I’m going to make this post short, because I’m still overwhelmed and in awe of the past weekend.

There are far too many people to thank. But firstly, a HUGE thank you and congratulations to EVERYONE who worked behind the scenes. The volunteers, the stall and food vendors, the bar staff, the security (especially Neil 😁), the sound and light techs, the artist liaisons, the photographers and videographers, every act that appeared over all the stages…YOU ARE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE. They say “it takes a village, people” and you are the absolute best!

The committee, who have produced and created an incredible event for an entire decade. Your hard work is inspiring. I’m in awe of you.

To Cunard and P&O - thank you for everything. You have been and always will be fantastic. Thank you for trusting me with a mic 😉

A special mention to my main squeezes, Aura Jay and Clare Oram - we fucking did that! You 2 are and always have been a joy to work with and I am honoured to share it with you every time.

Sam, my dresses you made for me were 2 of the best. I am in awe of your talent. The fact you have never made a gown before to pulling of 2, you should be so proud and I imagine you will have a lot of work coming your way!

And to you all, who came out, danced in the rain, for the gifts, the drinks, the photos, the constant love…you are wonderful. Thank you ❤️

I’m so sorry if I have forgotten anyone, my head is still a little foggy and I’ve caught a nasty virus 😭 but know I love and adore everyone involved.

Until 2027, UK Pride - let’s ‘av ittttttttt ❤️

📸STRIKE A POSE, MISCHIEF MAKERS! ✨📸

When @juliannewatlingmccarthy @clare_deloon @dawnthedragqueen and @aura.jay_ are told to pose nicely for a few Shinier Things pictures…

Obviously, “nicely” was never going to happen. 😂💅

Four divas. Far too much attitude. And enough shine to cause a genuine public safety issue. ✨

Just another completely normal day in the world of Shinier Things.

✨ Come join the mischief.

Well Brighton Pride is done for another year.

I am home, I have had a word with myself, I’m about to have a sit down shower and put my phone on DnD for the foreseeable!

But I absolutely had the best time. From having “welcome drinks” on Friday night, to performing to 300,000 people at the park on Saturday (I think that’s how many I counted), to working a bar shift at the Queen’s Arms on Saturday night which felt like I was standing on the sun, and then running around different venues yesterday to give them a slither of Dawn. It was a BALL!

I wanna take the time to congratulate EVERYONE involved in planning such a crazy weekend. All the bar staff, the security, the sound techs, the events organisers, the managers, the drag acts. EVERYONE. It’s so inspiring seeing how hard you work over the weekend and with zero complaints.

Thank you thank you thank you to each and every venue I had the pleasure of performing in. Queens Arms, Legends, Affinity, The Grosvenor, Bar Broadway, The Marine Tavern and the Legends Cabaret tent in the park. I’m so honoured to be asked to be part of your weekend.

I had the best time with EVERYONE ❤️ my heart is so full and my eyes and toes are so tired!

I love you all.

Now leave me alone for a bit 😉 by @dawnthedragqueen
