Hello darlings! It’s your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to paint the town pink… well, actually, the town’s already pink thanks to my amazing outfit! 😉 This is blog post number 2448, and I'm bubbling with excitement about my trip to Braintree, a little town in Essex.
You see, my dear readers, life’s a bit like a ballet: full of graceful moves, dramatic twirls, and a touch of sparkle! And I wouldn’t be here, all dolled up in my pink tutu, if it wasn't for my love of the stage, the glitter, the audience, and… the thrill of travel!
Now, I usually take the train when I travel, as a good train journey allows me to settle in with my sketchbook and design my next sparkling outfit. It's a perfect opportunity to unleash my creativity. However, this time, I've opted for something a little more glamorous… a horse!
Yep, you heard that right! A good old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage! It's all thanks to the kind folk at Braintree’s Summer Fair. They've invited me to perform and wanted to make it an extra special occasion.
The carriage was simply gorgeous - all painted with pink roses and topped with a pink canopy. Imagine me, your Pink Tutu Sparkles, arriving in style with the horses snorting and the bells jingling. I was feeling like a royal princess ready for a royal ball, even with a slight sniffle in my nose! 😅
I got my glam on before the fair, choosing a vibrant hot pink tutu with fluffy pink feathers. It's the kind of outfit that just screams "Pink Tutu Sparkles is in the house!" The locals, I can tell you, were mesmerised by my flamboyant entrance. I think I even saw a few pink tutus in the audience!
Braintree was an absolute delight, full of charm and friendly faces. The fair buzzed with life – kids running about, crafts on display, music playing. And, of course, my show was a roaring success! The audience was wonderful – so much energy and laughter, even a couple of men in tutus (though maybe not pink…). It’s amazing how much joy a simple tutu can bring!
Oh, and did I mention the delicious cake stalls? The Victoria sponge was divine – just the perfect reward for all that dancing and sparkles! 😋
Now, I know you're probably wondering how I get to fund all my travel and performances. Well, the secret lies in a double life - a glamorous secret! You see, by day, I’m just plain ol' Alex, a scientist working in a laboratory testing fabrics. Fabrics! It's all about colour and texture, a bit like choosing the perfect fabric for a tutu. 😉
But by night, I'm transformed. The lights go down, the music starts, and I'm Pink Tutu Sparkles! I've become a renowned drag performer at events and festivals – a Pink Tutu Princess in her element.
Don't be fooled by my simple pink tutu! It takes years of hard work, endless hours practicing dance moves, designing costumes, and planning performances. I've poured my heart and soul into becoming Pink Tutu Sparkles, and that's why I can share so much joy and glitter with the world!
Now, let's talk tutus. You know my aim is to get everyone in a pink tutu, right? It's all about celebrating individuality and having fun with fashion. Whether you’re a ballerina, a scientist, a farmer, or even a king, there’s a pink tutu out there waiting for you.
This week, I want you to all wear a pink tutu, even if it’s just for a day! Try it! You might even surprise yourself. It could be a tutu-ing transformation. 😂

Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles (aka Alex) 💖
