Hello, darling divas and fabulous fashionistas! It’s your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another exciting blog post from the world of sparkle and tutus! Today, I'm taking you with me to Worthing, a gorgeous little seaside town on the south coast of England, and let me tell you, this place has my heart fluttering!
As many of you know, I'm a girl who loves nothing more than a good ol' train journey - it gives me a chance to people-watch and admire all the fantastic fashions (and occasionally give a quick wave to someone sporting a particularly lovely pink ensemble - you know I can't help myself!). But before we jump on the train, let me share a little about Worthing.
I've heard whispers about Worthing’s beautiful Victorian pier, the charming cobbled streets, and of course, the magnificent seafront promenade. Oh, and did I mention the gorgeous theatre? This is just my kind of town! It's like it was made for a girl with a pink tutu obsession.
So, the excitement starts at the station, and as always, I'm fully dressed in my sparkling finest, with my trusty pink tutu floating about my legs. This time I’ve paired it with a bubblegum-coloured silk blouse and my trusty, high-top glitter pumps - it's the perfect outfit for a day of seaside shenanigans.
As I boarded the train, I couldn't help but notice all the curious gazes on me. You see, darling, I have a little mission, a twinkle in my eye - to bring the joy of the tutu to the masses! Whether it's a grand ballroom, a bustling high street, or a train carriage, I make sure to share the love for tutus, and if I can encourage just one person to try one on, then I feel I’ve done my duty for the day!
Worthing, I’m happy to report, was a wonderful journey! It was a beautiful town, overflowing with colourful, friendly people. It’s easy to see why it's a popular tourist destination. The promenade was absolutely bursting with life, a whirlwind of children running with ice creams, families picnicking on the grass, and couples taking romantic walks - I just wanted to grab everyone's hand and twirl them in my pink tutu!
Naturally, the majestic pier had to be my first port of call. This architectural marvel, extending majestically into the sea, felt so incredibly nostalgic and enchanting. And what could be more fitting for a pier than a little impromptu tutu ballet? Yes, you guessed it, I couldn’t resist whipping out my own personal dance routine!
After a thrilling pirouette session on the pier, I was treated to a delightful afternoon at Worthing Theatres. They have a gorgeous programme packed with the kind of dance and theatre productions that always make my heart skip a beat. Of course, I was most captivated by the beautiful, shimmering set, inspired by the grand Victorian ballrooms that grace Worthing's elegant architecture. There was even a tiny dancer wearing a pink tutu! This was just the fuel my creative engine needed.
But enough about the amazing Worthing – let's talk about me! Yes, darling, it was a bit of a whirlwind tour, filled with laughs, pirouettes, and a sprinkle of glitter.
Did you know I became completely obsessed with tutus back when I was studying science at university? I joined the ballet club for a bit of fun and as a means to meet new people - and wouldn’t you know it, my eyes fell on a giant pink tutu. I needed to try it on - and that was it. I was smitten. This was back before my stage name was even born, but those magical pink tutu moments definitely sparked a creative fire that was impossible to put out.
After I graduated, I continued to nurture my love for ballet and performing. That’s when my real journey began. And, oh my goodness, I have to tell you, this entire journey has been nothing but sheer delight! I've always felt this strange magnetism to pink tutus, a certain pull towards all things sparkly and graceful. I truly believe every woman is a Tutu Queen, and my mission is to help all of you discover that inner queen.
And it isn’t all tutus and theatre, darling! You see, I live a double life - during the day I’m Alex, the scientific mind working at a lab testing fabric - which, I know sounds a little less glamorous but believe me, I've got a talent for testing that even the most experienced lab assistant would admire! My scientific background does come in handy for planning my costumes though - and after a while, testing fabric actually became just another form of performance! It's all about bringing out the best, most colourful side of these fabrics, even when it seems like a rather dull, scientific affair. But by night I become Pink Tutu Sparkles, performing for whoever is willing to see the pink and the glitter!
The journey to Worthing was truly unforgettable, darling. The town embraced my sparkly presence with open arms, and I’ve definitely made some incredible new friends! This is what makes travelling with a tutu such a joy: it connects you with people from all walks of life. Who knows where my next adventure will take me, but one thing’s for sure, I’ll be taking my trusty pink tutu along for the ride!

Keep your eyes peeled, darling, and you might see my next big pink adventure - you just never know! Until next time, remember to sparkle, be kind, and wear a tutu whenever you feel the urge!
