Hello my darlings! It's your favourite tutu-wearing time traveller, Emma, back with another exciting installment from my adventures through the glittering tapestry of drag history! This month, I'm jetting (well, more like twirling) forward to the futuristic wonderland that is February 2034. Fancy a glimpse into the fabulous future, darlings? Let's sashay!
This time travel, though, wasnāt a complete success. I found myself face-to-face with a rather grumpy looking security robot at the entrance to a drag club called āThe Galactic Glitzā. I explained that I was a "drag historian" from the past and wanted to see the show! The robot looked like it couldnāt quite make up its mind if I was being a) hilarious b) delusional c) a security risk. Luckily, after a short rendition of my signature "pink tutu" power ballad and a sprinkle of my dazzling pink glitter (which, as we all know, can get you through any locked door and every grumpy robotās security protocols!), the robot begrudgingly let me through. Honestly, darling, these machines need a good dose of drag to lighten them up!
āThe Galactic Glitzā is everything I've ever dreamed of! The entire space is this gloriously vibrant and cosmic pink, you know, the sort of pink that makes you want to put on a tutu and start dancing in a field of neon-lit galaxies. Honestly, I couldn't wait to tell the drag queens in my hometown of Derby, about this wonderful space - I think a few might even have the right tutu in their wardrobe already!
Now, let's talk about the shows. It was a feast for the eyes, darlings! We had:
Cosmic Catwalk Queens: Think drag with an interstellar twist - intergalactic catwalks, dazzling laser lights, and holographic make-up. Honestly, these girls looked like they'd come straight out of a cyberpunk anime, complete with gravity-defying, iridescent ensembles.
Robo-Roasts: If you've ever been to a roast, imagine it amplified a hundred-fold with witty AI-powered puns, robotic puppets doing stand-up, and more laughter than you can shake a shimmering feather boa at! Let's just say I was on the floor rolling with laughter!
Interactive Performance Arts: Forget boring audience participation - these acts were wild! One queen, decked out in holographic leggings and a shimmering LED bra (oh darling, where can I get one of those!), used her mind to control a kaleidoscopic light show! Talk about immersive entertainment!
The shows weren't just confined to "The Galactic Glitz". Apparently, drag is huge on the metaverse! I know it's hard to wrap your mind around drag in the metaverse, but you're thinking of 3D, holographic avatars dancing and singing - seriously glamorous and utterly futuristic! But itās not just all digital, there are real world drag events - Drag shows at moon bases, ocean liner shows, underwater theatrical performances in bioluminescent bubbles! This future really has it all! I can't even imagine trying to do drag underwater - how does your wig even stay on?!
The whole world has adopted a āwear-it-loudā fashion philosophy, darlings! We're talking massive platform boots, luminous wigs, clothing made from recyclable materials, and every shade of pink imaginable! Honestly, you can see the joy on everyone's faces ā it's infectious, and it all started with drag!
So, what did I learn from my journey to the year 2034? Firstly, the future is bright ā pink! The drag community is more vibrant than ever, and the whole world has taken inspiration from our incredible sense of individuality and self-expression. And finally, a little bit of glitter can truly take you anywhere ā even into a future that's oh-so-fabulous!

XOXO,
Emma, the Tutu Time Traveller
