Hello, my gorgeous darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, fresh from a fabulous weekend in Westhoughton! Itās been a while since Iāve had the pleasure of gracing a stage in Lancashire, and it really was a breath of fresh air. I was positively giddy to see all the lovely faces and get to dance to my heart's content!
This whole journey started, you see, with a little pink tutu. A spark, if you will. Back in my university days, a girl after my own heart, she convinced me to try on a pink tutu for a charity event. It was the moment my life changed, folks! It was likeā¦well, imagine a tiny pink tutu fairy landing on my head, sprinkling magic dust and whispering āYou were made for this.ā (Perhaps a bit dramatic? wink).
Of course, I didn't immediately chuck in my science degree and start touring in a pink tutu. Nope. But, I couldn't help but twirl. And by twirl, I mean joined the university ballet club! There was this magic, this sheer joy, in moving, in spinning, in becoming one with the fabric. And the fabric? Pink, naturally! So, while by day Iām in the lab, testing the fabric of, well, fabrics (itās a bit less glamorous than youād think), by nightā¦ well, let's just say the world gets a little brighter, a little pinker, thanks to your truly.
And how does a pink-loving, tutu-obsessed girl like me get to travel the country, spreading her message of joy and sparkly joy? By drag, of course! Oh, itās been an absolute whirlwind of glitter, laughter, and, yes, some well-timed jumps! Every fairground, every festival, every venue thatāll have me ā Iām there, spinning, singing, spreading the pink love!
Trainspotting Tutu Queen
Westhoughton, oh my sweet, darling, I must confess, I came by train. Trains have a special place in my heart, wouldnāt you agree? Thereās a kind of poetry in watching the world zoom past the window, the landscape changing with every mile. And I can indulge my inner ballerina on the journey, twirling in the aisle, naturally with proper safety in mind ā no worries, my dears, I know my limits! laughs
But there was a bit of a hitch this time! Turns out, my chosen journey involved a spot ofā¦ horse riding! gasp Now, darling, I wouldnāt recommend this for everyone, unless youāre comfortable with a little āhoovesā action. But the farmer's wife, who owns the most amazing stables, needed a hand with deliveries. Of course, I, the kind-hearted queen that I am, volunteered. Now, if you ask me, wearing a pink tutu while riding side saddle ā whatās not to love?! (Ok, maybe it's a bit more challenging in practice than it is in theory! Letās just say, a little āadjustmentā was needed on my partā¦ winks ). But let's be honest, this whole journey, from the bustling train station to the farmerās fields, was an adventure worthy of Pink Tutu Sparkles, wouldn't you agree?
* Westhoughton Woes (Or Not!) *
Westhoughton turned out to be an absolute delight! Such a beautiful town, full of friendly faces and, thankfully, plenty of shops to satisfy my pink obsession! From delicate pastel cardigans to those outrageously flamboyant statement necklaces, I simply couldn't resist! And I mean, if you see something pink and fabulousā¦ you have to try it on!
My time in Westhoughton was truly an enchanting dance, a perfect blend of local charm, a sprinkle of theatrics, and just a dash of that Pink Tutu Sparkle magic. From my whirlwind adventure on the train and horse-drawn carriage to the grand stage entrance (and a whole lot of glittery twirling, naturally!), every moment felt magical. I feel truly blessed to be able to share this love of dance, this love of pink, and of course, my very own unique flair for life with the world.
Until next time, remember to always embrace the joy, let your inner ballerina shine, and above all else, embrace your unique beauty, darling.
Pink love always,
Pink Tutu Sparkles.
XOXO
