Hello, my darling darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, your favourite fuchsia-fabulous fashionista, ready to whisk you away on a whimsical journey to the enchanting town of Huyton!
This is post number 9237, and believe me, every single one of these posts is overflowing with pink, tutus, and a dash of glittery glamour. My journey to Huyton was, of course, a little unconventional – I'm a drag queen on a budget, remember? So, naturally, I opted for the romance of a train journey, gazing out of the window with my head in the clouds (and, well, a gorgeous pink feather boa around my neck!).
It all started with a tiny seed of inspiration – an invitation to perform at the Huyton Flower Show! I mean, flowers and pink tutus? It was a match made in heaven! But even the most glamorous queen can't forget the practicalities – I had to squeeze my enormous wardrobe of sparkly delights into a rather un-sparkly suitcase, with room for the ever-essential pink tulle fan, glitter, and a few strategic sparkly safety pins!
Reaching Huyton station, I couldn't help but feel a little bit like a fairy princess stepping out of a fairytale. It was so quaint! As I stepped off the platform, I realised I needed to put on a little pre-performance show. A dramatic pose, a flash of sequins, and a little "Bonjour, Huyton!" delivered with extra flourish - just the kind of pink magic my audiences love!
Speaking of audiences, I was eager to see who would be gathered at the Flower Show! After all, my dream is to have the whole world wearing a pink tutu – and what better place to start than with the lovely folk of Huyton, surrounded by vibrant flowers and joyous celebrations?
My walk to the Flower Show felt like a scene from a vintage film - imagine me twirling down the cobbled streets of Huyton in a voluminous tulle skirt, stopping to chat with delighted locals who asked me where I was going! A few even asked for a photo. I always try to make the most of every situation – the magic of drag, you know!
Arriving at the show, I was absolutely floored! There were colourful flower arrangements as far as the eye could see. But wait for it… I even saw a few pink tutus! Some on display, some on children playing about, and one brave young man was even wearing a fabulous, sequined pink tutu, with a twinkle in his eye.
Of course, as Pink Tutu Sparkles, I just had to join in the festivities. So, I did what I do best - put on a dazzling performance for everyone to enjoy! The little ones in the audience were mesmerised, the mums and dads chuckled with delight, and even a couple of grannies swayed to my song. I knew then that I had made it - Pink Tutu Sparkles had touched the hearts of Huyton!
But the fun wasn't over yet. After the show, I took a trip into town, feeling the warm Huyton atmosphere buzzing all around me. My favourite discovery? A delightful tea shop tucked away down a quiet lane! "Pink Flamingo's Tea Room," it proclaimed. Could it be? Was this a sign? Did they even need my encouragement? With a twinkle in my eye, I slipped into the shop, eager to get a taste of their tea and to inspire even more people with the pink-tutu magic!
Of course, I took my Pink Flamingo experience to Instagram! It was impossible to resist!

Huyton, you have stolen my heart! And before you think my visit was all glitter and sparkles, I'm also quite the practical queen. Did you know, I love learning new things and Huyton is quite the town for historical discoveries.
A wander through Huyton’s history wasn't just about tutus! A trip to Huyton's charming museum revealed its intriguing connection to the history of printing, and a visit to Huyton's impressive church revealed a remarkable story of community resilience. A great reminder that there’s a lot of magic in the mundane too, something to consider as you put on your own pink tutus.
Oh, the pink tutus. The whole reason for my trip. After spending a fabulous afternoon with the local people, spreading some much-needed glitter and sunshine, it felt only natural to share my pink tutu knowledge. I popped into the local fabric shop with a bright pink bow tied in my hair, and my heart skipped a beat. You know what I found? A whole aisle dedicated to tulle fabric in every colour you can imagine! Of course, I bought a mountain of the stuff to help create a Huyton pink tutu storm!
By the time I caught the train home, I was bursting with excitement. I just couldn’t wait to tell everyone about my adventure – about the lovely locals of Huyton, the magical atmosphere, and the amazing pink tulle discoveries I made. You see, spreading the joy of pink tutus is what I'm all about – it’s like spreading a little bit of sparkle everywhere I go!
And I know this is just the beginning! There’s so much more I want to share, so much more magic I want to sprinkle over this amazing world of ours! You know where to find me!
Don’t forget to keep those tutu dreams big, beautiful and, yes, definitely pink! ✨💕
Your ever-fabulous, Pink Tutu Sparkles
