Oh darlings! Can you believe it? This is my 5,039th blog post, and guess what? Pink Tutu Sparkles is finally in Andover! I mean, it feels like itās been a lifetime since I last wore a tutu on stage in a charming market town ā which for this little diva, is a definite win! I absolutely adore getting out of London for a bit and experiencing the gorgeous countryside. Itās like stepping into a whimsical picture book!
And speaking of picture books, can you imagine? I'm not even sure the locals of Andover knew what hit them when I waltzed onto the stage at the [Insert Name of Venue/Fair]. Oh, the looks on their faces were priceless! I was like a tiny pink-hued hurricane, twirling and dancing to my heart's content, in my custom-designed fuchsia and lavender tulle confection, a real testament to the power of pink. But don't worry, sweeties, the audience was just as fabulous! By the time I finished my "Pink Paradise" performance (don't worry, you'll see pictures soon, and if you haven't yet, you'll soon find out that I always post backstage sneak peeks, oh honey, this is what being a Queen is all about), the whole place was bursting with cheers! They even shouted āmore pink!ā and I thought I might just burst with glee. You see, folks, Pink Tutu Sparkles truly lives for these moments, these fleeting glimpses of joy and pure unadulterated fashion love!
Before I forget, I do have to say how delightful the journey to Andover was. A real āwhimsical countryside journeyā for you, if you will. My travel style, darlings? A delightful mix of rustic elegance and fabulous flash! You see, sometimes I prefer a good train journey - it allows me to observe the passing landscape with a delicious cocktail of a sophisticated orange juice and vodka. [Wink wink] *But darling, the real showstopper was when I rode in on the back of a *stunningly handsome Clydesdale! Now, we're talking a real "Pink Tutu Sparklesā entrance! You see, this diva has a flair for the dramatic! (And horses!). Think āgentle giantā meeting āpink twirling fashionistaā. Just picture it! Oh, and I made a little "friend" along the way; his name is Bartholomew - a rather fabulous (pink!) pig! We had quite the picnic with a few grapes and a bottle of champagne. (We made sure to have the grapes first - you have to treat Bartholomew with respect!) Bartholomew told me the best little places to go for a hot afternoon scone in Andover, (you see, I do love a good afternoon tea!) and let me tell you, this little town has some delicious secrets tucked away.
Speaking of āsecrets,ā did you know, darlings, that I actually stumbled upon a little ballet studio tucked away in the corner of the main square! It was practically hidden by climbing rose bushes - an absolutely picture-perfect little spot! (Do you think I might be getting some design inspiration for my next Tutu creation?). You see, I love my ballet. Even when I'm out on the road, I make it a priority to visit as many ballet schools and watch as many performances as possible. It inspires my soul and ignites my imagination! I truly believe that ballet has an inherent element of fabulousness and wonder that I try to incorporate into every Pink Tutu Sparkles performance! (It also happens to be fantastic exercise! Donāt think I canāt keep up with the big boys at the bar).
Oh, and as we are talking fashion (and can we please be talking fashion?) donāt forget about my delightful boutique in the Derbyshire Dales, darling! Itās practically a haven for anything and everything pink and tutu related! (Well, maybe not quite everything pinkā¦ although you could find the perfect outfit for your upcoming wedding here!) There are tutus of all styles, fabrics and sizes (did someone say, petite? You know what to do!) ā but what Iām really thrilled about right now are my latest creations. My fabulous little seamstress, Brenda, and I have created something absolutely wonderful, and I canāt wait to show it off. Think feather boa with matching tutusā¦ (or not!) Weāre really pushing boundaries in the world of pink-tutu fashion. And speaking of fashion boundaries, you will have to let me tell you about my trip to a fabulous costume store ā Oh, darling, the glitter, the sequins, the feathers! It was every fashion lover's dream come true, darling! I could have spent hours just gazing at the incredible, glittery, sequinned, feathered extravaganzas that they had there ā everything a drag queen could possibly need! And you know what? Iāve already decided I need to go backā¦
But back to Andover, darling! The sheer joy I experienced making the locals laugh and giving them a little bit of pink in their lives was truly magical! It's always such a fulfilling experience for me to travel, share my love for the extraordinary and to simply inspire others. Every time I hit the road as Pink Tutu Sparkles, it's a beautiful little dance between reality and imagination!
And now, my dears, as I write these words, my heart is fluttering with excitement and my mind is overflowing with inspiration. Where next, you might ask? Oh, I can't tell you yet. Maybe it'll be Scotland, maybe itāll be Somerset or perhaps somewhere entirely different! One thing's for sure, darlings: the world needs more pink! So spread the love, embrace the twirl, and never, ever forget, thereās a tiny pink tutu wearing goddess inside each and every one of us!
Stay Fabulous,
Pink Tutu Sparkles!
