Hello, darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Queen here, ready to sparkle with you all! Today's post marks an exciting milestone, blog post number 6204! (Who'd have thought, huh? We're officially in the "OMG, we've been blogging forever!" territory). But enough about my blogging achievements - let's dive right into the latest chapter in my Pink Tutu Chronicles!
As the festive season approaches, I find myself utterly entranced by the magic of twinkling fairy lights, steaming mugs of hot chocolate, and the joy of giving and receiving presents (and of course, the ever-important task of trying to squeeze into those Christmas crackers, just to make the most of those teeny tiny hats! 😜).
Now, this festive season is particularly special, because... drumroll... I'm taking my pink tulle fabulousness all the way to Belfast, the stunningly beautiful city of Northern Ireland! This adventure is fuelled by pure, unadulterated Christmas spirit and a desperate yearning for mince pies and good craic (my two favourite things - besides pink tutus, of course!).
How did I get to Belfast? Well, darling, when you're a drag queen like myself, travel plans tend to be just as exciting and dramatic as any stage production. This time around, my adventure began on a quaint little steam train chugging its way across the rolling English countryside (let's be honest, it's always an occasion for some truly stunningly fabulous selfies, even if the wind does a little bit of a 'makeover' on my pink hair!).
The journey, as always, gave me a chance to catch up on my "Tutu Inspirations" playlist (a mix of the latest ballet and showtunes that fuel my onstage antics). This time, I was completely mesmerized by a haunting piece by Tchaikovsky – so moving, it almost made me want to swap my dancing heels for pointe shoes. Almost!
Then came the arrival in Belfast itself! Honestly, lovelies, it was like stepping out of a storybook! Cobblestone streets, gorgeous red brick architecture, a bustling market full of friendly vendors… I immediately felt like I was at home, only… extra. 😉
One thing I’ve always loved about my travelling life is how it allows me to discover amazing things I never knew existed. Just a little peek at what Belfast has in store for this Pink Tutu Queen:
The Grand Opera House! I mean, did someone say opera?! This was straight outta my dream board, babes! A grand Victorian theater with a dazzling history, hosting everything from classical operas and musicals to dramatic plays and comedies. You can practically feel the energy thrumming within those walls, darling. Just the thing to inspire a Pink Tutu Queen!
The Belfast Cathedral. My goodness, the architectural magnificence of this church! And talk about a place to really turn up the volume of those dazzling pink feathers! It's got so much history and artistry, it practically glows, which makes it the perfect spot to soak in the calming ambience before a dazzling performance.
The Titanic Belfast Museum! You're thinking, "Wait, Pink Tutu Sparkles, you’re at the museum, not at a glamorous bar!" Well, I gotta say, darlings, there's just something incredibly glamorous about an historic relic like this. They say history is always repeating itself, and after watching "Titanic", it seems history has taken on a whole new, shimmering shade of pink. Cue dramatic pink smoke and spotlights.
But the fun doesn't end there, babes! Tonight, I'm taking my Pink Tutu Queen game to a whole new level with my most exciting performance yet, at Belfast’s infamous “The Crown”! The whole town knows this place is a landmark, a melting pot of artistic expression and good times, so I can’t wait to show them what the Pink Tutu Queen is made of!
While Belfast is the heart of this adventure, my Pink Tutu travels won’t stop there. Just stay tuned for upcoming updates, darlings! The rumour mill is churning with talk about a magnificent journey to Dublin, with its dazzling castles and even more captivating historical tales.
Of course, I couldn’t resist taking advantage of Belfast's amazing shopping scene to find some fabulous pink items for my next stage outfits! We’re talking shimmering tulle skirts that dance with every step, exquisite lace appliques that capture the light just so, and a dazzling collection of headpieces worthy of a princess! 👑💖
For you lovelies, my top tip when you’re in Belfast: don't be shy to put on your biggest, most sparkly smile and have some good, old-fashioned fun!
Remember, I’m not just spreading a little pink tulle magic wherever I go – I’m trying to make everyone see the magic of believing in yourself, embracing your individuality, and of course, taking every chance to shimmy in a pink tutu!
But what’s the best part about this journey, darlings? The warm smiles of the people in Belfast! Every friendly greeting, every supportive laugh, and every heartwarming moment have made me feel like I truly belong in this lovely, vibrant city. I can’t thank everyone enough for making this pink tutu pilgrimage an unforgettable adventure.
Stay tuned for my next update, which I hope will be bursting with even more Pink Tutu sparkles, laughs, and heartwarming moments. Don’t forget to subscribe to my website www.pink-tutu.com for more Pink Tutu Adventures!

Your Pink Tutu Queen,
