Leicester Calling: Pink Tutu Sparkles is Back in the Saddle (or Should I Say, on the Train?)!

Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you the hottest scoop from my latest adventure! This week I'm channeling my inner ballerina and jetting off to Leicester! This marks post number 9297 for me on www.pink-tutu.com, so get ready for a double dose of sparkle!

My dear friends, you know I love to travel in style, and this time I opted for a rather splendid train journey! The rhythmic clacking of the wheels on the tracks felt like a waltz for my soul, a fitting preparation for a city famed for its theatrical heritage. Oh, and my fellow travel enthusiasts, I highly recommend window seating - the countryside whizzing by just tickles my fancy!

Speaking of fancy, I had a bit of a rummage through my wardrobe to find the perfect outfit for my journey. Pink, of course, was my primary hue, but I was feeling a little extra today. I decided on a sequined pink vest top with a tulle-sleeved bolero. It wasn’t a tutu, but the fluffy layers and sparkly accents made for a perfect ensemble to complement my signature pink tutu which, as you all know, always makes its grand appearance in every post!

Speaking of grand appearances, Leicester welcomed me with open arms. I have a rather special connection with this city. My first ballet show was here, a dazzling performance of Swan Lake that sparked my lifelong obsession with all things graceful and beautiful. It’s only right that my return to this place should be a bit of a celebratory affair.

And celebrate I will, for I’m not just visiting the city, darlings! I’m performing at a family-friendly gala this weekend! Get ready to laugh, gasp, and tap your feet to the rhythm of my pink-tutu clad performance. Expect magic, mischief, and a whole lot of sparkle!

You all know how much I love my tutus, but my passion goes far beyond just the garments. Ballet, my friends, is a passion that runs deep! So, naturally, I’m sneaking in a quick ballet class on Saturday afternoon, just to get my twirling muscles all warmed up! I mean, what’s a Pink Tutu Sparkle performance without a graceful pirouette? I may not be the next Margot Fonteyn, but I'll try my best to embody that ballet elegance while adding a touch of my own Pink Tutu Sparkles magic.

However, a proper fashionista doesn’t just go to ballet class in her tutu. No no, dear readers, this queen needs to look stylish, even in her casual moments! I’ve spent the day scouting the local boutiques, discovering an amazing independent store tucked away in a hidden lane. They're overflowing with colourful vintage finds, and I managed to snaffle a gorgeous pink polka dot vintage coat - perfect for adding that touch of glam to my Saturday night!

My dear readers, my journey has only just begun, but it’s already bursting with joy, excitement and enough sparkle to illuminate the entire city! Stay tuned for more dazzling delights and behind-the-scenes insights from the heart of Leicester, coming to www.pink-tutu.com every day! I promise you, it’s gonna be a pink-tastic adventure!

Oh, and if you see me on the streets of Leicester, do come and say hello! I'm always thrilled to share my pink-tutu love with my adoring fans!

With all the glitter in my heart,

Pink Tutu Sparkles!


But hold on, dear reader! My story wouldn’t be complete without delving a bit into my past! As a Derbyshire-born lass with a scientific background, I've always been captivated by the fascinating blend of beauty and logic.

My initial path led me through a science degree, and it was there, amongst beakers and bunsen burners, that my love for tutus began! You may think that the world of science and tutus are two completely different spheres, but they’re actually incredibly similar. Both require precision, creativity, and the courage to think outside the box.

Now, let me tell you, my story of pink-tutu-wearing actually began by pure accident! It was a fundraising event for our university ballet club. As an enthusiastic club member, I stepped into a discarded pink tutu, and it was love at first sight! Let’s just say it looked so good, so utterly amazing, that I couldn’t bear to leave it behind. It sparked a transformation - from a lab-dwelling scientist, I evolved into the bubbly, flamboyant Pink Tutu Sparkles.

To this day, my two worlds blend together beautifully. During the day I am a fabric technician, meticulously testing the quality of fabrics in the lab. The intricate structure and chemistry of textile fibers, in a way, parallels the intricate structure and steps of a ballet performance. By night, I turn my world on its side and transform into Pink Tutu Sparkles! My pink tutu takes centre stage, a beacon of my creativity, my enthusiasm, and my commitment to bringing joy and sparkle to the world.

You see, I truly believe that a bit of pink-tutu magic can make a difference in this world. From a simple performance to a random act of kindness, my ultimate aim is to spread this magic far and wide. It’s not about wearing a pink tutu 24/7 (though if you're inclined, by all means, go for it!), it's about embodying the pink-tutu spirit! Let it shine through your kindness, your creativity, your love for life! Let it become a symbol of inclusivity, self-expression, and unapologetic joy!

So there you have it, dear reader, the story of my Pink Tutu Sparkles journey! As we continue to spin and twirl our way through life, let’s embrace our unique talents and never forget to wear our pink tutus – both literally and metaphorically – to the world.

And for now, darlings, I’m off to conquer Leicester with a heart full of pink and sparkle!

Stay pink, stay glamorous, and always remember to shine bright,

Pink Tutu Sparkles x
