Hello my lovelies! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to share another fabulous adventure with you all! This week, it’s all about a little jaunt to the lovely town of Bromsgrove, a beautiful and vibrant town steeped in history and oozing with that quintessentially English charm! I was so excited to be heading to Bromsgrove, especially because it was for a delightful evening of performance at a beautiful arts centre, filled with such warm, enthusiastic faces!
Before I even set foot on the train (and let's face it, it's always the journey that makes a Pink Tutu Sparkles experience truly fabulous, especially with a comfy first-class seat and a delicious cream tea!) I knew that Bromsgrove was going to be something special. I always find that towns full of character hold a certain magic, especially when you can almost hear the stories of its inhabitants echoing through the cobbled streets and across the ancient market squares! And speaking of characters, it's no secret that my drag persona loves nothing more than embracing her inner Victorian princess. Let's be honest, a pink tutu and an impeccably-fitting ballgown were just begging for a glimpse of that charming, old-world English life!
Now, as much as I adore my flamboyant ballgowns and over-the-top sparkling crowns, you can't truly understand Pink Tutu Sparkles without knowing a little about Alex! See, it was in my hometown of Derbyshire, whilst studying science and juggling a heavy course-load with my university ballet club, that I stumbled upon my signature pink tutu! Remember those charity fundraising events at university? Well, I was cajoled into putting on a tutu (let's be honest, they had a few too many sequins on, and the feather boas were simply over the top, I had to try one on! ) and my life was never quite the same again! There was a magical sparkle to the whole experience, a joy I’d never known, and that's when I realised I was meant to make my mark on the world with a dash of whimsy, a sprinkle of glitter and... a whole lotta pink!
And let's face it, a scientist who spends their days analyzing fabrics just screams for an after-hours career as a glitter-bomb of joy! Every time I step onto the stage in that vibrant pink tutu, the lab bench and the lab coat fades away, replaced by the lights, the cheers and that fabulous feeling of living my truest self!
The Bromsgrove performance was particularly magical! Imagine a beautifully decorated, traditional, yet still very modern arts centre, bursting with friendly, local faces, all eager to be swept away into the wonderful world of Pink Tutu Sparkles. As I stepped out from behind the curtains and into the spotlight, I could hear the joyous screams of approval and feel the warmth of the room enveloping me. It's these little moments, the spontaneous bursts of joy and the overwhelming love and acceptance from people you've never met before, that make being Pink Tutu Sparkles truly special!
But wait, the Bromsgrove adventure doesn't end there! We’re always on the move here at the Pink Tutu Sparkles HQ. As you already know, the pink tutu lifestyle calls for endless travel, discovering hidden treasures and embracing everything this big, beautiful world has to offer. Before heading to the arts centre I spent the afternoon in the bustling market square of Bromsgrove, which is bursting with antique stalls, handmade crafts, fresh produce, and all sorts of little surprises! It felt like I had stepped straight out of a period drama - charming tea shops, beautifully crafted handmade items and the sound of the old town clock, tooting away the hours like some forgotten timepiece! It was just perfect for finding little keepsakes and adding to the growing collection of beautiful trinkets for the pink tutu lair!
This brings me to my favourite aspect of Bromsgrove! For someone as obsessed with horses as I am (let’s be honest, how can you not be smitten with such majestic, intelligent creatures!), finding a stable tucked away just outside the market square was a true blessing! And there she was, the majestic grey mare who captured my heart instantly. Her glossy coat shimmered in the dappled sunlight, and her kind, intelligent eyes seemed to whisper tales of forgotten hunts and peaceful rides through the countryside. I must confess that spending an afternoon with that gorgeous creature was pure joy.
And, of course, I had to capture it all for the world to see. Let's be honest, my camera is practically an extension of my arm, documenting all those magical pink tutu moments, especially when surrounded by the rolling hills and idyllic countryside of Bromsgrove. Don’t forget to check my Instagram! I promise it’s filled with delightful shots of this vibrant, fun, pink-filled adventure, a journey for the senses that embodies the essence of Pink Tutu Sparkles!
Remember, darlings, it's not just about wearing a pink tutu; it’s about embracing that sense of playful energy, the infectious joy, the endless wonder of a life beautifully and bravely lived.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some tutu-rific outfits to plan for my next trip! Maybe to the seaside? Who knows, perhaps to London? Or even a jaunt down to the quaint English countryside… Remember to subscribe to the website and follow my travels as I bring the sparkle to every corner of the world!
See you all in my next post!
Your always sparkling,
Pink Tutu Sparkles ✨
