Alright class, let’s turn our Herstory books to page 163, where you will find the chapter on the word “henny.” The term, first popularized by Stacy Layne Matthews/Stacy Lane Bryant Matthews/Stacy Layne Matthews Lattisaw Q, quickly became a catchphrase for the ages. But behind this seemingly benign word lies a dark, complicated, and bloody history.
Henny in its natural form. It’s a liquid at room temperature:

For millions of years, henny bees perfected the art of creating the sweet syrupy substance known as henny, until finally the day of the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 3 arrived, and people and henny bees everywhere gasped as this goddess trotted onto our TV screens.
The Patron Saint of Henny:
http://i.imgur.com/TlHJgQU.png Stacy Layne had arrived, intending to spread peace, happiness, and henny to the world using the art of drag. But sadly, this is where the trouble began. For you see, there were those who were opposed to Stacy’s mission from the start. Those who were secretly fighting against a future utopian world with neverending henny-ness. They were known as the Heathers, and they formed a powerful axis of evil with the intention of vanquishing Stacy Layne and henny FOREVER.
The Hennemies at their most DASTARDLY:

It was an epic battle for the ages, and along the way, the forces of henny suffered heavy losses. For a while, it seemed as if no one took henny seriously. Finally, henny hit rock bottom when Stacy was forced to lip sync for her life against the forces of India Ferrah and her shadowy crotch spider, but in the end, henny prevailed. Although they was safe for the time being, this gave henny and Stacy the wake up call the needed to step it up. And step it up they did.
Henny bees everywhere rejoice at Stacy’s challenge win:

Things were looking bright for henny, but sadly, all good things must come to an end.
Where Have All the C?o?w?b?o?y?s? Henny Bees Gone?:

Stacy was asked to make a red velvet cake design, and sadly she did not meet expectations. Put into the bottom two, she was out lip synced and sent packing. Thus the reign of Stacy Layne Matthews, and therefore the reign of henny, sadly came to an end. And that, my students, is the long, dramatic, ultimately tragic story of henny.
On a final note, did anyone else notice that the decline of the henny bee population occurred right around the time Stacy got eliminated from RPDR? Coincidence? I think not.
And as for my runway look, I am serving to you none other than ancient Hawaiian in a well-worn coconut bra realness! Coconuts aren’t just for coconut milk, you know.
