Hello, my darlings! Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-wearing, time-travelling, drag queen extraordinaire! It's been a whirlwind of a month, but as always, I'm back with another thrilling tale from my adventures across the space-time continuum! This month, I've set my sparkly sights on the fabulous future, 2055, to be exact. Buckle up, loves, it's gonna be a dazzling ride!
Remember last month's post about the fabulous '30s? Well, this trip was totally different, like the difference between a glamorous, sequined ballroom gown and a sleek, futuristic jumpsuits, ya know? This trip was less flapper-era and more about… well… robots! Seriously, these future humans, they have these amazing robotic assistants that help them with everything! Fancy a hot cuppa, darling? No problem! Your little robot friend just brings you a cup! Oh, and did I mention there were holograms? Not just the sparkly kind on our dance floor but like, walking, talking holograms. I bumped into a robot bartender serving cocktails… well… not quite cocktails… it was all bio-engineered to match cocktails, see? Fascinating!
Anyways, enough about the gadgets and gizmos. What’s more exciting is that drag itself has reached unprecedented heights! The global drag scene in 2055 was, frankly, spectacular! It was more inclusive than ever before. From the most futuristic, neon-bright designs you've ever seen, to shows held on giant, floating stages, it truly was a drag lover’s paradise. You wouldn't believe the costumes, all made from sustainable, iridescent materials - talk about eco-fabulous!
Now, as a staunch believer in pink tutus, my mission, darling, my life's purpose, is to ensure the world is consumed by their loveliness! You know, every day, the same thing… 'Emma, it's not practical,' or 'Tutus are only for ballet, darling,' they'd say. Wrong! It was a major challenge, but I knew my time-traveling skills could make all the difference! And let me tell you, my dear readers, by the end of my visit, I truly made progress. I found out that in the future, people embraced ALL sorts of styles, even tutu-infused, drag queen fabulousness!
Oh, and can we talk about drag venues in 2055? Forget small clubs, my darlings, it was more like massive, vibrant spaces. My favourite one? A colossal drag stage in the heart of London (the London of the future, obviously!). I even managed to catch the opening night of ‘Tutus of Tomorrow’! Now, this show… It had holographic drag queens doing high kicks across the galaxy… yes, literally. And the audience… it went wild! This experience reminded me, my dears, that drag has no boundaries… no space, no time, it's truly universal!
Before I got lost in a time vortex (long story involving a holographic queen and a poorly timed twirl!), I had the chance to meet with some amazing artists who were shaking things up in 2055. There was Celeste Stardust, a future queen with shimmering purple dreadlocks, and a showstopping look made of recyclable glowsticks. It was so chic! And don’t even get me started on ‘Disco Dazzle’, he was serving full-body glitter, doing a lip-sync performance to… guess what… ‘It's Raining Men!’ I mean, some things never get old! I think my smile must have reached orbit by the end of the performance.
On my way to 2055, I stopped by in the ‘20s. I was lucky enough to catch a little dance number in a jazz club. Honestly, darling, I loved the speakeasy style, the music, the dancing… flapper chic. It was just what I needed before I jumped to the future.
Back to my present, where it’s back to business! It was such a magical trip. You can find all the pictures of my future adventures on my Instagram, where you’ll see my futuristic look, my new ‘galaxy-style’ pink tutu, and even some snippets of ‘Tutus of Tomorrow.’
That’s all for this month. Keep on strutting, keep on shining and of course… Keep on wearing your pink tutus! Because who knows what time travel adventure awaits us all next month…
Love, Emma xx
