Hello my gorgeous darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle into your day, straight from the heart of Nuneaton! You might think a little town like Nuneaton wouldn't be my style, but oh honey, you'd be wrong! Today was a dazzling adventure that proves you can find joy and glamour anywhere, even in the most unexpected corners of the world.
My journey started this morning with a delightful train ride from Derbyshire. It was the kind of train journey that allows for a little window-gazing, a quick flick through the latest Vogue (yes, even I can be a bit of a fashionista sometimes), and the all-important perfecting of my look. The journey was as peaceful as a gentle pirouette, with just enough time to let my mind wander to my favourite place – the ballet.
Today, Nuneaton had something very special waiting for me. Now, I can't give away all my secrets, but let's just say that a rather elegant dance school contacted me and said "Pink Tutu, we need your fabulousness!" Now, I may be known for my on-stage persona, but I'm also a bit of a ballet enthusiast, so a chance to visit a dance school was irresistible. It just screamed "Pink Tutu" - what's a pink tutu wearing drag queen to do but show up with her sparkle-covered boots and bewitching smile?
And it was a joy to watch the next generation of dancers in action. Their energy, their grace, the pure dedication in their eyes... it all just reminds me how lucky I am to follow my dreams. To have my passion be my work? Truly, there's no greater blessing.
But even on a day dedicated to ballet, I always find a way to weave a little fashion into the mix. You see, darling, a girl's gotta stay stylish, and even a pink tutu can only get you so far! (But honestly, it can get you surprisingly far!). So, I stopped by a charming little vintage clothing store and emerged with a beautiful emerald green hat that was begging to be paired with a hot pink feather boa. Who needs a crown when you have such magnificent headwear, right?
The afternoon was filled with a whole lot of laughs and a whirlwind of delightful moments. It was as if the universe had decided to bless me with the most perfect day: pink tutus, dancing, fashion, and maybe a touch of magic sprinkled on top. But then again, every day with a pink tutu is pretty magical, don't you think?
I know it's not the most glamorous spot in the world, but Nuneaton held some amazing things for me. A pink tutu wearing queen needs a little fun every now and then! And just as the sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in a million shades of pink (well, almost a million), I knew I had to share the love with my Nuneaton family.
So, here’s what I learned today, dear reader: don’t be afraid to explore, to find the sparkle in even the most ordinary places. Because honey, even Nuneaton is a perfect backdrop for a Pink Tutu adventure. I hope you'll join me tomorrow for another burst of glitter and joy! Until then,
Keep shining,

About Alex & Pink Tutu Sparkles
You'll be forgiven for being surprised at a glamorous drag queen like me emerging from a lab! As Alex, I work day-to-day as a scientist in a fabric testing laboratory - a far cry from the sequin-studded life I lead in the evenings! But you know, there’s something about fabric – it's got its own personality! And besides, you need a touch of scientific knowledge to master the art of getting a tutu to hold its shape on the stage.
I have to confess that I'm quite a reserved, quiet sort of person as Alex! But put on a pink tutu and the stage persona takes over, the lights and the applause are like an adrenaline shot! I discovered drag almost by chance. I was studying for my science degree when our uni ballet club needed some volunteers to dress up for a charity event. You’ve probably heard this story a million times but it’s the absolute truth - I saw this fluffy pink tutu and something just clicked in me, the whole “sparkle-queen” came out. The rest, as they say, is history!
Since then, my aim is to get as many people as possible in the world to wear a pink tutu - to spread joy and laughter. It's something that fills my heart with absolute happiness. So many people tell me how much they love my posts! Even those who wouldn't think they would find a connection with a drag queen like myself! It is all about breaking down barriers, spreading positivity and just embracing who you are.

Alex's Style Advice
Fashion's an amazing thing - it allows you to express your individuality, to put your best foot forward, and maybe even to be a bit daring! I love seeing people embrace their personal style, even when it pushes the boundaries. So today, I wanted to share a few tips with you - some fun style advice that maybe even a pink tutu loving drag queen can impart to her readers.
*Keep it Pink! It’s like my little motto. But pink isn't about gender. Pink isn't about what other people think, It’s about love. Pink is a symbol of happiness, optimism, and even a touch of mischief! That's why pink is one of my favourite colours and why it is part of my signature style - a celebration of everything fun, fabulous, and free. If you love the color pink, embrace it, and let it shine! Pink for life!
*Layer your outfits A layer of tulle, a feather boa, a bit of velvet... a tutu wearing queen has to make an impression! But in real life, you can achieve a similar effect by playing with textures and shapes - a chic coat thrown over a silky dress, a vintage cardigan paired with some high-waisted trousers... and of course, a little sparkly accessory never hurt anybody!
Think Outside the Box! What does your inner sparkle tell you? My wardrobe isn't full of just tutus! Even though you will never find me without one close by, I love experimenting! The key to fabulous fashion, is letting your personality dictate the style, not the other way around. Wear what makes you feel good, and wear it with confidence!
And one final tip... never forget to be yourself! Life’s too short to be anyone else!
