Hello darlings! It's your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, bringing you all the latest fashion and fabulousness straight from the heart of Denton! Oh, it's so good to be back on the road again, the open road, that is! My latest journey started with a delightful train ride - all comfy seats and views of the countryside, with just enough room for my pink sparkly luggage and a few essential tutu spares!
Speaking of spares, let me tell you, packing for a Denton performance is no mean feat. There are tutus, darling! Oh, so many tutus. It's a challenge to choose just the right one, a true sartorial quandary! Do I go for the shimmering silk? A wispy feather creation? Or perhaps the showstopping tulle explosion, the kind that truly sends the crowd into a frenzy of pink-tinged applause? I had to seriously think this one through, and let's just say I had to enlist the help of the ever-so-lovely station master to make the final selection!
Denton itself was a vision in pastel hues - it felt like a ballet scene come to life! My stage entrance involved a horse-drawn carriage - very romantic! A touch theatrical, darling, and all for the love of the pink! They even adorned the horse with a tiny pink tutu, you see, so cute! The whole town seemed to embrace my mission to bring a bit of tutu magic to every corner.
Speaking of magic, the stage at the Denton Playhouse is a wonder in itself. A beautiful vintage venue, adorned with so many lights, just the right stage to set the scene for my sparkly magic. It’s no secret my ultimate goal is to get everyone wearing pink tutus. So, you better believe the entire cast – a mix of seasoned dancers and delightful beginners – donned pink tutus too!
The night started with a flash of glitter, and a sprinkle of shimmering sequined joy. The audience was mesmerized by our opening number. The pink, my darlings! The pink! You wouldn't believe the amount of blush tones I brought in this time! My fabulous assistant, a sassy pixie called Polly, told me after the show she'd lost track of the number of pink hues in my costume. There were swirls, glitters, a little bit of metallic sheen...and it truly made everyone, myself included, sparkle in that magic, rosy, girly glow!
The main show consisted of two dazzling numbers. One a traditional classical ballet piece with a distinctly Pink Tutu Sparkles twist, naturally! We were waltzing, arabesquing, pirouetting in a frenzy of pink - tutus everywhere! It's one thing to be wearing one, darling, but it's another thing entirely to perform a grand ballet with dozens of dancers, each with their own shimmering, pastel wonder. Purely breathtaking! You’ve got to experience it, darlings, to really know!
The second number, an upbeat ballet inspired by street dance, had everyone leaping out of their seats, waving their feather boas and shaking their…well… everything! My trusty, feather-boa-wielding friend from Derbyshire, Billy, a former rugby player turned ballet enthusiast, almost went airborne! Oh, Billy, he always brings so much excitement to my shows. He's been working with me for years. And let me tell you, seeing Billy spinning around in a bright pink tutu is a sight to behold!
My Denton performance wouldn’t be complete without my signature move - the Tutu Whirl! After weeks of practice, we were finally ready to give it a go. You’ll have to wait until you see my next post for details – it involves a rather extraordinary story with my new-found local, Denton friend – a gentleman by the name of Barnaby! A wonderful, funny fellow who’s passionate about helping all the elderly learn how to wear a pink tutu. Yes, truly!
Before I dash, I simply must say a huge thank you to everyone in Denton for their hospitality and to the fabulous cast, for making this performance truly spectacular!
Speaking of spectacular, my next destination – oh, I can’t tell you where I'm going yet. You'll have to wait and see, darling!
Till then, remember – wear your pink tutu with pride, and always sparkle from the inside out!
