Hello my gorgeous darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, bringing you all the glitter and glam from my latest adventure! This is blog post number 7547, and you can find me dazzling you daily over at www.pink-tutu.com – because sharing my pink tutu love with the world is the only way to live!
Today's journey takes us to the beautiful coastal town of Hartlepool. A place where the salty sea air whips up your hair and the wind seems to hum a gentle melody! And wouldn't you know it, a little birdie (or should I say a majestic, pink-feathered flamingo!) told me this was a town with a hidden love for the performing arts.
Now, you all know I'm a big fan of a good performance, whether it be ballet, theatre, or even those wonderful street dance routines that take over our local parks. It's those stories, those emotions, and those bursts of creativity that make life so much more exciting, don't you think?
So, when I saw a chance to perform at Hartlepool’s annual summer festival, I just had to grab it with both my perfectly-manicured hands. You see, this isn't just a chance to sparkle, this is about inspiring a town. My aim, as you know, is to get everyone, everywhere wearing a pink tutu! It's not just about the dress, it's about expressing yourself, embracing the joy, and letting your inner sparkle shine! And Hartlepool was the perfect place to begin spreading that pink tutu message!
My journey started in Derbyshire, where I've been busy working on a top-secret project at my day job in the fabric lab. Yes, you heard that right, a scientist by day, a glamorous drag queen by night! It's a tough life but someone's gotta make those sequins shimmer, right?
After a quick hop on the train, which is where my fabulous suitcase of pink tulle, glitter, and feather boas resides (much easier than travelling with a horse, trust me!), I found myself immersed in Hartlepool. Now, before you picture a sleepy seaside town, let me tell you, Hartlepool has an infectious energy, just like my pink tutu obsession. The vibrant seaside charm was buzzing with activity, the sun reflecting on the water, a perfect setting for some pink tutu magic!
I popped into a delightful cafe for a spot of tea and cake (a mandatory requirement before any big performance!). Now, the cafe had the most beautiful vintage aesthetic. All muted pinks, cream tones and florals - I could see it being the setting for a stunning vintage ballet photoshoot, with me of course, in a gloriously grand tutu. The scones were absolutely delicious (I had four! I know, a queen's got to stay energized!).
And then it was time to put on my sparkly crown!
The festival was an absolute riot of colour and music, a kaleidoscope of talented performers and happy faces. And let me tell you, the energy of this town was incredible. As soon as I strutted onto the stage, I knew I was home, in my heart, at least.
My act? It was a whirlwind of playful pinks, soaring dance routines, and sparkling anecdotes of how my pink tutu obsession began. The whole thing culminated in a breathtaking ballet sequence that would make even the most experienced prima ballerina blush (but they'd still look amazing in a pink tutu!).
And the response? Well, let's just say Hartlepool has now officially become my newest pink tutu haven! I could feel the audience vibrating with the love of the pink tutu and all the sparkle and beauty it represents. The laughter, the applause, the smiles – those are the things that really make a queen’s heart sing.
After the performance, I took a stroll along the harbour. It was like stepping out of a postcard! There were people enjoying the sunny weather, families out for the day, and boats gently rocking in the water, a symphony of gentle swaying. And who did I meet on this stroll? The most incredible lady, her hair in bright pink rollers, she was sporting the most fabulous pair of bright pink shoes – and her enthusiasm about my pink tutu was infectious!
As the sun started to set, I found myself reflecting on the magic of this day. My pink tutu journey isn't just about the glitz and glam; it's about celebrating individuality, spreading joy, and reminding everyone that it's okay to let your inner sparkle shine. I was thrilled that Hartlepool embraced this message with open arms. The energy of this town reminded me that there is always a little bit of pink tutu magic to be found, even in the most unexpected places.
You see, my darlings, it's not just about a tutu; it's about finding your passion and sharing it with the world! My pink tutu journey started as a simple idea, a whim, a dare - and it has turned into a life filled with colour, laughter, and community. My advice to all of you: Don't be afraid to embrace your unique style. Let your sparkle shine!
And who knows? You might even inspire someone else to step out of their comfort zone and don a pink tutu of their own! Because the world needs more pink tutus, my darlings! We need more smiles, more laughter, more joy, and more ways to express ourselves.
