This Saturday night, Pace University students had the opportunity to see something out of the ordinary- a male beauty pageant.
From 9:00 p.m. to around 11:00 p.m., seven different male Pace students strutted their stuff down the runway competing to win the title of “Deepher Dude”. Held in The Gottesman Room in Kessel Student Center by the sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon, the audience sat at tables cheering on their friends and enjoying the different food and candy provided.
For the two hours that they were on the runway, the participants took turns modeling outfits in three different categories- formal wear, swimsuit, and costumes. Participants took their own different spins on these categories, with one wearing sweatpants during the formal section, one wearing a bikini top during the swimsuit section, and one dressing up as Donald Trump in the costume section. Throughout the night, they were also interviewed, being asked questions like “If you were a color, what would you be and why?” and “If you knew tonight were your last night on earth, how would you spend it?”, amongst many others. After the three rounds, the judges deliberated, and ultimately the top three were participants Tyler, in third place, Carlos, in second place, and Lee, taking the top prize and being crowned the new “Deepher Dude”.
The event gave an opportunity for students to have fun while also raising money for one of their philanthropies- cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that causes mucus buildup in the lungs, often resulting in respiratory infections. Charging $5 admission, the money collected went towards treatment and research for curing this disease.
