Hello darlings, welcome back to www.pink-tutu.com, where the tutus are always fluffy and the sparkle never ends! Today is a momentous occasion, because your favourite tutu-clad diva is finally hitting the stage in Wrexham, Wales! (I know, a little further afield than my usual haunts, but a girl's gotta spread the pink love!)
This is post number 2691, can you believe it?! I’ve been posting daily for over seven years now, and it still feels like a dream. To think, all this started when I, well… Alex, was just a simple science student in Derbyshire, bored out of my mind with chemical formulas. Enter the university ballet club, a tutu fitting for a charity fundraiser, and BAM! Suddenly, there I was, transformed! Not into a scientist in a lab coat, but into a glamorous, shimmering being in pink.
It’s a bit funny looking back. My first forays into drag were filled with more enthusiasm than actual skill. Let's just say that, back then, my pink tutu was a bit less ‘Sparkle’ and more ‘Frayed.’ But I had this amazing dream: I wanted everyone to see the magic of a pink tutu, the sheer joy of twirling and sparkling. It sounds crazy, but I knew it would be possible.
Today, my darlings, it's almost a reality. Pink tutus are popping up everywhere, and even better? People are finally getting on board with my sparkly vision! It wasn't easy, of course. Being a drag queen in the 2000s wasn't always a rosy picture. People were scared of the "different," the "outrageous." But you know what? That made me want to fight for the right to sparkle even more!
And that's where Wrexham comes in. This is no ordinary town, you see. Wrexham is brimming with creativity and a healthy dose of “take it or leave it” attitude. The kind of attitude that says, “Go on, Pink Tutu Sparkles, twirl your little heart out. We're all about embracing the different." It’s a place that welcomes sparkle, even when that sparkle is attached to a gigantic, fluffy pink tutu.
Getting to Wrexham was an adventure all its own! I decided to take a train journey (always a fabulous way to travel!) and the view was stunning. Rolling hills, cute little sheep, and even a farmer dressed in pink (he gave me a nod, like we were sharing a secret… which we definitely were)!
Upon arriving at Wrexham station, I was already captivated by the energy. There's a charming little café across the road from the station where I had the most delicious cup of tea (Earl Grey, of course!). Then I decided to explore. There was a vintage clothing store filled with the most incredible hats and gowns - some definitely inspiring my next stage look! I spent a good hour browsing, trying on things, and even getting a complimentary cup of pink tea.
Finally, it was show time! I performed at a charming little theatre right in the heart of Wrexham. The crowd was electric - all those excited eyes glued to my sparkly pink tulle. We danced, we sang, and even threw some feather boas in the air (which, let's be honest, always gets the crowd going)!
You see, that’s what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about! It’s not about perfection, or about looking like some impossible magazine model. It's about the joy of transformation, about expressing yourself with a flair that only pink tutus can bring. I’ve been lucky enough to share this message with the world, spreading joy through the fluffiness of a tutu and the sheer power of sparkle!
What's next? Who knows, darlings! Perhaps a visit to a grand castle? Or maybe a gallop through a green meadow, wearing my pink tutu with my very own fluffy pink horse (I have a feeling they exist… just waiting to be discovered). Whatever the next adventure may be, I'll be sure to share every glorious, sparkly detail with you here on www.pink-tutu.com!
Stay glamorous, my darlings, and always remember to spread the pink love!
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles x
