Firstly, a huge shout out to all of you for keeping the website buzzing! It feels so magical to share my time-travelling adventures with you lot! This month, we're diving right into the world of drag in 2038. I know what you're thinking: tutus, pink, fabulous, the usual, right? Well, darling, 2038 had a few surprises up its sparkly sleeve that even I, your trusty pink tutu time traveller, didn't expect.
Let's kick off this historical odyssey with a little chat about the big things happening in the world of drag on this date! Now, I'm talking massive, mainstream, can't-miss events here. Think grand celebrations, extravagant festivals, drag icons, and all things sparkly! Well, babes, get ready to be wowed, because 2038 is practically bursting with drag!
A Drag-tastic International Gathering in ParisMy journey began in the city of lights, Paris! Now, Paris has always been a haven for glamour and creativity, but 2038? It was a supernova of drag. There I was, in the heart of Paris, surrounded by a multitude of gorgeous creatures in every shade of fabulous, ready to celebrate the 100th anniversary of DragFest International! Yep, you heard that right, darling - a century of drag extravaganza, with performances by international legends! I felt like I was in the midst of a dazzling fairytale, and oh darling, let me tell you, there wasn't a single soul there who didn't know how to werk that runway!
It wasn't just the shows that had me buzzing though. Oh no, darling. This was the city of love, and everyone was embracing the power of expression, of finding their own beauty and individuality, no matter what! The entire festival was a magnificent display of self-love and creativity, a giant love letter to diversity, and I found myself, for the first time in all my travels, feeling truly part of something extraordinary! I swear, it was as if the world had finally learned the secret to love, acceptance, and glitter! And speaking of glitter... Oh, let me tell you, darlings! The makeup and costumes in 2038? Sheer genius! Imagine a world where Drag makeup artistry becomes an official art form, where Drag looks become works of art on their own. Well, darling, itβs all happening in 2038! You know, I've always believed that makeup is the perfect vehicle for expressing ourselves, and here, in the year 2038, it was a genuine force to be reckoned with, captivating audiences from the runway to the stage!
From the Moulin Rouge to the Space Station: A Glimpse into 2038 Drag CultureAfter Paris, I found myself in the dazzling streets of Tokyo, witnessing the newest craze sweeping the drag scene β drag in the skies! Yes, darlings, space travel is finally affordable, and guess what's leading the charge for dazzling outfits on space stations? You guessed it - Drag queens, with their otherworldly makeup looks, high-tech costumes, and killer runway walk! I mean, think about it, space exploration requires some seriously creative solutions, and the ingenuity of the drag world was the perfect place to look! The entire world was witnessing the birth of space drag, complete with interstellar glitter and gravity-defying performances!
After witnessing a captivating performance from the very first drag space show hosted on the international space station, I simply had to see what drag was doing back down on Earth! So I popped back to good old Derbyshire, and let me tell you, the scene back home had come a long way! I even spotted a few young drag queens rocking the pink tutu look! Turns out, my efforts to bring everyone into the tutu-loving fold was paying off big time. What a magical time to be a drag queen!
The most spectacular surprise I experienced in 2038? The resurgence of street performance. But not your typical, on-the-corner street shows! The entire globe had caught on to the artistry, the energy, and the sheer magic of drag street performances, transforming entire neighbourhoods into bustling theatres of self-expression! It wasn't just about putting on a show β it was about fostering a community, celebrating diversity, and sparking joy on every corner. I mean, even Derbyshire was teeming with exciting street shows, from fabulous musical acts to impromptu vogueing battles, the drag street performers of 2038 had truly revitalized our public spaces, injecting them with colour, energy, and, of course, an abundance of glitter!
Time-Travelling Treasures & Tips from the Future!After my wild 2038 adventure, I'm overflowing with newfound inspiration. You know me, babes, I love a bit of drag history! I found myself collecting all kinds of trinkets β glittery vintage make-up palettes with 3-D printing technology, holographic holographic dresses with self-cleaning tech (genius, right?), even a fabulous holographic, voice-activated pink tutu that comes complete with a built-in time-travel device. (You heard that right darling! And it works just like mine, but way more tech-savvy)
I even had the honour of meeting some truly inspirational people, drag icons who helped shape the vibrant, dazzling future of drag. Imagine talking about the origins of drag with someone who remembers the dawn of "RuPaul's Drag Race"! That was the feeling! But here's the thing, babes - I learnt a vital lesson! The future of drag is about so much more than just amazing looks and stunning shows! It's about inclusion, authenticity, and celebrating the beauty and artistry of drag in all its magnificent forms.
So here's my time-traveling takeaway, darlings: always embrace your uniqueness, never be afraid to stand out, and remember, the power of self-expression is the true magic of drag. After all, we're not just performing, we're creating a world that's inclusive, creative, and overflowing with sparkle! And I can't wait to see what next month brings!
Until then, keep dancing, keep dazzling, and remember: Always be pink!
