A Blast From the Past: November 2021
First things first, my lovelies, the world was still coming to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2021. But even during a global crisis, the drag scene continued to thrive! It was a month overflowing with glorious events, shows, and exciting developments - I felt like I was back in 1920s London, experiencing the roaring twenties all over again, only with sequins, rhinestones and killer makeup.
The Big Drag Happenings:
- RuPaulâs Drag Race: The queen of queens, RuPaul, was still reigning supreme! Season 14 of Drag Race was in full swing. Kerri Colby, Daya Betty, and Alyssa Hunter were just starting to light up the stage, sending fans into a frenzy! Remember all that hype about those challenges, like the âSnatch Game?â Oh, the memories!
- UK Versus The World: In a moment of pure drag history, âRuPaulâs Drag Race UK Versus The Worldâ was announced! What a legendary move! This was set to be a huge event, showcasing queens from across the globe. I was so excited for the UK to take on the world in a competition that promised a stunning clash of styles and artistry!
- International Drag Scenes Thriving: November 2021 was a global celebration of drag! From Germanyâs Queen of Drags to Thailandâs Drag Race Thailand, every corner of the world was witnessing a drag renaissance. The UK was home to numerous iconic queens like Divina De Campo, Blu Hydrangea, and Baga Chipz. They were shining bright on the stage and captivating the world. It was truly a golden age for drag across the globe.
- Live Performances: While COVID still had us dancing from home for a bit, venues were starting to reopen for live shows! In November, the drag scene was starting to roar back to life! So much energy was filling the air â the joyous spirit of drag was returning! I could feel the love, the acceptance, the laughter in every performance I watched.
- Fashion Trends: Speaking of love and fashion! What better way to express it than with the right attire? Back in 2021, November was about making a bold statement! I adored the vibrant colours, playful designs and intricate details, all meant to make every look a powerful declaration of individuality! Remember those bright coloured sequins and fabulous headdresses? They made the shows even more dazzling and gave us all a fabulous glimpse into the evolution of drag fashion!
My Personal Style Picks:
Now, we all know that my weakness is pink tutus, but even I get drawn to the ever-evolving trends! 2021 was a real treat for the eyes - from vibrant colours and graphic prints to a resurgence of classic 80s aesthetics! Some of my favourites from November? The fabulous feathered fans that made every show a spectacle! Those dramatic lashes that accentuated every look, and, of course, a good, dramatic wig that spoke volumes! Don't even get me started on the sheer creativity and endless innovation of those extravagant makeup looks - truly a time to celebrate artistic freedom and boundary pushing.
More than just a Show:
Throughout November, the world of drag wasnât just about dazzling performances! It was also a movement that celebrated community, love, and self-acceptance! There were workshops and talks raising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, community fundraisers showcasing the power of unity, and countless stories that showcased the transformative power of drag! It wasnât just about performing, it was about coming together, supporting each other, and building a stronger, brighter future!
My Time Traveling Adventures:
Itâs time for a bit of moi now. It wouldnât be a Pink Tutu Travels post without a bit of a glimpse into my adventures. While November 2021 was a fantastic time for drag, the biggest treat was getting to witness the birth of several now legendary drag queens! They were just starting their journeys in 2021 - imagine how they would all evolve into the stars they are now! You see, time travel isnât just about observing - itâs about experiencing the evolution of something you love.
My most treasured memory of November 2021? Witnessing a young drag queen taking her first steps on the stage! The way she shined with the spotlight - you could just feel the raw energy and raw talent radiating from her! I was swept away!
And, as always, the message is simple - everyone, embrace the fabulous! Wear your pink tutu, darling! Be brave, be bold, be your authentic self!
Until next time, my dearest lovelies! See you all at Pink-Tutu.com, where we delve deeper into the vibrant, dazzling history of drag together!
