Oh darlings! Can you believe it's already June? Time is simply flying by! Today I'm writing from a beautiful little town called Newton Aycliffe in County Durham. I was whisked here on a glorious train journey, surrounded by the rolling green fields of England, sipping tea and reading a book on the history of ballet costumes (I do love to get lost in a good costume book!)
As you all know, my life is a whirlwind of pink tulle, glitter, and fabulous performances. This week has been no different. I landed a gig at a charming local festival here, and I must say, the crowd was utterly divine. They loved my newest number - "The Tutu Waltz" - it's a dance that celebrates the sheer joy of twirling in a fluffy pink tutu.
Now, I can't deny that my true passion in life is to inspire everyone to don a pink tutu, just like me! The power of a pink tutu is extraordinary. It transcends boundaries, ignites imaginations, and above all, it makes you feel utterly fabulous!
Speaking of fabulous, I have to tell you all about this stunning little boutique I found in Newton Aycliffe, just before the show. Imagine a rainbow explosion of the most exquisite fabric imaginable, silks so delicate you could practically blow them away, and sequins that glimmered like stars. And oh! The selection of feathers was just divine! I bought myself a stunning feather boa for my next performance - think shimmering magenta with hints of ruby red, just to match my new lipstick shade!
The local dance school here has also been a revelation! This little haven of pirouettes and plies was filled with the most dedicated and passionate young dancers. You could just feel the energy and joy radiating from them. They had never seen a pink tutu queen perform before, but I believe I inspired them with my message of self-expression and embracing your inner diva. I even promised to send them one of my "pink tutu how-to" leaflets – oh, darlings, you just have to try it!
After the show, I spent a few delightful hours in a little cafe near the station, sipping tea with a dear friend who also happens to be a professional ballet dancer. She, too, understands the undeniable magic of a well-constructed tutu! We discussed the new ballet season, the exciting developments in fabric technology (I can't reveal the secrets I've discovered at work, darling!), and the profound connection between tutus and liberation.
Speaking of tutus, my next stop will be a local ballet school in Scarborough. They invited me to give a workshop on the power of expressing yourself through dance. You can bet I'll be packing my collection of sparkling tutus, complete with a whole suitcase of sequins and glitter for everyone to use!
Now, darlings, let's not forget my other favourite way to travel: on horseback! It just so happens there's a gorgeous riding school near the village. It's not the most practical for transporting all my costume and makeup, but the feeling of the wind whipping through your hair while galloping through the countryside just can't be beat!
My dearest followers, I hope you're all inspired to spread the joy of the pink tutu. Embrace the pink, celebrate the twirl, and unleash your inner diva!
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkle x
