Hey, darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, fresh off the train from a whirlwind trip to the utterly delightful Rowley Regis! I swear, this place is just bubbling over with fabulousness, and I, for one, am utterly smitten. Let me tell you all about it, it's been a bit of a journey, but you know how I love those train journeys - a bit like a pink princess express!
This is, like, the 7363rd blog post, I've just hit the big number, can you believe it?! But before we talk numbers, I just have to gush about the show in Rowley Regis. This was no ordinary gig, darling. This was a full-on "pink-a-thon" of sparkles, giggles, and enough twirling to rival a seasoned ballerina (but don't tell my dance teacher). Let's be honest, being Pink Tutu Sparkles is about more than just the performance - it’s a way of life!
You see, darling, life for me has become a perpetual whirl of pink tulle, fabulous frocks, and just enough shimmer and sparkle to blind the most jaded cynic. I started my journey as just Alex, a lab rat (the kind who studies textiles, not the furry kind!). And guess what, it all started because of a science experiment gone awry. My university's ballet club, remember those days? Oh honey, it was for a fundraiser, and well, my darling, there I was trying on that pink tutu. And the rest, they say, is history. It certainly changed everything! From that day forth, life just felt … better. A sprinkle of "Pink Tutu Sparkles" in life just elevates things. It makes you embrace the silly, the pretty, and the wonderfully flamboyant.
So, now we're in Rowley Regis, and the first thing I notice as I step off the train is the colour palette, darling. Rowley Regis, you are truly embracing the pink life! Every shop, every flowerbed, it was as if the whole town was trying to tell me, "Pink Tutu, come on in, we've got plenty of glitter and joy!"
That, my dear, is what brings us to my show at The Ritz Cinema. I'm always looking for a fabulous location, something a little different, somewhere where my sequins can really shine, and honey, let me tell you, The Ritz, it’s truly an art deco gem. With the help of my amazing drag family - we keep it in the family, darling! A whole army of talented girls helped get me and my props prepped, I was backstage prepping for an afternoon full of laughs and maybe a little tea - what I needed to power through all the singing and dancing!
I am so thrilled to be getting the opportunity to share the joy of a pink tutu with the whole world. You should have seen the kids’ faces when I appeared! I always bring a selection of those mini tutus - they are a fashion sensation in themselves, little tutu lovers in the making - the future of the fabulous!
Rowley Regis, you are, frankly, a haven for tutus! And guess what, the people loved it! I heard a couple of ladies whisper something about, "That's what the doctor ordered!" So true, ladies, so true! We were belting out some of my favourite hits (those are on my website, pink-tutu.com - go and check it out if you're in the mood for a pink blast) and dancing up a storm. It wasn't all glitter and glam, though! There was an elderly gentleman in the audience with his adorable little grandson, and they just had this twinkle in their eye! That's the thing about pink, darling, it just brightens everyone’s day! It melts even the most jaded hearts.
I can’t even remember how many tutus I saw floating around in the audience - I even managed to persuade a few reluctant males to take on the challenge, and, wouldn’t you know it, they loved it! They looked super fabulous! Honestly, if I’m honest, I love the way men in tutus look. I swear there is a power behind them. The ladies loved it too, every time a pink tutu walked past, the smiles went even wider. It was pure joy.
Rowley Regis, you were a dream come true! A testament to the fact that fabulousness knows no boundaries and that even the most ordinary town can be turned into a dazzling pink spectacle. But here's the thing: my journey doesn’t end in Rowley Regis. My dream is to have every single one of you rocking a pink tutu.
This world needs a little more pink, a little more fun, a little more sparkle. And we are going to bring it, one sparkly twirl at a time! And honestly, how else can we fight those dark and dull moments - only with a dose of pink magic! You know I’m obsessed with my favourite colours, pink of course, but black as well. You haven’t seen me in my pink and black combination yet but, trust me, it's truly the best way to end any week or a perfect colour combo to start one. I’m not sure I have my personal favourite, perhaps they are the perfect team! And don’t even get me started on feathers and a gorgeous bright yellow! It's like a sunny, pink dream come true, honey!
Now, I gotta run, but remember, follow my journeys on the fabulous pink-tutu.com - that's my little online home where all the sparkle and glam happens. Don't forget, darlings, keep spreading the love and let's make this world a more pink place, one tutu at a time.
Until next time, stay pink, stay fabulous, and remember, always sparkle.
Much Love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles (And Alex, but let’s just stick to the name Pink Tutu, OK?!)
