Oh darlings, gather 'round for a positively fabulous update from your favourite time-travelling tutu queen! Emma here, reporting live from the year 2038. You might think 2038 is way off in the future, but it's just around the corner, really, and I tell you, the drag scene is absolutely sizzling!
This month, my magical pink tutu whisked me away to the vibrant heart of New York City, and let me tell you, honey, I saw the future of drag and it is FABULOUS. We're talking high-tech lasers, interactive projections, holographic performers, and of course, an absolute slew of glittering tutus! They say drag is all about pushing boundaries and the queens of 2038 are really taking it to the next level.
But first, some tea! What's going on in the world of drag back home in Derbyshire, you ask? Well, darling, you wouldn't believe the craze that's sweeping the local scene. The Derby Drag Brunch has become a weekly institution, attracting drag queens and enthusiasts alike, from seasoned veterans to newcomers eager to experience the magic. And trust me, honey, they don't just come for the food. It's all about the performance, the energy, the community, and of course, those gloriously feathered headpieces and divine costumes. Itâs truly heartwarming to see how the drag scene is blossoming in Derbyshire.
Speaking of community, my dearest darling, one of the most heartwarming aspects of this time-travelling gig is seeing how drag has evolved, embraced diversity and fostered a real sense of inclusion. It's so beautiful to witness how drag is celebrating different genders, sexualities and body types â it truly is an art form for everyone!
Now back to New York! So, in the year 2038, New York is teeming with the hottest drag talent, all vying for a spot in the most spectacular drag showcases and competitions. I watched in awe as a young queen, Valentina Starr, graced the stage, captivating the crowd with her holographic wings that pulsed with light.
Oh darling, this is a drag show that needs to be seen to be believed! Theyâre incorporating so much technology - holograms, augmented reality projections, it's everything. Imagine the spectacle of being surrounded by glowing butterflies as you enter a show, or even the chance to design your own custom look through augmented reality that blends perfectly with the costumes and stage lighting! Itâs absolute heaven, I tell you, pure artistic expression with a sprinkle of technological wizardry.
Of course, I couldnât leave New York without indulging in a bit of retail therapy â whatâs a pink tutu loving queen without her accessories? Darling, I snagged a divine neon-pink, feather-trimmed sequined top that just screams âfuture fashionâ, paired with a matching holographic skirt. And to add the finishing touch? Why, a custom-made, diamond-studded, light-up tutu, naturally. You betcha, it even has built-in motion sensors! This is not your grannyâs drag scene, darlings!
This time travel really gets my creative juices flowing. I'm so inspired by the technological marvels I've seen. You know I love my classic tutus, but incorporating technology into drag? That's simply fabulous. Maybe I'll have my own glowing, sequined pink tutu one day? Oh the possibilities, darlings! The future of drag looks dazzling, and it looks fabulous in pink, oh yes indeed!
But let me know your thoughts! Do you think it's a good idea for technology to play such a big part in drag? Will traditional drag shows still exist in 2038, or will they be entirely digital experiences? What would your dream pink tutu be?
Keep sparkling, darling!
Your eternally optimistic tutu queen,
Emma xx
