Darling, gather 'round! Your favourite pink tutu-clad time traveller is back with a piping hot post from the archives of drag history. This month, we're shimmying back to the 20th September 2037. Can you believe it, lovelies? That's only a few years back! It was a gloriously colourful and fabulous time for the art of drag, as you'll see…
Now, before we begin, let's just marvel at this outfit. My pink tutu today? Well, let's just say it's a vintage 2037 creation, straight outta that fabulous era. This tulle is simply heavenly, the embroidery so intricate it could rival a royal ball gown, and the colour? Well, let’s just say it screams "I’m a drag queen, and I’m here to steal the spotlight!"
Speaking of spotlights, 2037 was all about blending theatrical extravagance with street performance, creating a magical fusion of both styles that simply stole the stage! The energy? Electrifying! Imagine a vibrant city bursting with life, each corner echoing the beats of the most amazing drag shows!
My diary tells me I started the day at a drag brunch in downtown Tokyo! A real feast for the senses – think pastel pinks, fluffy pancakes, and drag queens serving sickening looks. The performance? Pure comedy genius! We had drag king royalty with incredible routines that mixed traditional Japanese art forms with modern urban storytelling. There were even robot dancers, believe it or not! The whole experience was totally fab and served up a big slice of LGBTQIA+ culture!
The evening saw me waltzing into a grand, neon-lit club in New York, where the city’s elite gathered to be wowed by drag legend Sasha “Sugarplum” Divine. This iconic drag superstar literally rewrote the rulebook for contemporary drag and delivered an energetic, powerful, and emotional set. It was one of those performances you remember years later, just brimming with sass and artistic depth. Talk about leaving a lasting impression!
Of course, no trip to 2037 would be complete without experiencing the wonders of the drag scene back in good ol' Derbyshire! The Queen’s Arms pub in my hometown was bursting at the seams with energy! I spent the whole night cheering on my dear friends, who performed a wild mash-up of drag king, drag queen, and even drag alien routines – just an absolute kaleidoscope of creativity! It was a truly heartfelt and celebratory display of all things drag!
But, hold up! 2037 also gave birth to groundbreaking international collaborations that took drag performances to another level! Think London’s "Queen’s Club" featuring global superstars and their captivating interpretations of traditional drag routines, from voguing to burlesque to full-blown Broadway musical extravaganzas! The world watched on, glued to their screens, as this incredible collective of artists performed to millions.
As for the fashion in 2037? A true explosion of colour, darling! Bold, statement-making makeup, neon clothing with a dash of glamour, sparkling sequins, and elaborate hairstyles. It was all about pushing boundaries, celebrating individuality, and having a whole lot of fun with it!
Even the beauty standards of 2037 were more diverse and inclusive than ever! Think elaborate makeup styles inspired by global fashion, and beauty influencers on every social media platform! Drag queens led the charge, showcasing their bold, flawless looks, proving once again that drag is the most diverse art form, and a constant advocate for inclusivity.
Looking back, 2037 was a time when drag found its voice! Drag queens had become truly powerful agents of change, bringing joy, glamour, and social commentary into the mainstream, fighting for inclusivity and visibility everywhere! It was the perfect time for a drag queen like me to slip into her favourite pink tutu and explore the world, witnessing the magical evolution of drag, celebrating its artistry, and adding a sprinkle of fabulousness wherever I went.
Oh, and darling, I can't leave you without some juicy updates from "pink-tutu.com!" I've updated my merchandise store, so be sure to snatch yourself a stunning pink tutu of your very own! And, for all you budding queens out there, my drag school, "The Pink Tutu Academy", is open for registration!
