip my favourite bubblegum latte and listen to my Strictly Come Dancing playlist. The dream! 🎧 🚂 💖
Speaking of dreams, have you heard about the Chelmsford Arts Centre? They have a stunning ballet school that just begs to be admired! Of course, a pink tutu-clad drag queen cannot resist a ballet-themed side trip, so I snuck off before the fair to experience the wonder of that beautiful space firsthand. Turns out, their summer ballet classes are filled with little hopeful ballerinas, just like me back in the day when I used to pirouette my way through rehearsals at the Derby Ballet Academy. Such an adorable sight, especially since I couldn't resist getting them all dressed up in little pink tutus of their own! It was sheer joy! 🌸💖🩰
But the real magic was saved for the fair itself! I mean, where else would you find a unicorn-themed tea stand nestled between a stall selling homemade fudge and a group of ukulele players belting out classic 90s pop songs? And what better accompaniment to such a whimsical setting than a shimmering, pink tutu-clad drag queen who loves to talk, sing, and share a bit of sparkle with anyone who dares to venture near? The audience loved it, and I must say, I was pretty proud of myself for the flawless performance (with an absolutely impressive, flawless costume change halfway through!🤫).
But I'm not just about the glitz and glamour! You know me too well for that. The joy I experience comes from the tiny little moments that are filled with meaning and passion. Like when a shy little girl comes up to me at the end of my set and tells me she loves my pink tutu. Or when a group of young boys start clapping along to my show, despite looking a bit perplexed about the whole pink tutu phenomenon. Or, the best of all: a moment of total connection and pure, unbridled joy that I see flicker in people's eyes as they witness the transformative power of embracing their inner sparkly self!
But that, my lovely friends, is what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about! Making a little sparkle and wonder appear in the everyday.
And what's next for this tutu-clad explorer? Well, I have my sights set on exploring a whole new world of pink, from the grand theatres of London to the charming town squares of Brighton. But more about that in the next post! For now, let me know where your own pink tutu dreams might take you! Leave me a comment and share your own adventures! ✨ 💖
