Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu princess, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, bringing you all the latest glitz and glam from the world of tutus, tiaras, and…well, more tutus! You know how much I adore my tutu wardrobe, right? And, how obsessed I am with getting everyone into a pink one!
This time, I’ve travelled to Luton, the home of the Hatters (though I’m more of a tutu-wearing, sequin-loving, tiara-loving, queen of sparkle kind of gal), in the county of Bedfordshire (which I’ve heard is lovely, but I’m so distracted by all the pretty places to perform in that I don't have much time to explore…but that's ok, that’s just part of my life in a tutu! It's all part of my quest to bring a touch of sparkle and whimsy to every corner of the globe!).
Anyway, darling, this trip started with a little train journey (who says queens have to travel in style? I can be just as glamorous in my own personal carriage...though I do enjoy a comfy seat and a window view). And, wouldn't you know it, there was this amazing vintage-style bus in Luton, it had all this beautiful art painted all over it, which I’m planning on finding a little photo op with later… maybe a shot with it in the background and me in full sparkling Pink Tutu Sparkles mode?
Of course, as always, my ultimate travel inspiration, after tutus, comes from the dance itself! The beauty of a delicate pas de deux, the grace of a grand jeté, the exhilaration of an allegro sequence – these are the things that inspire me to get up, get glittery, and make my own special brand of magic. My journey into the world of tutus and glitter began a few years back when I was a fresh-faced (though still sparkly) science student, living my best lab-coat life in Derbyshire. Little did I know I'd be a glitter-clad queen on a quest to convert everyone to pink tutus!
Now, don't think for a second that being a drag queen is all fun and sparkles (though there's certainly a whole lot of that!), it's also hard work. We spend hours perfecting our makeup, costumes, and routines, but the magic happens on stage! My first proper experience with a tutu came when my uni ballet club had a charity event where I ended up wearing one for a bit of fun… Let's just say I was immediately smitten! That pink tutu literally changed my life and here I am, a decade later, wearing a different one every day and taking on the world. My day job as a fabric scientist definitely gives me the ultimate inspiration when it comes to selecting and styling all my fabulous frocks. There's no greater thrill than creating my own stunning, couture costumes that both accentuate the natural beauty of my physique, while radiating an incredible dose of feminine elegance.
Back in Luton, darling, I’m in for a weekend packed with gigs, photoshoots, a charity ball where I'm performing and, of course, some quality shopping for more gorgeous tutus, you can never have too many tutus, and there’s this wonderful ballet studio that's put on a show - you’ll hear more about that in my next post! There's also a possibility I'll try to slip into a dance class if there's time... and maybe even grab some gorgeous pink tutu-themed cocktails? I've heard this cocktail bar serves them! It's amazing how travel can truly inspire creativity.
But more on all that in later posts, lovelies. For now, enjoy this peek into my little corner of the glittery world! And remember, never be afraid to express your inner sparkle - wear a pink tutu and join me on this fabulous adventure!
Until next time, stay sparkling!
