'This is the highest honor so far, until my presidency,' sashacolby joked after becoming RuPaulsDragRace's reigning queen. 👑 She chats with Billboard about what the crown means to her, what she's going to do with the $200,000 prize and more.
a few days after her crowning, Sasha Colby talked about what it meant for her to win the crown, how she executed two extremely memorable lip syncs in a single episode, her Beyoncé conspiracy theory and why it’s more important than ever to have a trans woman take home theIt’s really been wonderful, I got to spend some time with some really good friends who always supported my work.
Let’s get into it — congratulations to you, our winner, our current reigning! How are you feeling after clinching the crown? I feel amazing! As a very competitive pageant girl, it’s nice to accomplish something, and it really feels good to sit back and know that this was a job well done. I did everything I could — I mean, I literally put my whole a– out there. It’s just really lovely to get this from the ultimate drag queen herself.
This is not your first experience taking home a crown — in your career, where does this particular honor rank amongst your many achievements?]. No, this is the pinnacle for me. Doing Miss Continental 11 years ago, was, I think, about three seasons in. It was pretty new. When I made a miracle happen by winning Continental, I sort of thought that you get one miracle in your lifetime.
You know, I was thinking about being funny, being cheeky — no pun intended. But really, what summed it up the entire competition me was the fact that I was getting so nervous. You get very in your head, you start feeling insane, like a drag-zilla, if you will. I had to step back and make the competition where it was not about this dream that I was so happy to have achieved.
