WNBA rising star Cameron Brink just got a little more fabulous. On the latest episode of Straight to Cam, Brink welcomes drag icon and RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 winner Sasha Colby for an honest and hilarious sit-down that covers everything from her first performance to her polyamorous dating life, with a few juicy celebrity moments sprinkled in.
Hosted by Brink and co-host Sydel Curry-Lee, Straight to Cam is quickly becoming a must-watch for fans of sports, pop culture, and unfiltered conversations. With Colby as this week’s guest, the show took a fabulously queer turn.
Sasha’s Drag Origin Story
Colby opened up about the moment she first stepped into drag, on her 18th birthday. From that pivotal night to eventually snatching the crown on Drag Race, she walks Brink through her journey, explaining what it was like to compete on a reality show with high stakes, high heels, and plenty of backstage drama.
The winner of Season 15 also spilled behind-the-scenes tea: yes, those confessionals are filmed after the fact, and no, she doesn’t regret a single moment.
Working with Pop Royalty
Colby shared her surreal experience working with Ariana Grande as part of the r.e.m. beauty campaign, calling the singer “an absolute angel.” She also recalled the thrill of introducing Chappell Roan at the VMAs, a moment that underscored her growing status as a cultural icon.
Dating in LA Is Rough, Even for a Queen
As the conversation turned toward love, Colby didn’t hold back. “Dating in LA is the hardest,” she said, citing a mix of flakiness, ego, and mismatched expectations as her biggest turn-offs. She also opened up about being polyamorous, explaining how she navigates those conversations with new partners, and what her dream date would look like (hint: it’s all about connection, not just chemistry).
The Tunnel Fit Debate and Cam’s Drag Dreams
In one of the episode’s most playful moments, Brink brought up a viral meme comparing fellow WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers’ tunnel fits. Colby didn’t miss a beat, lovingly roasting the drastically different styles.
Cam also revealed that she’s ready to get dragged up herself, alter ego and all. She even pitched the name for her future drag persona: Cherry. Naturally, Colby approved.
