Greetings, darlings! Your favourite pink-tutu-clad time traveller is back with another jam-packed post, fresh from a whirl through the glorious history of drag!
This month, my magical tutu whisked me right into the vibrant year of 2029. Now, this was a look, my dears! 2029 is a time when the world truly embraced drag with open arms, making it a powerful, playful, and inclusive force like never before! It's just as fabulous as you can imagine, all glitz and glamour with a healthy dose of social awareness, naturally!
But before I spill the tea on all the amazing drag delights I experienced, I must, of course, chat a bit about my journey! As always, a fresh, fabulously pink outfit is essential for time travel. This month, I'm wearing a fluffy pink tutu with layers of tulle, sparkly diamante trim, and a custom-made corseted bodice - just a dash of corsetry to make sure everything is tucked and ready for time travel, you know! I paired it with a bright pink sequined bomber jacket, just in case the air got a tad nippy!
The journey was swift as always! One twirl in my magical tutu, and poof, I was whisked through the portal and landed right in the heart of New York City! The atmosphere was electric, my dears! Drag shows are taking over everywhere in 2029, not just clubs, but theatres, street performances, and even virtual reality experiences! The diversity of artists is phenomenal â think flamboyant clowns, sleek sci-fi queens, even historical drag with a twist!
A World in Pink!Now, I know you're dying to know what's happening on the world drag scene in 2029! The highlights? Where do I even begin!
International Drag Competitions: Imagine drag pageants held on every continent, all celebrating the unique beauty of diverse talent! I caught a live stream of the "Queen of the Galaxy" competition, where queens from different planets⌠or so I'm told... competed in a cosmically fabulous battle! I even caught the eye of a delightful, shimmering, silver-hued queen from Mars named Starbright â she has a wonderful talent for glitter artistry!
Drag Street Style: Itâs the norm for everyone, including men and women alike, to incorporate elements of drag into their daily wardrobes, from fabulous footwear to sparkling accessories! This fusion of style is absolutely electrifying and it's fantastic to see! The âTutu Tuesdaysâ trend has really caught on in 2029! Itâs the most exciting thing! Even your favourite celebrities have started adopting tutus! I am living my best life!
The Global Drag Education Project: A worldwide effort to introduce drag as part of school curriculums! Yes, you heard that right! Children learn about drag history, expression, and social issues! A whole new generation of fabulous minds are getting introduced to this amazing art form. And the best part is? Everyone in my hometown of Derbyshire are taking it all in stride! The teachers are embracing the pink tutu with open arms!
The Rise of Virtual Drag: My darlings, imagine stepping into a fully immersive, digital drag world, filled with interactive shows, custom outfits, and a global community of digital queens! In 2029, virtual drag has gone mainstream, offering boundless creative possibilities! Itâs absolutely fabulous to think that virtual drag experiences are making drag accessible to everyone, regardless of their location, body, or even identity! This has been an absolute delight to see. Just try saying âvirtual drag experienceâ to a granny from the 90âs, theyâd say âfancy!â in their finest posh tone.
Drag Activism on the Rise: 2029 marks a turning point in drag activism, with queens around the globe advocating for inclusivity, LGBTQ+ rights, and challenging social injustices! Thereâs a new generation of queens using their platforms to raise awareness and drive real change. Drag activism is inspiring and changing the world! I am truly impressed with the evolution and maturity of activism!
But all the incredible events and global movements didn't overshadow the local drag scene!
Drag Queens of New York:My stay in New York City wasn't just about global trends, it was also about celebrating the local talent. Here are some of my favourite queens from the 2029 NYC scene:
Lola âThe Laser Queenâ Luminous: Lolaâs style is all about sci-fi-inspired neon lights, robotic movements, and dramatic makeup. She's been known to levitate above the stage with lasers and projections! She had an absolutely brilliant "Laser Show" at The Ritz Theatre that just blew me away, truly amazing! I just adored her shimmering purple suit, perfect for an extra-terrestrial Queen!
Daphne âThe Divineâ de la Crème: Imagine an ethereal blend of avant-garde fashion and performance art with a splash of burlesque! This queen brings the theatrical with dramatic costume changes and a talent for storytelling through movement and expression! She captivated the audience at The Cotton Club with her "Under the Sea" show â it was all aquatic textures and flowy silhouettes, pure magic!
"DJ" Desmond "Des" Jones: I simply couldn't miss the biggest Drag DJ on the planet, Desmond âDesâ Jones! I saw his set at "The House of Dreams," a truly phenomenal venue in the heart of New York! Desâs music has that amazing blend of classic drag anthems with modern, synth-pop sounds. He creates an atmosphere like no other!
New York's nightlife is simply dazzling in 2029! It's brimming with creativity, and it's fabulous to see the incredible drag scene here really taking center stage! But even New York's magic can't rival the power of a pink tutu.
A Final WordI am utterly mesmerized by this time period! The world has truly embraced drag, and this fantastic form of art has become a global celebration of creativity, inclusion, and self-expression! The world's appreciation for drag in 2029 has truly transformed the entire globe, with people from all walks of life proudly embracing the wonderful world of drag. The sheer volume of fantastic performances available just shows how much drag has grown.
