#TutuQueen on 2014-08-12 stars in Chorley

Hello darlings! It’s your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and oh my goodness, you won’t believe what a fabulous time I’ve had in Chorley! This trip, my loves, has truly been a whirlwind of twirls, sparkle, and of course, pink tutus galore. You see, I just can’t resist the allure of a good old fashioned railway journey! It’s all part of the glamour, isn't it? Just picture me, strutting through the carriage with my fabulous pink tulle train billowing behind me as I make my way to the next exciting stage. And Chorley was certainly waiting to be swept away by a splash of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic!

Post number 5338, and this diva is still going strong! If you’re new to my world, welcome! This here's the place for all things sparkly, pink, and definitely tutu-tastic. Every single day, I’ll be spilling the tea on all my adventures in this wonderful life of mine as I tour the world, bringing my signature blend of elegance and camp to audiences everywhere. So, pop the kettle on, pour yourself a cuppa, and get ready to twirl right into the heart of my fabulous world!

Chorley, my darlings, is a beautiful little town nestled right in the heart of Lancashire. I must say, it's quite charming! Now, I wouldn't call it the centre of the drag universe (though I did bring a touch of fabulous to those cobbled streets), but its hidden treasures really make it a lovely place to spend a few days. The first thing that grabbed my attention, was the stunning park in the town centre. Imagine a Victorian haven full of fragrant roses, elegant walkways, and stunning trees. It felt like something out of a ballet scene! And what’s a Pink Tutu Sparkles outing without a bit of graceful dance practice, am I right? I've got to say, a waltz in those park settings would have been absolutely magical.

Of course, I’m all about that performing life. Chorley was calling out for some serious sparkle, so I had the most wonderful time spreading the Pink Tutu Sparkles gospel! The folks at [INSERT NAME OF VENUE HERE] couldn’t have been more welcoming. The energy was absolutely electric and the crowd was absolutely buzzing, ready to have their hearts filled with pink tutu joy!

Imagine the scene - stage lights shimmering, the music booming, and yours truly dazzling in a shimmering, custom-made pink tutu. A veritable flurry of pink feathers and sequined glory! We waltzed through some absolute classics like 'The Sound of Music' (that dress I wore, oh darling!) and some sassy modern numbers. Let's just say the dancefloor was hotter than a sequined spotlight, and the air was filled with laughter, twirls, and a good healthy dose of glitter. I’m telling you, these Chorley audiences know how to party!

While Chorley's a delightful destination for a gal on tour, I couldn't resist a trip to nearby [INSERT LOCATION HERE] for some serious scientific shenanigans. You see, before I transformed into Pink Tutu Sparkles, Alex, your humble blogger, was a proper scientist! And even though I spend my nights on stage, my day job involves the wonderful world of textiles! Imagine it, darlings! Studying the texture of the finest fabrics, examining the durability of that new sequined creation... it’s like fashion forensics. A drag queen who also studies the properties of fabrics? Talk about a unique combination, but honestly, it’s more fun than you can imagine.

While the train’s my usual mode of travel (nothing beats a glam ride in a first-class carriage!), sometimes a girl needs a little adventure. In Chorley, I got the opportunity to live out a little bit of a dream – a ride on horseback through the glorious English countryside. It’s like stepping right out of a Jane Austen novel, only instead of wearing a big, frilly dress and a bun, I had my trusty pink tutu flowing in the wind behind me. (I've got to say, a tulle and silk train combo definitely ups the drama quotient!) It was pure bliss – the sunshine, the sound of my horse’s hooves beating against the ground, the wind rushing through my (well, let’s be honest, our) hair – absolutely sublime. And you know what, my darlings, those horses seem to enjoy a splash of colour. A pink tutu is just the thing to brighten up their day!

Do you know how many fabulous ideas I get during these trips? From the colours of the sunset over the fields of Lancashire, to the unique styles of the local vintage shops, everything is an opportunity for inspiration! I was particularly drawn to this tiny independent boutique tucked away on a quiet street. It was filled with unique, quirky clothes – perfect for the modern-day drag queen, I'd say. It reminds me just how important it is to support these local shops that add so much vibrancy and individuality to the world. I came out with a few amazing finds that will surely see their time to shine on the Pink Tutu Sparkles stage in the near future!

At the end of the day, it's not just about the outfit, the make-up, the glam – it’s about a feeling. When you put on that pink tutu, when you twirl to the beat of your heart, something happens, a magic switch flips, and you feel ready to embrace the world. And that's the spirit I bring to every stage, every journey, every corner of life – joy, glitter, a little bit of whimsy, and a lot of love.

I've got a secret for you, my loves: Wearing a pink tutu isn't just about fashion; it's a declaration! A statement! A message to the world that you're unafraid to stand out, be your authentic self, and most importantly, to have a darn good time doing it!

So, get yourself a tutu, embrace the pink, and twirl on!

Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖🩰
