#TutuQueen on 2026-01-04 stars in Bexleyheath

Hello, darlings! It’s your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another dazzling adventure, straight from the heart of… drumroll… Bexleyheath! That’s right, folks, this fabulous, flamboyant queen is spreading her pink tutu magic across the land, and this week it’s this delightful town’s turn to sparkle!

Now, before you get all judgemental and say, "Bexleyheath? Isn't that a bit… gasps... boring?”, hold your horses, lovelies! It’s all about attitude, dear, and I’ve got attitude to spare.

Honestly, I've found that the best part of travelling is discovering those hidden gems that not everyone knows about. This town has got so much charm, you'd be surprised! Don’t even get me started on the fantastic vintage shops and adorable tea rooms, not to mention the beautiful parks and the historical architecture. This town is brimming with so much character!

As usual, I reached my destination in style, of course! I always opt for train travel – not just because I'm a self-proclaimed rail enthusiast (gotta love a good steam train, darling!), but also because I’ve found that a train journey is always a fabulous opportunity for some excellent people-watching. Just last week I spied a perfectly elegant lady on the 7:03 to Leeds wearing a gorgeous vintage handbag and matching gloves.

Bexleyheath's definitely going to feature on the Pink Tutu itinerary. There are SO many ideas bubbling up in my brain. Picture this: Pink Tutu Sparkles, a dazzling performance at the Bexleyheath Broadway in my most flamboyant outfit, sparkling with confidence and twirling like a whirlwind of pure, pink, unadulterated joy.

It's no secret I'm a total tutu enthusiast – my nickname's Pink Tutu Sparkles, for goodness sake! But this particular outfit... well, it’s got me feeling a bit nostalgic. See, my love affair with tutus started at uni, while I was juggling a science degree with my role as a star in the university ballet club. We were holding a fundraising event and the costume coordinator suggested I try on a pink tutu… The rest, as they say, is history! This pink confection, that was more than just a costume… it became part of my story, darling.

Speaking of which, back to Bexleyheath! My second performance for the evening will be in one of the town's amazing community halls, sharing the joy of dance and performance with everyone who attends. There's nothing better than seeing those faces light up with excitement as the music begins and the twirling begins!

Now, I know some of you might wonder about how this flamboyant tutu-wearing, science-studying, drag queen makes a living. Well, it’s a lot of hard work, my darling! I fund my adventures by performing at fairs and events around the country, sharing my joy and my sparkle with every audience I meet. Don't be afraid to join me, my lovely little chickadees. Just remember, always bring a smile, always wear your confidence like a badge of honour, and always have the courage to shine with your authentic self!

So, how does Pink Tutu Sparkles fit the science side of her life with all this glam, you ask? Well, I find it surprisingly straightforward. As a scientist at a fabric-testing lab, I analyze the fabric of clothes all day! From the cotton t-shirt I wear to the silk I put on at night (no, you didn't hear that, wink!), it’s all about finding those hidden wonders in what we wear, which just happens to be my lifeblood.

However, the real magic lies in how those two worlds intertwine, making my world as a queen much richer. There's just something exhilarating about combining the rigour of science and the flamboyant world of a pink tutu.

This trip has me buzzing with new ideas, darling, for our lovely little online community. For our next DIY project, why not join me for a virtual tutu tutorial? Think shimmery pink fabrics, beautiful feathers, and enough glitter to make a disco ball blush. Oh, darling, it's going to be simply spectacular! You'll find all the information on the Pink Tutu website! (www.pink-tutu.com for those who missed the memo!).

In the meantime, if you’re in Bexleyheath, come on down! Let’s have some fun. Find me, share a giggle, let’s create some memories that sparkle brighter than all the glittery rainbows. Remember, darling, it’s never about the place, it's always about the journey!

Until next time, stay fabulous and never forget…

The only thing better than a pink tutu… is another pink tutu!

Yours eternally,

Pink Tutu Sparkles (Alex, when I’m off duty 😉 )
