Hello my darlings! 👋 Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and it's time to unleash a new blog post, numero 1705 for those of you keeping count! ✨
I’m sitting here in my dressing room, bathed in the rosy glow of the dressing room lights, still buzzing from my absolutely fabulous performance in Catford last night. What a crowd! The energy in the air was electric! I literally felt every ounce of sparkle flowing through my pink tutu! And of course, we had a smashing time. 💃
But before I delve into the thrilling details of my show, let’s catch up! 💖
A Derbyshire Darling's Dream Come True:
For you newcomers, allow me to introduce myself - Pink Tutu Sparkles, or Alex, when I'm out of drag. I’m your everyday science geek-turned-drag superstar. My obsession with pink tutus is quite the story!
It all started with a university ballet club fundraiser, a bit of cheeky charity, and an impromptu twirl in a sparkly pink tutu. Let’s just say that moment ignited a spark, a shimmer, a full-on fabulousness! ✨ I haven’t looked back since, and, well, my lab coat’s been hanging up a bit more these days… 😉
Anyway, enough about the science bits (you’ll have to take my word for it - I’m brilliant with fabric analysis!) - let's dive into the world of glitter and tutus, shall we?
Catford Calling: A Train Trip Adventure:
Catford, you were a dream! A whimsical, magical adventure, that started right in the Derbyshire countryside. Picture it, lovelies: a balmy morning, the sun is gently rising, and the rolling hills are swathed in mist. It’s a beautiful day to be on the journey, a glorious train trip from Derby to Catford. I settled in for the adventure, suitcase packed with glitter, my signature pink tutu, and enough sparkly headbands to make a princess proud. My hair was neatly styled with my trusty hairdryer, and my makeup palette was in a shimmering, golden bag. I was ready! ✨
The train journey itself is a part of the show. Every station is an opportunity, my dear friends, an opportunity to unleash some serious #tutupower. I do have a tendency to turn the train carriages into impromptu stages for little snippets of my fabulous drag. It’s a joyous celebration, a dance party on wheels. Let’s just say the train guard was looking mighty impressed with my signature twirl by the time we got to Catford. 🚂
*A Sparkling Performance: *
My Catford venue, an old theater with elegant red velvet seats and a warm, inviting stage, had a kind of old-world charm that I couldn't resist. Before my performance, I managed to squeeze in a little ballet practice. Oh, to feel the rhythm of a graceful pirouette, the magic of jetés, and the joyous twirls that fill my heart. My backstage warm-up wasn’t just a dance session. It was a silent conversation with the divine, a communion with my soul. And honestly, my darling, a little sparkle goes a long way! ✨
I absolutely LOVE performing in new venues. The energy is always electrifying! It was standing-room-only in the theatre, with laughter, gasps, and shrieks echoing in the air. My pink tutu sparkled even more, and I gave it my all! The stage became my runway, a playground for creativity, an extension of my flamboyant soul.
I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing the audience response was. They were truly incredible. It made my heart sing, especially those moments where a child would rush up after the performance to show me their homemade pink tutu. That's when it truly hits me - what I’m doing has a purpose, my friends! My mission to spread tutu joy and sprinkle it everywhere continues. 🥰
A Dash of Inspiration:
While we are on the topic of ballet and inspiration, I can’t leave Catford without mentioning the breathtaking ballet show at the Catford Playhouse. Oh, it was magical, every graceful movement a poem, every turn a tale of unspoken emotions, every leap a symphony of light and grace! 💖 I felt my heart skipping a beat at every arabesque, I cried at the sorrowful pas de deux, I roared with laughter at the charming moments. Ballet, oh, ballet, how I adore you!
Pink Tutu Sparkles - In Case You Missed it
You can catch my next big event on www.pink-tutu.com, my online drag haven. 💻 Every day, a new adventure! But for now, I must get some shut-eye! I have a fabulous ride in a horse-drawn carriage back to my hotel in Derby this afternoon. I’ve just gotta give those lovely horses a few of my signature pink tutu twirls for good luck! 😉
Keep sparkling, keep twirling, keep shining your true self - it's your turn to strut!
Till next time, darlings!
XOXO
Pink Tutu Sparkles
