Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing drag queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from the vibrant city of Denton! I'm on a mission to bring a little bit of pink sparkle to every corner of the UK, and today, my sparkly shoes are hitting the pavement in this bustling Northern town!
As always, my travel companions are my trusty suitcase overflowing with glitter and feather boas, my collection of tulle-licious tutus, and a dash of pink lipstick for good measure. This time, though, I'm going for a bit of a rustic vibe. Why? Because Denton's got that quaint charm, and my latest transportation adventure is a charming, handsome mare named Daisy, borrowed from a local stables. This little steed is carrying me through the rolling hills, a perfect scene for my latest blog post. Isn't she lovely? She has a fabulous mane of strawberry blonde and her hooves are a striking shade of grey!
I’m taking this journey with a heart full of glee and an agenda packed with exciting stops. My itinerary's a whirlwind of tulle-tacious fun – starting with a delightful afternoon at the Denton Ballet School! They're celebrating their 25th anniversary with a spectacular showcase of their brightest talents. I'm thrilled to be invited – ballet is, of course, my absolute favourite. A true love affair I’ve cherished since I first put on a tutu – well, back in those innocent university days, studying science in Derbyshire (you'd think I'd be mixing chemicals, not sequins, but sometimes life takes surprising turns!). It was the university ballet club's charity fundraiser that first set me on my journey to the fabulous world of drag! My first ever foray into the glittering world of tutus was at that very event - I helped them make an array of glittery tutus to be sold at their stall – a friend put one on me, it fit like a dream, and I felt truly alive. I was Pink Tutu Sparkles before I even knew it.
Tonight, I'll be strutting my stuff at the grand "Summer Fiesta" down by the market square. This beautiful old market is a jewel of a town square, brimming with charm and cobbled streets - the perfect setting for a pink tutu, wouldn't you say? But my favourite thing about it is that I am just an hour away from a beautiful national park, so I've had a delightful picnic by the river with Daisy this afternoon, I just couldn’t resist, and the colours there were sublime. And there's a rumour of a fantastic pie shop around here that makes a spectacular lemon meringue - my weakness!
The town's abuzz with preparations for a fantastic family friendly theatre production called "The Magical Fairy Tale" - with local school children involved in every aspect. I must say, I can’t wait to take a peak! The local children’s school, “Denton School for Excellence" has an amazing program where their little ones are introduced to ballet, drama, music, and everything else artistic - isn’t that brilliant? We have to introduce them to the joys of creativity at a young age - if we start early then their potential is limitless, right?
Denton's spirit is infectious! This is truly a town brimming with life, with a passion for arts and a touch of elegance. I can already feel it, my dear readers – this town's going to get a healthy dose of pink-tutu magic! This charming market square, where the old meets the new, is perfect for me to take centre stage, dazzle and inspire! I hope I can show you how fabulous this town can be, through the lens of a pink tutu – as only Pink Tutu Sparkles can.
