Blog post number 2374!
Well, darlings, it’s time for another Pink Tutu Sparkles travel diary! This time, I found myself whizzing through the English countryside, bound for the wonderful town of Hounslow. Now, I’m a big fan of a good old fashioned train journey – something about the rhythm of the rails and the scenery whizzing past makes me feel oh so alive! Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to whip out my trusty sewing kit and tinker with a little something special for my upcoming show. (Spoiler alert – I’m working on a sequined feather boa inspired by a peacocks tail! dramatic gasp).
As always, my signature pink tutu was making an appearance, paired with a vibrant fuschia blazer and a jaunty, oversized pink feather hat. The station platforms were practically a runway for my fabulous self!
It wouldn’t be a Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure without a touch of ballet, of course. I squeezed in a quick ballet class before the show, because darling, a tutu queen must always keep those dance skills sharp! (Plus, a good sweat in the studio makes me feel like a brand new me, ready to slay!)
And then it was show time! I shimmied and twirled across the stage in Hounslow, spreading the message of joy, colour and, of course, pink tutus. Let me tell you, it’s a good job I had a sturdy tutu on. It definitely kept up with my sassy footwork. My favourite part? Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children who had gathered to watch the show! Some of them were even wearing pink tutus! (Tears welled up! You know I love that!) I am so passionate about spreading the magic of tutus and a little bit of glitter to every corner of the world.
My show in Hounslow had me feeling like the queen of the castle! Afterwards, I met up with a delightful group of fellow drag queens, and let’s just say, we had a real laugh. It’s all about creating a supportive and joyful space where we can all celebrate our inner diva. They also helped me select the perfect spot for a picnic in the beautiful Hounslow Heath. We chatted for hours about the latest fashions, dance routines and the endless possibilities of sparkly pink tutus. (After all, isn’t that what life is all about?)
The day ended on a perfect high! I climbed into a vintage horse drawn carriage (that was the absolute dream, darling!) for a leisurely ride back to my accommodation. It was a romantic touch, adding another layer of magic to my trip!
I know what you’re thinking: How does Pink Tutu Sparkles manage to travel the world and wear all those fabulous tutus? Well, darling, it's all thanks to the kindness of strangers and a sprinkle of talent, I might add. You see, during the day, Pink Tutu Sparkles sheds her shimmering gown and becomes Alex, a humble (and oh-so-scientific!) fabric testing scientist. My work in the lab pays the bills for all the glitz and glamour, so that I can keep my pink tutu dream alive. I’ve never been happier than I am working on both sides of the sequins!
It’s true, a life filled with tutus, travel and sparkles might seem a little wild. But you know what? It's more than a dream, it's my way of life. It’s a reminder that anything is possible if you set your heart on it, no matter how crazy or colourful it might seem!
Oh, and if you happen to see a pink tutu in the distance, well, that’s probably just Pink Tutu Sparkles on her latest adventure.
So, what’s next for Pink Tutu Sparkles you ask? Oh, darling, the possibilities are endless! But, as always, you can follow me on my journey by visiting my daily blog at www.pink-tutu.com. Until next time, darling, keep twirling and spread that pink tutu love!
Love and sequins,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
