#DragQueenHistory during 2038 08

Hello darlings! It's your favourite Derbyshire drag queen, Emma, back again with another post for www.pink-tutu.com. August 2038? You bet! The sequins are sparkling, the glitter is glowing, and this pink-loving queen is back with another blast from the past – or shall I say, another trip to the future?

Let’s face it, I’m obsessed with time travel. And this pink tutu certainly takes me places! Who would’ve thought my grandma's vintage tutu had such magical powers, right? This month, my Tutu Time Machine took me to August 2038 – a date chock-full of drag excitement, which, darling, was all I could ever wish for.

So, what did I find? Oh honey, the world of drag in 2038 was everything! The stage, the streets, the internet - drag was absolutely everywhere! It felt like a celebration of everything glamorous and flamboyant, a total explosion of fabulousness!

Firstly, the street performers. They were amazing! It wasn't just about traditional lip-syncing routines anymore. They were blending dance, spoken word, and even interactive technology to create truly immersive performances. The makeup was stunning – think holographic eyeshadow, metallic eyelashes, and shimmering body paint – totally giving me cyberpunk drag goddess vibes. It was so refreshing and modern, not to mention how effortlessly they rocked the most fantastic custom outfits! My, my, these street performers were so good. They gave me such good ideas for my next performance, and that’s just one of the perks of time travel.

Speaking of technology, darling, you've just got to see what's going on in the world of digital drag. They are creating whole digital universes, complete with drag queens living, breathing, and interacting within these virtual realities! Some drag queens were creating shows in a simulated reality, performing for thousands of fans across the world. I’m talking holograms and AR experiences - it was everything! You could even buy their digital drag fashion! There was a whole new marketplace, bursting with dazzling outfits, made specifically for these virtual stages. My favourite design was a giant pink tutu complete with glittering laser lights! It was just screaming "Emma!"

Don’t worry darling, because, despite the tech, the real stages weren't dead in the slightest. The live shows were as popular as ever, but with a very modern twist. The audiences were even more diverse – young, old, everyone was welcome! They even had these amazing ‘sensory-sensitive’ areas, specifically designed for audiences who need to have breaks during a show. The organisers truly put inclusivity first – so considerate, don't you think? They’ve even integrated signed performances, making drag truly accessible to everyone, which is something I fully support. The diversity of performances was dazzling – from camp and comedic shows to stunning ballet-inspired routines – every night there was something to please even the pickiest drag enthusiast (that’s me!). I particularly enjoyed the drag queens from London, who had incorporated the local ballet schools into their acts!

Coming back to 2023, I’m absolutely bursting with new ideas! This trip really inspired me. I can’t wait to put all those 2038 digital drag experiences to the test, maybe even incorporating some holographic visuals for my next performance.

Remember, darling, if you want to really understand what’s going on in drag, you have to look beyond the glitter. There’s a powerful message within drag that’s worth listening to, something you must hear! It's all about finding your voice, being comfortable in your own skin, and challenging those social norms!

It's all about embracing our fabulousness, and being our authentic selves. That, darling, is what drag is truly all about. It’s something that should inspire everyone – especially our next generation of drag queens.

So, as I sign off for now, make sure to wear that pink tutu with pride and keep that fabulousness flowing! See you in a month with more exciting adventures and fabulous experiences. Remember, www.pink-tutu.com is always open to new fans, and if you ever see a pink tutu swirling in the streets of Derbyshire – you know it’s me, darling, back in time from 2038, ready to inspire the next generation!

As this blog has taken so long to write darling, the show must go on. For any eager beavers, I’m happy to share a little nugget from 2038 drag. There’s this epic drag ball taking place in Berlin! I imagine it's the hottest drag event, complete with a theme. What was the theme, I wonder? The Great Pink Tutu Challenge perhaps? Now there’s an idea for a competition, darling, with an extra focus on that amazing ballet inspired drag. Oh, the possibilities are endless! I can just imagine the amazing performances they will create - think tutus with flashing neon lights! Or maybe giant feather boas that light up! It will be magical.

I bet the competition will include categories like: “Best Use of Sequins”, “Most Fabulous Hair”, and “Best Overall Pink Tutu”, with everyone sporting the ultimate in ballerina drag style! I hope one day they make pink tutus compulsory on the planet – even if they don't exist! I can dream, can't I darling?

Until next time!
