“My heart broke.” The remaining queens of Drag Race season 12 are devastated over Rock M. Sakura’s elimination. Last week, the fan-favourite queen became the second contestant to sashay away from this series after failing to impress the judges with her ball-inspired couture and lip sync to Rihanna’s number one dance anthem S&M. It was one of the most controversial eliminations in Drag Race HERstory, and in our opinion, the least well-deserved since Naomi Smalls shockingly chopped All Stars 4 frontrunner Manila Luzon (we’re still not over it). In the…
