Ooh darling, it's Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your resident pink-loving, tutu-obsessed, travelling diva! And guess what? I'm back from my fabulous trip to Hammersmith, a magical town that embraced me like a big, sparkly hug. But first, let's get you up to speed with my journey there!
I knew Hammersmith would be my kind of place the moment I saw the "Welcome to Hammersmith" sign - all sparkling and adorned with pretty flowers. I just knew I had to be there. Now, as some of you may know, I prefer to travel like a true queen - either by train or on horseback. Of course, a sleek, luxurious train journey would be more practical, so that's what I opted for! I hopped on the glorious carriages of the "Silver Swan" Express and it was pure magic.
My train was a perfect backdrop for a little photoshoot! With a splash of my favourite blush-pink lipstick and a quick flick of the eyelashes, I felt ready for a fabulous journey. I even found some time to whip up my special blend of "Tutu Sparkle Tea" to sip on. Don't worry, I won't spill the secrets, it's a recipe passed down from generations of dazzling pink tutus!
Speaking of secrets, I have to share the most enchanting sight - the scenery whizzing by as the train zoomed through the countryside. My word, darling, the world is just so beautiful! And with every passing field, I imagined all the amazing pink tutus that could be hiding beneath those blossoming wildflowers.
But let's get back to Hammersmith, my dears. Upon arrival, I knew it would be the most enchanting time. I had booked my performance in a little theater with the grandest name, the "Theatrum Mundi," literally translated to "Theater of the World." Talk about a magical name, wouldn't you say? I had been given an amazing opportunity to share my pink tutu sparkle with the lovely locals there. And let me tell you, they loved it!
For my Hammersmith debut, I wanted to embrace the vibrant energy of this unique place. I designed my act around a whimsical fairy tale, "The Princess and the Pink Tutu." The princess (yours truly, in all my fabulous glory) gets swept off her feet by a charming Prince who helps her discover the magical power of her pink tutu. It was full of sparkles, music, dancing, and, of course, the most exquisite, twirling pink tutus. You know me, darlings, I wouldn't disappoint!
Of course, the real highlight of my trip was the reception I got from the Hammersmith folks! I was surrounded by such loving, supportive, and oh-so-fabulous people. It’s truly remarkable how people embrace a pink tutu wearing queen, isn’t it? The entire experience was so heart-warming.
After the performance, I joined the most wonderful people for a grand feast! Imagine a spread of scrumptious treats, savory snacks, and even a giant pink frosting cupcake with a mini pink tutu on top (yes, I did cry a little bit!) It was simply perfect, darling! And wouldn’t you know, the conversation was just as delightful as the food! They wanted to know all about my pink tutu journey, my travels, and how I became hooked on those wonderful fluffy creations. You know, the usual!
For you new readers, I guess I should share how I became a queen of pink tutus! It’s a funny tale. It all started when I was a student studying… well… you wouldn't believe it… science! chuckles
But as a side gig, I was a member of the University Ballet Club. They had a charity fundraising event and… well, darling, it's hard to resist a good tutu! I ended up wearing one of the most beautiful pink tutus, dancing and performing a ballet number. You see, I had already had this thing for the colour pink from a very young age, my mother was always buying me pink dresses. But this tutu! It just lit up my soul and I’ve been hooked ever since. By day I’m a scientist testing fabrics and by night… does dramatic finger snap I become Pink Tutu Sparkles!
Speaking of fabrics, after that ballet club charity gig, I took my pink tutu on tour to different parts of Derbyshire. Yes, you heard right! Derbyshire, where the sky is vast, and the fields are full of fluffy sheep, perfect for practicing my twirls! And yes, I have used a horse-drawn cart for some of my travels in Derbyshire, but I was in a full-body, pink sparkly outfit for the shoot so that doesn’t count!
You can follow all my fabulous journey on my Instagram @PinkTutuSparkle. Every photo I post, even the ones in the lab with my pink tutu under my lab coat, reminds me why I do what I do, which is make the world a little bit more pink and twirly!
Speaking of my Instagram feed, I have to share a little secret, darlings! You can't even imagine how many emails and DMs I get every day, full of you sweet, sparkly supporters encouraging me to keep on dancing and shining my pink tutu glow on the world. It honestly makes my heart melt.
You are the reason, darling, that I do what I do, the reason why I set off to spread a little pink sparkle across the world. With every town, every city, every heart I touch with a pink tutu and a warm smile, I believe I am getting closer to achieving my lifelong dream, which is to get the whole world wearing pink tutus, so everyone can experience the magic of feeling sparkly and magnificent!
Until next time, stay sparkly and beautiful!
