Hello my lovely little tutu fans! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to unleash some fabulousness on you with post number 5561! Today, I'm taking you on a whirlwind journey to Eltham, a little town in South East London that truly stole my heart. Buckle up buttercup, we're going to be a bit glam.
From Derbyshire to the Big Smoke - My Travel Tales
Now, you know I'm all about glamorous travel. Planes, trains, and automobiles? Nah, my darlings, I'm a train and a horse kind of girl! The gentle rhythm of the railway lines gets me into the mood, and if I'm lucky enough to find a field where I can trot, it's even more fantastic.
This time, I traded my trusty steed for the steam engine (because, let's face it, it's not easy finding a good horse hire in London!) I was off to Eltham, where my performance for the 'Dancing Through the Decades' festival was just a hop, skip, and a jump from the platform.
Dressing for the Occasion
A good performance needs the right attire. I was aiming for "pink but with a touch of vintage elegance," something to truly dazzle those Eltham eyes. Imagine: a cascade of pink tulle in layers upon layers, perfectly matched with a bejeweled top and sequined tights that caught every glimmer of light. A delicate flower crown rested on my head, and a pair of sparkling heels made my legs look like they were stretching right out to the moon. A pink tutu fan always dresses for the occasion, you know!
The Magic of Eltham
The festival was bustling, a carnival of colour and sounds. It felt a little bit like stepping into a Dickens novel, but with a lot more glitz. Every corner had a hidden gem; I even spied a little cupcake stand, and you know I couldn't resist a cupcake adorned with a pink sugar rose! It matched my outfit, what can I say, it's a destiny thing.
Pink Tutu Sparkles Takes the Stage
My act? Well, my dears, you should have seen it! A combination of classic ballet moves and modern street dance, infused with a whole heaping scoop of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic. We're talking twirls, kicks, leaps, and spins all choreographed to a symphony of pink-themed pop tunes. The crowd went wild! And that’s saying something in London! I think a good 3/4 of them went and bought tutus afterwards – I even got some proposals for tutus in weddings! How much better a way to go out than in a tutu!
More Than a Tutu, a Statement
Listen, my little sugarplum fairies, being a drag artist is more than just about dazzling costumes and fun. It's about breaking down barriers, embracing diversity, and proving that confidence shines from within. It’s about celebrating how sparkly we all can be! And maybe, just maybe, a little nudge towards those of you who are still a bit shy to wear pink tutus in public! It's about taking on that challenge and spreading the joy of sparkle and frills with the rest of the world.
See You at the Next Stop!
Eltham is just one stop on my endless tutu journey, but believe me, it was a special one. Remember my lovelies, we all have the potential to shimmer, sparkle, and twirl our way through life. I'm always looking for new destinations and audiences to reach, so keep an eye on this space for my next big adventure!
Love,

**P.S. My lovely scientist-by-day persona, Alex, just informed me that the laboratory is doing some fantastic research on the impact of different colours on the human psyche! You guessed it – I am urging them to investigate the impact of pink, of course! Because that pink power can lift anyone's spirits, I tell you. It can even change the world, one pink tutu at a time!
*P.P.S. * A few more fun things that made my trip to Eltham special: * I met the sweetest old lady who had a whole collection of vintage tutus and showed me photos of her in a dance recital from when she was young. The woman could really move! * We stumbled upon a secret garden hidden away, which had the most beautiful wisteria that looked exactly like my favorite pink chiffon. * It felt so good to dance on real wood stage instead of a bar-style stage. What a treat!
Remember darlings, you can't make a life without some adventure! Stay fabulous and see you soon,
Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles!
