Tutu Drag Queen

#TutuQueen on 2018-10-02 stars in Yeovil

Yeovil, oh my! TutuQueen’s journey to a town with an intriguing name. (Blog post number 6850)

Well, darling readers, Pink Tutu Sparkles has landed in Yeovil! What a fab name for a town, isn't it? It almost sounds like a fancy ballet move, like a graceful pirouette or a beautiful plié. And guess what, darling? You can bet your bottom dollar that my TutuQueen's got her moves on point. You see, I just adore getting around in style! So forget boring old buses or dreary cars, TutuQueen prefers to arrive in towns like Yeovil in a whirlwind of pink-tutued glamour, either on a majestic, galloping horse (they know how to handle a sparkly tutu, darling) or by whizzing aboard a luxurious train carriage. I mean, come on, we have to keep this whole glamorous fairytale thing alive, don't we?

This is my life, you know. By day, I'm Alex, a budding scientist who can identify fabrics blindfolded. I'm constantly studying how things fit together, how fibres weave and move. There’s a beautiful symphony in how materials work together, in how a fine cotton skirt will move against a delicate lace petticoat. You can imagine how delighted I am with the sparkle and movement of my pink tutu's, especially with my new feather boa, the "Whisper of the Wind" collection, oh I adore those, my readers will know it's one of my favourite things to wear and one that definitely adds a certain Je ne sais quoi, even with the feathers making me slightly too tall to use the Yeovil bus without the risk of bonking my head. It's why I much prefer to travel by train! And then, by night, the world turns pink, and I transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles! Honestly, it's magical! This incredible duality fuels my whole life. I mean, think about it! In a world obsessed with science, here I am, a champion of imagination and whimsy! Talk about shaking things up, right?

Anyway, let's talk about this delightful Yeovil, shall we? Now, don't go thinking for a minute that it's just a sleepy, ordinary little town. You’d be surprised how many places have hidden secrets just waiting to be discovered, and my dear Yeovil, you are one such wonder! Imagine, for instance, the Yeovil Theatre – oh, the shows I’ve seen! I even caught a ballet performance a few nights ago – such graceful dancers, my darlings! All those flowing movements inspired my new TutuQueen wardrobe idea... I think I might try to make a ballet skirt with those fabulous multicoloured tulle! Yes! I have the best idea – my new ballet tutu will be so chic, and so very TutuQueen! You haven’t seen the last of this idea I can promise you that my sweet readers!

Speaking of chic, darling, have you seen the fashion scene here? So vibrant, so full of life! There's something really fun and eclectic about the stores in Yeovil – I even found a little vintage boutique overflowing with beautiful outfits. You could almost say that Yeovil's fashion style has this certain sassy, almost Pink Tutu Sparkles vibe to it, I must have even picked up a new skirt with delicate flower print that fits in beautifully with my existing wardrobe, although that is undergoing a revamp, a complete overhaul, as soon as I get home to my little sewing room. It's definitely one of those towns that makes you feel like you can express yourself in the most fabulously loud way, which, naturally, is perfect for your girl, Pink Tutu Sparkles! And let’s face it, anything with sparkles, or pink, or tutus – well, that's my jam! It is a well known fact that a sparkly, frilly, twirling, tutued dress always adds a dash of magic to any event! I am a living example, right my fabulous readers?

In Yeovil, the magic doesn't stop there, darling! It truly is an exciting, vibrant little town full of personality! I’ve met so many incredible people already! Yesterday, while shopping at the local vintage market, I had this conversation with the sweetest man - I asked him what he thought of Pink Tutu Sparkles - his name is David, a name I must say suits him, I can totally imagine him on stage with his elegant dancing moves! Now he was slightly more conservative than the normal TutuQueen follower. He told me he'd rather I kept my pink tutu more for myself or at home in my bedroom, but darling, how could I possibly resist spreading the joy? The joy of wearing a fabulous, glittery pink tutu? He ended up getting a photograph of me in all my pink glory - how exciting! Oh David was lovely and seemed to enjoy his encounter with Pink Tutu Sparkles, but I really must start looking at finding the courage to wear the whole ensemble in public, it's much easier on a stage where everyone is expected to see some rather dazzling outfits, but out on the streets - it can sometimes make me quite nervous - perhaps my TutuQueen’s fans could suggest a town for my first "public pink tutu day", a bit like an actual public pink tutu dress day, like a charity event that supports people of colour! Well, anyway, my dear readers, there will be photos of that to look out for, in my next blog. Maybe I'll get all my TutuQueen followers to do the same and post photos of themselves wearing their sparkling pink tutus, imagine that darling, the world would just be too sparkly! I’d wear my crown with a very satisfied grin.

Of course, this wouldn’t be a proper Pink Tutu Sparkles blog without a mention of food! You see, my darling readers, when I go to a new town, one of the first things I do is find the local, deliciousness - what a glorious expression, it just seems to flow from me. Oh my word! Let's just say my taste buds have been having a fantastic time in Yeovil! They had the most delicious cream tea the other day – imagine a fresh-baked scone with clotted cream and lashings of local strawberry jam. It’s honestly so refreshing, It made my TutuQueen's heart skip a beat, but unfortunately it was in the shop front, where they make them so you can’t even buy one to take home and eat with your lovely vintage teacup (oh I need a new one!). Anyway, let's not forget that one of the best things about this place, well for a performer of my level at least, is the sheer friendliness! Everyone has been so kind, and so welcoming to a pink-tutu wearing drag queen from Derbyshire. This lovely town feels so welcoming and has made me feel right at home. This makes me feel very happy indeed.

Darling readers, you know I simply adore traveling, especially to new places! You can say that discovering new towns, cultures, and sights - with a dazzlingly sparkling pink tutu, no less – it's really my calling! I just want to share all the fabulous experiences with you. It’s one of my favourite ways of expanding my Pink Tutu Sparkles experience! You see, when I wear a sparkling pink tutu, I feel like I'm saying "yes" to everything in the most glamorous way possible! You might be wondering why pink tutus? Well, my darlings, the pink tutu is more than just a fashion statement – it’s about embracing who you are! For me, that is all about fun and sparkles! For a drag queen like myself, the pink tutu is about saying that being different is the best! Yes, you can find confidence in that, a beautiful, sassy and dazzling pink tutu - or whatever it is that you love. Now don't be afraid to stand out – be unique! Wear a bright coloured tutu with sequins! Have a rainbow wig and let the bright light illuminate your sparkling, frilly pink tutu. Oh I just love to see the expression on someone's face as I twirl! They just don't know what to say - a lovely kind of speechless joy!

Now, before you think Pink Tutu Sparkles is done with her whirlwind of adventures, darling, you'd be mistaken! You know I just can't stay in one place too long, my love for travelling knows no bounds! Soon I'll be off to another exciting destination. And of course, my darling readers, you’ll be the first to hear about all my escapades, fashion tips and musings. After all, sharing my Pink Tutu Sparkles joy with you is what it's all about. See you in the next post, darlings! You're going to love what I have planned. Oh you have no idea! I may or may not have booked a trip to go to the "Pink Tutu Festival" in Bath, oh darling you should see some of the outfits there, it is all about pink tutus, but if that’s not something I want to show you, you’re all mad!

Until next time darling readers! Go forth and embrace the fun, the pink, the glittery! Remember, you can never wear too much pink! Let's all spread the pink-tutu love! X
