Sasha Colby was the first native Hawaiian contestant to ever appear on the show. But before making it that high, the 39-year-old “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 winner’s beginnings were in Las Vegas, where she worked as a drag queen in gay bars for a time after leaving home.

Colby went on to win Miss Continental, appear on “Hawaii 5-0,” and even be invited to the White House by Vice President Kamala Harris last summer.

Though St. Pete’s big Pride parade-slash-concert takes place the next day, perhaps a yassified Friday night is what we need right now. Oh, and before you start bitching and whining about protecting the children, this is an 18-and-up event.

Tickets to see Sasha Colby play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 21 are still available for $25.
