Darlings, hello! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed time traveller, Emma, bringing you the hottest scoop from the archives of drag history. November, oh how I adore this month, with its crisp air and the scent of bonfires, oh, but also with the magical world of drag in full bloom. You know the drill, it's time to shimmy into my magical, time-travelling tutu and let's dive into the fabulosity that awaits us!
November 2026: Drag Around the Globe!
Now, as we glide through the glitter-filled air of November 2026, the world of drag is simply bursting at the seams! In New York, the legendary Kiki Ballroom scene is thriving. We're talking voguing in ballrooms with neon lights and dazzling outfits, with a special shout-out to the house of Xtravaganza for their fierce performance at the legendary "The Pier" ballroom. Imagine it, darling! Body-painted queens with gravity-defying poses and a stage presence so fierce, it'd make a crystal glass shiver!
Over in London, the scene is equally electrifying. The famous drag bar "The Glory" is hosting "Glitter & Grit", a stunning cabaret showcasing both the raucous comedy of Miss Bustylicious, who brought the house down with her cheeky take on Theresa May, and the heart-wrenching performance of drag icon, Candy Darling, whose emotional ballad had the entire crowd shedding tears.
And then there's Melbourne, darling! "The Velvet Lounge" is where the action's hot. This month features "Camp Out", an event showcasing avant-garde drag artists, blending the theatrical with performance art. Imagine a dazzling tableau of colourful costumes, avant-garde makeup and a truly unique, unforgettable experience. The energy in Melbourne is truly electrifying, with its bold and boundary-pushing drag scene!
But wait, the adventures aren't over! Our magical pink tutu has taken us to Sydney, where "The Stonewall Inn" is hosting a phenomenal Drag Kings Night! I'm talking charming, swaggering, testosterone-filled performers with their slick moves and sharp suits, putting on a show to remember! And, of course, let's not forget our lovely drag queen DJ, spinning tunes to set the dance floor ablaze.
The journey continues! It wouldn't be a proper blog post without a peek into my time travels! My latest stop? Paris, oh, the chic capital of fashion! The famous "Moulin Rouge" is hosting "Luminous Dreams," featuring stunning ballet performances intertwined with drag performances. It's a perfect blend of elegance, artistry, and high-flying spectacle that would leave any queen (or king) absolutely mesmerised. Imagine dancers twirling in tutus and sequins with the grace of ballerinas and the cheeky charm of a drag queen. Talk about an explosion of glitter and glory!
Fashion Focus:
Now, darling, a girl like me can't be travelling through time without talking about fashion! This month, it's all about colour blocking, baby! From the vibrant turquoise leotard of a "Kiki Ballroom" queen, to the neon pink boots of a London performer, everyone is celebrating colour and confidence!
Emma's Corner:
Did you know? There's an international day for ballet on November 22nd! What better reason to bust out your pink tutu, a gorgeous pair of ballet shoes, and channel your inner prima ballerina!
And just imagine the fun! You can join a dance class with your girlfriends and feel those muscles burning (and maybe shed a few of those pre-holiday pounds!).
Remember, every day can be your "International Day of Ballet". There's nothing more empowering and beautiful than finding joy in the grace and flow of your body.
Oh, darling, don't forget, every queen needs a pink tutu in her life, even if it doesn't magically whisk you through time (although mine is quite special).
Until next month, keep those pink tutus sparkling! And if you ever get the chance to visit a drag show, don't miss it! You never know, it might just inspire your own inner drag queen!
XOXO, Emma
