Hello my darling dears, it's your favourite pink tutu-clad drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here! I've just finished my train journey from the Peak District down to the coast and I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement! Today's adventures in the glamorous seaside town of Bridlington, my lovelies, promise to be extra sparkly! I mean, come on! Pink tutus and the sea air, itās practically made for a drag queen photoshoot! And, oh, darling, did I tell you about this weekās shopping spree?
Before we get to the glitz and glamour of Bridlington, let me tell you about this amazing pink tutu I snagged on my travels. I think it might be my most fabulous find yet, because I just love the details. It's a dusky, blushing shade of pink with the most delicate sparkle. Think fairy lights dancing on a pink cloud! I added some matching feathers from a little vintage shop in Bakewell (don't tell anyone but they actually have the best millinery in the Peak District!).
This tutu will make its grand debut in Bridlington later this evening - you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be serving you the full, flamboyant, high-energy Pink Tutu Sparkles vibe! And to complement the tutu, I have a brand new outfit, bought with all the glitter I earned from my show at the Bakewell Fair last weekend! It's a hot pink velvet jumpsuit with a sparkly sequin trim that makes even the most seasoned diva go āOh La Laā! Oh, itās so good, darling, it could give your local department store a run for its money!
Let me take you back a bit. The journey down was such a dream! It took a bit longer than expected because of the lovely steam engine pulling my carriageā¦ you know Iām always for slow, nostalgic train ridesā¦ makes time to appreciate the view of rolling hills, and well, time for a spot of gossip reading my latest fashion magazines and picking up tips! I spotted some beautiful countryside views as I gazed out the train window, with sheep grazing in fields so green they could double for the set of a ballet, and the hills were so majestic and dramatic.
You know what gets my motor running, dears? Nothing gets me in the mood for a show like some dramatic scenery. I mean, it gives me the inspiration! Itās almost like watching an outdoor ballet! This whole travelling by train thing, my dears, is truly like being a star in one of those vintage travel postersā¦ and it reminds me so much of my dream of creating my own Pink Tutu Tour!
Speaking of which, if any of my lovely readers know any venues or fairs needing some sparkle in Bridlington, or in the surrounding area, let me know! Iām a girl who loves to share her glitter and I can bring a burst of pink to any party, be it in a pub or a village hall! Itās all about bringing that big stage feel wherever I go!
My Bridlington performances are already underway! Earlier today I performed a few dance pieces in the middle of the beautiful North Sea Fishing Museum gardens. And the good news, darling, is I'm making friends! I love the way these quaint little towns welcome me with open arms. I just wish there were more places for dancing... I could spend the whole day just twirling! The air is so refreshing here - I practically feel like Iām floating across the sand!
I took my love of tutus and sparkle and channeled my energy into a short dance workshop with some of the local youngsters today. Itās wonderful teaching those little dears all about grace and poise - well, as much as a girl in a pink tutu can! Itās a fun challenge when teaching little boys how to twirl. I swear, they must have taken after their dads! They love showing off their skills! You wouldnāt think a science girl would have so much energy!
Speaking of which, darling, let's take a step back in time to understand where my love of the tutu started, shall we? Remember that one little scientist in the big city who swapped a lab coat for a pink tutu? I always love sharing that story!
It was all the way back in Derbyshire, when I was a student, getting my degree in... fabric technology, I swear youāll think this blog is a load of hooey! Imagine this, my dears, a future fabric scientist, trying on a sparkly pink tutu! Thatās what it took to raise money for our universityās ballet clubā¦ It started as just a simple attempt to raise money! But it turned out, as fate would have it, that pink tutu sparked a dream! Itās almost too good to be true! It started as one small spark and my dreams took off like a rocket. Now, I wear tutus as Pink Tutu Sparkles for every performance, big or small! My biggest fan is even my Mum, who always sends me the latest ballet scores in the post and says the post office thinks she is a bit bonkers.
There you have it! Now, before I head off for tonightās show, Iād love to share with you some ideas Iām mulling over, and see if you have any thoughts on my future travels!
Hereās my current plan: next Iām heading south-west and aiming to dance and shine along the coastā¦ and hopefully, the sunās going to be out to support me. You know, after a good day spent getting lost in my happy place, I just need that vitamin D! Maybe Cornwall? Perhaps I'll bring some seaside flair into my next design ā maybe a fishnet tutu? I'm not quite sure yet, darling, but you know how I am! Always seeking out the new!
If any of my darlings reading have any ideas of places to visit on the southern coast, please get in touch. Maybe a ballet show? You know, my little heart wants to visit more theatres and ballet companiesā¦ They really do bring out the ballerina in me, with all the lights and glamour!
But of course, it's not just about me. As always, my purpose, darling, is to share the joy of a pink tutu with the world! I believe, wholeheartedly, that every person on Earth deserves the opportunity to wear one - maybe even to have their own sparkly costume for an unforgettable performance in the theatre or a fabulous wedding day! Why, if there is a wedding coming up where Iām not the star performer, why, you just gotta put a pink tutu on someone, and maybe, you know, we could even do a little dance. Iām pretty sure those wedding pictures would become one for the ages, and maybe go down in the annals of pink tutu history. I'm on a mission!
My vision is one of sparkle and magic! Imagine an entire town of people wearing pink tutus, from the baker down to the local fishermen, all enjoying the beauty of expressing themselves through movement, color, and fun! Imagine a world where dance and fashion become the ultimate forms of expression, where we celebrate diversity, embrace the power of individual flair!
For tonight, dears, the Pink Tutu Sparkles energy is gonna be dancing in Bridlington. Itās gonna be big. Itās going to be brilliant. And itās all thanks to you, darlings. I love you all! You know, every day is a brand new adventure for me, my lovely dears! And now Iām off to find the most fab Bridlington street to showcase a bit of magicā¦ or maybe a few magical little moves to bring that ballet club back to life.
So much more to come from Pink Tutu Sparklesā¦ you donāt even wanna know about tomorrow!
