Hello my darlings! Your favourite pink tutu-clad queen is back with another dazzling travel diary entry. This time I’m bringing you all the glitz and glamour of Sutton!
A Touch of Pink in the City
Sutton may not be the first place you think of for a fabulous drag performance, but trust me, darlings, it was pure magic! I arrived in Sutton on a beautiful autumn day, feeling every bit the fairytale princess in my custom-made, blush pink, sequined tutu (and, of course, my trusty pink heels). Sutton itself has a lovely old-world charm, cobbled streets and quaint little shops… but that just makes it more perfect for a splash of Pink Tutu Sparkle!
My adventure began at the charming Sutton station, where I boarded a classic red London bus. Oh my darling, the bus journey itself was a fashion show. I received more than a few compliments on my attire from other commuters, who couldn’t resist beaming a smile at this bright, bubbly burst of colour. And yes, I was wearing a crown – it’s essential for a Tutu Queen, wouldn’t you agree?
From Science Lab to Sutton Stage
Did you know I’m a bit of a science nerd in my day job? Yeah, a proper, white lab coat, testing fabrics for their... well, that’s for another post! It's funny how my love for pink tutus bloomed when I was studying science at university. You know, they had a fundraising event where people had to dress up, and I tried on this incredible pink tutu… it was instant love! I think it was something about the combination of the sparkle, the flowing tulle, and the vibrant colour, which felt so carefree and glamorous, that captured my heart. Ever since, my dream has been to share that joy with everyone. And that’s how Pink Tutu Sparkle was born!
But back to Sutton. After a whirlwind bus ride, I arrived at my performance venue - The Sutton Arts Centre. This theatre, nestled amongst the picturesque suburban streets, offered the perfect setting for my performance. My heart did a little skip when I saw the beautiful stage - it's just begging for some tutu magic.
Ballet Inspiration in the Burbs
Now, every good drag performance needs a little ballet inspiration. Sutton, for all its suburban charm, held some delightful surprises for a ballet-loving queen like myself! I took a stroll through the leafy avenues and found the most enchanting little dance school - Sutton Ballet Studio. The studio, a beautiful Edwardian building, housed an array of vibrant dance rooms where talented students learned graceful ballet techniques. I couldn’t resist popping in for a peek (and a couple of pirouettes, naturally).
The energy in that studio was magical, just the kind of creativity and passion that sets my heart a-flutter. I was absolutely inspired by the students' dedication and love for dance. It just reinforced what I've always believed - every place, even a small town like Sutton, can hold a touch of magic and beauty.
The Tutu Queen's Performance
It wouldn't be a proper Pink Tutu Sparkle diary without a review of my performance, so buckle up, my darlings!
This time, my show, "A Tutu-orial in Style", combined my passion for fashion and the captivating beauty of ballet. My act involved shimmering pink costumes, a touch of feather boa, and even some sparkling tutus for my audience to enjoy. My goal was to spread some positive energy, encourage people to embrace their unique selves, and yes, you guessed it, to wear a pink tutu!
Let’s just say the crowd went wild. There were roars of laughter, joyful cheers, and, of course, a standing ovation.
My Dream - Pink Tutus for Everyone!
My heart always fills with warmth seeing people embracing their joy and expressing themselves freely. That’s why I believe my mission to spread the joy of the pink tutu to everyone is so important. From the shy science student, yearning for self-expression, to the boldest performer on the biggest stage, the pink tutu is a symbol of joy and magic that touches everyone.
This trip to Sutton has truly proven that a splash of colour can transform any location. So my dear friends, wherever you are, be bold, embrace your inner diva, and, of course, wear a pink tutu!
Catch me on my next adventure, as Pink Tutu Sparkle takes on… drumroll… the vibrant, colourful world of Nottingham!
Until next time, darlings, remember: Life is a runway, and every moment is a chance to shine.
Love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkle 💕
