Christina Hendricks, the famous actress, is getting into the DJ world for the first time. The actress reported that she and her friend Mary would be displaying their skills at Part Time Lover HiFi in San Diego on November 3, which they termed “the realization of one of her dreams.” Christina Hendricks, who became famous and a fan favorite for her remarkable performance of Joan Holloway on ‘Mad Men,’ is today playing a DJ. Hendricks’ announcement that she would DJ at the renowned Part Time Lover HiFi in San Diego, made her “best friend” Mary the person who persuaded her to perform, and thus the event promised “dreamy, moody, sexy tunes,” and Mary teaching Hendricks “the ropes,” and hence the actress’ “DJ dreams” coming true.

The news went viral and quickly attracted a large number of supporters along with their positive comments, which was a common reaction among the fans of Hendricks’ career. One of the onlookers who vocally supported the announcement remarked, “The frustrated DJ getting her own set! So cool,” and this summed up the sentiments of many who were thrilled to let Hendricks take a different creative path. Some other fans reacted by just saying, “You’re SO COOL!!!!”
In the post referring to Mary, the DJ friend, the friend replied, “It’s gonna be so fun!!,” thus further hype.
The common reason for the inability to reach the California event was the same for the noisy well-wishers who used social media to show support. There was a loud demand for a recorded version or playlist. “Please go live so we can listen and support you!!!!” one of the fans was begging. This particular demand was also echoed by many more fans who were sorry for being too far away. “No, I’m not at all jealous of all the amazing people that will get to witness you living out your DJ dreams…okay, maybe I am…A LOT,” one user wrote while another added, “hopefully someone at least records a bit.”
It was the very high demand for a digital listen-along that resulted in the birth of its own thread of discussions. One person was putting up a suggestion, “Love the idea of a playlist after the set!” to which others joined in the chorus of agreement immediately. “Oh I’d love a new playlist too! Pretty please, Christina?” asked another. A different fan made a proposal, “you gotttta make a spotify playlist of your choices for those of us who live elsewhere..!”
The news of the event also gave rise to some hoping for a similar show to be staged in the hometown of Hendricks. “Wait please do this in LA too!!” one follower from California requested. Others simply expressed admiration for Hendricks’ talent. “I love how you are using all the different expressions of your artistry darling. You are magical,” a user commented, noting that this new endeavor has been viewed as another aspect of her creativity.
Despite the overwhelming amount of positive reactions, one comment drew attention because it stood out for its critical take on the promotional photo, saying, “This picture has a creepy vibe. 👎” This single negative comment was however drowned out by a general celebratory mood that the announcement created.
For a lot of people, the news was a surprise at all. “Awesome did not know that you DJ 🙌,” was the remark of one person, which can be seen as summing up the reaction of those who just got to know about this hidden passion. Another comment drew a direct link to personal aspiration, saying, “Fun! If I could be anything, I would be a DJ!”
