Hiya darlings, it’s your girl Emma here, reporting live from the year 2051! Yes, you read that right, I’ve zipped through time in my trusty, sparkly pink tutu once again! And let me tell you, the future’s lookin’ fierce, and frankly, it’s a little bit more pink than I expected. 😉
Before I spill the tea on 2051 drag, though, let’s catch up on your fave Derbyshire girl. It's been a whirlwind, babes! My monthly performance at The Speakeasy in Matlock went down a storm – it was a complete sellout, thank you, darling, thank you! That, plus my fabulous performances at The Derby Pride Festival, kept the funds flowing and made my monthly pink tutu travel budget super healthy. I couldn’t have done it without my fabulous audience – you guys are truly the wind beneath my wings!
Now, let's talk about the reason we’re here – drag in the glorious year 2051! I mean, hello, it's the future! 🤯 I’d been expecting the futuristic drag equivalent of a robot queen on a LED screen. But honey, darling, the scene was absolutely fabulous! It’s like someone took the energy of RuPaul's Drag Race and threw it into a centrifuge of futuristic technology. We're talkin' light projections, custom 3D printed costumes, and drones delivering drinks in the middle of the performance – all while maintaining that iconic drag spirit of performance art, camp, and of course, fabulous fashion!
The drag scene in 2051, let’s call it Drag 3.0, felt like a giant celebration of queer artistry. You've got your classic queens performing to an audience in the metaverse while simultaneously having their performance broadcast to a holographic screen in the real world, and then you have these fantastic young performers using AI to create real-time costumes that transform during their acts. 🤯
The drag houses I encountered in 2051 were truly something special, with queens hailing from all over the globe! Imagine, if you will, a "House of Galaxy", where queens specialize in digital artistry, using their performance to create stunning virtual landscapes! There's also "House of Luminescence," a house famous for its glow-in-the-dark costumes and holographic makeup. The talent was truly staggering, and the energy was intoxicating! It’s been so inspiring to see the way the young queens of 2051 are pushing boundaries, and it’s made me even more determined to spread the joy of drag around the world – pink tutus for all, my darlings!
And that’s not all, I’ve even met the biggest legend – well, she wasn’t a legend yet! This young drag queen, she’s only 18 and a real beauty, called herself “Glamora.” Glamora was a fresh face, but her performances were everything! Imagine Britney Spears in a tutu – but in space! She has this magical glow, this fierce, playful, campy thing. Now I wouldn’t spoil the surprise – you’ll have to wait until I get back and tell you if she wins all the awards, but I think Glamora has the makings of a superstar, darling!
So, I know you’re probably dying to see photos, but the 2051 regulations forbid sharing holographic drag performance images without permission, darlings! I can’t be throwing copyright lawyers my way – no shade, that’s what I’ve been told – and I'm a girl who always wants to be on the right side of the law, darling! 😂
But rest assured, I’ll post photos of my fabulous tutu (that is still looking as good as new!), and of the fantastic queens I’ve met on www.pink-tutu.com.
Speaking of www.pink-tutu.com, I've launched a new section for drag queen time travel tips! Need advice on navigating a space-time anomaly in your sparkly pink ensemble? Look no further, darling! It's a must-read for any future time-travelling drag queen!
I'm so thrilled to be back, darlings, and I’ve got so much more to tell you! Stay tuned for more travel stories, fabulous fashions, and even more drag gossip, coming right up in the next installment!
Sending love and sparkles!
XOXO
Emma 💕
