#DragQueenHistory during 2042 03

Hiya darlings! It’s your gal, Emma, back from another magical time-traveling adventure. Buckle up, babes, because today's blog post is going to take us right into the glittery future, March 2042!

My, oh my! Time travel in a pink tutu always has me feeling like I’m soaring through a sparkly galaxy, especially when landing in the midst of such glamorous times! Now, as you know, March is my absolute favourite month for pink! It's the month of the iconic Mother's Day and I can already picture all the pastel-hued floral arrangements and those absolutely divine pink tulle creations, perfect for twirling under a balmy spring sun!

Of course, I simply had to wear my new pink sequinned tutu for this trip. Imagine a cloud of swirling tulle, adorned with a million tiny sequins shimmering like starlight! Paired with my favourite vintage pink feathered boa, I practically glowed! Imagine Audrey Hepburn meets Princess Bubblegum – you get the picture, doll!

Anyway, enough about this glam-tastic blogger (but really, look at me! It’s all about the fabulousness, isn’t it?)! Today, we're venturing into the fabulous world of drag in 2042, and it is one wild ride! I’m talking about drag balls on the moon, holographic makeup, and, wait for it… drag queen holograms! Don't worry, my dears, this glamorous granny knows her drag! And this isn't the drag of your grandma's day. This is futuristic, dazzling, out-of-this-world, high-fashion drag.

Stepping out into 2042, I was struck by how the streets practically buzzed with drag! Drag was everywhere – in advertisements, on billboards, even holographic projections that floated through the air, like living, breathing drag queen advertisements! Oh darling, it was truly an explosion of colour, creativity, and all the campest energy imaginable!

But my journey began at a massive drag ball in, well, outer space! Yep! It seems these days, we're not limited to the confines of the Earth for our drag. Instead, imagine the dazzling beauty of a spaceship bathed in starlight, showcasing some of the most inventive, daring, and absolutely mind-blowing drag you can dream of. They’d flown me up there in a pink limo (oh yes, that was chic!).

Now, I've seen a lot of drag in my travels. From the fiery flamboyance of Parisian cabaret to the fierce confidence of a Harlem drag ball, I've witnessed drag morph, evolve, and blossom across history. But even I was flabbergasted by the drag in 2042. The talent, the audacity, the pure extra of it all… My, oh my, what a time to be alive!

Let's start with my all-time fave, Lady Luna. Can you imagine a queen dressed in an ethereal, neon-hued gown, her hair sculpted into a luminous halo, radiating an otherworldly charm? Imagine all that on the stage, but with holographic wings and dazzling special effects! You just can't ignore the sheer awe of it all!

And speaking of awe, there was another queen I encountered called Cypher! Cypher is what I’d call a cyborg queen! Her outfit? It’s a masterpiece of sleek metallic and cybernetic enhancements! Her look is edgy, futuristic, a captivating blend of tech and art. Honestly, my dear, her holographic eye makeup would have put a star on Mars to shame!

These two were just the tip of the iceberg, darling! This era of drag is like a kaleidoscope bursting with different styles. There were queens that defied gravity with their creations, queens that literally became living art pieces, and even a whole group of queens that wore costumes made from recycled materials - a real show of creativity and commitment to sustainability! Oh, darling, they showed us how fashion can be glamorous and environmentally friendly! Talk about a dazzling reminder to think about Mother Earth!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Pink Tutu Time Travel adventure without a little bit of glitzy mishap.

Let me tell you, navigating this technological wonderland, I did nearly forget about my beloved pink tulle. The temptation was huge – every time I encountered an holographic advertisement showcasing some divine pink creation, I almost hopped into a hover-car! And trust me, the glitter that was flying around in 2042, oh darling, I swear I came home with enough sparkles to light up the whole of Derbyshire.

But in a moment of sheer drag-tastic intuition, I realised how utterly essential a time travelling tutu was! I may be surrounded by dazzling digital projections and hover-cars, but nothing beats the grace and elegance of a good twirl! This journey helped me understand how even with all the tech, people crave the genuine expression of a beautifully crafted pink tutu, and it truly helps them reconnect with something deeper within their souls, something more magical, something beyond all those bits and bytes.

So yes, dear, my time in 2042 was as bright, vibrant, and fun as the shimmering pink sequins that adorned my magical tutu! Every single time I step out on this magnificent voyage, I'm inspired to be the best version of myself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a stack of vintage pink tulle that needs ironing. Maybe I’ll wear it to the upcoming drag ball in my Derbyshire. Who knows? Perhaps 2042's drag scene will inspire me to put a pink tutu on the moon. Wouldn't that be something, darlings?

Until next month! And as always, my dear readers, spread your love for all things fabulous! Let's all be pink-tutu clad revolutionaries, reminding the world how lovely drag can be!

Lots of love and glitter,

Emma xoxo
