Hello, darlings! Emma here, your resident time-travelling tutu-tastic blogger from Derbyshire! Buckle up, babes, because this month’s adventure takes us a whopping forty-three years into the future, to a fabulous December in the year 2055! Can you believe it? 2055! And as always, my trusty pink tutu and I are ready to embrace every fabulous moment.
Now, you may be asking, "Emma, how do you even afford to keep zipping through time?". Well, I’m just a regular girl (well, regular-ish – my sparkly boots are kind of a giveaway), who works hard and loves drag. To make my time-traveling dreams a reality, I keep myself busy doing what I love – strutting my stuff on stage and bringing that drag magic to life. All that hard work, my darlings, lets me afford the little luxury of whisking myself around the world through time, so we can celebrate the history of drag together.
But enough about me, let’s dive into this absolutely dazzling 2055, shall we? This is a future brimming with wonder and sparkle! As I landed my pink-tutu-powered time machine (yes, you read that right!), I found myself on the bustling streets of New York City, but not just any New York City. The city of 2055 had soaring, neon-lit skyscrapers reaching for the sky, hovercars zooming around, and...hold onto your wigs, darlings...actual floating, iridescent drag stages hovering over the crowds!
I kid you not. This future New York, darling, was a living, breathing Drag Race. And the crowds, oh my, were dressed in fabulous, futuristic-meets-retro styles! Think cyberpunk, space age meets flapper gowns and holographic fishnet stockings! Absolutely stunning, darlings, just utterly breathtaking. I immediately took notes, obviously, because how else would you keep up with trends in the year 2055?!
The best part, though? This year, drag was everywhere. It wasn't confined to just stage shows anymore. I spotted performers doing incredible “tutu-tacular” tap dances on floating holographic billboards, drag kings spinning tales on holographic storytelling projections beamed across city rooftops, and even holographic drag performances projecting on the moon! You heard me right, on the MOON, darlings!
That night, I found myself at the most incredible drag venue in the heart of this bustling metropolis: the "Space Odyssey." Can you even imagine? This wasn’t just a nightclub, darlings, it was a multi-sensory drag experience with projections and holographic dancers all choreographed to the most incredible tunes! I found myself on the dance floor, feeling that familiar, wonderful feeling of euphoria that comes from being at a fabulous drag show, only a million times more incredible.
What a treat, that 2055! You see, darlings, it really proves that drag, in all its fantastic and glittering forms, transcends time. In 2055, as it is now, drag queens were (and are) the stars, the movers, and the shakers. They’re bringing joy and laughter to every corner of this vibrant and imaginative world.
But before we get too carried away by the glitz and glam of 2055, let’s take a look at a few of the exciting drag events taking place around the world that year.
Drag Shows on the Horizon!
- The International Drag Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony: It seems as though this was a big one, taking place in Las Vegas with a ceremony at the iconic Bellagio hotel. And get this, darling, there was even an actual spaceship landing for a performance by the Drag Universe's Biggest Star during the finale! I can only dream of being on that stage. Imagine the tutu possibilities!
- The First Annual Drag Olympics: This was HUGE, my darlings! From lip sync battles to a drag queen synchronized swimming competition, this event drew the eyes of the world, celebrating athleticism and creativity! And apparently, the whole event was dedicated to remembering those early drag legends who paved the way, a wonderful and inspiring tribute.
- The Global Drag Fashion Week: Think high fashion meets haute couture drag. With shows across the world in London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and even on the Moon, this was an amazing celebration of all things fashion, style, and, of course, drag! The runways were absolutely fabulous, darling, with incredible couture designs showcasing dazzling light and shadow play – truly stunning.
- "The Drag Universe" Television Series: Can we even? In 2055, they have a full drag show universe unfolding before them, on screens worldwide! With incredible challenges, drama, and fierce performances, “The Drag Universe” was a must-watch, proving that drag is still captivating audiences globally.
There you have it, darling, the incredible world of drag in 2055! I hope you’re inspired by this glimpse into the future, and you never know, maybe you’ll be there with me next time! Until then, darling, remember to always bring the pink! And remember, no matter the year or the century, the one and only true rule of drag is that there’s room for all of us. So, put on your biggest, most flamboyant outfit, put on your best pair of shoes, and dance, dance, dance! I'll see you at the next fabulous event!
Always in Pink, Emma x
