Oh darlings! It’s your favourite pink-tutu-clad gal, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from the charming town of Cramlington in Northumberland. Now, you might be thinking, "Cramlington, what’s that got to do with a dazzling diva like me?" Well, darlings, a drag queen’s got to embrace the adventure, and I've got a story to tell that's bursting with glitter and... well, not really a whole lot of glitter yet. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we?
As you know, I’ve got this thing for travel. Whether it's a luxurious train journey or a whirlwind ride on horseback, I absolutely love discovering new corners of the world. This trip was a bit different though. I snagged a performance at the local market in Cramlington - I mean, who wouldn’t want a little sparkle at the farmers' market, right? It felt so much like a little slice of my Derbyshire childhood, even if the cobbled streets and local butchers are a bit farther away than my beloved Bakewell!
My journey to Cramlington started with a bit of a twist. This time, I decided to travel in style! Forget those cramped little carriages. I had a most delightful experience with a family of horses pulling me in their gorgeous wagon, complete with velvet curtains and fluffy cushions. Talk about royal treatment! I was practically a princess. It took a bit longer to get there, sure, but wouldn’t you rather feel the wind in your hair and the rumble of hooves beneath you? Plus, you get the best views! Imagine rolling countryside hills and sheep as your chariot takes you through it all.
Cramlington itself felt like a whole other world! It was like stepping into a film about the good old days with its quaint, little shops and charming cafes. I even popped into a bakery, and let me tell you, the smells were heavenly! It’s no wonder I went a little wild in there, I mean, can you imagine resisting a pink cake with a sugar-crystal frosting? (Not to worry, I saved room for dinner!)
But speaking of Cramlington, let's talk about my grand performance, shall we? As always, I arrived on scene like a glittering firework! You've seen my iconic pink tutu, of course, but this time I wanted to do something different. Imagine a tutu…but one that also has feathers, sparkles, and even some glittery butterflies (it’s so North East). And because this wasn't just a dance, I brought along my best "lip-sync to the beat of the universe" energy and performed right on that open-air stage. It was a smash, darlings! They couldn’t get enough of me, laughing, clapping, and screaming. There was one adorable young lad dressed up as a mini superhero that was absolutely entranced. It’s moments like that that really get to me, you know? Seeing those happy faces, reminding me that my life's purpose is indeed getting everyone to wear a pink tutu!
I don’t want to forget about my dear Alex, though! He wasn’t too bad at this performance. Honestly, it's like he has a sixth sense when it comes to matching the lighting. The whole act of creating Pink Tutu Sparkles is a bit of a secret spell between me and Alex. And yes, darlings, he had a lovely time at the market, even bought a few fresh potatoes (he said they're perfect for mashed potatoes!)
But now it's time for me to take off! Next stop…well, you’ll have to wait until my next blog post to see! But let’s just say I'm sure my dazzling pink tutu will be ready for whatever adventures await. Until then, darlings, remember: every day can be a reason to celebrate life in a pink tutu! Keep your sparkles shining, and may your steps always be light and your smiles wide!
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖 www.pink-tutu.com
