EVENT 67 - Drag’d Out Rainbow Ball
Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball: An Unforgettable Night in Beechworth with Mermaidia Braids! 🌈
When Beechworth puts on a show, it really puts on a show! The Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball was nothing short of spectacular, and Mermaidia Braids was over the moon to be part of such an electrifying and colourful event. 🌟
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was alive with excitement, glitter, and a true celebration of individuality and expression. Drag queens and kings strutted their fabulous selves across the stage, commanding the room with dazzling performances, sharp wit, and jaw-dropping costumes. The audience cheered, clapped, and laughed along, fully immersed in the magic of the night.
Braiding Into the Rainbow Magic
Right in the middle of all this glittering energy, Mermaidia Braids had its own little corner of magic. Our setup was buzzing with people eager to add even more sparkle to their look for the evening. Colours were flying—vibrant pinks, electric blues, shimmering purples, and every shade of the rainbow in between. It wasn’t just about the braids, though; every single person Michelle braided wanted one thing: sparkles! ✨
Seeing everyone’s faces light up as we added those magical glittery touches made Michelle’s night. It was like a cascade of happiness, with braids and sparkles weaving together the spirit of the event. Whether it was a young child’s first time rocking rainbow braids or a seasoned attendee adding flair to their fabulous drag look, every style felt special.
A Night of Storytelling and Connection
The Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball wasn’t just about the incredible performances. There was also an engaging Drag Queen Q&A, where these larger-than-life artists shared their stories, experiences, and insights into what it means to live authentically. It was a heartwarming and inspiring part of the day, showing the strength, resilience, and joy that comes with embracing who you are.
And let’s talk about story time! Drag queens captivated everyone with tales that had the audience hanging onto every word—children and adults alike. These moments reminded us all of the power of storytelling and how it brings people together.
Music, Fire, and Energy
No celebration is complete without amazing music, and the Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball delivered in style. The beats kept the energy alive, with people dancing, laughing, and celebrating. Just when we thought the night couldn’t get any brighter, a fire show lit up the evening, leaving the crowd mesmerised.
There’s something about flames dancing against the backdrop of a rainbow-themed event that feels almost poetic—a fiery reminder of the passion and pride at the heart of the LGBTQIA+ community.
A Vibe to Remember
The energy at the Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball was infectious. It wasn’t just the performances or the braids or the sparkles—it was the people. Everyone came together with an open heart and a shared sense of joy and acceptance. From the teenage crowd excitedly twirling their new braids to the seasoned queens and kings turning heads with their fabulous looks, it was a space where everyone could be their true selves.
For Mermaidia Braids, it was a privilege to be part of such a vibrant event. Sharing our craft with such an amazing crowd, being surrounded by creativity and inclusivity, and feeling the energy of the night left us with full hearts and glittery smiles.
Until Next Time, Beechworth!
As the night wound down and the last braid was sparkled up, we packed up our colourful little corner feeling inspired and energised. The Drag'd Out Rainbow Ball wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of love, pride, and community. We’re already counting down the days until we can do it all again.
