Hey babes! Emma here, your gal from Derbyshire, back from another mind-blowing adventure through the fabulous fabric of time! This month, my magical pink tutu took me all the way to 2051, the distant future. ๐ฒ Honestly, it's giving total sci-fi fantasy, and I'm living for it!
So, my dears, pack your glittery makeup palettes and prepare for a whirlwind tour of drag history! Today's post will be focusing on what was happening in the drag world in July 2051. Trust me, darlings, it's everything. Think drag ball battles on the moon, underwater lip-synching spectacles, and the rise of drag royalty from outer space. You heard that right, darling! Aliens in drag! The future of drag is definitely out of this world! โจ๐
The Drag Ball SceneLet's start with the iconic, legendary Drag Ball scene, because honestly, nothing gets my heart racing like seeing drag divas in their full glory! ๐ 2051 was a game changer in the ball scene because, well, let's just say gravity is no longer an issue! Imagine strutting your stuff on the surface of the moon, all draped in sequins, in a shimmering gown, and towering platforms. ๐ โจ And let me tell you, the legendary Drag Houses, like the legendary House of Avalon, the House of Shangri-La and even some new fabulous ones like the House of Neptune, were competing for lunar dominion in this ultimate, out-of-this-world showdown. ๐๐
There was even this mind-boggling, incredible, drag ball hosted by a legendary drag icon named โDrag-n-Botโ, which was basically a robot that performed a perfectly lip-synced, glamorous dance number to a techno beat. The entire thing was truly iconic! But don't be fooled by the glam - drag battles in the future were just as fierce as they were in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the awards ceremonies were as high-camp, sparkly, and outrageous as you can imagine.
Drag in Outer Space!But my dear divas, the moon was just the tip of the iceberg, honey. Drag in 2051 extended far beyond earth! The Drag Queen Astronauts Society โ thatโs a mouthful, isnโt it? โ had a whole fleet of ships taking drag performers on cosmic tours of the galaxy! ๐ ๐ผ๐ They performed on space stations, held interstellar drag ball competitions in zero gravity, and hosted galactic lip-synching extravaganzas on comets.
There was a stunning performance from a fierce queen called "Astro Girl," who did a mind-blowing act on an exploding supernova backdrop. She lip-synched a song about cosmic love, a new hit, "My Star is Burning For You,โ which is totally becoming a global sensation. Imagine this, darling, this iconic drag show, while literally flying through the vacuum of space. Talk about iconic! ๐ซ
The Importance of โPink" In The FutureI mean, naturally, I had to see what my favorite color, pink, was up to in this era! I'm not gonna lie, the 2051 fashion scene was pretty wild - holographic jumpsuits, liquid metallic garments, and body modifications that were just pure magic. But you know what I discovered? The power of pink never goes out of style, honey. ๐
Every single drag show I saw in 2051 had at least one performer sporting a pink tutu, even if it was a slightly different shade than mine! There was a queen called โPrincess Aurora,โ she even had a sparkly holographic pink tutu. It felt like the universe itself was telling me: โPink is eternal, darling.โ
Fashion Focus - Under The Sea, Under The Sea! ๐ ๐Of course, no drag-loving time traveller can pass up an opportunity to see some extraordinary drag fashion! In 2051, underwater drag became a massive phenomenon. These performers donned futuristic, bio-luminescent costumes and makeup, They had this incredible ability to move like fish! ๐ Imagine lip-syncing on an underwater platform while bubbles shimmered all around. I saw a performance called, โThe Little Mermaidโs Revenge," a beautiful and empowering show with a queen named "Ursula," who had this absolutely mesmerizing tail covered in pearls. She lip-synched "Part of Your World" which had all of the original musical notes with an electronica twist, and you just know she's about to conquer the ocean with her fierce vocals. The sound of her vocals mixed with the background underwater musical symphony of bubbles. It was something to behold, honey!
I bought myself a gorgeous iridescent blue shimmering fish-scale costume with a massive, bright pink bow for my new underwater routine. Just you wait! This monthโs drag performance involves water, so get ready for the most aquatic drag show of your lives!
The International Scene!The world of drag, as you all know, has always been international. And in 2051, that was even more true! ๐ There were international drag festivals in every corner of the world. They took place on glaciers, in desert oases, and in some places, even in the heart of the Amazon jungle! The energy of these global performances was absolutely mind-blowing, as different cultures blended and mixed, forming drag experiences unlike anything the world has ever seen.
From Tokyo to Sao Paolo, there was even a drag show held in a place called "Wonderland City" which was this super futuristic place in the United Arab Emirates. A queen named โQwerty" performed an electrifying lip-sync set to some super-hit new K-pop songs and even the audience was wearing some of the most insane futuristic couture! ๐ โจ The show incorporated all of the latest AI-designed fashion, virtual reality headsets, and robotic dancers that blended flawlessly with her fierce moves! I even met a drag performer named โMocha Latte,โ who said she could even blend a mean cappuccino from her magical make-up compact. The way the futuristic performers moved around the venue using an augmented reality tech overlay, a mix of drag queens and holographic, animated dancing, really changed the nature of the performance in a major way.
What's Happening Next!The drag scene in 2051 truly exceeded even my wildest imagination, darling! The future of drag, it seems, is brighter than ever, and its all thanks to the dedication, talent, and sheer heart of these fantastic drag queens!
Of course, Iโm dying to share all these incredible details from my time traveling adventures with you lovelies! My next time travel will be to the 19th Century to check out the origins of drag in London's infamous West End!
But until next time, honey, get your pink tutus ready, and letโs celebrate all things drag! Itโs an art form that's evolved, reinvented, and transcended time, reminding us that, truly, the future is pink!
Until next month, keep it fabulous!
Your girl,
Emma
