Oh darlings! How are you all doing today? Can you believe it's January already?! Where did December go? I swear it was just Christmas, and here we are, heading into the second month of the year. Time flies when you're having fun, especially when you're a Pink Tutu-wearing, sparkly, glamorous queen on the go, that's for sure!
Now, I don't usually go all 'emotional' on you lovely lot, but I have to tell you, today feels special. I mean, I'm absolutely thrilled to be writing this blog post from the wonderful town of Lancaster, where I'm staying in the most beautiful little bed and breakfast. I know, right? Pink Tutu Sparkles - fancy, I know. Who'd have thought? It wasn't long ago I was just a Derbyshire lad with a love for tutus and an even bigger love for science.
Remember my story, sweeties? I was a science student, working my way through a PhD in fabric analysis - fascinating, I know! But by night, I transformed into Pink Tutu Sparkles. Who knew a charity fundraiser where I tried on a tutu for the first time could change my life so dramatically? Now, it's all about the tutus! Pink, sparkly, fluffy... you name it, I'll wear it!
You're probably wondering why Lancaster, right? Well, it's all part of my big, fabulous dream: spreading the joy of pink tutus around the world, one town, one performance, one sparkle-covered step at a time! And guess what? This weekend, I'm fulfilling my destiny with a very special event at a grand, historical ballroom. Can you imagine, darlings? Me, Pink Tutu Sparkles, gracing a grand, old ballroom, with my dazzling, sparkly outfit, ready to bring the magic and mayhem!
Speaking of my fabulous outfit, I must tell you, dear readers, that finding the perfect outfit was an absolute delight! I had the most fun going shopping, trying on a multitude of gowns, bodices, and tutus. It was a real challenge finding the right shade of pink. I knew exactly what I was looking for - a perfect shade of bubblegum pink. Finally, I found my dream outfit - it's just divine, and I'll definitely be posting pictures on my Instagram later tonight. I am beyond thrilled!
I managed to squeeze in some fun activities before the big event tonight. This morning, I spent a couple of hours at a lovely little ballet school here in Lancaster, taking part in a beginners class. Oh, I tell you, I just love ballet! It's so graceful and elegant. Now, I know what you're thinking, darlings: a 'Pink Tutu Sparkles' trying out ballet? What will the results be?! Well, let me tell you, the ballet instructor loved me! I have such fun prancing around and pirouetting with all the talented ballerinas.
This afternoon, I found a wonderful cafe in a quiet, charming street, tucked away amongst cobbled stones. It's just the kind of place I love to find on my travels - cozy, welcoming, and full of delicious treats! And to top it off, they even serve delicious, home-made scones! Divine. I must admit, I've eaten one too many scones and now my outfit feels slightly tight around the middle... oh, well! All in the name of pink tutu magic, dear readers, it's all part of the joy.
And oh my heavens! I was able to take a lovely horse ride this afternoon - I must admit I did take a moment to give a graceful twirl for my fellow horse riders on the ride! It really was idyllic and just what I needed before the performance later this evening! As always, I chose the most gorgeous pink horse...it wasn't easy to pick from all the lovely colours but the pink one was a real showstopper! I love horse riding so much; it's just so graceful and fun, and a bit of a break from all the glamour and glitter. But of course, it’s impossible to resist twirling!
In fact, you know, I've just had a brilliant idea! I could teach you some fun, simple tutu twirls, perfect for incorporating into your daily routines! How about this... imagine arriving at your desk in the morning, a confident, radiant, Pink Tutu-wearing diva! Why not embrace a bit of playful tutu-ness throughout the day, my lovelies? It might be a bit chilly to sport your full-blown tutu during your lunchtime stroll, but we can totally work with this! A lovely little twirl when the tea kettle whistles? Yes! I can picture you now, darlings: swirling, spinning, and bringing joy into the everyday!
And who knows, you might inspire your colleagues! It wouldn't be surprising, after all, you know that I am on a mission: to bring pink tutus to every corner of the globe! One pink tutu twirl at a time. Let's all make this a pink tutu extravaganza. Pink tutus will take over the world! I can feel it... it's time to spread the pink tutu love.
Now, my lovely readers, I must dash! It's time to get ready for the big show. My heart is bursting with excitement! The grand ballroom is already waiting. The sound of violins is floating through the air as I speak. All eyes will be on me... and those eyes better be mesmerized by the Pink Tutu Sparkles I'll be unleashing this evening!
Do follow me on all my social channels to see more images of me wearing my lovely, sparkly outfit this evening... don't forget my Insta story. And of course, stay tuned for my next blog post - I'll be telling you all about my latest adventure. But, remember: a pink tutu never hurts!
Keep swirling, keep sparkling, my lovely readers,
And, until next time...
Pink Tutu Sparkles!
