Lady Pearl was the first drag queen I had ever met. I went to UC during the day and loved it and found myself going back one Thursday evening. Seeing my first drag show BLEW my mind and she picked me out of the crowd and picked on me..BAD!!! I feel in love with Pearl and drag on that spot. Later on, I started working at UC doing the spot light for the shows, and eventually became her drag room 'manager.' I've always told people that Lady Pearl will pick on you, tease you, make you feel one inch tall...and you'll love EVERY second of it. She and my brother, Lady Chase, always picked on each other's shows, but they 'secretly' loved each other. Pearl attended my brother's funeral 3 years ago and, while trying not to break down, spoke of their friendship.
Lady Pearl, you have been, and always will be, my friend. I love you so much more than I ever told you. A piece of my heart is missing, but I know you and Lady Chase are planning one heck of a drag show in heaven.
