Hey gorgeous girlies! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to whisk you away on another adventure to a fabulously fabulous place! It’s been a whirlwind of tulle and tinsel, glitter and glam, and today I'm bringing you right into the heart of Laindon! (You can thank my fabulous #TutuQueen bestie for suggesting this little gem.) This is blog post number 7669 – can you believe it? 🤯 I never thought my daily dose of sparkly pink brilliance would be reaching this many of you, and I’m so excited to continue sharing all my adventures on www.pink-tutu.com. 💖💖💖
This week, I'm taking the pink train straight to the heart of Essex! (Because what else is a TutuQueen to do with her sparkly days? winks) This weekend I've got a fabulous gig at the local fair. It’s going to be an absolute scream! You all know that when Pink Tutu Sparkles gets in her tutu and takes to the stage, it's a full-blown explosion of joy! I’ll be channeling everything from ballet moves to fabulous fashion - because what’s life without a touch of glitter, right? 💃🏼
Speaking of fabulous fashion, you can't talk about Laindon without a trip to the high street! It's a paradise for finding that perfect dress for a night out or that snazzy skirt for your day off! 🛍️ Now, I might not be a "typical" shopping queen (because let's be honest, it’s all about tutus in my world) but there's something so exciting about finding those perfect bits that add a pop of colour to your outfit. And for me? That's always a gorgeous shade of pink! 💕
And the highlight of Laindon? (besides my fabulous performance, obviously! 😂) The ballet studio, of course! I can't go anywhere without a dose of that balletic elegance! You see, dearie, ever since I got my science degree and got dragged into that uni ballet club, I’ve been absolutely besotted with ballet. It's that perfect mix of elegance, athleticism, and storytelling through movement. 💖 Plus, there’s just something divine about the magic of a tutu, even if I wasn’t on stage myself. (Don't worry, I'm already planning to wear mine for a spot of ballet practice when I'm here, because who can resist twirling in a tutu? Not this queen, that's for sure! 😂)
But, as always, it’s not just the places that make the magic of a Pink Tutu Sparkles trip – it’s the people! I had a little tea and gossip session with a bunch of absolutely lovely local ladies and it felt just like a sparkly sleepover in a fairytale. 🥰 (Just without the slumbering!). These gals have got that genuine, friendly warmth that you only find in smaller towns. You’ve all got to believe me – a dash of pink Tutu magic turns every location into a truly sparkling affair. And it's that sparkle that I'm always striving to share with the world! ✨
So, girlies, remember that life’s about having a bit of fun, dancing it out, and adding that touch of pink wherever you go! It’s time to rock that tutu and let your inner sparkle shine through. Remember, there’s no dress code when it comes to embracing the magic of life. 🌈💖
P.S. Keep an eye out for more tutu-licious tales right here! And until next time, remember to embrace the magic of life in a fabulous, sparkly way. You know the drill: stay pink and fabulous! 😘
Alex’s love for pink tutus began whilst he was studying science. He’d never danced before joining the uni ballet club where the club’s treasurer was also in the university charity fashion show and asked for a male volunteer to wear a tutu for a few seconds to be photographed. He couldn’t wait to be dressed in the fluffy tutu, and has never looked back, with that image leading to the pinkest drag stage name – Pink Tutu Sparkles – a name which has led him to performing across the country and further afield to Germany and Ireland.
A regular in the Nottingham drag scene, Alex often takes to the stage for his cabaret performances to large audiences. His full time job as a fabric lab technician has no tutu in sight, but the skills are transferable; Alex's scientific understanding helps him assess the quality of the garments he wears – both tutu and other clothing – the colour and the shine are all taken into consideration. Alex always manages to wear the most elaborate and flamboyant of costumes – always a fabulous vision in pink – sometimes with 12ft tall props!
Alex enjoys traveling – usually by train – the slow journey and the time it affords him to chat with others always proves interesting and entertaining. But sometimes Alex's drag persona wants more! For longer trips to Scotland and abroad, he opts for his horse and carriage! Alex believes that the joy of a pink tutu spreads further than just on stage or at a fashion show – his passion is the simple fact that life’s a bit better and brighter in pink – he encourages everyone to join in!
