Pearl Facts

Pearl has stated her one of the happiest memories to be the one when she had turned 16 and moved out of her parents’ house to live independently.

When she was younger, she used to draw rich old ladies with big diamond rings and furs, which later inspired her drag persona, Pearl.

Pearl began her career in drag in 2012 after moving to Chicago.

She first began doing drag as a hobby but soon she was being booked for her performances.

She participated in the 7th season of reality television series, RuPaul’s Drag Race, which aired on the Logo TV in 2015 and she ended up as a runner-up.

Previously, she attracted a lot of attention with her claims in an interview that RuPaul mistreats the other people on the sets of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She has revealed that when she expressed her love for the famous drag queen behind the camera, RuPaul coldly told her that nothing she says matters till the camera is on. She has even claimed that after the interview came out, she got a call from a producer who told her that she would never be invited to All Stars again.

In June 2015, she announced her own perfume called Flazéda, for which she collaborated with the perfume company, Xyrena, and became the first Drag Race member to release a scent.
