Hello darlings! Welcome back to www.pink-tutu.com, where the colour pink is always in fashion and tutus are a must-have! It's your favourite drag queen blogger, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another scintillating blog post!
Today marks a truly monumental milestone in my fabulous career, for this post is a whopping number 5183, and believe me, it's going to be one for the ages. I'm taking a little break from the dazzling world of London to visit the charming city of Aberdeen, which, as a true pink-loving princess, I’ve been dying to see! You see, Aberdeen boasts the grand His Majesty’s Theatre, a true gem of Victorian architecture, and what better reason for Pink Tutu Sparkles to pay a visit? The stars, they say, aligned for a delightful, sparkling, and undeniably pink weekend of fabulousness!
This adventure has begun with an exhilarating ride, quite literally! I opted for the classic travel method of my favourite, a lovely journey by train to the Granite City, with its handsome cityscape full of delightful Victorian gems, a stark contrast to my home in the beautiful rolling hills of Derbyshire. Don’t get me wrong, Derbyshire has its own charms, but you can’t beat a good city escape.
Speaking of rolling hills, what is a princess to do but channel her inner Equestrian Goddess? Thankfully, the charming city of Aberdeen had a riding centre right in town! Who knew, Aberdeen, you are a haven for the pink tutu princess! So, before the show, I saddled up for a magnificent gallop, all pinked-up in my own pink-hued equestrian wear, feeling the crisp air against my face, truly embodying the feeling of freedom and the spirit of the galloping filly. That's what makes travelling so brilliant - every trip throws you into a world of possibilities!
Now, you might wonder, dear readers, how does one pink-tutu-clad drag queen afford this life of luxurious travels and pink tutus? Well, let’s just say the art of performance is a lucrative one, with Pink Tutu Sparkles taking every opportunity to sprinkle her magic at all sorts of events, from the intimate fairgrounds of a local carnival to the high-society stage productions, all the while decked out in my ever-fabulous pink tutus. And let’s be honest, what other dress can convey such joy and such radiant confidence, hmm? It’s all about shining through in a splash of pink, dazzling the crowd and reminding everyone that the world needs a bit more pink!
My performance in Aberdeen is about to start, the stage is lit up with a welcoming, soft pink, and the crowd is buzzing. Oh, it feels divine, the electricity of the anticipation is buzzing, a joyous cocktail of anticipation and sparkling delight! You see, dear readers, I never leave the house without a shimmering bag of magic dust, the secret weapon to create a dazzling show that sparkles brighter than a thousand fireworks. You've gotta be bold and fabulous, my darlings. The world, as they say, is your oyster!
My setlist for the Aberdeen show? Ah, pure classic. A pinch of Broadway glamour, a sprinkle of modern ballet finesse, with the usual dose of that quintessential Pink Tutu Sparkles spice. It’s about creating magic on stage, and showing that drag artistry is more than just flamboyant costumes. It's about self-expression, empowerment, and using that creativity to spread joy to those watching. As the curtains close, I see those wide eyes full of wonder and the enthusiastic applause; it's enough to give any girl a pink tutu high! It’s a joy, dear readers, I truly can’t imagine my life any other way.
Now, some of you might be thinking: "A drag queen scientist?" Well, let's just say that Pink Tutu Sparkles wouldn't be herself without her other persona. I live a dual existence, you see. By day, I'm a humble, science-loving lab technician at a renowned textiles lab, helping to analyse fabrics and their durability. Don't be fooled by the pristine lab coat though, hidden under those lab coat sleeves are two arms that yearn to dance, twirl and showcase the dazzling delights of the drag world. In this realm, I analyse the very essence of fashion and design, helping to bring vibrant colors and exquisite textures to life. But let's be real, what is better than designing the fabrics, but putting the whole magical package together?
Of course, a weekend in Aberdeen would be utterly incomplete without indulging in a little retail therapy, wouldn't you agree? I'm obsessed with fashion, you see. My love for it has no limits, especially when it comes to tutus. Now, every true pink princess, and all those seeking to become one, must pay a visit to the Aberdeen Arcade. The sheer diversity and whimsy of its boutiques were simply astounding! Just as a pink princess should be, this arcade is utterly full of treasures, from glittering vintage costume jewels to delicate handmade ballet shoes! Every turn led to an exquisite surprise. As much as I adore vintage garments and handcrafted goods, a modern boutique also stole my heart, filled to the brim with breathtaking fabrics! I just had to get my hands on these luxurious silks and satins; I know they will be perfect for creating my next set of pink-tutu masterpieces! You've gotta get out there, my lovelies, and experiment! You'll find your own unique pinkness in the most unexpected places.
And, before I end my dazzling Aberdeen diary, let's not forget the other reason I adore ballet! The His Majesty's Theatre has had such a vibrant and colourful history, you can truly feel the energy buzzing. And believe me, with a name like Pink Tutu Sparkles, it's a sin to miss out on an exquisite performance! The stunning grandeur of this beautiful theatre, oh my dear, it took my breath away. Every corner whispered secrets of past performers, whispering to me to bring out the best in my pink tutu-wearing soul!
My day is ending, and you’d better believe that I've managed to fit in one ballet class, at the glorious Aberdeen Ballet School! Every ballerina needs to keep their skills sharp and, oh, how lovely to stretch those pink tutu legs with the most inspiring fellow ballerinas! Oh, the magic of Aberdeen's pink tutu adventure truly is a memory to cherish forever.
Well, darlings, this is Pink Tutu Sparkles saying goodbye to Aberdeen and its delightful pinkness. As always, remember to spread the love of the colour pink and let your own pink tutu dreams sparkle brightly. Next time, it’s on to the rolling hills of Ireland! So stay tuned and keep on shining brightly!
Much love,
Your Pink Tutu Sparkles xx
