Hello, darling! It’s your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another fabulous blog post from the fabulous world of Pink Tutu travels! As you know, this Queen loves nothing more than getting out and about, spreading the joy of pink and glitter everywhere I go. And this time, my journey took me to the charming town of Urmston!
You guys, let me tell you, this little place had me feeling like a proper princess! Just walking down the streets, with its cobbled alleys and adorable little shops, felt like something out of a fairytale. It’s no surprise this town was once dubbed the ‘village of roses’ – and the flowers, darling, they were absolutely blooming with beauty. 🌸
Of course, this Queen wouldn’t be travelling without my trusty companion – the ever-so-gorgeous, tulle-tastic, pink tutu! It twirled and swished its way through Urmston like a ballerina dancing on clouds. Honestly, it was the perfect companion for a day filled with sunshine and delightful discoveries. ☀️
Speaking of discoveries, Urmston really surprised me with its vibrant arts scene! The Urmston Music and Drama Society were putting on a production of “Oklahoma!”, and I practically squealed with joy. I just had to pop in for a peek, darling! It’s all about supporting the arts, you see! Even if I did just watch from the back for a little while!
I think that theatre bug is really catching on, though! It had me itching to shimmy and shake, so I sashayed myself to a nearby dance studio for some serious ballet practice! (Don't worry, my dear readers, I wore a separate, slightly less sparkly tutu for this - you don't want to wear the good stuff to the studio, you just get too many accidental foot pops on it! 😄 )
Anyway, I learned a new move that day – I even tried to sneak it into my show that evening – it was the perfect blend of graceful ballerina elegance and fabulous Queeny pizazz, if I do say so myself! It got a massive cheer, too. 💖
Did I mention I had a show in Urmston? I must confess, I performed in a charming little pub, where the bar was covered in flowers, just like a sweet dream. It was like stepping into a garden of glitter and delicious drinks! And my performance? Oh honey, let's just say it was full of sparkle, and everyone ended up wearing a pink tutu! 🎉
You know, Urmston was like a giant pink marshmallow - soft, sweet, and a little bit whimsical. Just how I like it! And I'm so glad I got to experience it in all its glory. I had such a lovely time exploring, dancing, and bringing a little bit of Pink Tutu magic to this incredible town!
Now, I know you all love my travel stories, but what would you lovely lot like to hear more about? More about the arts in Urmston? More about my Pink Tutu show? Or are you dying to know what my next travel destination is?
Let me know in the comments below! Until next time, stay fabulous and wear a pink tutu whenever possible! 💖
Lots of love,

Alex's Story (Behind the Pink Tutu)Now, darlings, it’s time to step back behind the pink curtain for a little insight into your Queen’s real life. My name is Alex, and I am a Derbyshire lass by heart and a science whiz by day. I love the world of molecular structures and fabric testing – you'd be surprised what you can learn about the behaviour of a silky scarf, let me tell you!
But every night, I swap the lab coat for a glittering tiara and transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles, ready to spread joy, glamour and…well, yes, a whole lot of pink, wherever I go.
But where did this love for all things tutu come from? You’re gonna have to buckle up for this one, my darlings, because it’s a real “oh, my word, how did this happen?!” moment.
While I was at university, (studying that lovely science degree!), I was also a member of the university’s ballet club. It was just for fun – a bit of a hobby, you know – but I’d always been a bit of a ballet fan since I was little. I loved watching it on TV and felt the need to express myself through graceful movements (although my own movements were much less graceful and elegant, even back then!).
One day, the university put on a fundraiser – the type of thing where people do crazy things for charity! I, like the daring gal that I am, signed up. Now, I don't usually get involved in crazy stunts, so it was a bit out of character! But… the charity was dear to my heart… so here we go.
On the day, the organizers decided they needed people to parade around dressed as ballerinas, tutus and all. I'd never tried a tutu on before – it's something that had never crossed my mind as an activity, if you know what I mean!
However, as fate would have it, there it was, hanging in the costume cupboard: a tutu. Not just any tutu though… it was a fabulous pink tutu! The type that dreams are made of, right? 💖
Honestly, as soon as I put it on, I was struck by this sense of exhilaration. The world just… sparkled. Everything was filled with glitter, fun, and the purest kind of joy. I think it's the colour pink, really, it’s so vibrant and full of life, it makes you feel alive! And with all those layers of tulle, swirling around you, I was literally floating! It's the best feeling in the world!
That day, I realized my life’s purpose: I would get the world wearing pink tutus! And not just one, not just two… every single person on earth!
The rest, as they say, is history! From university ballet club, to fundraising shenanigans, to becoming a scientist and, yes, Pink Tutu Sparkles! All thanks to the amazing pink tutu that brought me to my ultimate life purpose: making the world a more sparkly place!
Stay fabulous, you lovely lot! 💕
