Hello my darling divas, darlings, and fabulous folks! Emma here, your resident pink tutu-wearing time traveller! It's that magical time again, time for a journey through the annals of drag history! This month we're soaring into the future, a futuristic journey to 2033!
(Adjusts the perfect pink tutu, shimmers and shines in the iridescent light)
Hold onto your tiaras, dears, because 2033 is a year bursting with fabulousness!
A Worldwide Dragtastic Adventure
Now, if you're imagining some futuristic chrome-clad drag queens strutting in cyber-punk getups, you're partially right. Drag in 2033 has truly embraced the future! It's still all about individuality, talent, and most importantly, expression, but now with a global, interconnected twist.
(Shimmies, spins with glee and flashes her sequined pink gloves)
This year's World Drag Championship is being held in Seoul, Korea. Now that's an event I'd love to see. Can you imagine the extravagant costumes and high-energy performances? You know my darling, I just have to see if they're rocking the pink tutus, just as we're aiming to achieve! The judging panel, well, I hear rumours they're even bringing on the reigning queen from our beloved RuPaul's Drag Race UK! Imagine!
*(Adjusts a single pearl necklace, pauses, fans herself dramatically, before going on with a flourish) *
But it's not all about competition, my darlings. 2033 sees a global drag revolution. It's the year of “Drag In Every Corner”. Now, this ain't no slogan. This is reality! Think community theatre in every city, drag story times in every town, a new drag king competition happening in every continent. Yes, darling! Imagine drag on a scale that we couldn’t have dreamed of before! That's 2033. The possibilities, are truly limitless, like my ever-growing collection of pink tutus. Speaking of, imagine the fashion, dear. Oh, the futuristic fabrics and dazzling makeup…my heart beats with pure excitement, I can already feel my imagination spinning into a tutu of creative dreams!
(Snatches the stage, grabs the mic and starts singing her rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
And it's not just in the streets, dears, but on the screens too! 2033 is overflowing with incredible drag shows on every platform imaginable! There's a whole new reality TV series on a space station - imagine the drama and theatrics! And of course, drag queens continue to rock music in their own right, and we've got a fabulous musical celebrating drag's legacy.
**(Pulls a tiny pink sequin fan out from her tutu pocket, uses it to gracefully cover her face)
So, darling divas, what does it all mean for you and me, you might ask? 2033, my dears, is a monumental year! It's about global community, celebration, and expression, and I believe in this! This is the perfect time to discover your inner drag queen - whoever that may be! Be that an aspiring drag king, a queen in her prime, or a curious drag fan. Let your inner sparkle shine.
(Does a perfect high kick, perfectly showcasing the pink tutu's pleats)
The Future is Pink
One thing we know for sure is, the future must be pink. Pink is, after all, the ultimate expression of our fun and fabulous side! The pink tutu is a symbol of unity, fun, and the power of expression. And I firmly believe 2033 will see pink tu-tus dancing all around the world! Every little drag queen (and every one in-between) deserves a pink tutu to let their inner star shine!
**(Throws pink confetti with a final graceful spin)
I'm off to scour vintage markets and explore future shops to discover what new shades of pink will conquer 2033. See you next time, my lovely divas! Don't forget to follow me on all my social media pages and head over to www.pink-tutu.com for all the latest time travel updates! Stay fabulous, darlings! **( Kisses with a pink shimmer lipstick, walks off with a click-clack of glitter-studded shoes )
Keep Your Tutus High!

Drag in a Hyper-Connected World
Okay darlings, it’s time to really delve into this fantastical future of Drag. I know, I know… it's a little heady, a whole other universe of expression. But trust me, with the pink tutu as your compass, we’ll be navigating this futuristic landscape together.
(Reaches into her tutu pocket, produces a pair of pink futuristic glasses, clicks them on, looks into the shimmering future)
Global Communities: 2033 is a melting pot of cultures, trends, and influences. This "Drag in Every Corner" initiative is truly pushing the boundaries of expression, creating a beautiful symphony of drag styles all over the globe. Imagine, my dears, the glamour, the humour, the diversity.
**(Pushes pink buttons on a futuristic-looking pink phone and brings up holographic pictures of a Japanese drag king dressed as a samurai with a magnificent wig and pink eye liner)
Imagine Drag Ball tournaments in South Africa that pay homage to the ancient traditions of drag balls but with an innovative touch of sustainable fashion. Imagine a queer Drag Queen choir in Germany singing soulful renditions of traditional folk songs while rocking stunning modern makeup. Imagine, oh, imagine…the boundless beauty!
*(Twirls and points to the holographic display showing a drag queen doing a drag king number, with glitter, fabulous hair and a pink satin vest) *
And let's not forget virtual drag shows, accessible across continents, allowing audiences to experience Drag even in the most remote corners of the globe.
Drag On a Different Scale: With accessibility and connectivity reaching new heights, drag performances aren’t restricted to theatre stages anymore in 2033. It’s an immersive, interactive experience, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and performance!
(Turns the hologram to show images of virtual reality performances and holographic projection performances on the side of a building, showcasing the newest drag performer from Derbyshire!)
There are drag experiences integrated into VR worlds, projection performances on the sides of iconic landmarks, and even holographic drag shows! It's all about creating captivating spaces where Drag isn’t just a performance, but an encounter.
*(Uses a glitter spray, transforms the holographic displays to show the iconic London Tower Bridge transformed with projections of a fabulous drag queen performance. The entire display explodes with colours and glitter) *
Fashion in 2033: The fashion, oh, darling, the fashion. It’s a wild mix of recycled materials, avant-garde couture, and a sprinkle of classic glam!
**(Strikes a pose and holds up a shimmering piece of fabric – pink of course)
Imagine, my dears, drag queens on a futuristic runway, strutting in recycled denim gowns shimmering with holographic accents. Imagine, gorgeous sequins sourced from sustainably farmed materials, combined with high-tech fabric creations! 2033 sees a conscious fashion evolution, where glamour doesn’t have to come at the cost of our planet.
(Tells us what her pink tutus will be like) My pink tutus in 2033? Imagine... soft sustainable pink organza with delicate metallic patterns woven into the fabric! The silhouette will be the same, but each layer of the tulle will reflect holographic elements that shift with the light, creating an endless display of vibrant pink, oh darling, just think about the magic!
**(Looks in the mirror, checks that the sparkle of her own pink makeup matches her dazzling pink tutu perfectly)
The Importance of Representation: Drag in 2033 isn’t just a style, it's an ideology embracing individuality, self-love, and inclusivity.
**(Shifts to holographic projections displaying the new " Drag Queen Time Traveler Handbook: 2033 edition")
There are workshops, events, and organizations actively fostering inclusion, celebrating different identities, and using Drag’s power to uplift marginalized communities. Drag is about more than glitter, my dears. It’s about acceptance, community, and a bold reminder that we are all unique, fabulous, and worth celebrating!
**(Strikes a sassy pose, holds up the new Drag Queen Time Traveler Handbook, gives a sly wink)
So there you have it, my darlings, a glimpse into the amazing world of drag in 2033! It’s a world that inspires me, pushes my creativity, and confirms my unshakeable belief - Drag is not just an art, it's a force that's going to transform the world one pink tutu at a time. **(Shimmers with delight, raises her pink tutu high above her head, and waves as if performing to the global audience!)
