Hey there, sweeties! Emma here, your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing drag queen blogger! It's time for another dazzling journey through #DragQueenHistory, and this month we're twirling our way back to the fabulous year of 2037!
Post Number 1414 on www.pink-tutu.com
My magical time-travelling tutu took me back to the year when the world had really embraced the glorious evolution of drag. You see, back then, it wasn't just about dazzling on stage, it was about embracing the power of drag in every corner of our lives! And, of course, that included embracing the wonderful colour pink! I mean, darling, it's the most glamorous colour ever, and it made the drag scene a vibrant kaleidoscope of joy!
A Day Out at the International Drag Festival!
It's hard to pick one event in 2037 that made my jaw drop, because drag was everywhere! You'd have queens serving face at supermarkets, doing their fabulous thing on the local telly, even running for office! But one place I simply HAD to visit was the International Drag Festival in Paris. Oh darling, the fashion!
Imagine, darling, a festival dedicated to all things drag. Think runway shows that would leave even the most seasoned fashionista speechless. I'm talking avant-garde looks inspired by drag history, couture creations with the most glorious colours and fabrics you can imagine. This is where I met the most incredible drag queens from all over the globe! Each one had a unique story and a captivating style that showcased the sheer diversity of our incredible community!
The Rise of the Pink Tutu!
2037 was the year of the Pink Tutu. That's right, sweeties! Not only was pink absolutely everywhere, but tutus were being embraced by drag queens and drag enthusiasts alike! They weren't just on stage anymore. It was chic, darling, and utterly fashionable! We were rocking tutus in our everyday lives, from grabbing a coffee at the local cafe to having a chinwag with the Queen (I'm still not sure how that happened! But let's just say I wasn't shy about showing off my pink tutu!). And it was all about self-expression, embracing your own unique fabulousness, and honestly, I don't think I've ever felt more glamorous!
A Peek Into the Drag Scene
"Draglympics"
Okay, I know what you're thinking! Drag Olympians? It sounds like a hilarious dream, but it was a thing! You know how drag queens are competitive, so naturally, we were all excited to see drag battles, drag sports, and a variety of crazy challenges that tested everything from lip syncing skills to how high you can toss a glitter bomb! Imagine all those sequins, feathers, and lashes flying around - pure fabulous chaos!
"Dragtopia"
Remember that time travelling took you to a whole town filled with fabulous drag queens! This wasn't just some movie, darlings! In 2037, a community in the United States became a fully-fledged drag paradise - "Dragtopia". Imagine the endless drag shows, shops dedicated to drag costumes, workshops, everything a queen could possibly need! It was literally drag heaven. They even had "Draglympics" every year, hosted by "Dragtopia." It's a real-life drag wonderland!
"The Big Drag Bake-Off"
Now, you know how much I adore a delicious cake, but this show wasn't just about the cakes, it was about how queens served their looks while baking! The challenge wasn't easy. Imagine baking a seven-tier cake with a pink tutu made out of frosting! That was 2037 for you, darling! Every queen came armed with their best baking skills and the most spectacular drag looks, all while keeping their hair perfectly styled! Oh, the drama!
The Impact of the Past!
As I've been hopping back through time, I can't help but notice how much drag in 2037 benefited from all the pioneers, all the queens who paved the way before. It was like looking at a gorgeous floral arrangement, all thanks to the beauty of all the blooms. We weren't afraid to be loud, be ourselves, to use drag to champion LGBTQ+ rights and embrace individuality, all those fantastic qualities of the community.
So, sweeties, that's it for this month! If you want to know more about 2037's amazing drag scene, pop over to **www.pink-tutu.com I'm just starting to dive into some of the history of the 'Draglympics" and all things "Dragtopia"! You know I'm already working on getting my hands on some vintage "Draglympics" souvenirs and perhaps even a "Dragtopia" travel brochure!
Stay tuned, and always remember - a pink tutu can take you anywhere!
Lots of love,
Emma x
