Oh, hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and oh my goodness, what a whirlwind week I've had! My trusty travel companion (ahem, the horse-drawn carriage - don't judge, it's so much more elegant than those boring, smoky train stations!) brought me right to the heart of Slough.
And Slough, you do sparkle! I mean, you're no La La Land, but there's a certain charm to your industrial-meets-suburbia vibes, right? It's like, a diamond in the rough, ready to be polished up by a splash of Pink Tutu Sparkle! And let me tell you, darling, this queen's got all the sparkle you could ever need!
So, why the dash to Slough, you ask? Why, for a dazzling show, of course! The community centre was buzzing with anticipation, and they were ready to be wowed. And wowed they were, my dears. Just look at this photo!

A bit of twirling here, a shimmy there, and a whole lot of sparkly pink... oh darling, it was pure magic! They were singing along to "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and snapping pictures like crazy! I'm sure the little darlings will be telling their classmates about the queen in the pink tutu for weeks!
You see, dear readers, I firmly believe that every little girl has a Pink Tutu Queen hidden within. It might be under layers of oversized t-shirts and ripped jeans, but it's there! I just know it.
Before we get back to my Slough adventure, I just have to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s been keeping up with the Pink Tutu blog! It's been a wild ride this year, and your support keeps me going. You guys know I'm all about spreading joy and a bit of pink magic wherever I go!
Speaking of joy and magic, remember the lovely lady I met at the fabric shop back in Derbyshire? She makes the most stunning handmade dresses! She says she’s going to make a beautiful dress for me in the most divine pink fabric, oh, the anticipation!
I’ve told you all about my obsession with pink tutus, haven’t I? But let's not forget the clothes! Oh, darling, clothes shopping is like a pilgrimage for me. I can lose myself for hours in a shop, carefully picking out every colour and every texture. This little fashionista doesn't just wear pink, I love it! But I love all sorts of bright and happy colours, and patterns! The colour purple makes my heart skip a beat, just like a bright red dress. I have a whole wardrobe full of rainbow delights.
My trips around the UK mean that I always try to fit in some local shopping and fashion scouting! I mean, who doesn't love a vintage fair? This time, I found some adorable vintage fascinators – and you know what, darling, I’m going to whip up a little something for my next show. My performances need to have a different style and flavour each time, otherwise the audiences will get bored.
Speaking of the audiences, remember how I mentioned Slough, you sparkle? Well, after my performance, the mayor, bless her cotton socks, presented me with a certificate for “Best Drag Show in Slough!” It's in a nice, thick, sparkly pink frame. You just know I’m going to add that to my growing collection of accolades, right next to that lovely medal from the “Queen of the Dancefloor” competition in Nottinghamshire, where I, as you may remember, wore a sequined black dress, a feathery boa and the biggest pink tutu they had ever seen!
But hold on to your tutus, dear readers, this adventure’s only just beginning. Because you know what, dear readers? My journey takes me to another beautiful town – this time it’s in Norfolk. My, my! Just imagining all those adorable shops filled with quirky trinkets. I know, it’s time to go check out some Norfolk ballet, don’t you think? I just adore ballet. And if I'm lucky, maybe I’ll spot some new pink tutus for my collection! After all, it’s not every day that you can find a stunning, perfect pink tutu for an absolutely divine bargain. I must say, it’s my favourite shopping pastime – I absolutely adore it.
My darling, I’m absolutely buzzing! The Pink Tutu Queen is heading off on a trip to Norfolk – the carriage is all prepped and ready to go! Join me, darlings, as I explore Norfolk. You won’t want to miss it! And don't forget to share your own pink tutu adventures on our fabulous Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram - let's all celebrate this life-affirming colour and unleash that inner queen!
Until next time, darlings! Keep on shining and be as fabulous as a pink tutu!
