Oh darling, buckle up your sequins and grab a sprinkle of glitter because Pink Tutu Sparkles is in Nuneaton! It's true! This little Derbyshire gal is living the dream and this time, it involves a train journey and a lot of pink, as usual.
This is Blog Post #3164 for yaāll, can you believe it? 3164 reasons to smile and twirl in your very own pink tutu, I tell you! Honestly, I still get butterflies every time I write this intro. It feels like a dream come true. You know, being a drag artist and all? My whole world is sparkles, pink, and oh yes, tutus!
So, letās get back to this trip, shall we? Itās 2.30 PM in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and Iāve just finished lunch in a little tearoom, just down the street from the train station. They serve the best strawberry cake and it totally matched my outfit today. Oh, you want details? Itās a shocking pink taffeta top with a giant, oversized pink bow! So much pink! My heart is absolutely aflutter! I was even tempted to do a twirl for the locals, but my best friend ā let's call her Sugar ā wisely reminded me I had to pack. I'm in a hurry! I have a gig tonight, and you know, I wouldnāt miss it for the world.
You know me, a day out, a night of performingā¦ it's a whirlwind. The life of a pink tutu wearing drag queen! It can get tiring sometimes, especially the days after an epic night at the pub (weāll just say I havenāt found my own ādance like no oneās watchingā way yet!). But honestly, when I step on stage as Pink Tutu Sparklesā¦ well, I feel more alive than I ever have.
Speaking of the stage, I'm at the lovely āThe Feathersā tonight. A proper classic pub, all red velvet and roaring fire. Itās just what I need after my travels today, some good, old-fashioned banter, a glass of fizz, and, of course, the amazing energy of a live crowd!
This gig in Nuneaton, though, has got me a little extra excited. Thereās this competition thing happening, they're calling it āThe Tutu Throwdown!ā They've been hyping it up all over the socials. It's about finding the "Pinkest Tutu" performer in the region, which is absolutely right up my street, wouldnāt you agree? Now, you all know how much I adore a good challenge.
And this challenge? Itās the perfect excuse to get extra sparkly! Just think: new hairspray, rhinestonesā¦ oh, and did I mention more tutus? You bet, there's been a little bit of Tutu-shopping in this little trip! I might just have picked up some new accessories to complete the āPink Tutu Sparkles" lookā¦ Just saying. And yes, the rumour is true, they actually sell pink tutus in shops. The future is bright. The future is pink.
You know I love sharing all of my sparkly experiences with you. And with my day jam-packed, the real fun's just about to begin.
Before I set off for my gig, though, I have to take you on a little tour, a peek behind the curtain, a little peak into my travels, my worldā¦ My fabulous life!
Remember I was talking about a whirlwind? Well, it all began this morning in my usual little Derbyshire cottage, surrounded by enough pink to put a unicorn to shame. A little bit of glam and glitter, a touch of my pink perfume... The day started early because you know I love catching that sunrise, even if it means extra coffee for me! (I am a serious caffeine enthusiast.)
Oh, you didn't think I was traveling by coach did you, darling? A big āno!ā to that. You know my motto: "If it has wheels and an engine, I'll travel on it." Well, okay, a horse carriage was an option too, you know? But letās be real ā thatās a story for another blog post.
This trip, my heart belongs to the train, a "First Class" experience with my own little seat. Perfect for finishing my outfit, my new pink scarf, oh, itās exquisite, I swear, you must see it. Of course, I had the perfect pink backpack, (naturally) to house my necessities.
As youāre all well aware, travel can beā¦ dramatic sigh. Anyway, no time to get lost in a world of travel anecdotes now. The stage awaits! Youāve seen my outfit, my bags, I can almost feel the excitement buzzing in my little pink shoes. You know, my shoes! Pink satin stilettos, theyāre a part of my āPink Tutu Sparklesā magic.
It's about 6:30 p.m. now. Iāve just said hello to the friendly, warm, bar staff. All I need is some stage lighting and a roaring crowd to complete the Pink Tutu Sparkles experience! I have a few tricks up my sleeve too, if you get me, darling, so you don't want to miss it. And if you're in the Nuneaton area, be sure to look out for a giant pink tutu floating around in the streets. It might just be me, trying to get all of Nuneaton wearing a pink tutuā¦ It's my dream! You know I think it would be a brilliant world. So many twirls, so many smilesā¦ and pink! Lots and lots of pink!
My journey will continue as I go. Itās late now. But before I leave, darling, I want you to keep this in mind:
Wear Pink.
Wear Tutu.
And, above all else, remember to Sparkle!
See you tomorrow!
Your dearest, Pink Tutu Sparkles x
