A SHOW TO REMEMBER

As Miss Hendrix approaches, so does another Miss Hendrix Issue by the Profile! Traditionally, the Profile reveals insider information on Miss Hendrix before the rest of the public knows. This year is no different. Campus Kitty is going all out on Miss Hendrix, and so are the contestants – bets are in, and we say it will be the best Miss Hendrix ever!

So, what is Miss Hendrix, Y2Kitty?? Easy. It’s Miss Hendrix, the beloved drag event hosted by Campus Kitty that raises money for charity, but this time, with a little Y2K flair.

Y2K, for those who remember, refers to one of the most popular doomsday theories in modern history. The theory was that all computers were only programmed to reach December 31st, 1999 at 11:59 p.m. and, that once the world entered the new century, the entire technological system would crash, sending our world into oblivion. Now, Y2K is known as the time period between the late 90s and early 00s, and usually references the aesthetic trends of the time, with notable elements of opulence, campy couture, and lots of low-rise denim. Basically, the Y2K fashion goes against everything from the 2010’s, a time of fashion which was defined by neutral hipster aesthetics that fought against the colorful trends of what came before it.

In the upcoming Miss Hendrix show, opulence is being taken to an entirely new level, with design plans, mixtapes, and a runway portion that is all an ode to Y2K fab that makes Gen Z’ers ache with nostalgia from their earliest memories.

The drag contestants this year aren’t playing games, either. Not only are there two more than last year, but the competition was stiff to get one of the coveted six spots that were offered. Based on insider information from the few who have seen what these performers are capable of, Hendrix students are about to witness the best Miss Hendrix event they’ve ever seen.

To top it off, Media Committee representation is more prevalant than ever, with the Profile Editor-in-Chief, Aonian Editor-in-Chief, and KHDX Station Manager performing as backup dancers, and the Media Committee Chair, Profile Photo Editor, and KHDX Social Media Manager performing as some of the drag contestants. We, as a media org, are proud to see this representation!
