DragCon NYC: Is Our Glitter-Filled Dream Over?
Okay, so let’s talk about the elephant in the sparkly, sequined room: DragCon NYC. Remember those magical days of endless glitter, sickening runway looks, and meeting your drag queen idols? Sigh. We miss it too. But the question on everyone's lips is: Will it ever come back?
The DragCon Drought
It’s been a while since we’ve had the pleasure of sashayin’ into the Javits Center for a weekend of pure, unadulterated drag. Some say it’s like our inner fish is gasping for water. We're starting to think DragCon NYC might be as elusive as a snatched waistline after a slice of pizza.
There have been whispers, rumors, and even the occasional tea spill about a potential DragCon NYC comeback. But let's be real, tea spills can be as reliable as a squirrel's weather forecast.
What We Miss Most
- The Shopping: From sickening wigs to custom-made gowns, there was something for everyone. And let's not forget those limited edition merch drops that had us refreshing our carts faster than Bianca Del Rio can clap back.
- The Panels: Learning about the artistry, the business, and the drama from the queens themselves? Iconic.
- The Performances: Main stage slayage, meet-and-greets, and photo ops that would make Instagram jealous.
- The Community: Connecting with fellow drag fans, finding your tribe, and feeling like you belonged.
So, Will It Happen?
Honestly, your guess is as good as ours. We're keeping our fingers crossed, our hopes high, and our glitter supply stocked. Until then, we'll just have to keep rewatching old DragCon videos and pretending we're there.
