Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to shimmy and sparkle in the fabulous town of Hindley! My trip is a train journey this time, and don't think I haven't already started planning my outfit - a fluffy pink tutu with diamanté trims, of course!
You know, there's just something about trains that makes me feel all glittery and glamorous. I love the clickety-clack of the wheels, the gentle swaying of the carriages, and the hushed whispers of anticipation as we glide towards our destination. It feels like the whole world is getting ready for a fabulous performance, and I'm just waiting to take centre stage!
This is my fifth visit to Hindley, and I always get a lovely warm welcome. They truly appreciate a bit of Pink Tutu Sparkle in their lives, bless them. It's the perfect kind of town for a sparkly, fabulous evening, with quaint pubs and little tea rooms that just beg to be transformed with a bit of Pink Tutu magic!
Before I reveal all the sparkly details of my visit, I need to tell you about the exciting discovery I made this week. Now, I know I’m known for my love of tutus - obviously, it's in the name! But you wouldn't believe the incredible tutu shop I stumbled across in the heart of Derby! It was tucked away down a narrow cobbled street, a tiny little shop overflowing with tulle and glitter, and rows upon rows of beautiful tutus in every colour imaginable. I just had to buy myself a new one, of course. A sunshine yellow with a fluffy, tiered skirt. You can just picture it!
Speaking of sunshine, the yellow one reminds me of the beautiful summer days we had last year. I was in Nottingham, doing a set for a summer festival, and let me tell you, the energy was electric! People just couldn’t get enough of the glitter and pink! One lovely chap even bought me a bright yellow feather boa, the sort you’d see on a Broadway stage. So sparkly and flamboyant - you should see how it pairs with the yellow tutu. You can be sure to catch me in that combination soon, don't worry!
This is my fifth year performing as Pink Tutu Sparkles, and every year feels like a new adventure. From those first, nerve-wracking performances at student events to glittering on a stage at the Edinburgh Fringe, it's all been a magical journey. I just wish I could capture all that spark and magic in a jar. Imagine! A little jar of sparkle for everyone to enjoy.
Well, now I'm in a bit of a daydream, but my train is pulling into Hindley station. I must go, and get myself all glammed up for tonight's show. But don't forget, I'll be back here tomorrow, with more glitter, more sequins, and all the fabulous details from my Hindley adventures! Until then, keep shining!
Lots of Love,

P.S. I had the most delightful trip on the train here! The lady sitting opposite me started singing along to my Pink Tutu Sparkle playlist! I think we even did a little dance in our seats - in our seats, darlings! Imagine that. Oh, to have that kind of magic on every train ride.
P.P.S. Speaking of magic, have you seen those beautiful new tutus online? They're perfect for all you fabulous ladies out there! You just have to try a pink one. It really is all the magic you need!
Here's the rest of the blog post, continuing on the same themes of travelling, glitter, and inspiring everyone to wear tutus!
Ballet Bonanza: A Night of Whimsy in Hindley
I made my grand entrance into Hindley with a grand flourish! I waltzed off the train with my fluffy pink tutu and diamanté feather boa waving in the wind, much to the amusement of a very delightful crowd of children at the station. You know what? It’s magical seeing their little faces light up. They even gave me a tiny bouquet of pink carnations, so sweet. It reminds me that pink tutus aren't just for a grown-up night out - they’re a celebration of joy and whimsical sparkle, something that's as perfect for a child as it is for a glamorous queen.
As I ventured further into Hindley, it was like walking into a storybook. I was immediately drawn to this charming little bookshop with window displays that were just bursting with creativity. Every inch of it screamed 'fantasy and adventure,' which made me think that this must be the perfect place to buy that special book you know everyone will love. Maybe next time I’ll even host a little book reading event! Can you imagine me in a Pink Tutu Sparkle, reciting poetry or excerpts from a novel about magical tutus and dancing queens? Oh, I’d be so flamboyant.
Later, it was time for the evening show, held in a cozy little pub nestled amongst cobbled streets. I love the feeling of walking through a place that feels so full of history, so steeped in stories of laughter and life. It adds a certain warmth to the whole performance experience, and when I hit the stage and started singing "Don’t Stop Believin'"? Well, the energy just went off the charts!
Hindley embraced every sparkling sequin and feather! They hooted and applauded like it was the final act of the most brilliant musical you ever saw. They even requested "Let it Go" which I felt quite perfect for my whole pink tutu theme! After all, who can't relate to wanting to let your inner sparkle out and simply shine, just like the amazing people of Hindley!
As the last note of "Let it Go" faded away, and the applause finally died down, I realised how special this performance truly was. You know, sometimes it's not about the size of the stage or the grandeur of the venue, it’s about the magic you bring to the experience and the hearts you touch. And let me tell you, in Hindley, my heart touched a whole lot of people!
Riding a Unicorn, Well, Sort of!
I had an unexpected adventure this afternoon! Remember, my love for horses is well documented, it's the only way I truly like to get about. So naturally, as I’m making my way back to the station (yes, the tutu is staying on!), I spotted this gorgeous grey mare with the most majestic mane you've ever seen. I just had to have a chat!
The lovely lady who owned her, let me stroke her soft fur and even ride her around the field, all for a donation to her local horse riding charity. Now I know that's not quite riding a unicorn, but I did think about putting on my special 'unicorn' headpiece. You know, the one with a shimmering horn and flowing rainbow mane? Maybe next time! But, I was feeling a little out of character!
Speaking of magical creatures, it’s all those enchanting stories and films about unicorns that always fill me with excitement and hope. Just like those stories, the world of Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about being bold, daring to be different, and shining your light on the world! I believe, just like in those stories, that if we dare to dream, then anything is possible!
Maybe one day I'll really find myself on a unicorn. Perhaps it will be the mythical beast who carries me off on an adventure to the end of the rainbow. After all, a little sparkle and a lot of pink is just what we all need to make the world a little more magical, don’t you think?
Goodbye, Hindley! Till Next Time...
I have to head off back to my humble Derbyshire abode now! It's back to the lab for me tomorrow - you'll never believe this - but my latest project is working with bio-luminescent textiles. Imagine! Glow-in-the-dark tutus for a whole new generation of Pink Tutu Sparkle fans!
And don’t you forget my website, www.pink-tutu.com I upload my adventures there daily!
Hindley, you’ve been amazing as always, filled with sparkle and magic. Until next time, stay radiant and keep shining. And remember, everyone can be a Pink Tutu Sparkle, you just have to find the courage to let your inner light shine through!
See you on the next adventure, darlings!
