Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to whisk you away on another fabulous journey! Today's blog post is a particularly sparkly one because, get ready to shimmy, Birmingham is calling! It's my third time performing in this wonderful city, and let me tell you, each time it feels like a brand new adventure. I can't wait to get out there, share the joy of pink tutus, and perhaps even get a cheeky twirl on stage myself. This is post number 3356, my darlings, can you believe it?! It's been quite the whirlwind!
But before we get to the glitter and the glorious costumes, let's rewind a bit! For the lucky ones who don't already know, my name is Alex. When I'm not in full drag mode, I spend my days as a lab scientist. It might sound a bit surprising - the sequins, the glitter, and then the test tubes and beakers, eh? But you know what they say - a scientist by day, a drag queen by night. And honestly, both have their own kind of magic!
But here's where things get interesting! My journey as Pink Tutu Sparkles didn't start in a glamorous London club, oh no! It started in my university's ballet club, way back when I was a fresh-faced science student, still struggling to get my head around organic chemistry! You wouldn't believe this but my love for tutus began in the most unlikely of places - a charity event where I tried on a tutu for fun. Well, that little fun sparked something within me, a glorious awakening. And let me tell you, once you try on a tutu, there's just no going back, darling!
Since that fateful day, it's been one pink tutu-wearing, glitter-strewn, joyful journey. From performing in dingy pubs to taking the stage at elegant gala dinners, the love for my passion for the perfect pink tutu only seems to grow each day! The best part of all, though? It's the joy I see in other people's faces when they see me twirling, dancing, and spreading the love for all things sparkly. And you know what? I don't even have to be on stage! Whether I'm catching the train with a stylish, matching pink beret (because, fashion, darlings!) or exploring a new city with my trusty notebook, the comments I get, the smiles, the sparkle in people's eyes? That's pure magic. And to think, all it takes is a simple, whimsical pink tutu!
This Birmingham trip is no exception! The minute I heard the opportunity was up for grabs, my sequins started shivering with excitement. This time, I decided to spice things up. Instead of my usual mode of transport – which usually involves me hopping on a train (love those cosy compartments and scenic countryside views!), I thought, "why not try something a little more glamorous this time?". Enter my loyal steed - a beautiful grey gelding called "Pink Cloud" who, coincidentally enough, just happens to wear the same colour as my favourite tutu. Let's just say, the horse-and-cart ride into Birmingham was more than just a trip, it was a true statement of pure pink power! The locals, oh my word, they loved it! People were stopping by the side of the road, snapping pictures, beaming at my glittery, tutu-laden self, it was simply divine!
And now, dear readers, it's time for the pièce de résistance, the big reveal! The reason I'm in Birmingham, my grand mission to spread the love for pink tutus! You wouldn't believe the venue! A dazzlingly decorated ballroom, dripping with glamour. There'll be champagne, lights, and more glittery costumes than you could imagine. My act? Oh, let's just say, it's a dazzling ballet-inspired extravaganza that combines everything I adore – my tutus, the magical world of ballet, and just a dash of that Pink Tutu Sparkles pizazz! The theme this time, you ask? Well, it's called “Pink Twirltopia!”. Get ready to see a cascade of shimmering, delicate pink tutus swirling to the rhythm of some of your favourite ballet tunes. We're going to twirl, dance, and leave those in attendance sparkling with the magic of pink tutus, even if they aren't actually wearing one. It's all about spreading the message, and what better way than with some serious sparkly moves and a generous sprinkle of glitter?
This Birmingham journey isn't just a performance, my darlings, it's a statement. It's a statement that life is for celebrating, for dancing, for joy. And what better way to express that than with the power of a pink tutu? So get ready to let your inner Pink Tutu Sparkles out, and embrace the dazzling world of tutus and laughter. Let's go!
Stay tuned for the next chapter in my adventures, darlings, but until then, be bold, be fabulous, and keep those pink tutus shining! You can find me at www.pink-tutu.com or follow my latest shenanigans on my daily blog.
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles x
