#TutuQueen on 2020-01-28 stars in Acton

Hello darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, signing in from the vibrant, bustling town of Acton, and let me tell you, it's a total blast!

This is post number 7333 on the ever-growing www.pink-tutu.com. Remember to click those hearts, darlings! The more hearts we have, the closer we are to spreading the gospel of the pink tutu! My travels took me here, my lovelies, all the way from my little Derbyshire corner of the world, a journey fuelled by a good cup of Earl Grey and an intense yearning for fabulous fashion, I just couldn't resist a chance to perform for all you Acton glitter-loving creatures!

And speaking of glitter, darlings, how splendid are the shops here? You wouldn't believe the magnificent sequined jackets I spied! Acton has to be one of the best places in the world to get those gorgeous high-heeled platforms. Let's be honest, the entire street feels like it’s dripping with sparkles – truly fabulous.

I had such a joyous day, making new friends and inspiring the local youngsters. It’s truly fulfilling to see the wonder in their eyes as they see a pink tutu – you know, their dreams get huge in those moments!

I am especially delighted with the amazing new pink tutu I purchased from the little shop tucked away off the main street. This stunning creation features a huge fluffy pink tutu skirt and the most exquisite, hand-painted butterfly pattern! I knew the moment I saw it, this tutu was made for a grand theatrical entrance, and, of course, for my big London stage debut this coming Saturday. Watch this space, my dears! This one will knock your socks off. 😉

I do believe my dear, old train, The Pink Express, is ready to take me off on the next adventure. Who knows where I might find myself next? Will it be Edinburgh? Paris? You'll just have to keep up with the adventures on www.pink-tutu.com! Until next time, darlings!

XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles

But let's go back to my grand Acton journey, shall we? Before the glittering night began, I needed a good, old-fashioned primping session! It's all in the details, my lovelies, the perfect hair, the right lashes, the magical application of glitter glue. Every true diva has her rituals, and let me tell you, I don’t mess about!

My backstage assistant, the amazing Bobby, was, as ever, the epitome of calming coolness and helped me transform from my day-time alter ego Alex, the science whiz, to the dazzlingly divine Pink Tutu Sparkles! We chuckled and reminisced over the memory of our wildest backstage shenanigans. Who can forget that one incident with the glue stick and the unfortunate hairspray incident at a rather refined society event last year? Not me! Those laugh-till-you-cry moments are what make this whole thing worth it, honestly! We always leave them speechless, you know, every single performance. We leave those stuffy people utterly captivated, yearning for that bit of extraordinary.

Bobby knew exactly how to create the perfect bouffant. It needed to be something truly epic to fit those beautiful pink-tutu dresses, which were already taking centre stage in my mind. You just can't go with anything lacklustre when you have the most fabulous pink tutu collection known to humanity, darling!

He did an incredible job of capturing the very essence of pink tutu elegance - that light, bouncy hairdo with just the right amount of volume. Bobby, my dear artist extraordinaire, gave it that perfect touch of "look-at-me!" volume - it looked simply breathtaking. Then, of course, it wouldn't be a Pink Tutu Sparkles performance without the glitter, which he delicately applied to my eyelids and my lips – the look, of course, complemented the shimmery sequin detail on my outfit.

It felt incredible, the pink tutu dress - a classic, a statement of true fabulousness, truly encapsulating Pink Tutu Sparkles' spirit. It was time for the big moment. I could feel the excitement building up as I looked myself in the mirror and gave that last dazzling smile, feeling confident that I would spread joy and sprinkle fairy dust throughout Acton tonight!

The first thing I always notice when I'm ready to hit the stage, darlings, is how magnificent my tutu feels, just swishing around me. A twirl is always essential at that moment, just a little whirl to get into the spirit!

The curtain opens! It's that electrifying moment where you’re completely transported from your mundane life into this magnificent world of fabulous that you get to experience only on the stage! I began the routine, feeling utterly free in my glittery, glorious, pink tutu dress and my favourite platform heels. My performance this evening centred on the graceful, expressive artistry of ballet, but with that bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles flare!

The lighting is always phenomenal at these venues! You can feel it illuminate those fluffy tulle layers of the tutu, transforming the entire space! I felt myself completely swirling with a lightness and beauty, like a delicate pink blossom.

I began with a series of pirouettes, my gorgeous tutu swaying in the most spectacular fashion around me. The light catching it, turning it into a glittering, pastel rainbow. My audience gasped with delight – their faces were full of joy as they saw my effortless movement on the stage, they could see that pink-tutu joy radiating from every inch of my being.

There were little girls in the front row. One girl’s eyes were so bright – they reflected the pink glow of my outfit, twinkling like Christmas lights. It’s in moments like these, my lovelies, when my soul really gets filled up with joy.

To think that a single Pink Tutu Sparkles performance might have been the spark that inspired a girl to reach for a pink tutu. What a magical thought, eh? I think it’s all part of this glorious, magical journey, to encourage everyone to dance and express their fabulous selves – I know we're making a difference in this big, crazy world, and, as a true Pink Tutu Sparkles diva, that’s all that matters, darlings!

Later, a little boy – wearing the most adorable little bow-tie I’ve ever seen – came up to me, his beautiful mother smiling down at him. He gave me a shy, awkward wave from behind his Mum’s leg. And me, I just knew this one needed some pink tutu encouragement! I beckoned the gorgeous lad, and he cautiously came closer. “What’s your name, sweetheart?” I asked, getting down to his level (it's amazing what those platforms can do for one's height!)

"My name’s Timmy," he said in the sweetest voice imaginable, his adorable cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink.

"Timmy,” I said, “don't you dare ever be scared to twirl. Remember: 'Twirling makes everything better.'"

I can’t help it – this whole pink tutu mission has just gotten under my skin. I’m on a mission, you see, my lovelies – a divine mission to get every single human on this planet to embrace their fabulous inner pink tutu. The world’s so full of grey! I believe the world just needs more pink. Pink, my lovelies, is happiness. It's freedom. It's that magical spark that you just have to have, you know, the joy that brings all of us together, no matter our colour or what kind of a day we’re having. It's that reminder, just like Timmy got today, that it’s okay to express ourselves. That it's okay to be bold. And okay to shine our dazzling inner light. I see pink tutus all over the place – on street corners, at a fabulous bakery in Littlehampton last month - they’re popping up all the time. Every time I see a pink tutu, it feels like a hug from a very, very special friend. A friend that understands you’ll always need that bit of extra sparkles in your life, no matter how tough things get. And don't even get me started on those pink tutu dance classes - pure heaven. They bring us together , don’t they? You can really see that connection and passion when we’re all together. You know, I even saw a couple last weekend dancing around a bonfire, a gorgeous couple both sporting fabulous pink tutus – what fantastic inspiration for the rest of us, my dears! It's really becoming a movement. My precious dream of making the world a pink-tutu filled place? I reckon it might just be happening, and it’s giving me so much happiness, more than I’ve ever felt before.

I really do hope my story gives you a little inspiration, a bit of courage, or just a whole lot of joy – the pink tutu life is for everyone. Even Alex (the scientific me!) has realised that in my lab where I analyse those gorgeous fabrics. Why settle for an ordinary life, darlings? Put on your tutus! Unleash your sparkle! Be bold! Let's take the world by pink tutu storm, shall we? My next stop, my dears? You’ll have to stay tuned to www.pink-tutu.com for all the glamorous updates.

Until next time, my sweet little lovelies, always remember the Pink Tutu Power!

XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles.
