Hello my lovely little tutu-ettes! It's your girl, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and guess what? I'm in Taunton! This charming town in Somerset has captured my heart and, of course, inspired my wardrobe.
From Derbyshire to Devon, Tutu Travels Take Flight!
This trip has been a dream! As you all know, I adore a good train journey. The click-clacking rhythm, the passing landscapes, the chance to people-watch and sketch out new tutu designs… it's truly the perfect mode of transport for a queen on the go! I had a wonderful chat with a lovely lady who'd knitted herself a bright pink scarf, her colours perfectly matching my outfit! She even offered me some of her homemade cake, and let's be honest, who can resist homemade cake, especially when it's paired with a lovely chat about tutus?!
A Fairy-Tale Entrance: Ballet and Sparkles in Taunton
Now, Taunton itself has proven to be an absolute gem. It's like stepping into a fairytale, with its quaint streets, historic architecture, and bustling market square. Of course, my first stop was the Taunton Dance Academy. Let's be honest, any time I'm in a new town, I simply must locate the local ballet school, even if it’s just to peek in the window! (Spoiler alert: I wore my fabulous, full-length tulle skirt, naturally! It just screams, “I'm a Tutu Queen!”)
Their performance this week was exquisite! We were treated to a beautiful rendition of Swan Lake. You see, I find a certain magic in those classic ballet stories, those themes of good vs. evil, transformation, and hope. They resonate deep within my own theatrical soul!
Glamorous Gowns & a Tutu Queen’s Shopping Spree
Afterwards, I indulged in a little shopping spree. This little town has a lovely selection of independent boutiques with gorgeous garments for the fashionable diva in all of us! I found a stunning lilac silk scarf and a pair of glittery heels (perfectly matching my Tutu-tastic dress, naturally!). They're now going to star in my next drag performance!
You see, this isn't just about the outfits – it's about the confidence they give you! That's why my mission is to get everyone, every single person, wearing a pink tutu. Because everyone, deep down, is a princess or a prince, waiting for that magical touch to bring out their true sparkle!
Tutus and Teacups: The True Meaning of "Sparkles"
After all that excitement, I took a well-deserved rest, relaxing in the charming Tudor Tea Rooms. They were charming, I tell you! All white tablecloth, dainty cakes, and lovely china cups. And you know what else? Their logo features a tutu, right on a teacup! Isn't that the cutest? I’m seriously considering incorporating the whole "tea & tutus" theme into a new act for next week!
I just have to say that Taunton really lives up to its reputation for hospitality. The locals are so friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy a little bit of glitter in their lives. I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped off the train, and I left feeling refreshed and recharged with inspiration for my next tutu adventure.

P.S. I'm so excited about this week's performance. This time, I’m going to do a whole routine using different kinds of fabrics! As you know, my day job in a textile lab means I can always find new ways to incorporate textures into my look. This week's performance? Prepare yourself for a shimmery, satiny spectacle you won’t forget. Be there, or be square (or, well, be without a pink tutu!)
