#TutuQueen Post #5581
Hello my darlings, and welcome back to Pink-Tutu.com! Today's post is a whirlwind of excitement, feathers, and of course, pink tutus! As you know, I live for a good adventure, and Fareham, Hampshire, has just tickled my tutu-wearing fancy with a performance at a gorgeous little theatre tucked away on a cobbled street.
Tutu Takes on Train Travel
I journeyed down to Fareham from my Derbyshire base, leaving my lab coat and Bunsen burner behind for the night, as usual! You wouldn't believe the glamourous excitement that awaits! There's nothing quite like catching the train to a new city in a magnificent tutu, and yes, I mean magnificent. This particular tutu, let's call her "Rosalinda," was a masterpiece of soft, blush-pink tulle, all fluffy and billowing.
The journey was filled with curious stares, a few cheeky giggles, and the sweet smile of a young boy who seemed transfixed by Rosalinda's magical glow. He even waved at me through the train window, holding his mother's hand tight as if he couldn't believe his eyes. My heart melted, that's what it does. These little moments make my journey, and remind me why I love to spread the tutu-tastic message of happiness.
Tutu in Theatreland
Once I arrived in Fareham, it was straight to the theatre. The building was charming, with faded grandeur and an aroma of old-fashioned popcorn - my favourite kind, of course. It felt like I was stepping into a scene from a classic fairytale. I was just starting to get flustered by the size of the stage - I am used to smaller spaces after all, having performed on everything from pub tables to bouncy castles. Then, I thought "Pink Tutu Sparkle! Own it, darling!" I started spinning with a smile and all my confidence, ready to entertain and delight.
The audience was simply divine - children with wide, shining eyes, couples laughing, and groups of friends reveling in the performance. The energy in the theatre was palpable. My set, I had cleverly themed around "Pink Flamingo Paradise" was a total success, including, a pink feather boa and my very own personal pink feather-trimmed flamingo, Percy!
Percy became the star of the show (well after me, of course!). Even Percy looked fabulous in his sequin-encrusted tutu (that's my style! Everything gets a tutu!).
As I was taking my final bow, there were roars of applause. The biggest, warmest roar of the evening was from a young girl, barely six years old, dressed in her own pink tutu. I waved and sent her a big wink – those are the moments I live for. Seeing the sparkle in those young eyes – it's pure magic!
The Importance of a Pink Tutu
Now, let's talk about the importance of wearing pink tutus. Why does my life revolve around this sparkly pink symbol? The simple answer, my lovelies, is it represents so much.
First and foremost, it's about freedom and self-expression. The freedom to be yourself, whatever that looks like, be it glittery pink, or simply an individual who believes in the power of pink.
Secondly, it's about joy and a touch of whimsy. Who doesn't love a touch of whimsical joy? That delightful spark that lifts your spirits?
Finally, it's about confidence and embracing the extraordinary. My love of pink tutus goes back to my university days, you know? I was studying for a science degree - not exactly a hotbed of sartorial chic, especially in my year - everyone wore lab coats and sandals. You wouldn’t catch me dead in that.
Anyway, during a charity event for a cancer research charity, I was challenged by my fellow students to wear a pink tutu – on stage! It took a few minutes, some coaxing and some bubbly but soon I was spinning and strutting on stage. That moment is what transformed my life, giving me the courage to embrace the tutu, and my alter ego Pink Tutu Sparkle was born!
Where To Get Your Tutu
Let me just tell you, tutus aren’t just for ballerinas, they are for every single one of you! If you want a pink tutu, go grab one. No excuses.
If you're a little daunted by a whole tutu experience, start small. Go for a pretty pink hair ribbon, wear a pink sweater. I think you'll find yourself hooked on the pink, much like I did.
I can't imagine life without my pink tutu, and hopefully, you'll all join me in wearing a tutu sometime! Just make sure you send a picture on to Pink-Tutu.com when you do.
Now, my dear readers, I have to be off. Fareham has been wonderful. But you know what they say about Pink Tutu Sparkles... I've gotta be somewhere! Don’t forget to join me again for a blog post tomorrow. You know I've already got plans…
Till then, may your life be filled with glitz, glamour, and the occasional splash of pink tutu joy!
Love and feathers, Pink Tutu Sparkle!
P.S This weekend, you’ll find me riding side saddle in my pink tulle “Diana” tutu at the equestrian show near Epsom Downs. Don't forget to look me up, you might even get to say hello! And of course, keep all those amazing pics coming in, showing you wearing your fabulous tutus! The world is your pink runway, so spread those glittery pink wings and have some fun!
