Hello my darlings, and welcome to another exciting adventure with your favourite pink-tutu-clad queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles! Today, we're whisking you off on a magical train journey to the lovely Luton, a town that's about to experience a real pink explosion!
Oh, I'm positively buzzing! This trip has been in the works for weeks, ever since the organisers of the local "Christmas Lights Festival" got in touch with yours truly. They wanted a bit of TutuQueen magic to brighten up the festivities. Can you imagine the sheer joy of seeing a sea of children's eyes light up at the sight of a sparkly pink tutu?! It's enough to make any drag queen's heart swell with pride, let me tell you.
The Dress Rehearsal: A Pink Frenzy!
Speaking of sparkly pink tutus, I simply had to get the perfect outfit for Luton. My dear old mum (who is the absolute best at crafting sparkly tutus) sent me a magnificent pink confection adorned with tiny Christmas baubles. And wouldn't you know it, it just perfectly matches my new sparkly pink sequined boots, which I discovered at a little boutique tucked away in Nottingham. It's all about that magical synchronicity, darlings!
For this show, we're ditching the glittery face paint. I know, I know, you're all gasping in shock, right?! But it's going to be a fun family-friendly affair. We're all about making those young eyes sparkle with the wonder of colour and, of course, spreading the good word of tutu-wearing! The performance will be a blend of my favourite tunes (the most fabulous ABBA, naturally!) and a little light-hearted comedy routine about the magical world of ballet, complete with an ode to pink!
Luton's Calling: A Ballet Bonanza!
Now, Luton is a place that's dear to my heart. You see, way back in my darker (pre-pink tutu) days, I actually used to go to a ballet school just a little bit outside Luton. It's a long, funny story, but it all started when my Mum put me in ballet classes because she wanted me to have good posture and learn to walk with elegance. The thing is, darlings, I’m about as elegant as a clumsy giraffe, so let's just say my days in ballet class were less swan lake and more drunken swan! But it’s actually what got me hooked on the art of ballet.
Remember when I told you about discovering tutus when studying science in university? That, darlings, was thanks to a fundraising event in aid of the local hospice where I put on a tutu for the first time. I just knew at that moment, that tutus were made for me, not for charity.
Anyway, I so enjoyed watching a fantastic ballet show there all those years ago, with my Mum sitting beside me (don't worry, she didn't tell anyone about my unrefined ballet movements) that I feel an emotional connection with this town.
I always say, even if you think ballet is “too boring" or “too posh", give it a go! The stories are fabulous, and it really takes you on a journey - from tears to laughter and everything in between! The outfits, oh darling, they are an entire world of their own. It's truly like stepping into a beautiful dream.
So, join me, on a journey to Luton - a town where the magic of Christmas, the sparkle of pink and the wonder of ballet are all wrapped up in one exciting package! Stay tuned, darlings! There's more pink-tutu fun to be had...
