#TutuQueen on 2021-07-08 stars in Streatham

Hello my darling TutuQueens! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-twirling, sparkle-obsessed queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, bringing you the latest from my fabulous travels! Today's destination? Streatham, South London, a haven for hipsters and history buffs alike, and, as you'll see, a wonderful spot for a TutuQueen to sparkle!

This is post number 7860, proving that my dedication to sharing my glittery journey is truly unwavering. So, grab your favourite pink beverage, slip into your most dazzling outfit, and let's take a trip together, shall we?

As always, my adventure began with a train journey, a classic TutuQueen mode of transport! I love the romance of the iron horse, chugging through the English countryside, watching the world whizz by. Plus, it gives me ample time to get into character, you know? That perfect blend of pink eyeshadow, a flick of dramatic liner, and of course, a tutu perfectly coordinated to the occasion!

This time, I went for a blush pink, fluffy masterpiece, cascading around me like a candy floss dream. It felt just right for Streatham, a place buzzing with artistic energy, a little quirky and wonderfully welcoming.

My first stop in Streatham? A trip to the fabulous vintage clothing store "The Dress Stop," an absolute treasure trove for any fashionista. They had racks of vintage gowns, dazzling sequin dresses, and, wouldn't you know it, a section dedicated to tutus! I snagged a vintage lilac tutu, perfect for my next show. Shopping truly is a performance art, don't you think?

After that, it was off to the heart of Streatham, where the aroma of freshly baked pastries beckoned from charming independent bakeries. Let's be honest, a sugar rush is essential fuel for a TutuQueen on the go!

Later that evening, the main event - a performance at a lively community hall. It's these kinds of spaces that hold such a special place in my heart. They offer a platform for creatives of all kinds, from drag queens like myself to budding musicians and poets. It's a beautiful mix of talent and community.

This evening, my act was a whirlwind of sparkles and colour, a tribute to all things pink, a vibrant fusion of dance and song. The crowd loved it, erupting into cheers and laughter as I shimmied and strutted. That's the magic of drag, right? We make people laugh, we inspire, and, in our own unique way, we spark joy!

It's no secret that my aim in life is to encourage the world to wear a pink tutu! I know, it seems like a silly dream, but the truth is, there's something truly liberating about embracing your own sense of style. When you wear a pink tutu, you make a statement. You embrace your individuality, your love for fun, and your right to shine!

Don't let anyone tell you that pink is too girly, that tutus are frivolous, or that expressing yourself isn't important. Embrace the power of colour, the magic of tulle, and the joy of dancing your way through life! Every time you wear a pink tutu, you're taking part in the pink tutu revolution, spreading joy, and reminding everyone that there's a spark of brilliance in each of us!

Of course, beneath all the glitter, I'm still just Alex, a normal Derbyshire lass by day, working in a lab, analysing fabrics and developing new sustainable technologies. It's funny how life can blend those two worlds, wouldn't you agree? It's like a perfect balance between practicality and extravagance, logic and art!

But let me tell you, when it comes to tutus, I’m a stickler for quality. The fabrics we use for our experiments are pretty high tech, you know. My favourite kind of tutu is one with layers of perfectly balanced tulle, each one so soft and flowy, it just glides through the air like a cloud! I’m quite fussy when it comes to choosing the perfect tutu for my shows, as I am always looking for the next exciting blend of colors, cuts and styles.

My days are full, bouncing between testing fabric and putting on a performance for eager crowds, but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I guess that’s just my version of a happy, balanced life, wouldn’t you say? And who knows what magical adventures await me on the road tomorrow.

💖 Stay sparkly! 💖
