Hello darlings! Your favourite pink-loving, tutu-toting, drag queen extraordinaire is back, ready to whisk you off on another adventure. This week, I’m making my way to the majestic Wembley Stadium - not for football this time, but for a shimmering spectacle that promises to be bigger and more fabulous than any World Cup final!
This weekend, Pink Tutu Sparkles will be gracing the stage in a brand-new performance - a dazzling ballet fusion unlike anything you’ve ever seen before! I’ve been perfecting the routine for weeks now, practicing pirouettes until I can’t pirouette anymore! My heart is bursting with excitement, and my pink tutu, well, it's positively quivering!
Let's rewind a bit. The last time I was in Wembley, I was mesmerised by the size of it. It felt like the whole world could fit inside! I even got to take a peek behind the scenes at a real-life football match. Let’s just say I discovered that footballers are not as graceful on the dance floor as they are with a football! Thankfully, my troupe and I have no shortage of grace!
This time, the reason I’m visiting Wembley isn't just a show, but something truly special - I'm competing for the “Pink Tutu of the Year" award. This coveted award is all about showcasing the most beautiful, intricate, and awe-inspiring pink tutu designs. And let me tell you, my tutu this year is going to knock their socks off! Imagine the most vibrant, iridescent, and undeniably pink tutu you can fathom – now imagine it adorned with sparkling crystals and cascading ribbons! Yes, darlings, you guessed it, it's an explosion of pink, glitz, and pure, unadulterated fabulousness!
You might be thinking, “Pink Tutu, why do you love tutus so much?” Well, I have to admit, my obsession with tutus began with a rather simple act of charity. It started while I was still studying to be a scientist - I remember getting all decked up for a university charity event and they wanted me to try on a tutu to help boost the funds. And let me tell you, it was like magic. I knew then, in the lab coats and bubbling beakers, that I had to spread the joy of tutus to the world.
Before you imagine me as a giddy girly girl, let's rewind even further. Growing up in Derbyshire, I’d often spend weekends watching ballet shows at the local theatre with my family. They’d bring me a miniature tutu, just like the ones the ballerinas wore! But it wasn't until that day in the lab, amidst beakers and bubbling liquids, that my fascination transformed into a full-blown love affair with this glorious, frilly fashion statement!
Since then, my obsession has turned into a full-blown career! I travel all across the country, sharing the love of tutus wherever I go, making appearances at festivals, theatres, and even at weddings, and always getting requests for photo shoots! It’s been an amazing journey, filled with laughter, glamour, and an abundance of sparkle.
For me, wearing a pink tutu isn't just about the aesthetic - it’s a feeling, an energy, an expression of confidence and self-love. And as my stage persona, Pink Tutu Sparkles, I hope to inspire everyone to embrace their own uniqueness and spread the love of sparkle, whether that means wearing a tutu, getting creative with make-up, or simply embracing their individuality.
Before you think I spend all day flitting around in my pink tutu, I need to set the record straight – my life isn't just sequins and tulle! In my day job, I put on a lab coat and get back to reality. That's right! I'm a fabric analyst for a company, using my science skills to test fabrics and ensure quality standards are met! I never would have thought that my passion for fashion and science could come together like this!
By day, I might be analysing a fabric sample, but come evening, it's all about Pink Tutu Sparkles taking the stage. The thrill of performing live in front of a packed audience is exhilarating. I never know what kind of reaction I'll get – I love to see the audience erupt with joy, dancing along, and maybe even giving a heartfelt, tear-jerking ovation! It’s truly a magical experience!
To travel around the country as a drag artist, I sometimes take to the open road by train. The UK has the most beautiful countryside. The landscape zips past, like a moving film reel, every tree and meadow, so full of natural wonder. My mind drifts off to imagining each tree as a sparkly pink tutu - a lovely, peaceful dream to have whilst the train journey carries me towards another performance.
I love how my passion for tutus and my science background create this incredible contrast in my life. But one thing stays consistent - a desire to spread joy, sparkle, and self-expression through the simple act of wearing a pink tutu.
And, I just love going on those spontaneous journeys with my horse, Comet! Oh, my Comet - such a noble steed with a personality as flamboyant as mine! My horse might be all about hooves and tails, but somehow, he understands the true meaning of pink tutus! Whenever I feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the big city, we’ll head to the rolling hills, or just by the river in a little park in Derbyshire, to find a sense of peace. It's truly magical to be connected to nature, feeling the wind in your hair and the gentle swaying motion of the horse. I feel so at peace in nature and, to me, it just wouldn't be right not to include a little pink sparkle! So, yes, sometimes my horse has been known to be adorned with a pink tutu – maybe not the whole tutu, but maybe just the sparkly trim, as it can get a little tangled up in his tail! But I can’t help it; it's such fun!
Speaking of fun, we can't talk about Pink Tutu Sparkles without addressing the elephant (wearing a tutu) in the room – my mission in life. I believe everyone deserves to wear a pink tutu at least once in their life! I dream of a world filled with swirling tulle and glistening pink fabrics. And I’m not going to stop until every last one of you gets a chance to feel the sheer joy of twirling around in a magnificent pink tutu! It’s my mission! A dream to dress the world in pink tulle! To bring a bit of sparkle into even the dullest of days.
That's why I love what I do. The smiles on the faces of children at my performances, the tears of joy in the eyes of audience members, and the contagious laughter in the air – all of these things reinforce my belief in the power of pink tutus!
So, let’s paint the world with a splash of pink, shall we? Join me on my journey! Share your pink tutu stories!
