Hello my gorgeous sparkle-loving babes! It’s your Pink Tutu Queen here, and let me tell you, the universe conspired to send me straight to the magical land of Kirkby this week! It all started with a flash of pink satin – my brand new, hand-beaded tutu arrived in the post, practically vibrating with excitement to be worn. This dazzling creation needed an equally dazzling debut, and what better stage than a charming little theatre in the heart of Kirkby?!
But before we get to the sparkles and sequins, let’s rewind the tape a bit. As you all know, life is a whirlwind of twirling, tumbling, and a dash of whimsy for your Tutu Queen. Now, imagine me, Alex the science nerd, trying on a tutu for the first time at a charity fundraiser for our university's ballet club. It felt… exhilarating! Like stepping out of my shell and into a kaleidoscopic, glitter-dusted dream!
From that day onwards, Pink Tutu Sparkles was born. I traded my lab coat for feather boas, petri dishes for sequins, and microscopic slides for feather dusters (just kidding! ...okay maybe not fully kidding). Now, my days are a fascinating cocktail of mixing chemicals, measuring fabric integrity, and then at night, performing under a spotlight, shimmering under the glow of a hundred fairy lights! It’s a rollercoaster, but one I wouldn’t trade for the world.
My journey to Kirkby began in Derbyshire, my home sweet home, on a grand, pink-hued train. We trundled past rolling green fields and charming, sleepy villages, me with my trusty makeup kit and an overflowing trunk of sparkling accessories. The sheer anticipation was making my stomach flutter! A theatre in a place called Kirkby? It sounded almost like a fairytale!
Kirkby turned out to be a bustling, vibrant little town with a thriving arts scene. The theatre was a tiny, red-brick masterpiece tucked away on a quiet street, humming with a friendly energy. I was met with excited cheers from the audience - I swear I saw someone holding a little pink tutu sign, which sent shivers down my spine. I am still feeling all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. The air was thick with anticipation and a shared love of the performing arts.
Now, the performance itself? Oh, it was divine! I’ve always loved incorporating ballet into my act. A twirl here, a graceful pirouette there - it’s all about the elegance, the grace, the pure joy of moving! And the crowd went absolutely wild! It was like being part of an exciting, shimmering dream. After my act, people were practically clawing to grab photos and selfies - even the stage crew were doing the 'Tutu Queen’ signature twirl. The stage was overflowing with so much laughter and love, it felt like a fairy tale come to life!
This weekend in Kirkby was filled with sparkling moments - I mean, a giant pink fluffy flamingo costume AND a chance to wear a brand new tutu – could things be any better?! The crowd was sensational - their love for all things tutu was infectious! We laughed, we danced, we shared in the sheer magic of performance! Every giggle, every gasp of delight, every clap of approval fueled my passion, making it feel as if Kirkby itself had become a little bit of sparkle-infused wonderland!
The experience just reaffirmed my belief - we all have a little bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles inside us. And yes, that includes you! So put on your brightest outfit, grab your best friends, and unleash that sparkle. Life is short, but tutus are eternal.
Keep your sequins polished and your feathers fabulous. Until next time my loves, I’m out!
Love,
Your Tutu Queen 💖
