#TutuQueen on 2010-07-14 stars in Ashington

Darlings, you won’t believe where I’ve landed! After a truly magical train journey (there’s something about the rhythm of the tracks that sets my heart aflutter), I’ve arrived in the charming town of Ashington! The air here feels electric with anticipation – the rumour mill is churning about my arrival, and my fabulous fuchsia wig just practically glows in the bright sunshine.

Yes, my darlings, Pink Tutu Sparkles is in town! I have a fantastic little gig at the local fair this weekend, and you know I couldn’t possibly miss it! Let's paint this town pink, shall we? 💖

But before we dive headfirst into the glitter-soaked excitement, I simply must tell you all about my travels.

Oh, the joys of travel! I confess, darlings, I'm rather partial to a good train ride. There’s something about the rhythmic clinking of the carriages, the endless parade of countryside scenery, and the general sense of excitement that puts me in the most fantastic mood. It’s as if the train itself is a sparkling, pink-hued carriage whisking me away to new adventures.

This particular journey was extra special. As soon as I stepped aboard, the train conductor gave me the most delightful smile and told me, “Right, Pink Tutu Sparkles, you’re headed for stardom!” Well, I could only laugh and reply, “Well, conductor darling, I hope you're right!”

As usual, my suitcase was a riot of pinks and sparkle! I even managed to squeeze in a spare tutu for any unexpected performances! (One never knows when an opportunity to bring a little pink magic might present itself).

I spotted a couple of fellow travellers staring at me with wide eyes as I took my seat, adjusting my impossibly long eyelashes. And who could blame them? A fabulous, pink-hued whirlwind of joy just sashayed on by. 💅

Ashington itself is charming, a delightful blend of historic buildings and modern bustle. As I stepped out onto the station platform, I couldn’t help but notice how bright and cheerful it all seemed. The air buzzed with the scent of freshly baked bread (oh, my sweet tooth!), and a little band played lively tunes in the square. It was as though the entire town had wrapped itself in a pink ribbon of joy, just waiting for Pink Tutu Sparkles to arrive!

Speaking of joy, I have a fantastic interview scheduled with the local newspaper! I am so thrilled to be sharing my message of pink joy and sparkly confidence with this lovely community. It’s an absolute honour to be a part of Ashington’s rich tapestry, adding a little touch of sparkle to its vibrant landscape.

But darling, enough about me. I must tell you all about the charming residents of Ashington! I have been treated like a princess since I arrived. The shopkeeper at the local tea room – what a delight – she insisted I have a cup of tea and a slice of her homemade Victoria sponge. She was practically vibrating with excitement! “Pink Tutu Sparkles! In my shop! Oh, my! This is an honour, my dear! We’ve never seen anything like it!" 🥰

I can see that Ashington has a wonderfully diverse community. From the children excitedly gawking at my wig to the elderly gentleman who offered me his seat on the bus, the people here are simply wonderful! And they are so keen to see my performance. I already know this will be a dazzling show!

You know, darlings, sometimes I find myself staring out the window of my little flat, daydreaming about my incredible journey. And then reality comes crashing in: It’s back to my everyday life.

You see, my day job – the secret life of Pink Tutu Sparkles – is a world away from the glitter and glamour of my evenings. I work in a rather ordinary lab, testing fabric and analysing data. I may not have glitter explosions on my work bench or fabulous feathered friends flitting around my lab, but I still bring my signature style to even the most mundane tasks! I’ve practically transformed my workspace with the magic of pink. It’s a vision, my dears, truly!

But then, the clock strikes 5 p.m. My workwear transforms from a crisp lab coat to a glittering masterpiece. The lab disappears, replaced by a stage bathed in pink spotlight.

Life as Alex, the scientist, might be calm and collected, but when I slip into my pink tutu and dazzling makeup, it’s like another side of me comes to life. Pink Tutu Sparkles emerges - a whirlwind of fabulousness! And I love every moment of it. 💖

My darlings, my mission is to spread joy. And what better way than through the beautiful, magical, power of pink? Every time I slip on that magnificent tutu, a surge of joy rushes through me. It’s not just about the sparkle and the feathers; it’s about the feeling of absolute self-expression, the feeling of empowerment, and the incredible energy that radiates from the heart of a true pink-tutu queen.

It’s been so much fun watching my love of pink and tutus spread across the country. It’s like a little pink wave, washing over everyone. A little girl wearing a pink tutu for a birthday party? Yes! A group of friends dressed in pink for a girls' night out? Wonderful! And every single person who dares to embrace the joy of a pink tutu? It fills my heart with the most exquisite happiness. 💖

Remember, my dears, pink is the colour of optimism, of playfulness, and of joyful self-expression!
