#TutuQueen on 2023-03-10 stars in Ecclesfield

Oh darlings! Can you believe it’s already March? Time absolutely flies when you’re twirling in a pink tutu, don’t you think? This month’s been a whirlwind of glitter, train journeys, and of course, copious amounts of pink! I’m here today, fresh off the train and bursting with excitement to tell you all about my recent adventure in Ecclesfield!

Ecclesfield, for those who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting, is a quaint and charming town nestled in the heart of South Yorkshire. It’s the perfect mix of charming streets lined with independent shops, bustling market stalls overflowing with local delights, and enough greenery to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. Of course, the main attraction for a pink-loving queen like me is the gorgeous theatre nestled right in the town centre.

But first, let’s talk trains! I absolutely adore train journeys. There’s something about watching the world whiz by, feeling the gentle sway of the carriage, and sipping on a warm cup of tea (always with a pink sugar sachet, darling!) that just fills me with a sense of pure joy. On my trip to Ecclesfield, I had a glorious view of the rolling green hills of Derbyshire – where my heart belongs, of course! I must admit, I did catch myself staring longingly out of the window, wondering when the train might be overtaken by a majestic white stallion – wouldn’t that be an incredible way to travel?!

But back to Ecclesfield! I had a date with the theatre, you see. The reason? The exquisite performance of the ‘Nutcracker Suite’ by the Ecclesfield Ballet Company! They’re an up-and-coming group of incredibly talented young dancers, and their passion truly shines through in every pirouette and grand jeté. It was absolutely mesmerising!

To say I was in my element is a bit of an understatement, lovelies. The sheer joy and spectacle of the ballet were enough to make this queen's heart soar. There were stunning costumes, intricate choreography, and just enough sparkles to dazzle even the most jaded eye. Not to mention the fabulous ballerina-inspired outfits I donned for the occasion, my newest tulle creation in a shade of blush pink that would make even the most timid rose jealous!

My visit to Ecclesfield wasn’t all about tutus and the ballet though. As I always say, “A queen needs sustenance, darlings!” After the ballet, I strolled around the market, where I sampled some of the most delicious local cheeses (yum!), found the perfect handmade pink pottery dish for my growing collection, and of course, indulged in a massive scoop of strawberry and pink meringue ice cream. Oh, the life of a pink-loving, tutu-wearing queen!

I couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures, of course, for my dear followers! It wouldn’t be a true Pink Tutu Sparkles adventure without sharing all the gorgeous details. So, keep an eye on my social media pages, my loves! You’ll be treated to all the glittery highlights. You might even spot a surprise pink tutu moment, because a little touch of pink can brighten up any day!

The real reason I was in Ecclesfield though was to give my latest creation, a pink tutu with a whole rainbow of embroidered stars, its debut. I always get nervous, darling! My act always has an intro where I emerge in a billowing black cloak and then whip it away in one quick, theatrical move to reveal the latest outfit. The audience went wild! And of course, everyone has been messaging me to say it was just amazing!

I had so much fun performing my act in the centre of the town. And a huge thanks to the organisers for all the effort they put in, not only did they find a location that would let me use their fabulous new gazebo but they helped me spread pink tulle all over the floor.

Now, before I finish off my cup of pink herbal tea, I want to talk to you, dear reader. This whole pink tutu adventure isn’t about me, It’s about making the world a little bit more glamorous! I encourage you to embrace the pink, unleash your inner sparkle, and don your own tutu. Trust me, darlings, you’ll never regret it.

But don’t be scared! If wearing a pink tutu is too bold a move, don’t worry, you can always incorporate just a touch of pink into your wardrobe! Maybe try a pair of pink earrings, a vibrant scarf, a fun pink clutch bag… Or even a simple pink nail polish can bring out your inner sparkly queen.

Because let’s face it, pink is the colour of joy, optimism, and creativity. It's about celebrating the little things, the fun things, the beautiful things in life. So, let your flag fly, darlings! Embrace your individuality and the world with a twinkle in your eye, and, most importantly, wear a little pink, for yourself!

Keep those pink tutus twirling, my loves! I’ll be back tomorrow with another fabulous adventure – keep your eyes peeled for a sparkly surprise!

XOXO, Pink Tutu Sparkles (Alex in the real world, of course)
