Hello, darling divas! Emma here, your favourite Derbyshire drag queen, ready to whisk you away on another time-travelling escapade in my magical pink tutu! This month, I'm off to the year 2061, a time that seems both incredibly futuristic and tantalisingly familiar all at once! Buckle your sparkly belts, darlings, this ride's about to get pinker than a flamingo on a sugar rush!
Now, I know what you're thinking - 2061?! You bet! Even as a seasoned time-travelling queen, the thought of stepping into the far-future always sends shivers down my feather boa. But darling, there's something electrifying about the unknown. Imagine all the glitter, the groundbreaking performances, the fabulous fashion, the future of drag itself waiting to be unveiled!
This month, I was especially eager to get a peek into the world of drag in 2061. My latest performance at The Sugar Plum Ball was a sellout (thanks to everyone who snagged a ticket!), which funded this trip - wouldn't be a true drag queen time traveler if I didn't have the glamour! So, I packed my sequin-encrusted suitcase with a whole rainbow of tutus (because every queen knows - pink isn't just for Wednesdays) and jumped into my time machine (yes, darling, you heard me right - a magical time-traveling pink tutu).
Upon arrival, the first thing that struck me was the sheer volume of colour everywhere! The city pulsed with vibrant neon lights that painted a dazzling canvas against the crisp night sky. A symphony of holographic projections danced on the buildings, a beautiful mix of the futuristic and the familiar, evoking those iconic sci-fi movies, but with an artistic edge, almost reminiscent of a fantastical drag runway. And oh, darling, let's talk fashion! Imagine if haute couture designers had a love child with the flamboyant outfits from old Hollywood movies – that was the fashion I encountered in 2061. Think daring metallics, geometric patterns, and textures that shimmered like liquid diamonds, a visual feast for a queen like myself!
But my darling, the real treat was witnessing drag itself in the year 2061. It was like watching a dream unfurl before my very eyes! Imagine, if you will, a holographic drag ball with digital projections of ancient Egyptian queens doing death drops against a backdrop of 1950s New York cityscape! A ballroom scene like I had never imagined before! There were futuristic performances infused with the DNA of legendary queens of yesteryear - drag kings who combined acrobatic feats with witty social commentary, and a fierce drag queen who mesmerized the audience with her spoken word performance and interactive LED dress, each word she spoke creating a new visual masterpiece! I even saw a drag performer doing the "Can Can" on a flying drone, yes you heard that right, darling, a drone! It was truly an electric spectacle of creativity. It made me realize that drag has never been about boundaries, it's about breaking them, re-imagining them, and celebrating all forms of expression!
My dear, I wish I could share more of the phenomenal performances I witnessed - but you know, darling, sometimes words simply can't capture the magic. You had to be there to fully grasp the extraordinary energy, the heart-stopping costumes, the thunderous applause. Imagine the most beautiful dream mixed with the wildest, most beautiful fantasies - that is what it felt like to experience 2061's drag scene.
So, my darling divas, if you get the chance, visit the year 2061. Witness the evolution of drag. And be inspired, for drag knows no boundaries, it only knows flair, style, and most importantly, expression! Now get out there and show the world what YOU can do! But don’t forget to wear pink. A girl’s gotta stand out from the crowd! And darling, I am obsessed with wearing pink tutus – it’s my passion! Spread the word. Let's get the world wearing tutus!
