Hello my darling darlings! It's your Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with a new post! I’m writing to you from a slightly cramped but very comfy carriage on the train, making my way to Bromsgrove for a fabulous performance tonight. Get ready for a post full of sequins, smiles, and…oh, let’s just say, some seriously sparkly news!
This is my 4616th post – that’s right, 4616 glorious days of pink, sparkle, and tutus! I know it's been a bit of a whirlwind journey for me since I donned my first pink tutu, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
This time last year I was a bit down. My science lab felt like a giant beige prison, and the thought of wearing a boring old lab coat every day almost sent me over the edge! I craved color, drama, and oh yes, tutus.
You see, back in my days at uni, while studying all things science (don’t worry, I don’t plan on breaking out the science chat here!), I stumbled upon the most beautiful thing: a pink tutu! And not just any pink tutu – it was practically shimmering with an ethereal glow! And do you know what I was wearing underneath that tutu? A plain, boring white T-shirt. And yet, it felt like the best thing I'd ever worn.
From then on, my life has become a joyous rainbow of tulle and sparkles. I decided I had a mission - I was going to become the most celebrated Tutu Queen in the world. And to do that, I had to embrace my love for everything pink! Now I’ve embraced the pink, and let me tell you, it feels fantastic! You know, my mum's always said I had a penchant for the dramatic, and, to be honest, I have to agree! Who could resist the pull of a fluffy, tulle dream that says, "Look at me!" without uttering a word?
Speaking of dramatic, my love for theatre knows no bounds. I've always been a huge fan of the performing arts, from the grace of classical ballet to the energy of street dance, the excitement of musicals to the power of drama. I spend hours at the theatre, captivated by the beauty of the dancers and the magic of the stories they tell.
I guess you could say it all comes full circle - it was through university ballet club that I got my start in all of this. One day we held a charity fundraiser where everyone dressed up. And so, there I was, twirling in a pink tutu! Let's just say the other students and even the ballet instructors thought it was hilarious!
Turns out, my little experiment wasn’t just about wearing pink tutus; it was a catalyst for a life-changing decision. From the moment I slipped that first tutu onto my body, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. For the first time in my life, I felt truly like myself.
Being Pink Tutu Sparkles isn't just a performance; it’s a way of life. My days now are filled with a delightful blend of science and sequins. In the morning, I head to the lab and become "Alex" for a while, working with fabric and ensuring quality. But as soon as the sun sets, it’s back to my real self – the dazzling Pink Tutu Sparkles!
This love for performance allowed me to fund my tutu dreams! Yes, believe it or not, you can actually get paid to wear a pink tutu and perform at weddings, fairs, or even just on a street corner! Who would have thought? But now here I am – a pink-tutu-clad scientist by day, a shining, sparkling star by night!
It’s also been incredible to explore the world through the lens of Pink Tutu Sparkles! Travelling by train allows me to take in the picturesque English countryside, the charming villages, and the bustling towns with their vibrant, bustling markets. Sometimes I get to travel by horse, too. (Don’t worry, I don’t have to be in full drag when riding.) And let’s be honest – there’s nothing more exciting than seeing a bunch of excited children giggling at the sight of my tutu!
That brings us back to today. It's time to shine in Bromsgrove! I'm excited to share a taste of the Pink Tutu Sparkles magic with this lovely town. You're probably wondering: How exactly does a Tutu Queen spend her time? What’s the magic she brings to the world? How exactly does one get *everyone to wear a pink tutu? What exactly is it like in Bromsgrove?

Hold on tight, my lovelies, because I’m just getting started! I have a feeling I’m about to tell you a story you’ll never forget! Stay tuned! 💖✨
#Bromsgrove is bursting with colour today.
It’s been a lovely trip. You wouldn't believe it, but there is a whole shop in Bromsgrove called “The Pink Paradise”! Just looking through the windows alone sent shivers of joy down my spine. How do you say no to this much pink, right?! It felt like destiny – it’s just that perfect for Pink Tutu Sparkles. And, you know, with the right accessories, anything can be turned into a fabulously pink look. This store’s full of sparkly, delightful treasures to get those creative juices flowing!
You’ll probably want to know how my performance went in Bromsgrove.
First, there was this cute little girl – let's call her Sophie (with the most darling little bow on her head, mind you). Well, as soon as I started my performance she gasped. Her eyes grew as wide as saucers, and her smile was positively contagious. "I want a pink tutu," she said to her mum! "Look Mummy, like that one!"
Oh, she was talking about mine. Of course she was, how could you miss it?
Then her Mum whispered to Sophie, "But Sophie, you have one!"
"This one's special Mummy! This one sparkles," said Sophie, clapping her hands and jumping up and down! It warmed my little sparkly heart! That's why I do this - it's all about the children. Their faces, those delighted looks, their sparkling eyes and contagious joy? Oh, it fills me with pure happiness! They’re always my favorite audience. I know I inspire them to dream big, to embrace their own unique sparkle! And that's truly priceless!
This performance was in a rather lovely courtyard - they had such fantastic old buildings that were completely enchanting! There were lights twinkling across the beautiful brickwork, all kinds of different pink flowers growing everywhere! I think you could even see pink in the evening sky. It really was as if a dream had come to life!
You probably think it was difficult being on stage. Not at all, my darlings, it felt as if the stage and I had been designed for each other. The light caught my tutu perfectly, highlighting the sequins as I twirled around. I could have danced for hours! It was so exciting!
But alas, it was time to make a graceful retreat!
This trip was nothing short of magical. There were so many kind faces, smiling, applauding, and of course, loving every minute of Pink Tutu Sparkles! One chap who seemed to really get it was Mr. Jones, a retired dance instructor who kept shouting things like, "Encore, my dear! Encore!"
Oh, my darlings, it’s always the most amazing feeling to see that twinkle in someone's eye when you show them how fun it is to just let loose! But what I loved the most, more than anything in the whole world, is how my passion inspired others. My heart swells when I think of Sophie and her sparkling new vision!
My Bromsgrove adventure has sparked some serious excitement about this tutu revolution I’m creating! My ambition has no limits, and that’s how you can expect me to roll: Full throttle, full tutu, full sparkle! It’s more than just about wearing pink tutus; it’s about letting our true colours shine, embrace those things that make us stand out, and embracing the world with open arms and hearts. This tutu journey is about spreading joy, creativity, and yes, a bit of sparkle – it's a revolution in style! Join me! Let's make the world a little bit pinker, one tutu at a time.
