Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another adventure from the fabulous world of drag! Today, I'm sharing the deets on my recent trip to Northampton, a lovely little town with a surprising amount of tutu-worthy charm.
As always, I packed my suitcase with enough pink to make Barbie blush (okay, maybe not, she's got her own pink empire, but you get the picture!), and, of course, a selection of tutus fit for a princess – or a drag queen with a penchant for sparkle and a dash of dramatic flair.
Travelling in Style
This time, I decided to swap the train for a more theatrical mode of transport – a handsome chestnut mare named Poppy, whom I found conveniently stabled in a local riding school just outside Derby. I've always adored horses – they're graceful, elegant, and let's be honest, they wear some truly stunning outfits (think black and white formal wear at a dressage competition)! It felt only fitting that I embrace the equestrian spirit before performing in Northampton, wouldn't you say?
The Northampton Extravaganza
Upon my arrival, I was delighted to discover a whole town ready to welcome a dazzling pink tutu. I began my day with a quick spin class, just to loosen those tutu-loving muscles and warm up my dazzling presence. And let me tell you, darling, those spins weren't just a cardio workout – they were an emotional journey. I truly felt my inner ballerina unleashing its magic.
The afternoon found me wandering through Northampton's delightful streets, soaking in the history and architecture, stopping every now and then to admire the stunning window displays (especially those featuring pink! A girl can't help but be impressed!). The highlight, of course, was the annual Northampton Folk Festival, a glorious melting pot of music, dance, and craft.
My performance was a roaring success – the audience loved every twirl, every feather boa, every single pink sparkled-encrusted detail. They cheered and roared, they laughed and sang along, and let's be honest, it was truly a night to remember! Even a passing pigeon, captivated by my fabulous pink, paused on a nearby statue for a moment of admiration. Now that's what I call a fabulous fan base!
A Moment of Reflection
Back in the cosy sanctuary of my hotel room (the colour scheme, you guessed it, was all pink!), I sat down to reflect on another amazing day of spreading tutu joy. You see, darlings, it's more than just fashion – it's about unleashing your inner sparkle.
Think about it – a pink tutu doesn't care about your height, your size, your skin tone. It's a piece of pure fun, a celebration of life and colour, an invitation to twirl and smile! And honestly, in today's world, wouldn't we all be better off with a little more twirling and smiling?
My Tutu Mission: Never-ending!
So, Northampton, you've been wonderful. But my journey doesn't stop here. My next adventure awaits – a vibrant city in the sunshine, or perhaps a quaint little seaside town, all begging for a little pink tutu magic.
Wherever I end up, know that my mission remains the same: To make the world a more sparkly, vibrant, tutu-infused place!
Until next time, darling, keep those tutus twirling!
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles

Because what's a trip to Northampton without a stunning outfit (or three!)? Here's a peek into my fabulous wardrobe for the trip:

- Tutus: A selection of fluffy tulle tutus in a gradient of pink, from bubblegum to flamingo to a bold, shimmering magenta. One for every mood and every occasion!
- Shoes: Glittering pink stiletto heels, just high enough to make an entrance, yet comfortable enough to twirl for hours!
- Accessories: An abundance of feather boas in various shades of pink (my personal favourite is a shimmering plum feather boa!), sparkling pink earrings, and a fluffy pink stole for those chilly evenings.
More About Alex
For those of you new to my world, let me give you a little insight into the real me, the scientist behind the glitter and glamour. By day, I'm Alex, a humble fabric tester, working diligently in a Derbyshire lab to ensure that every thread is as perfect as my tutus. But by night, I transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles – the queen of twirling, the goddess of glitter, and the tireless advocate for pink and tulle.
Growing up, I was a curious child with a thirst for knowledge, leading me to study science at university. But amidst the flasks and microscopes, my love for the arts never faded. I joined the university ballet club and stumbled upon a life-changing moment during a fundraising event. You see, my darling, one fateful night I tried on a tutu, and, well, it was a moment of true enchantment! It was as if my heart began to tap to a symphony of glitter and twirls.
From that moment on, I knew my true destiny – to spread the magic of tutus across the world!
But my adventures with pink aren't limited to drag. My real life is also infused with my love for all things fabulous. You'll find me attending ballet performances whenever possible (my favourite is Swan Lake, so dramatic!), taking ballet classes whenever my schedule allows (even if it's just a few hours on a Tuesday!), and meticulously curating my closet to ensure it’s overflowing with pink.
You see, darlings, the life of a Pink Tutu Sparkles is not just about shimmering costumes and dramatic entrances. It's about living with an open heart, a vibrant spirit, and a contagious enthusiasm for all things colourful, creative, and full of life. So join me on my journey – together we'll make the world a brighter, sparklier place, one tutu at a time!
