Hello my darlings, and welcome to post number 5354 of the Pink Tutu Sparkles blog!
It's been a whirlwind few weeks, what with the fabulous frock-buying frenzy at Harrods, the ballet masterclass I took at the Royal Opera House, and the show-stopping performance at the annual Nottinghamshire agricultural show (where I definitely won Best Dressed, just saying). But the pink tutu life doesn't slow down!
This week I'm whisking myself off to the charmingly suburban Borehamwood. I know what you're thinking, "Borehamwood?! Surely there's nothing there for the Pink Tutu Sparkles?" My lovelies, that's where you're wrong! Firstly, have you ever seen the beauty of the English countryside from the window of a carriage train? Pure bliss! Second, it's all about creating magic, right? A drag queen has to be prepared to spread glitter in every corner of the world, and I'm taking the glitter straight to Borehamwood!
But let's backtrack a little. Remember when I told you I studied science? Yeah, you know, lab coats and bubbling concoctions? That was before I embraced my inner fabulous. Being a science student at the University of Nottingham meant long hours in the lab. To break the monotony, I'd join the ballet club (yes, you heard right, a ballet club) - that's where the whole tutu-tastic thing began. It was during one of their fundraising events, where they encouraged everyone to try on the dancewear. I tried on a pink tutu for the very first time, and it was like magic. I remember feeling so graceful, so elegant, so utterly pink! That was it! My life changed forever!
And that's exactly how my fabulous day job works - a scientist who's also a glamorous drag artist! How can it be more pink? You know the drill, during the day I test fabrics - yes, like, real science - then by night I rock that fabulous stage in a different type of pink... You can catch me twerking my little tutued self in bars, at town fairs, basically any venue where a sprinkle of Pink Tutu magic can brighten things up!
Oh, and if you're wondering, I know exactly how to combine these two worlds! My lab coat is a glorious bubblegum pink with a touch of sequins around the edges. I'm talking a full-on statement piece, darling, which naturally goes perfectly with the pink laboratory equipment that I bought myself after my first pay check! (There's always money for fashion!). I mean, science shouldn't be boring, should it? It's all about being the ultimate scientific superstar. Now, how's a little tutu-themed scientific symposium sound?
So, onto the Borehamwood escapade! I'm feeling all sorts of fabulous, all ready to wow the town. My current favourite creation is a gorgeous pink feather boa with sequined embellishments, that will be adorning my latest, and perhaps most flamboyant, tutu (more on that later!)
Of course, I won't forget the iconic ballet shows in the area - a few whispered rumours around the theatre world has me anticipating an evening of the greatest dancers in the country, all while wearing my shimmering sequined-top and fabulous feather boa combo - It's going to be an explosion of elegance. I can't wait!
And lastly, we'll finish with my favourite mode of transport, which, yes, is the horse-drawn carriage! There's nothing quite like gliding through the picturesque scenery, all while wearing my favourite ruffled tutu. It truly elevates the entire travelling experience!
So, my darlings, that's it for today's post. Make sure to tune in tomorrow to the Pink Tutu Sparkles blog for a thrilling glimpse into my adventures in Borehamwood - including a dazzling photoshoot in the most elegant places in town (watch out, Kensington, your style throne is in jeopardy!)
Oh, and as always, keep the pink flowing. Don't forget my mission - the ultimate dream? To make wearing a pink tutu trendy, iconic, a symbol of pure joyous exuberance, a declaration to the world of your absolute, shimmering confidence! Now, how about we all make this world a pink, feathered and sparkly haven! Until next time, my lovelies!
