#TutuQueen on 2025-04-21 stars in Bexleyheath

Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to share the whirlwind of sparkle and tutus that was my latest adventure in the fabulous town of Bexleyheath. It's hard to believe it's already post number 9243 – it feels like just yesterday I was a Derbyshire farm girl dreaming of pink tutus and twirling through life. Now, here I am, a seasoned drag artist, galloping across the countryside by train (yes, the railway tracks were looking particularly good in a delicate shade of lavender this time!) towards my latest destination! And let me tell you, Bexleyheath, you certainly did not disappoint!

This week, darling, I've had a lot going on. Between trying on every pink tutu in the shop on the High Street and planning my performance at the Bexleyheath Town Fair, my life has been a whirl of sequins and feathers. My little heart is overflowing with gratitude for this fantastic opportunity to bring a bit of pink tutu magic to this lovely corner of Kent.

But before I spill the tea on the show itself, let me take you on a delightful journey through my Bexleyheath escapade! After a fab train journey with some lovely chaps in pink trilby hats (did they not just scream "fashionable Londoner"?) I checked into a gorgeous bed and breakfast, decked out with floral wallpaper and the most divine set of china teacups I've ever seen! My heart nearly burst with joy - it was just so delightfully old fashioned and utterly charming, a bit like my own flamboyant, twirling personality. Of course, I had to wear my pink tutu as I sauntered into the town centre, because it's always important to wear the look wherever you go! It’s like I'm always on a fashion catwalk, and this sweet little town deserved a proper entrance!

Bexleyheath is so pretty, it almost hurts. Imagine cobblestone streets with shops tucked into charming Victorian-era buildings – it's like stepping into a period drama! And it's brimming with history too. You know me, I can't resist a trip to the local museum, and the Bexleyheath Museum did not disappoint. I got to admire an amazing collection of old clocks and antique jewellery - seriously, it made me feel like a princess exploring the depths of a glittering treasure trove. Plus, there was an exhibit dedicated to the history of dancing! Talk about a perfect day for a tutu enthusiast.

Now, here's a secret: I love historical buildings. I know they may not be the most exciting to everyone, but give me an ancient chapel or a stately home, and I'm in my element. Luckily, Bexleyheath doesn't disappoint in that regard. I spent hours wandering the grounds of the spectacular Danson House - it’s like stepping into an ancient storybook! It’s simply breathtaking – all the charm of a stately manor and a whole bunch of history crammed in there, plus some magnificent rose gardens which practically beg to be twirled in! (If I wasn't wearing a full pink tutu at the time, I totally would have done it!) But my favourite part? I got to climb the stairs to the highest tower! You could see the whole of Bexleyheath, the glittering Thames shimmering in the distance…it was the most magnificent sight! I nearly danced on the roof!

Speaking of dancing, Bexleyheath doesn’t disappoint on the dance floor! My first stop had to be the local dance studio! Now, I might be a seasoned pro in the world of drag performance, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like a good old-fashioned ballet class! They were incredibly welcoming there! A lovely lady named Sheila even gave me a proper goss on all the best local dance halls and theatre spaces. She even agreed to watch my act at the Town Fair! Sheila was thrilled to see a tutu like mine outside of a ballet class - we spent hours talking about all our favorite ballet stories! Honestly, you couldn't get a more wonderful, supportive group of ladies - I highly recommend a class if you're ever in Bexleyheath. They have a fantastic beginner class if you are a tutu enthusiast but want to learn some actual proper ballet.

Speaking of the Town Fair, it was a riot of fun and festivities! You wouldn’t believe the incredible turnout - the place was bursting with families, laughter and music! I even saw a couple wearing matching pink tutus, although admittedly, theirs were more on the 'practical' side than my usual 'eye-catching' number, which was the perfect excuse to start my own pink tutu promotion campaign - and everyone I saw loved it! It was like a little ballet fairytale with extra glitter!

Before I kicked off my performance, I couldn't possibly miss the fairground fun! Honestly, there's nothing like the joy of a spinning teacup ride! And let me tell you, the Ferris wheel gave me a whole new appreciation for the beautiful views of the town – talk about breathtaking! It felt so amazing being able to twirl through the air in my gorgeous pink tutu, taking in the views from high above the town - it was pure magic! It almost made me feel like I was dancing across the clouds!

And speaking of magic, darling, the time finally came to showcase my skills! The fair had this wonderful little stage, and I've never seen a stage decked out in such pretty lights! Pink and purple neon with a touch of golden sparkle - utterly fabulous! It really set the mood for my performance and the crowd was amazing! I had so much fun interacting with the lovely folks there – the laughter, the smiles, the energy! It really brought a whole new layer of excitement to the event. And everyone was wearing pink! It was honestly so lovely to see that spirit of playful optimism embraced by the whole crowd! The people were incredibly kind and loving. A little boy named James even tried to do the "pink tutu twirl" after my show - he wasn’t as graceful as me (don't be silly, we’re all still working on our pink tutu walk! He needs some lessons from the Tutu Queen herself!), but he sure did give it a good go, and that, darling, is what truly made my night.

And that's the thing, you see? It’s about sharing that joy and optimism, encouraging people to be themselves, and most importantly, embracing a little bit of pink tutu magic in every aspect of life! It’s about reminding everyone that it's ok to be bold, to twirl and shine in your own special way, no matter what. You know, as much as I adore strutting about in my fabulous outfits, it's not really about the glitter and sequins - it’s about the happiness, the energy and the ability to bring a smile to every face I see! I mean, it's seriously contagious - who can resist a little bit of sparkle?!

Of course, I can’t go without reminding everyone of the reason behind all this pink tutu-infused happiness, my very special mission: I aim to inspire every single person to wear a pink tutu! It’s a noble cause, darling, one I’ve dedicated my entire life to - I know it may seem a bit crazy, but who said dreams need to be sensible?! And this whole town embraced the message wholeheartedly! It’s absolutely infectious, this desire to embrace colour, sparkle, and the magic of pink!

Bexleyheath was a delight, a beautiful town filled with warm people, incredible food (that fish and chips was top notch!), and even more importantly, a generous spirit to embrace my silly but oh-so-special pink tutu mission! You can follow the journey on my site, www.pink-tutu.com, and share your pink tutu story using the hashtag #TutuQueen – let's create a wave of pink sparkle that will spread across the world!

Until next time darlings, I bid you farewell with a twirl, a giggle, and a whole lotta sparkle!

Love,

Pink Tutu Sparkles.
