Hello my darling darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, and let me tell you, things have been positively whirlwind in the Sparkles household lately! I've been bouncing around the country, spreading joy, sparkles and the sheer wonder of the pink tutu, one performance at a time, and darling, I can't wait to tell you all about it!
This is post number 5018 on www.pink-tutu.com, and I'm still going strong! Every day I wake up feeling excited, brimming with new ideas and aching to share them all with you.
This week, my adventures took me all the way to the bustling borough of Barking, in Greater London! You know, my love for trains and a good old-fashioned train journey knows no bounds, and the journey there was a real delight. The swaying rhythm of the carriages and the whizzing past scenery – it felt like a scene out of a whimsical ballet! And don’t even get me started on the delightful smells of freshly baked goods wafting from the stations, pure perfection. It’s truly magical the way travelling by train makes even the mundane a touch more extraordinary.
Now, you see, my dear friends, I've got this thing about performances. Any venue, any fair – you name it, I'll grace it with my presence and sprinkle my brand of pink tutu magic. This time it was the Barking Market, a kaleidoscope of colour and excitement that sent my creative juices swirling like a twirling ballerina.
My costume this week, you ask? Well, let me paint a picture: A glorious explosion of magenta silk, swirling like a summer breeze, a cloud of feathery pink tulle framing my petite figure. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance – a crown of pink sparkle flowers that twinkled brighter than a thousand fireflies! It's not about mere sequins, darlings. It's about a statement! A celebration of all things bold, colourful and joyous.
Of course, the highlight of the entire weekend was my ballet performance. My dear friends, let me tell you, Barking is home to some real connoisseurs of the art form, a group of fabulous souls who truly appreciate the beauty and grace of ballet. I had the absolute privilege of showcasing a delightful sequence I had specially choreographed for the occasion, complete with a stunning pink tutu and glittery pointe shoes.
As the music swelled, I gracefully floated across the stage, every twirl and leap imbued with my signature pink tutu magic. The energy of the audience was electric – so much applause and laughter, a truly heartwarming experience!
After the show, there was a whirlwind of laughter, chat, and selfies (a good old-fashioned "sparkles selfie" is a must!), followed by a decadent, delightful tea at a charming cafe. They made the most divine Victoria sponge cake, served with clotted cream, it was almost too much, but one has to live for these moments!
Now, a little tidbit about my pink tutu obsession. Let's rewind the clock, to those good old university days, studying my science degree. It was during one of our annual charity events when I, yes me gasp, first slipped into a pink tutu. My friend dared me to join the university ballet club, and bless their little cotton socks, I ended up loving every single second of it. And yes, it’s true, I am a qualified scientist by day. That’s my life during those "non-pink tutu hours". It seems like two opposite worlds, right? But you know what? They perfectly complement each other! It's about finding that beautiful balance in life, the kind that allows you to unleash both your inner scientist and your flamboyant drag persona. Because, why not have it all?
Now, I know some of you might be wondering what brought this Derbyshire lass to Barking? Well, I’m happy to report I'm just getting started. I'm determined to take Pink Tutu Sparkles' pink tutu magic to every nook and cranny of this glorious nation! I’m so glad my passion is bringing such joy and sparking such laughter in people's lives!
My darling readers, this is only the beginning. As always, stay tuned for my next pink tutu escapade! Until then, I bid you adieu, sending all my pinkest love and glittering good wishes.
And remember, life is a grand stage, my darlings. So go on, twirl, dance, and don a pink tutu!
XOXO

P.S. Did I mention I just discovered a brand new pink tutu supplier in Barking that creates the most amazing pink tulle! They even have a few one-of-a-kind sequined pieces! I can’t wait to tell you more about them next week!
