#DragQueenHistory during 2046 04

Hey darlings! It’s Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-clad time traveller, ready to whisk you away to the dazzling world of drag history, one sparkling sequin at a time! As you all know, my mission in life is to inspire the world to embrace the sheer joy and glamour of a perfectly pink tutu. And where better to find inspiration than a trip through the annals of drag history? Today, we're taking a twirl through the exciting world of drag on April 2046 – get your pink feathers and your feather boas ready, because things are about to get fabulous!

Now, I wouldn’t be your fabulous, time-traveling, pink-tutu wearing pal if I didn’t show up with a pink sparkle explosion. Buckle your sequins because I’ve whipped up a right doozy of a time machine! You know the one, the one where the sequins don’t fall off (it was a nightmare in the 90s), yes that one. It's a tutu crafted from the most magical pink silk that I swiped from a grumpy dragon – yes you heard me right, grumpy dragons are fabulous too - and laced with starlight.

So buckle up! And trust me when I say this, in the month of April, 2046 the world of drag was bubbling with excitement! Let me share what I discovered on my fabulous travels through time...

Darling, the air was electric, buzzing with excitement. The Met Gala was upon us, and in this fabulous futuristic world, it’s no longer a simple gala! They've outdone themselves! This year, the Met Gala was held not within the Met itself, but within a massive mirrored bubble suspended over Central Park, casting shimmering reflections of the glitziest queens onto the city skyline. The theme? "Redefining Decadence: Drag’s Timeless Evolution". Honestly, it was jaw-dropping. Queens were transported through portals created by the Met's newest holographic projector technology, appearing in glittery bursts of light. It was pure spectacle!

Who made me fall head over heels in love with this show? Queen Kweena, a rising star on the scene, she was absolutely phenomenal! Her outfit, designed by the acclaimed sustainable designer, Zara Starks, was a vibrant explosion of shimmering pinks and greens - think of an emerald forest with sparkling pink butterflies - she had me swooning!

And talking of the hottest designers, let's not forget about Amani La Roux, oh darling! Their collection at the show, showcased avant-garde creations from recycled fabrics! There was a glorious pink-feathered gown, paired with a swirling, sequined top. It looked like a celestial dream! They've completely transformed the concept of glamour, and it was clear they are making waves.

Over to the UK now! The heart of drag culture, right? The scene was booming, darling! From the glitzy shows at the Drag Palace in London, to the drag brunch celebrations in Brighton, it was a constant explosion of rainbows and sequins! The legendary queen, Dragatha Christie (that's Miss Christie to you) was in town for a sold-out engagement. A true master of her craft, Dragatha was gracing the stage at the world-renowned London Coliseum with her show 'The Rise of the Pink Tutu,' featuring the legendary Dragtha classics – 'Toxic Tutus,' 'Don't Go Breaking My Pink Heart' and 'A World Filled with Tutu-s' I was gobsmacked! Honestly, I cried with joy, and those tears, let me tell you, were sparkly, too. You know you love a bit of glam tears.

Oh, and London was a shopping haven! You have to try The Glitter Emporium! There’s even a separate floor for every colour. My wallet (and my closet!) were screaming "yes, please!” They have absolutely everything: shimmering tiaras, fluffy pink feather boas, glitter that shimmers like stardust - truly, the ultimate haven for all things sparkly! I picked up a pink tutu and a dazzling set of feather wings - naturally! You're not a true time traveller unless you are bringing some amazing drag history home with you.

The international drag scene is going crazy in 2046! I hopped onto my fabulous pink tutu time machine to discover the exciting drag culture across the globe. Japan’s Akihabara district is a true gem! The area had a breathtaking, colourful spectacle of street shows. With the unique Japanese kawaii (cuteness) style intertwined with bold drag elements, this was a new, magical twist! And of course, I have to mention the fantastic new fashion scene. In Tokyo they love their tutu-tastic ensembles - bright, bold, and oh-so-fashionable.

But what about the other side of the world? Let’s talk Mumbai! The vibrancy of the Indian drag scene has taken the world by storm! Here, you’ll see performers showcasing traditional Bollywood moves with daring contemporary drag styling! A fantastic explosion of colours, glittering makeup, and traditional fabrics! A celebration of the diverse range of South Asian cultures! A cultural extravaganza where queens are embracing individuality and redefining drag in a way that's uniquely powerful!

Every place I go, every queen I meet, I feel my heart overflowing with excitement. In this month of April, 2046, I was stunned by the sheer audacity and bravery of drag artists all over the world. These amazing queens, with their bold statements, incredible performances, and colourful outfits, are showing us that being yourself and owning your fabulousness is what truly makes us shine. Whether it's in New York City or Tokyo, London or Mumbai, every performance and each drag queen has one thing in common: their passion for art, self-expression, and a desire to make the world a more vibrant place! And when I saw this beautiful spirit shining bright, I just knew we were making fabulous strides toward a more inclusive world.

I encourage everyone, whether you are in Derbyshire or Derry, New York City or Nairobi, to step out in a pink tutu! It is your moment to embrace your uniqueness, have a blast, and let your pink flag fly. Because the drag world is all about celebrating differences and encouraging individuals to be true to themselves!

And so, darlings, I must go now! My time machine has brought me back from the exciting month of April 2046, and you know it's time to work my magical tutu magic! I'm on my way to Derby's "Pride on the Derwent" celebration and I’m wearing my pink tutu. I'll be joining all my fantastic sisters, showing our colours, sharing our passion and reminding everyone that it’s a time to celebrate diversity, joy and the sheer magical magic of being ourselves! Remember, to see the pink is to see the fabulous in every day. Let’s keep the world of drag filled with glitter, glam, and pink tutus.

Until next time, lovelies!
