Hello, dears! Your girl, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, ready to sprinkle some glitter on your Monday! Today's post is all about a little trip to Lowestoft - a seaside town in Suffolk, just darling! It was an adventure filled with seaside breezes, salty air, and of course, a whole lot of pink tutus!
Before we get into the excitement of the day, let's talk about my journey! As you all know, your girl Pink Tutu loves a good train journey! There's just something about the rhythm of the tracks, the scenic views, and the opportunity to have a delightful chat with my fellow passengers. This time I even spotted a fluffy bunny hopping by the tracks, such a cute scene!
A Touch of Romance (and Pink, of course) at The Lowestoft Ballet Theatre
Now, you all know I’m completely obsessed with ballet. It’s a graceful art, a form of expression that embodies the sheer joy of movement. I even love taking classes in the ballet studio in my pink tutu, because of course I do! When I heard about The Lowestoft Ballet Theatre, I knew I had to add it to my tour itinerary. The place was simply gorgeous - a beautiful Victorian theatre with stunning red velvet seats and a stage that literally vibrated with energy. I actually wore a pink tutu, topped off with a bright pink feather boa for a bit of added fabulousness! You have to love a classic, right?
And the ballet, dear friends! Oh my, it was simply divine. “Giselle” was the performance, and the dancers were breathtaking. Their leaps and pirouettes were mesmerizing! There’s something truly magical about seeing those graceful movements in action, don't you think?

Okay, darling, here’s where things really get exciting. I just love participating in local events. This was the third week running, I actually think I’ve got a little reputation for wearing my pink tutus at events! I think it’s all good fun, a little bit of colour and joy in a sometimes boring world. I spotted a parade, a colourful celebration of all things Lowestoft. I mean, when else could I have the chance to dance around in my tutu and spread some love and laughter in a beautiful seaside town? You know your girl just loves that stuff!
The best part? I think everyone secretly loves a little pink tutu in their life, because let’s be honest, they’re just so darn fabulous! At least I hope so, it's been fun so far - so much fun in fact that I made so many friends, with all of them asking me how to join the “pink tutu” movement. This trip definitely fuelled the fire for my ambition!
Fish and Chips for a Pink Tutu Princess
The day ended in perfect seaside fashion, with the most scrumptious plate of fish and chips you’ve ever seen, delicious! My mum would always say a trip to the seaside just has to be rounded off with some classic fish and chips and a sweet cuppa tea! Oh I almost forgot to mention my delightful pink straw to sip my tea, what’s life without a bit of pink?
And now a little story time for you dears ….
Let’s get back to the real story, the reason why I love pink tutus, why they’ve become the core of my drag, why my heart beats with the sweet music of dancing and tutu-wearing and how I decided to change the world one pink tutu at a time. This might sound crazy, but here’s the story…
Back in my university days, I studied science. It’s hard to imagine now, I actually used to spend most of my days working in a lab, wearing white coats, and measuring all sorts of weird things about materials and fabrics. That was my daytime life, all serious and very much practical. You can see why I wanted a serious alter ego and a fun outlet, so in the evenings I would ditch the white coat and transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles, ready to entertain.
As a university student, I needed a little something to get my creative juices flowing in a world filled with math and statistics! And there was a brilliant little club on campus: The University Ballet Club! It was filled with such lovely and inspiring people - the friends I made are still some of my very best today. One day I decided to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. There was a charity event - and a box of tutus they needed to sell, just to help raise some money. The club was short on volunteers so, it's the kind thing to do - right? I’ll give it a go ! So, there I was trying on tutus in front of a few laughing members - the most outrageous fluffy pink tutu you could imagine. As I looked in the mirror, something clicked. It felt right, a burst of colour and happiness - just the thing I needed! From that day onward it was like a spark had ignited! I knew, this was my calling! From that day onwards - I became obsessed! The pink tutus would start to feature in all my daily life from that day onward - pink tututs became a central theme. The rest is history.
You see darling, pink tututs are more than just a fashion statement, more than a dance costume. For me, it’s about embracing the power of colour and expressing joy and confidence! It's about living life in a more bright and fun way! My mission is to spread this joy, encouraging every single one of you to wear a pink tutu at least once! It might sound crazy but give it a go and tell me what you think.
A Pink Tutu Day to Remember…
And what a fabulous day it’s been. I have loved exploring the seaside, indulging in those amazing fish and chips, and spreading the pink tutu love! Until next time my lovelies, don’t forget to stay sparkly and fabulous.
Lots of love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
P.S I’ve got some more sparkly adventures planned so keep your eyes peeled for more pink tutu fun and fabulousness.
