And if that wasn’t enough of a gut punch, we also lost the true star of the season, the iconic Nicole Paige Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia. I can’t help but be a teeny bit partial to NPB, as I have seen her many times here in Atlanta (and she is a pure delight), but I think a lot of my fellow drag fans were cutting onions when she bid adieu to the werk room.

Don’t worry if you are pressed for time, this whole affair will only take about four minutes of your time (really, World of Wonder? Onya chatted with the eliminated queens for longer; why aren’t these queens getting the same consideration?
