Hello darlings!
It’s Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and welcome back to another exciting entry in my daily blog - post number 6091! Can you believe it? I've been blogging for over 16 years now, sharing my love of tutus, glitter, and all things fabulous with the world.
Today, my journey takes me to the bustling streets of Catford, a vibrant hub in south east London that I’ve always wanted to explore. After all, where better to spread the pink tutu gospel than in the heart of the capital?
And to reach my destination? Why, I'm travelling in style, of course! Not by bus, nor by tube. No, today I am gracing the carriage of a charming double-decker, complete with panoramic views and a delightful aroma of old books. The vintage leather seats are comfy, the breeze whisks through the open windows, and a cheery conductor keeps everyone smiling. Travel like this reminds me that even the smallest of details can transform an everyday journey into an adventure.
A Trip to the Theatre? More like a Trip to the Runway!
Catford's calling, and it’s calling me to see a thrilling performance at the local theatre. I’ve heard whispers of a show with intricate choreography, a heart-warming story, and, of course, stunning costumes. I just know it’s going to be an absolute treat for the senses! And I am so excited to put on my best pink tutu (a sparkly, double-layered affair with layers of netting, feathers, and a touch of gold glitter – you can never have too much glitter!).
The Inspiration: From Lab Coats to Tutu's
Remember when I told you that by day, I'm Alex, a scientist in a laboratory? It’s true! It might seem like a strange juxtaposition – the world of lab coats and beakers alongside the dazzling world of pink tutus – but I’m not ashamed to admit it's my reality! The creativity of both worlds inspires me – the way science blends artistry and exploration, and how theatre brings stories and emotions to life. I wouldn’t trade my days in the lab for the world – it allows me to appreciate the textures and colours of the fabric that I experiment with, which ultimately translates into more dazzling tutus!
It all started during my science degree at university – remember my uni ballet club? (Who wouldn't join a ballet club?!) There I was, amongst my fellow students, trying on a fluffy pink tutu for charity – that’s how my pink tutu journey started! Little did I know then, this whimsical adventure would become my life’s mission - getting everyone, everywhere, wearing a pink tutu. It's a big dream, I know, but that's why it's so much fun!
Catford: A Day of Exploring, Dining, and Dreamy Tutus
Catford is welcoming, with charming shops brimming with treasures and an abundance of restaurants that promise a symphony of delicious smells. There’s a little café just around the corner from the theatre, serving delicate sandwiches, decadent cakes, and hot cups of Earl Grey - just my cuppa!
Later, I plan on visiting the local shops. There’s a charming millinery shop that has just the thing for a final touch – a head-turning hat in a dazzling pink, naturally! And I can’t resist a browse in the independent shops, searching for a delightful, one-of-a-kind accessory to match my new hat. After all, my pink tutu deserves a bejeweled complement, don’t you agree?
A Night Under the Spotlights: Performing in Catford
Once the theatre curtain falls, I’m putting on my show in a small, intimate bar right in the heart of Catford. There’s a vintage feel to it, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone’s name. I’m so excited to meet the locals, to share my love for tutus and to spread a sprinkle of Pink Tutu Sparkles magic. The stage is set for a performance packed with laughter, dancing, and the purest pink tutu love – oh, and let's not forget the glitter!
Travel with Me, Darling!

I’m a true believer in pursuing your dreams – no matter how wild they may seem. I love my day job as a scientist – it challenges me, it teaches me, and it fuels my creative fire! But, it’s my life as Pink Tutu Sparkles that truly gives me a chance to share joy and bring people together. The power of the tutu knows no bounds!
