Post #3199
Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, reporting live from the absolutely divine Hornchurch! Now, you all know I’m a bit obsessed with trains, right? Well, let me tell you, my journey down here was pure magic. The sun was shining, the scenery was beautiful, and I was rocking my new hot pink tutu with its sequined butterflies - stunning!
But this wasn’t just any train trip, no, my dears. This was a mission, a quest, a call to spread the pink tutu gospel! I was on my way to perform at the fabulous Hornchurch Fair, where I would grace the stage with a medley of dazzling routines, complete with twirls, flips, and oh, so much glitter. I just love performing at fairs – it’s all about community, smiles, and, of course, a whole lot of sparkle!
Now, let’s rewind a bit to the prep. The journey began with a morning spent shopping in the most gloriously chaotic way. The shopping list? A whole new wardrobe to compliment my tutu, of course! I went for a look that was classic and yet super sassy – think vibrant pink lipstick, a fluffy fuchsia feather boa, and an embroidered, silk blouse that twirled perfectly when I moved. I call it "vintage glam meets modern diva!"
And while we're on the topic of wardrobes, you just HAVE to see my latest obsession. It’s a vintage carousel horse! Now, it's not technically part of my drag wardrobe, but it fits in so well with my aesthetic, and let’s be honest – every Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure needs a little extra wow factor!
I had the grandest time preparing for Hornchurch. My fabulous flatmate, Willow (a total pro with a glue gun and feathers), helped me whip up a giant pink sparkly feather headdress, the kind that would make even the most discerning peacock blush. We had a great time crafting away with laughter and lots of bubbly.
By the time I arrived in Hornchurch, my glitter was perfectly applied, my tutu was fluffed to perfection, and my soul was glowing with the excitement of sharing my love of dance and tutus with everyone!
Now, my darlings, I have to tell you about the Fair itself. It was like a rainbow exploded! Every corner overflowed with vibrant colors, delightful smells, and the sound of joyous laughter. I wandered through stalls selling handmade crafts, delicious homemade treats, and oh, so much fluffy candy floss.
And then, there was the magic of the stage. As Pink Tutu Sparkles, I twirled, spun, and shimmered, my sequined pink tutu swirling around me. The children cheered, the parents applauded, and the sun smiled down from above. The energy was infectious, and I truly felt like I was bringing a little bit of sparkle and joy into the hearts of everyone around me!
Speaking of my stage outfits, my performance this time involved a new trick. As a scientist by day, I am often in a lab, experimenting with textiles and fabric finishes. So, you see, my scientific mind is always whirring! Recently, I've been testing out luminescent paints on tulle. Well, let me tell you, the effect on stage was simply magical. It glowed in the afternoon sunshine like a celestial unicorn had shed its shimmer on the whole place!
After the performance, I spent the rest of the afternoon basking in the warm glow of good vibes and chatting with local artists and families. It’s always so heartwarming to meet new people and spread the joy of Pink Tutu Sparkles. My real name, for those of you who haven't been following along for the full 3199 posts, is Alex, and I’m just a Derbyshire girl who’s gone mad for tutus.
By the end of the day, I was buzzing, full of energy, and absolutely exhausted. The train journey home was a blissful haze, with nothing but a beautiful sunset and my tired but happy mind for company.
So, what’s next for Pink Tutu Sparkles? More adventures, more twirls, more glitter, and of course, more opportunities to spread the gospel of the pink tutu. You might see me at a glamorous ball next week or maybe even a wild music festival. Whatever it is, I’ll be there in my shimmering tutu, bringing the joy and the sparkle, one pirouette at a time!
Stay fabulous and remember, every day is a chance to put on your tutu, twirl with confidence, and spread the joy of sparkle wherever you go!
Until next time, my darlings!
Much love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖✨
