Drag career Īfter moving to Chicago, Lent began performing in drag in 2012, alongside Kim Chi and Trixie Mattel, using the stage name Pearl. He has described Pearl's persona as a " Stepford wife robot bitch". Lent initially only planned to use drag as a hobby, but quickly began booking gigs at increasing frequency. In December 2014, Pearl was announced to be a participant on the seventh season of the Logo TV reality television series RuPaul's Drag Race. Despite a slow start to the competition, Pearl rebounded to win two main challenges, and eventually became a finalist alongside fellow competitors Ginger Minj and Violet Chachki. In the season finale, Violet Chachki was crowned the winner, leaving Pearl as a runner-up. After the series, Pearl claimed that her lack of enthusiasm towards the show while appearing on it was due to an early negative comment towards her by RuPaul which was not filmed - as a result, she says she has not been invited back for an All Stars series. Pearl has been described as the drag mother of Scarlet Envy, who appeared on season 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Pearl denied this in an interview in July 2019, describing Scarlet as a good friend of hers. On June 2, 2015, Lent released the album Pleasure, along with a music video for its first single, "Love Slave". Unlike other albums released by Drag Race alumni, Pleasure does not feature any vocals from Lent he instead produced the entire album. The album charted at number eleven on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and number sixteen on the Heatseekers chart. On June 2, 2015, Lent announced the release of a fragrance, Flazéda, with perfume company Xyrena. In doing so, he became the first Drag Race alumnus member to release a scent.

Retrieved August 11, 2020.By: Bethany Wade Pearl from ‘Drag Race’: Our favorite drag queen’s moments "Erasure - Nerves of Steel (Official Video)" (YouTube video). Who’s your favorite drag queen that’s been on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and why is it Pearl from season seven? A runner up to Violet Chachki, Pearl was a dark horse in season seven, managing to go from the bottom to runner up halfway through the competition. Of course, the real reason we love Pearl is her telling it like it is about her time on Drag Race, and using that to give advice to future Drag Race queens. Even with all the controversy around her, Pearl has made a name for herself outside of Drag Race, with a perfume and electronic album she produced herself.
