St. Clair, who has more than 34,000 followers at Instagram account @blairst.clair, participated in "Drag Queen Storytime" last July at the Indianapolis Central Library.

A local party to celebrate St. Clair's participation on "RuPaul's Drag Race" is scheduled 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 26 at Metro Nightclub, 707 Mass Ave. Admission is free.

Although the 14 competitors of the upcoming season were official revealed Thursday, news of St. Clair's role was detailed earlier at entertainment websites. TMZ.com reported that Bryson has a suspended 365-day jail sentence as a result of pleading guilty to a March DUI in Fort Wayne.

The roster of Hoosiers on reality TV includes Rupert Boneham ("Survivor"), Josh Kaufman ("The Voice"), Addison Agen ("The Voice"), Dane Smith and April Nicole Stead ("Ink Master"), Alexander Rossi and Conor Daly ("The Amazing Race"), Amanda Overmyer ("American Idol") and Matt Mason ("CMT's Next Superstar").
