Oh darling, can you believe it? Your favourite pink tutu-clad queen is in Milan, the fashion capital of the world! I landed just this morning, feeling a bit frazzled after a whirlwind journey from Derby (the train journey, whilst utterly delightful, felt like one long, pink, tulle-covered dream).
But darling, as I sashayed through the city centre, I realised: Milan is EVERYTHING. It's sleek, stylish, and somehow exudes a certain chic, all while whispering "pink tutu" to my very core. It's like every boutique in Milan knows me personally, with those exquisite windows full of silk dresses and sequined jackets. My head was spinning with outfit ideas!
This trip was all thanks to my incredible drag performances – that’s how I make my magic happen, travelling to places I love, spreading glitter, and inspiring others to wear pink tutus! I took to the stage last night in this adorable, bustling market square. Can you believe they were actually serving spaghetti in giant parmesan cheese wheels? Talk about a dream experience. But darling, I think my performances might have actually been better. My “Ballet and Burlesque” routine in a sparkling pink tutu (it shimmered, let me tell you!) brought the entire square to their feet! The Italians just love their tutus – who knew?
My love for pink tutus, you see, it's truly my driving force. It all began at University – can you imagine, a science student?! My mind was boggled by protons and neutrons, but my heart was captivated by tutus! The ballet club needed help raising funds for their annual performance, and naturally, I offered to help (and naturally, I had to try on a tutu). It was destiny. The moment I saw myself, a shimmering vision in that tulle, I knew this was my true calling. By day, I’m in the lab, surrounded by beakers and swirling concoctions – a true scientist! But come nightfall, I slip into my tutu and transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles, bringing joy and wonder wherever I go!
And, speaking of joy, this trip to Milan has been absolute bliss. Yesterday, I went on a grand shopping spree. Oh darling, I haven’t seen such fabulous clothing boutiques! I walked into a shop, you see, and instantly, I felt my heart beat faster, a familiar pink tingle running through my veins. You know how it is, darlings: finding the perfect pink sequin shirt, with a subtle sheen that shimmers even under the most dreadful of fluorescent lighting. It's like discovering buried treasure, a beautiful piece that makes your inner fashion queen soar!
After my shopping escapades, I took a much-needed break in a beautiful, elegant park. My oh my, you can really feel the history here! As I nibbled on a delicious ice cream, I simply let the sounds and scents of Milan engulf me. The sunlight, the cobblestone paths, the laughter – it was truly breathtaking!
Tonight, I'm attending the most delightful ballet performance at the La Scala theatre! (Can you believe I’ve already learned a few phrases in Italian? “Buongiorno!” and “Grazie mille!” – sounds so fancy, don't you think?) Imagine: graceful dancers in swirling tulle skirts, exquisite music, and oh-so-romantic atmosphere.
And after all that excitement, my lovelies, you know what's next: a relaxing soak in the bath, a glass of sparkling prosecco (pink, of course!) and my favourite pink fluffy slippers.
And what does Pink Tutu Sparkles dream about at night? Only this: to get the world wearing pink tutus! Imagine the joy! Everyone, everywhere, adorned with a fabulous piece of tulle. It would be a pink tutu paradise!
Until then, darlings, follow me on my journey. Keep checking in on pink-tutu.com – you never know where I might be headed next.
Ciao, bella!
Lots of love and sparkle,

Pink Tutus in the City
My darlings, Milan continues to amaze me! It’s so sophisticated and stylish here. I spent the whole morning browsing designer boutiques. Honestly, they have clothes I never even knew existed! One of the boutiques had the most incredible pink, glittery shoes. Talk about a dream come true. Imagine twirling in a ballroom wearing them - just perfect for a queen like myself!
But let me tell you, even amongst all the luxury, I was still searching for the perfect pink tutu. I've scoured all the dance shops, hoping to find that special piece of tulle to complete my collection. Nothing so far!
It's no surprise - my tutu collection is HUGE! But it's still growing... a true collector's paradise. From frothy, soft pastel pinks to bright, shimmering electric pink – every mood, every occasion has a perfect pink tutu waiting for me. I can't imagine my life without them!
My favourite discovery so far was a hidden ballet school tucked away down a cobbled street. The scent of leather and beeswax filled the air. It was magical. I walked in and instantly felt transported back to childhood. My dear grandmother took me to ballet lessons every week – it was such a joyful part of my life! I haven't taken a ballet class in ages. Imagine the grace, the beauty, and the feeling of twirling on point shoes, feeling so light and carefree. I think I'll enrol myself – I can't imagine a more delightful way to embrace the beauty of this city.
The rest of my day, darling, has been full of wonder and discovery! After my little ballet interlude, I stumbled upon this delightful, cobbled lane. I'm talking little boutiques filled with hand-stitched handbags and brightly-coloured pottery. The owner, this darling old lady, insisted I try on this glorious floral print dress - "perfect for a pink tutu," she declared with a wink! I walked back to the hotel feeling full of glee. There’s nothing like a little retail therapy in a foreign country!
My darlings, this evening will be a special one – it’s the grand finale to the Milan Fashion Week! A whole night of amazing performances, incredible designs, and oh, those runway walks. This will be a feast for the eyes, my loves!
You just know there will be plenty of pink. Perhaps even a pink tutu. Don't be surprised if a flash of pink tutu flashes onto the catwalk tonight. After all, the pink tutu movement is everywhere - just ask Paris, London, and New York!
Tune in tomorrow, darling, for the latest from Milan. You won't want to miss it!
Lots of love and sparkle,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (Alex)

Pink Tutu Flash!
You wouldn’t BELIEVE what happened last night at Milan Fashion Week. Can you imagine: my oh my, pink tutus actually made their way onto the catwalk! The designers have certainly taken a hint! This whole “Pink Tutu Revolution”, darling, it’s happening. It’s taking over the fashion world by storm!
Oh, the colours, the designs – a fashion explosion of colours, textures and shapes! This one designer, darling, a name I’m trying to remember (starts with a ‘V’… perhaps Visconti?) had the most dazzling collection. They used a stunning blend of golds, blues, and pinks – and just when I thought they couldn't top themselves, the final model emerged. I saw the pink tulle from a distance, and my heart jumped. This was it, darlings: a bright pink, full-length tutu! The crowd gasped. I screamed. It was truly a moment!
I know some of you love those fashion shows. The fabulous looks, the striking personalities, and oh darling, I just loved it! My little pink heart couldn't get enough!
The crowd roared – it was pure joy! Then, darling, get this: the designer came out with their whole team and … bowed to me. I nearly fainted. And guess what, honey? He then came up to me with this gorgeous, embroidered pink bag – just for me! He said he loved my blog and everything I stand for! Such a lovely man.
It truly made my Milan Fashion Week, darlings.
To make it even better, I met another darling who’s on a pink tutu adventure too! She has a shop right off the Piazza Duomo, and she makes the most wonderful tutus, crafted with beautiful beads and lace. I can’t wait to get back and buy some from her - they're perfect for my pink tutu collection.
My dear lovelies, today's a travel day, back to dear old Derbyshire. This time, though, I’m trying something completely different. Instead of taking the train, I'm taking a horse carriage – straight to my own front door!
But darling, I promise you, my pink tutu adventure will continue! I’ll have tales from Derbyshire – think horse riding, country walks, and a special pink tutu performance.
Ciao, bella, and stay sparkling!
Lots of love and sparkle,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (Alex)
