Hello darlings, and welcome to another fabulously pink adventure on www.pink-tutu.com! It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, ready to spread some glitter and twirl you into a joyous state of mind.
Today, I'm writing from the delightful town of Dewsbury, which may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of 'fabulous', but I'm here to tell you that the Dewsbury locals have surprised me with their warm welcome and appreciation for all things sparkly and pink!
As a true-to-heart drag artist with a penchant for tulle, my journey to Dewsbury started, as many do, with a train ride. I simply adore train travel. It’s the perfect time to catch up on a good gossip mag, whip out my knitting (you know I always have a project on the go), and get into the mindset for a fabulous performance. It feels so elegant, so chic.
Speaking of elegant, I’m a little smitten with this latest Pink Tutu look. Imagine a bubblegum pink, full-skirted tutu, topped off with a fluffy pink boa, a heart-shaped crown, and – get this – a vintage sequined cape! It's a total showstopper! This particular look is inspired by my love of ballet. I simply can’t get enough of the graceful, expressive movement. My latest ballet class has been such a joy, learning some new choreography with the fabulous Miss Holly. The energy of the room was electric, a veritable symphony of whipped legs and flowing ribbons! And don’t even get me started on the tutus - it was an absolute delight of a class.
So, how does a science-loving, Derbyshire lad like me end up a travelling drag artist in a pink tutu? Well, it's a rather colourful story! It all started when I was a student studying fabric science at uni. The university's ballet club was putting on a charity fashion show, and – being a true performer at heart – I jumped at the chance to wear a pink tutu for the occasion! To be honest, the tutu, it had this incredible sparkle that lit up the entire room. And it sparked something in me too. A newfound sense of who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. After graduating, I landed a fab lab job – analyzing fabrics – all while dreaming of one day embracing my love of glitter, performance, and, yes, you guessed it – pink tutus.
As for this fabulous journey through Dewsbury? Let me tell you, it’s been an absolute whirlwind! I've met the kindest people, sampled delicious homemade cakes (always a good sign, isn’t it?), and found myself mesmerized by a fascinating old clock tower that just screamed, “Get me to the top for a dramatic photo shoot, darlings!”. This Dewsbury charm has made the perfect backdrop for my performance at the local town fair. This performance will, hopefully, kickstart my summer tour, bringing a sprinkle of pink and twirling joy to all corners of the UK.
My plan is simple, darlings – to wear my pink tutus with pride and get everyone to experience that infectious joy of wearing a fluffy tulle skirt. My performances are designed to bring smiles and laughter, to help everyone embrace their inner fabulousness.
You know me, always ready to answer your burning questions. So, pop them in the comment box, darlings, and be sure to follow me on Insta at @pinktutusparkles for behind-the-scenes glimpses of my sparkling life!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, it's time to indulge in a little retail therapy. There's a quaint vintage clothing store around the corner I’ve got my eye on! Maybe it holds some sparkly gems waiting for a Pink Tutu makeover…
Keep shining, and stay fabulous,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
