Hello darlings, and welcome to another fabulous post from your favourite Derbyshire drag queen, Emma! Can you believe it's November 2035 already? Time flies when you're living your best life in a pink tutu! I hope you're all ready for a super sparkly trip through drag history, because today we're jetting off to... drumroll please ... 2035!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Emma, how can you travel through time? It's 2035! You're already there!" Well, you see, darling, time travel's all about perspective. This month, I'm not just experiencing the wonders of 2035 - I'm actually celebrating a drag legacy that's been in the making for decades! It's a year packed full of exciting things in the world of drag, and I can't wait to share it all with you.
But first, let's talk tutus. Because obviously! This month, I'm all about the big, beautiful pink tutu! Now, some might call it a bold fashion choice, but I say it's a statement. It's a statement about confidence, creativity, and a deep love for all things sparkly. Plus, I'm hoping to inspire some of you fabulous darlings to join me in the Pink Tutu Revolution!
So, back to the magic of drag history! This year, the drag world is absolutely popping! We've got some seriously talented queens bringing their A-game to every stage. From dazzling ballrooms to electrifying street performances, there's a flavour for every taste. I even saw a Drag-tastic show featuring glow-in-the-dark paint and laser lights! It was like a rave-themed drag ballet - pure, unadulterated, fab-tastic magic.
One thing I've been absolutely loving is the resurgence of Drag Karaoke Night. Forget those old, dusty sing-along sessions! Now, drag queens all over the world are taking over karaoke nights, transforming them into an explosive, glamorous spectacle of self-expression. Trust me, seeing a Drag Queen absolutely belt out a Mariah Carey anthem in a shimmering pink tutu is a sight you'll never forget!
But here's the really juicy bit, darlings: This month, we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dragathon! Yes, that's right - 50 years of the world's biggest, most fabulous drag charity fundraiser! I'm talking marathon walks, fashion shows, talent contests, and of course, an entire village hall decked out in pink, glittery fabulousness. For a good cause? Oh darling, we love a good cause, and this year, Dragathon's breaking all sorts of fundraising records!
Speaking of records, this year's Drag Ball has gone absolutely global! I've been watching it all happen online, and it's a joy! Thousands of queens from across the globe are uniting under the banner of Drag Pride. They're showing off their incredible talents, from acrobatics and dance to lip-syncing and comedy. There's a whole digital runway for queens all over the world to share their stories, their artistry, and their fabulous outfits - many in pink tutus, of course.
What's even more amazing is how Drag Ball's evolved to focus on raising awareness and promoting the positive message of inclusivity and diversity. It's a testament to the power of drag: a way for people from all walks of life to come together, express themselves, and make the world a more fabulous, sparkly place.
But darling, this trip through 2035 wouldn't be complete without some retail therapy! It's impossible to visit a future drag queen paradise without exploring the shops. And let me tell you, things are just… extravagant! This year, a new drag shop has just opened - a haven for anything and everything sparkly. I mean, everything! It's got sequins that glow under blacklight, feather boas made from unicorn fur, and… wait for it… tutus. Tutus! In every colour, every texture, and every possible size imaginable. You know I'm adding a new sparkly pink one to my collection!
Now, I could talk about 2035 drag for hours - but we've got to wrap things up. Just remember, darlings, this is only a glimpse into the vibrant world of drag in 2035. It's an era brimming with creativity, diversity, and pure, unadulterated joy.
But don't just sit back and read about it! Go out, explore your local drag scene, get creative with your look, and find your inner pink tutu! The world's waiting to be sprinkled with a touch of sparkle, darling, and I know you've got what it takes!
Until next time, keep on dazzling!
Love,
Emma www.pink-tutu.com
