As the winner of RuPaulsDragRace season 15, sashacolby is finally taking her place on the world stage.
, Sasha Colby has commanded attention. The legendary drag queen, who won the famous Miss Continental drag beauty pageant back in 2012, has been performing her signature blend of sensual, modern drag in spaces around the world—which meant that, as a contestant on the long-running, where some bedroom queens haven’t even seen a stage yet, her reputation preceded her.
This was an intentional choice, she says: a fuck-you to all those questioning trans women’s bodies and trying to control and demean them. Below, Sasha Colby discusses what this season meant to her, performing drag as a trans woman amid the current political climate, and what she has planned now that she’s officially America’s Drag Superstar.I definitely didn’t think I would just be a crying baby, but it really felt like a relief—and then the tears started to come. They were flowing all night.
Could you talk about your last lip sync look and what went into the final reveal of being nearly nude?It was very much intentional: the idea that these people who are trying to control how we want to live our lives are the same people controlling and grooming children, mostly queer kids, at a young age.
