Hello, darlings! It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, back for another day of shimmering fabulousness! Today's blog post marks an exciting milestone - post number 2312! You can find all my daily antics and fashion tips on www.pink-tutu.com. 💖
I've always been a huge fan of ballet. Even in my "other life," as the fabulously understated Alex, I adore twirling, leaps, and the beauty of graceful movements. It all started back when I was a student in Derbyshire. While studying for my science degree (you wouldn't believe what I test! It's all about fabrics and textures, trust me, it's a lot more exciting than it sounds!), I joined the university ballet club. One evening, we had a charity event where they encouraged us to dress up, and I saw it...a beautiful, pink, full-skirted tutu, calling my name. From that moment, I knew I needed to find a way to bring pink tutus into my life...permanently.
Well, here we are, and that's exactly what I'm doing! From theatre productions to local fairs, even a fabulous gig at a bustling London nightclub, Pink Tutu Sparkles is bringing joy and colour wherever she goes! But today, darlings, I'm off to Bilston! This charming town has always held a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to experience it through the magical lens of pink tutus.
The journey there was quite the adventure, naturally. My chariot of choice was the glorious 11:32 from Crewe, all sparkly and sleek, taking me on a delightful jaunt across the Midlands. I decided to dress for the occasion, in a stunning crimson gown that had me turning heads the whole train ride. Oh, did I mention my signature hot pink beret and matching boots?
As we journeyed through picturesque fields and rolling hills, I couldn't help but feel the energy building. I know some people may think traveling by train is boring, but not for me! The windows offer stunning views, and it’s the perfect opportunity to relax, sip on some bubbly, and admire the amazing displays of fashion by fellow travelers.
Bilston greeted me with a warm hug. The air hummed with excitement and anticipation as I strutted through the bustling streets, my pink tulle swishing around me. I was met by the kind, lovely manager of the charming little theatre, who introduced me to the fantastically enthusiastic audience, all ready for an afternoon of giggles, glitter, and breathtaking ballet moves!
Now, let's talk about the show! My act, "A Pink Tutu Odyssey," tells the tale of a girl from Derbyshire who takes on the world with her heart, her flair, and, most importantly, her love for pink tutus! We had a special performance of “Dance with me, Billy” which is one of my favourite classic ballet songs! My dancing shoes had been twirling since breakfast, I can tell you!
But let’s not forget, it's about much more than just dance. I like to think Pink Tutu Sparkles helps to remind everyone about the beauty and magic of living life to the fullest, being fabulous, and never letting anyone tell you that your dreams are too big or too pink.
The Bilston audience was an absolute dream! Every time I hit the final pose of a move, the audience erupted in joyful applause and cheers.
After the show, it was time to hit the high street for a bit of retail therapy. Of course, no trip to Bilston would be complete without some souvenir hunting. A vintage shop with some beautifully glittery costume jewellery caught my eye. I also had to check out a little independent fabric shop, finding the most stunning, sparkly fabric in a rich lavender that will make a perfect accessory for a future show.
I’m off to another performance in Shrewsbury tomorrow, then to Sheffield. But don’t worry, my darling readers, I’ll be back to share more adventures with you all soon!
Stay sparkly and remember, always let your true colours shine through! 💖
