Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and I’m back with you, all pink and sparkly, to bring you the next installment of my Pink Tutu adventures. It's post number 5200 on www.pink-tutu.com – can you believe it? I never thought this little blog I started a couple of years ago would have reached this many posts, but then, we’ve been on a right whirlwind tour haven't we?
Anyway, today’s journey takes us to Essex. Romford! Now, Essex can be a bit of a mixed bag for us drag queens, but it’s got some gems, and that’s why we had to get there for a delightful show at [Name of venue], which is actually a cracking little theater! The journey itself was a delight – I don’t get to hop on the train all that often these days – I usually travel by horse. That’s right, dear readers – if you saw a dazzling pink tutu on the back of a fine stallion trotting through your little town, you may just have seen Pink Tutu Sparkles herself! It was the most convenient and picturesque way to reach Romford this time.
Once I arrived in Romford, I felt a buzz in the air. Everyone was excited for the performance. The theatre was packed! I love when a performance feels like an event. It just makes me so happy to spread the Tutu-licious cheer.
You know, I wasn’t really planning on being in Romford today – truth be told, it was the venue, the show, and the people there that really pulled me to this corner of Essex. It’s the people who really make a performance, don’t you agree? And those Romford fans sure knew how to have a good time!
Let’s rewind for a moment: what brought me to this point? Where did a Derbyshire girl like me even get started on this pink tutu whirlwind? Well, it was all a happy accident. While studying science – yes, me! Pink Tutu Sparkles was originally a lab scientist in the day, experimenting on things that you wear - a real science whizz! - but then, one day in our University ballet club I tried on a tutu, and… well, the rest, as they say, is history.
This wasn't just any tutu. Oh, no. This was a pink tutu. A perfect, stunning, frilly, magical, pink tutu. And it sparked something. That's how my drag persona came to be: a symbol of joy and creativity.
It’s been a journey. I’ve danced in castles, entertained on stage with a variety of talents, even once even danced for the Queen! (I don't actually know if she liked pink tutus, but she was lovely anyway!) Of course, I was very careful not to sprinkle glitter everywhere. I don’t want to get banned from Buckingham Palace. That would be the end of the road for this particular Pink Tutu Sparkles.
There is a very special place in my heart for those moments where I can really make a difference and touch someone's life. Sometimes I see kids looking up to me at shows. It gives me goosebumps!
Speaking of my lovely little fans, I know I haven't given you much information about my show, right? Well, you should have been there! Let's just say it involved lots of tutus (pink of course!), dancing, and sparkles - it was fabulous, darlings! And let me tell you, that Essex crowd knows how to get a party started! They cheered and sang along, and for that, I want to give them a giant pink tutu hug! I mean, come on, it's the Romford audience we're talking about!
Oh, and speaking of "sparkles," remember when I was just a tiny Derbyshire girl, fresh out of science class, wondering what life held in store? Well, guess what! One day, as a Pink Tutu Sparkles in training, I bumped into a friend in the pub and asked her what kind of sparkly makeup she was wearing. It was SO dazzling! I just had to know! And she introduced me to this amazing, local makeup brand called... (drum roll, please)… [Name of brand]! It was fate! Their shimmery stuff is truly phenomenal and I swear it shines even brighter when you're wearing a pink tutu!
So, after this brilliant Romford show, my pink tutu is a bit dusty, but my spirits are high, darlings!
I’ve said it before and I'll say it again: if I could have my way, everyone would be wearing a pink tutu. But even if they won’t, that's ok. We can still celebrate the world in our own way. You're allowed to have fun, no matter how strange it seems! Remember: never underestimate the power of a pink tutu.
I'm off to enjoy a lovely pink cup of tea.
Until next time! Don't forget to visit my site www.pink-tutu.com and stay Tutu-licious!
XOXO
