Oh darling, darlings! It's your fabulous, pink-loving, tutu-wearing, time-traveling friend Emma here, ready to take you on a magical trip back to 11th November 2012! Grab your sequined fanny packs and a sparkly hair scrunchie, because this journey is going to be a glittering ride!
Now, this day holds a special place in my heart, not just for the glorious glitter of a time gone by, but for a very special, disco-themed, drag show in the heart of New York City! You see, darling, I absolutely adore the way that drag seamlessly blends historical style and cutting edge fashion. There's nothing quite like watching a drag queen reinvent a vintage outfit, breathing new life into forgotten styles with modern-day flair!
This particular show was all about the vibrant, audacious energy of the disco era! I mean, we're talking shimmering platform shoes, bell bottoms that would make even John Travolta blush, and feathers that were begging to be shimmied and shaken! Imagine all the glitz and glamour of a discotheque, wrapped up in the captivating world of drag – pure magic, I tell you!
Of course, the highlight of the evening was the finale – an explosion of colour, sound, and fabulousness that left the audience roaring for more! They threw glitter into the air, cheered with wild abandon, and the entire room pulsated with that iconic disco vibe! I danced, I sang, and I even found a lovely gentleman to tango with!
Now, speaking of the show, we have to talk about the costumes. Imagine shimmering sequin dresses in a kaleidoscope of colours, from emerald green to cerise pink. They were like walking disco balls, bouncing light and catching your eye in a dazzling way. Not to mention the bold, graphic make-up that accentuated the contours of the queens' faces - a touch of shimmer here, a splash of colour there, all finished with a slick of gloss that was practically screaming 'disco diva'!.
But enough about my wonderful disco adventure! There were other things happening in the world of drag back on that day! Let me tell you, honey, the scene was buzzing, the drag was fantastic, and it's no surprise that a little ol' time-traveling girl like me found herself caught up in the magic!
Here's a snippet of what I found happening on 11th November 2012, in my whirlwind journey across the globe:
The legendary 'RuPaul's Drag Race' was in full swing in its 4th season! The world was glued to their screens watching some of the most iconic queens battle it out for the coveted title.
'Wigstock' in New York City was about to get into full swing! A tradition that is as old as drag itself, Wigstock celebrates a day of pure drag excellence in its all its camp, comedic, and gloriously fabulous glory. If you’ve ever wondered where to get your glitter on in New York, look no further than this glorious annual event.
The iconic 'Drag Nation' event, celebrating all things drag in a truly unique and inclusive manner, was gearing up to rock Chicago, Illinois! Drag Nation is a powerhouse event, attracting some of the biggest names in the world of drag and celebrating its evolution in such a vibrant way!
So there you have it, darlings! The world of drag was truly abuzz with excitement on the 11th of November, 2012! A day filled with spectacular shows, captivating fashion, and a healthy dose of glitter – everything a glamorous queen like me could ever wish for! And, I can't stress this enough, remember: if you ever feel down, remember there is always something to celebrate in the wonderful world of drag. We are a community of strength, joy, and boundless expression!
Oh, and don't forget – keep rocking your tutus, my dear readers! Every time you embrace a pink tutu, you are spreading a little bit of that sparkly, feminine magic into the world. Because let's face it, darling, life is just too short for anything less than dazzling!
