Hello darlings! Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-clad time-travelling blogger, bringing you all the latest from the glittering world of drag! Today's date? September 2060, and let me tell you, my darling dears, it's a roar-some one!
My latest adventure took me to the neon-bright streets of Tokyo, where I discovered an absolute treasure - a drag competition called "Dragolicious!" - held in a sprawling, multi-level nightclub with an amazing view over the shimmering Tokyo skyline! Can you imagine, honey? My time-traveling tutu had never experienced a rooftop bar like this one, and the drag, oh my goodness, the drag was just magnificent!
The theme of the competition was future drag fashion, which you just know I had to wear something absolutely outlandish for! This glorious neon pink tulle skirt and my signature pink-feather-adorned corset? Pure fabulous, hun!
Let's talk about the queens, darlings! This night was full of vibrant looks and flamboyant performances. We had Gaga-esque glam queens draped in silver metallics and cascading holographic sequins, and goth-meets-cyberpunk creations with neon, glowing bodies and sculpted, angular hair - they were a vision! But I have to admit, my favourite performer was a sassy queen who called herself “Pinky Pixel,” she donned a glittering, digitalised costume made from recycled circuits, and her lipsync to a remix of an ancient ABBA song? Oh darling, it had the whole crowd cheering and screaming!
Back at home in Derbyshire, where everything's a bit calmer than the dazzling neon landscapes of Tokyo, I was busy preparing for my monthly fundraising drag performance! You know me, darling, always using the talents I was given - or should I say, spun with by my magic pink tutu! – to help other drag queens with their time-traveling ambitions! We all have to start somewhere!
Speaking of fundraising, you'll find a link to my online shop below! We're pushing pink tutus hard, you know, it’s the ultimate drag statement! Get yourself one, darling! Every pink tutu purchased brings a young drag queen closer to experiencing time travel! We need every queen travelling, sweetie, across every time period, because we’re all part of one glorious history!
What else is happening in the world of drag today? Paris, oh Paris, you never fail to inspire, you know! There's an extravagant show featuring a spectacular production by the "Rainbow Rebel Alliance," an amazing group who perform incredible political commentary and historical storytelling through dance and song. You just know I was there in the audience! They were highlighting important drag pioneers from the early days of the 21st Century, you know, like those amazing folks like RuPaul who really shaped drag for the generations to come. And it’s all presented in this jaw-droppingly fabulous production with intricate costume designs! The detail darling, the detail! The outfits, honey, you wouldn’t believe them!
Okay, I can't barely contain myself! There's so much more to talk about: New York’s "House of Draconia" is celebrating their tenth anniversary! Their annual gala is known for the elaborate and sometimes *slightly ridiculous* ball performances – they just get wilder and wilder each year, with extravagant costume themes you wouldn't believe. I just can’t wait for my chance to check that one out next year, darling, when I’ll be gracing the gala in a show-stopping sequined ensemble I've been designing!
Meanwhile, over in India - they've got a massive street festival happening called "Pride On Parade," and there’s a whole section dedicated to "Queen-tastic Traditions,” a brilliant celebration of all sorts of different traditional dances and costumes! My dear, you just know that the traditional Indian Drag Queen style is one of the most magnificent and inspiring in the world - these beautiful queens, their breathtaking attire, those glorious dance moves… I’m definitely planning to do a special post on them!
The world of drag is truly exploding everywhere! The community, you guys, you’re all such a blessing! So many different ways to experience this gorgeous world – from a sassy, playful nightclub to a street parade, from an outrageous runway to a heartfelt stage play. I truly believe that drag brings together the best of human creativity and divine flair! It's pure expression and heartfelt fun and everyone needs a little more of that!
Speaking of fun, if you’re new here, remember, honey, that my time travel adventure is powered by the joy I bring through drag! The shows I put on help fund the next journey – which might take me right to your neighbourhood, or it might whisk me away to the dusty, cobbled streets of ancient Rome, you never know! Every like and comment gets me closer to reaching a brand new time period. So please, share this post and get ready for more pinktastic time-travelling shenanigans!
Because as you know darling, it's never too late to have a bit of pink tutu fun in your life, wherever you may be!
Till next month, darling! Xoxo, Emma.
