Hello my lovely Tutu Queens! 👑 It's Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite pink-tutu-wearing drag queen extraordinaire, and today's post is a real humdinger! Number 4824, folks! We're talking Bishops Stortford!
As you all know, my journey is all about spreading the love of pink tutus, one performance, one fabulous outfit, one train journey at a time. And Bishops Stortford was the perfect stop for that! Now, I have to tell you, this town has got it going on. There's something about that quaint, cobblestone-and-timbered feel that just makes you want to twirl. (And when you've got a pink tutu on, trust me, you will want to twirl!)
Now, how did I get there, you ask? Why, by train, of course! It's not every day a drag queen gets to travel in style, and my journey to Bishops Stortford was just that. There was something so liberating about watching the countryside zip by, while my tutu practically flew behind me in the wind. It was pure magic! 💖💨
Arriving in Bishops Stortford, I was met with the most delightful bustling market. Stalls overflowing with fresh produce, handmade crafts, and charmingly independent boutiques – it was a pink tutu lover's dream come true! And, of course, I couldn't resist a bit of shopping. A sparkly new hair bow here, a feather boa there, and a few strategically placed tutus for my grand finale...you get the picture!
My first performance was in a cozy little theatre nestled amongst the charming side streets. I always love these intimate gigs, where you can connect with the audience on a personal level. They were absolutely fantastic! The crowd was buzzing with energy and loved every moment of the show. And yes, there was plenty of twirling. Because, really, who doesn't love a good twirl in a pink tutu? ✨
Speaking of twirling, did you know I have a secret love affair with ballet? (Yes, this science-by-day, drag-by-night queen has got moves!) I snuck in a ballet class at the town's beautiful studio while I was in Bishops Stortford. You should have seen my pirouette! 🩰 Honestly, it felt like the room was bathed in a magical pink glow - just my kind of dance lesson.
But Bishops Stortford wasn't all glitter and glamour. (Though there was a fair amount of both.) The town's rich history fascinated me. From its medieval castle, which I imagine must have looked quite spectacular with its banners waving in the breeze (especially if those banners were pink, I can't help but think!), to the elegant Victorian houses lining the streets. There was a real sense of charm and community.
And the food! Oh, the food! I've got to say, Bishops Stortford did not disappoint on the culinary front. I discovered a delightful little café tucked away on a quiet side street where I indulged in a divine afternoon tea with a pink tutu twist. Think scones, clotted cream, jam…and pink sprinkles, of course! 🌸
Before leaving Bishops Stortford, I made sure to pop into the local library for a bit of peace and quiet to plan out my next Pink Tutu Adventure. And yes, I wore my tutu to the library. They looked a little surprised at first, but once I explained my mission, everyone was quite enthused! 📚 It's not everyday you see a drag queen in a pink tutu in a library, let me tell you!
So, my fellow Tutu Queens, Bishops Stortford was another unforgettable experience on my journey to bring pink tutus to the world. And guess what? You don't need to be a drag queen to be a Pink Tutu Queen! Just wear one, embrace your inner fabulous, and show the world that life's better when it's a bit pink and twirly. 💋

Until next time! 💖💖💖