Stay sparkly, my darlings! And until next time, remember, always choose the pink tutu life! 💖

You can find me sparkling daily over on the website www.pink-tutu.com. My goal is to share the pink tutu love with everyone. But the real magic of a pink tutu is to make people happy and feel fabulous! I want everyone, even if they are too nervous to try a pink tutu (it's an important choice, I get it!), to find what makes them feel amazing! It might be a certain color, a song, a special way of dancing. Let your inner pink sparkle shine!
Here's a few facts about the lovely and fabulous me:
Why I love pink tutus.If you asked my Mum what was the most obvious sign that Alex had discovered the amazingness of a pink tutu she'd probably tell you it was my insistence that I have one made for my school play, even though I had a starring role! I loved all aspects of it - choosing the fabric (it was shiny satin), the fluffy tulle for the bottom, and the sequins! And of course the way it made me feel, it was like magic! That first pink tutu is where my passion really took flight, although the teachers were probably relieved that my performance ended well before a planned stage run!
It all actually started while I was studying for my science degree, it was pretty nerdy really, but it gave me the confidence to find out what really makes me tick! It all began at the University ballet club. It wasn't actually ballet itself, but at the end of one class we were given some of the old tutus, the ones they’d given to local charity shops, and we all had to put one on! Some of my fellow club members wore these beautiful white, flowing tutu styles, it all looked rather dignified and elegant. And then it was my turn!
There, nestled between the more elegant styles, was a pink tulle tutu! As soon as it went on, I knew this was my soulmate. It was the pinkest pink, the brightest, and fluffiest - the tutu had a little sparkle here and there, it even had a little diamante to embellish it! It felt magical and instantly made me feel like a queen! There’s this moment when the world just goes quiet when you’re surrounded by fluffy pink, then everything seems brighter and it is only possible when you wear a pink tutu.
So my aim in life is to get everyone to wear a pink tutu. They are a symbol of being yourself, letting go of inhibitions and allowing the inner sparkle to shine. But if you can’t wear a pink tutu then be as flamboyant as possible in your own way!
More facts!Alex: My real name is Alex. I know, I know, pretty boring compared to "Pink Tutu Sparkles" right? But hey, even scientists need a name!
Where I’m From: Derbyshire! Yep, the rolling hills and countryside – a long way from the bright lights of a big city!
My Day Job: By day, you’ll find me working in the fab lab! Yep, it’s actually where I get some of my inspiration. You see, I work with fabric, designing it and testing its properties, so you can say I’m in a pink tutu heaven, just with different textures and styles. My scientific background and my drag world work go hand in hand and bring something special to each other!
Favourite Colour: As if you didn’t know. Pink. All shades, from pale ballet slipper pink to vibrant fuchsia pink. My wardrobe is bursting at the seams, a dream in pink!
Travels: My ideal journeys are on the train, I do love the rhythm of the train. I imagine my fellow passengers secretly feeling envious as they are going about their daily business and I'm wearing pink tutu sequins, and probably having a cheeky conversation with the horse, although it's sometimes quite tricky! I would love to be able to go everywhere on my fabulous horse, but that’s a bit more challenging as they have limited stops! And besides it needs all that space to dance.
My Favourite Food: Strawberries and cream! It’s the most quintessential summer dessert and is pure perfection, just like a pink tutu. And let's face it, everyone loves strawberry and cream. The first time I tried making strawberry and cream at home (it was at my parents house in Derbyshire!), I had such a blast. I took it on the road with me on the train - which led to an unfortunate strawberry jam explosion - my tip for travelling by train: never leave home without a spare set of pink tutu sequins for your outfit.
Why Pink Tutus? It's all about having fun! When I see a pink tutu on the street I have this great big smile - it's that sense of joy, that happy feelgood vibe. I’ve heard some people say pink tutus can feel “too girly.” What’s girly? Why do you have to be feminine? That’s all to do with expectations about what people think is good and what’s right and proper! So don’t listen, it’s all about the love of tutus. Don’t be shy, embrace that magic! And wear that pink tutu, you’ll feel like you can take on the world!
