Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and guess what? Your favourite, fabulous, frilled friend is off on another grand adventure! This is post number 4292 (I know, I’m a prolific blogger, but when you love pink tutus, there’s never enough to say!) and today I’m headed to the lovely, quaint little town of Urmston. You might know it from its history (it’s home to the incredible Flixton Hall, did you know?) or for its delightful pub gardens. But I’m there for a far more fashionable reason - to spread the gospel of the pink tutu!
Now, let's talk travel. I love a good train journey, the rhythmic chug of the engine and the chance to enjoy the British countryside zipping by. But for a journey this glamorous, a train simply wouldn’t do. I had to travel in style. Enter my chariot – a glorious, horse-drawn carriage! It arrived at my Derbyshire home like something out of a fairy tale, its brass buckles shining and the horses stamping their hooves impatiently. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a carriage ride, but as I settled into the plush cushions, feeling like a princess off to the ball, I realised how much I had missed the feeling of the gentle sway, the creaking of the wheels, the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves on the road. Honestly, it made the whole trip so much more fun!
Speaking of fun, I am so excited to be performing at the Urmston Festival today! There’s something magical about sharing my passion for tutus, sparkle, and joy with everyone. The Festival is always such a lively and exciting atmosphere, filled with friendly faces and music in the air. You know me, darling, I love nothing more than a bit of good old-fashioned, joyful fun. And what’s better than a colourful tutu to bring out those smiles?
I’ve been dreaming about this particular performance all week. My costume for tonight? Pink, naturally! This time it's a new design with feathers as big as a peacock’s tail and glittering, hand-sewn rhinestones. (Honestly, I can't tell you how many sequins and crystals have been stuck in my skin over the years!). I’ll be wearing a special, vintage pink ballet slipper that my darling Aunt Betty gave me – you’ll all agree it adds the perfect touch of elegance to my look!
There's a little known secret about me, darling – in my 'real' life, I'm Alex, and by day I’m a scientist, yes really! It’s a fascinating world – right now I'm working in a lab testing the strength and longevity of different fabrics (Imagine! Pink tutu fabric might even pass my lab tests, wink!). But when the sun goes down, it’s Pink Tutu Sparkles time!
How did I become obsessed with pink tutus? Well, I was studying at university, having a fabulous time with my friends and exploring everything. One day, I joined the university’s ballet club and saw the charity stall they were organising. To be honest, at that point I’d never even touched a tutu, let alone worn one. It all changed that very moment I slipped one on. Pink was the perfect choice, obviously, and suddenly something clicked, I felt fabulous and the magic just unfolded. The rest is history! Now, my love for ballet, pink, and everything sparkly is taking me across the country, bringing a sprinkle of happiness wherever I go.
Tonight, darling, I’ll be spinning, twirling, and generally captivating the whole of Urmston. I’ll be sharing some fun dance routines, teaching the audience a little twirl or two, and hopefully inspiring some little ones to start their own tutu-wearing journeys. After all, it’s never too early (or too late!) to embrace your inner sparkle, isn’t it? I always say, there’s something magical about a pink tutu. They’re like a passport to happiness, allowing us to leave all our worries behind and just revel in the sheer joy of life.
