Season 15 winner told TheWrap in a recent interview. “It was everything that I wanted. We could have given notes if we wanted to change or add anything.
I was like, ‘No notes! This is great as is! This is a bop.”All four semifinalists — Colby, Anetra, Luxx Noir London and Mistress Isabelle Brooks — were each given an original song to perform to during the live finale, which taped in April and aired two weeks later on MTV. The two best performances would advance to the final. For Colby, a former winner of Miss Continental (the premiere drag beauty pageant), the key was staying on her personal brand.“Each time I presented something, it was a different form of a goddess, from the “My Fair Lady” goddess [on the red carpet] to the burlesque goddess [in the final lipsync].
This mythological snake moment I was inspired by was Medusa [the Greek gorgon with a head of snakes]. My best friend Preston — who is the other half of Sasha Colby — and I work together and make these moments. We wanted a Sasha Colby Continental Challenge 2.0, or what it looks like in 2023.”Nailing the look was just as important as nailing the choreography; it is a drag competition, after all.
For her performance, Colby would don six long braids to represent snakes. She would start the performance with both legs sheathed to resemble Medusa’s serpentine lower half before slipping out of the tail to dance. Colby (and the other semifinalists) worked closely with choreographer Miguel Zarate to executive their visions.“Having six braids for six dancers was important, so we did great choreography with my actual head, which was definitely something that I wanted to put in,” Colby said.
