Helloooo darlings! Emma here, your fabulous, pink-tutu clad time traveller, bringing you the juiciest bits of drag history from the depths of my magical time machine, a.k.a. my glittery pink tutu. This month, we're jetting off to the fabulous future of... June 2034!
Oh honey, prepare yourselves! 2034 is positively bursting at the seams with dazzling drag and spectacular shows. Weâre talkinâ world domination by fabulous performers who've been strutting their stuff for decades! Itâs been such a pleasure seeing how drag has truly evolved, becoming a force for positivity and acceptance, pushing boundaries and shattering stereotypes!
I landed right in the heart of Londonâs West End, the energy buzzing, the air thick with glitter. Oh my, this is definitely where you want to be for a taste of high-end, high-impact drag. This is also when drag took center stage, no pun intended, at the most prestigious venues! I practically frolicked through a double feature at the Theatre Royal, with drag legends Kiki Rouge and Gigi Starr headlining â can you even?! The costumes, honey, they were just breathtaking! A dazzling whirlwind of feathers, sequins, and some truly inventive creations that I swear even Mother herself would've approved of!
Now, I wouldn't be true to myself if I didnât pop by the hottest drag nights happening all across London. It seemed everyone and their grandma was rocking a pink tutu and feather boa! Itâs all thanks to my efforts, of course! (Winks and throws a perfectly timed wink) Every Friday night was a glitter-bomb extravaganza with âDrag Queen Drag Racesâ, a fierce competition of fabulousness I swear even the iconic Miss Fame would have fallen in love with. This new format combined fashion challenges, lip-sync battles, and those killer acting performances we all adore!
One show, called "Beyond the Ball," held at a swanky LGBTQ+ club in Shoreditch, left me gasping for breath. You wouldnât believe the ingenuity! Drag queens werenât just entertaining; they were storytellers, creating moments that took you to another world! The show, directed by a talented transgender woman named Skye, showcased a cast of talented artists who combined dance, acrobatics, and cutting-edge technology! One act even involved a massive holographic projection that seemed to float across the room! Absolutely unbelievable.
And speaking of dance, can you even believe itâs now an integral part of drag? No, this isnât some cabaret show â I mean actual choreography and performance artistry, gasps dramatically. A new company, "Drag: The Movement", even toured worldwide with their breathtaking show! Imagine it: Ballet, modern dance, ballroomâŚall mashed up with the glamorous artistry of drag queens! This, my darlings, was drag on another level.
But drag in 2034 wasnât just about glamorous stage performances and competitions. Drag became an integral part of fashion! Imagine this, darling, every department store had a dedicated section for drag wear, and all major fashion magazines dedicated entire pages to drag looks and fashion advice. Honestly, it's the peak of our community! We werenât just seeing it, we were experiencing it everywhere! There were entire shops devoted to drag make-up, accessories, and wigs â you name it, they had it!
It was all so⌠inclusive. It was incredible to see this incredible shift. Everyone from celebrities to regular folks were openly wearing pieces from these drag collections. You saw pink tutus worn in street fashion and on red carpets - I even spotted a high-society fashion editor sporting a pair of shimmering rainbow leg warmers! That, my dear, is true inclusion!
You can see why my blog, "Pink-Tutu.com" has become a true global phenomenon! Everyone wanted in on the fun. And who wouldnât? Weâre talking tutus galore, rainbow shades, bedazzled everything, and enough sparkles to make your eyes twinkle! I mean, even the male pop stars were sporting eye-catching costumes, inspired by drag and its dazzling fashion! Now thatâs progress! It wasnât about imitation, it was about appreciation, about sharing the joy of self-expression that drag has been promoting all along.
There were so many other highlights! I even caught a hilarious drag comedy night at the famous Soho Theatre â where some drag queen performed a brilliant stand-up set that included witty jokes, witty anecdotes, and a few self-deprecating comments, too! My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard. Iâm a little heartbroken that they didnât mention their fabulous pink tutu, but hey, thereâs always next time! And in keeping with the positive vibes, I spotted several drag groups dedicated to raising money for important social causes. Drag wasn't just for entertainment; it became a catalyst for good!
Oh, and remember all those drag makeup classes I mentioned a while back? Well, in 2034, they are everywhere! And no longer limited to the big cities. They are in towns and villages everywhere! There was even a new online platform that offered virtual makeup workshops and online drag-focused tutorials, from the basics to advanced looks. Itâs a total revolution!
And how do I fund all this time travelling? Well, that's a little secret I keep close! But it's safe to say I make sure to give back to the drag community! Every performance I do benefits one way or another, Whether I'm bringing the heat to a nightclub, dazzling a fundraising gala, or leading a drag-tastic workshop â I love bringing the magic of drag to all those who love it, who love tutus, and who just want to have fun! And that, my darlings, is how I'm fulfilling my dream â getting everyone in a pink tutu and spreading the joy of drag across time and space!
Stay fabulous and remember: itâs all about spreading glitter and happiness! Catch you next month on âPink-Tutu.comâ for another dazzling adventure in drag history. And donât forget to wear pink!
Lots of love and a big, glittery hug,
Emma xoxo
