Ashington Adventures: Pink Tutu Sparkles Takes the Stage (Post #2300)

Hello, my darlings! It’s Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you all the latest from the glittering world of tutus, sequins, and endless sparkle! Today’s journey takes us to the enchanting town of Ashington, where I'm spreading the pink tutu gospel one sparkly twirl at a time!

As you know, I adore travel. There’s something so liberating about being on the open road, especially when it involves a picturesque train journey – the plush seats, the gentle sway of the carriages, and the rhythmic clatter of the tracks - pure magic! I find the whole experience rather relaxing and conducive to fantasising about the next pink tutu I’ll buy! I am a girl of many tastes when it comes to transport, and while trains are my favourite, there’s always a place in my heart for the majestic stride of a magnificent steed. I imagine arriving at the grand theatre in Ashington, the carriage rolling to a stop, and a cavalcade of gasps at my dramatic entrance ! Pure Hollywood!

Ashington is known for its friendly folk and thriving arts scene, and I was so excited to share my passion for performance with the community! Before setting off, I meticulously planned my outfits, making sure each look had just the right touch of sparkle and drama. There’s nothing like a bold splash of pink to really grab attention, and let's be honest, every occasion deserves a little tutu magic, wouldn’t you agree?

Speaking of pink, my suitcase was a kaleidoscope of the colour. Every shade, every hue – from pale blush to the most vibrant fuchsia – it was like walking into a pink-themed dreamscape! There were tutus for every occasion, from classic tulle to fluffy feathered numbers and sparkly bedazzled creations. Each one uniquely tailored to match the mood of my act!

Let me tell you, planning my costumes is a seriously joyful experience! I feel like a kid in a candy shop surrounded by mountains of fabric, sequins, feathers, and an array of shiny, shimmery bits. It’s truly a testament to the saying: “Life is too short to wear boring clothes!"

Ashington itself is such a charming town! You get the feel of old-world charm in its stone buildings and cobbled streets. The whole town seemed to embrace my colourful exuberance, and everyone I met was so warm and welcoming! Even the shops had a splash of colour about them, and that makes my heart sing! It seems that everywhere I travel I discover another fabulous place filled with the kind of vibrant culture that keeps me going!

Speaking of culture, Ashington has a thriving theatre scene, and that’s where I found myself this evening – ready to dazzle the audience with my performance! My heart beat with anticipation, the kind of giddy, thrill that comes before stepping out on stage! This stage, though smaller than others I’ve performed on, felt strangely familiar; I just knew it was going to be a night to remember!

The show was a whirlwind of sparkles, tutus, and a good dose of laughter. The crowd was a fabulous mix of local residents and curious tourists, all eager to enjoy the evening’s spectacle. My favourite moment was when I performed my signature piece, “Pink Tutu Passion” – the audience was on its feet, cheering with a fervor that still gives me goosebumps! And then, to top it all off, they requested an encore!

My goal, as you know, is to get everyone to wear a pink tutu. One day I envision a world awash in tulle, where every woman, man, and child dances joyously in the pinkest, most fabulous tutul you can imagine! That’s my ultimate goal!

After the show, I stayed up chatting with some of the lovely folks I'd met – sharing stories, laughter, and maybe even a little dance party! This is what I love most about being a performer, connecting with people from all walks of life, building bridges with joy and glitter!

Oh, and my fabulous friends, I'm proud to say that I convinced a few people to give tutus a go! A young girl named Lily even joined me on stage for a quick twirl, her little face alight with delight! Moments like these remind me why I do what I do, why I wear a tutu every day. It’s more than just a fashion statement; it’s about spreading joy, encouraging laughter, and creating magic in every corner of the world. I always tell people to go for it and “Live in a tutu” That is after all what makes life fun!

Ashington has definitely been added to my list of favourite towns, and it's been such a blessing to perform here! But now it's time for Pink Tutu Sparkles to pack my tutus, sequins, and my pink-hued suitcase! My journey continues tomorrow! Keep your eyes peeled for my next blog, which is sure to be filled with more glittery adventures! Until then, remember to keep twirling, stay fabulous, and never forget – you're all amazingly beautiful, even when wearing a pink tutu!

Much love, Pink Tutu Sparkles xx


Please let me know if you would like me to expand this into a series, perhaps adding a chapter or two about her days as a scientist, her life back home in Derbyshire, or perhaps even a story about the day she discovered pink tutus.
