Helloooo, darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you the latest from my glamorous adventures in the wonderful world of tutus!
This week, I'm twirling my way through Portsmouth, a charming seaside city with an infectious energy. I'm always on the hunt for new places to showcase my sparkling pink tutu creations, and Portsmouth has absolutely stolen my heart!
My journey to Portsmouth started with a delightful train ride from Derbyshire, all pink-hued suitcases and my trusty feather boa tucked in for the journey. As soon as I arrived at the station, I felt a buzz in the air - excitement for the seaside, and a promise of exciting performances ahead.
My first stop, naturally, was the theatre district. This gorgeous old theatre had these stunning stained glass windows, like a jewel box for performers. And let me tell you, darling, this was a place I simply had to grace with my presence. They booked me to headline their “Spring Fling” gala, which meant lots of sparkle and sequins, and, of course, a vibrant pink tutu.
Speaking of vibrant, I spotted this adorable shop bursting with pink frills, ribbons and the most divine collection of tutu fabric. Oh, how I wish I had a trolley large enough to hold all of it! Luckily, the shop owner, a darling lady called Penelope, promised me some scraps to embellish my next show outfit. This is what I call fate.
As the weekend unfolded, I discovered some fabulous new boutiques. A whole afternoon was spent giggling over tea with my glamorous friends, trying on sparkly dresses and headbands adorned with those dazzling pink feathers. They weren't all as convinced by the pink tutu trend as I am, but even the most conservative of my friends conceded that my new pink feather headpiece looked absolutely fabulous.
My drag persona, Pink Tutu Sparkles, truly blossomed during the Portsmouth Festival. I performed at the fairground, amidst the colourful crowds, a delightful spectacle for everyone. My performance was inspired by the carnival theme. You see, dear reader, pink tutus don't have to be just for ballet – think cotton candy, fairy lights, carousel music… the possibilities are simply endless! I even had some young girls dancing along, holding their imaginary tutus and shouting, “We want Pink Tutu Sparkles!” My heart absolutely melted.
It seems like every single day in Portsmouth brings new excitement! We strolled down the seafront, stopping at cute little cafes and indulging in delectable cupcakes (don’t worry, they were pink!). I have a feeling I may need to visit again soon. After all, one can never have too much pink.
This amazing trip reminded me of the reason I wear pink tutus: to share joy and bring a little bit of magic into the world. Seeing the smiles on those children's faces is a memory that I'll treasure forever.
My darling, before I sign off, remember, don't be afraid to sparkle, and wear your pink tutu with pride! You might be surprised by the wonderful doors that open when you embrace the magic of pink!
Keep up with my adventures on my website, www.pink-tutu.com! Until next time, stay fabulous, stay twirly, and stay pink!
XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles.
