Early life

Ivory Glaze was born in Australia to a Dutch father and a Chinese mother. Her mother had been raised in Fiji. [2]

Career

Ivory Glaze's drag name originates from the name of the person who first put her in drag, Ivy, and ivory, a white material that is valuable in China. Ivory found the comparison humorous, as she is ethnically half-white and half-Chinese. She chose the surname "Glaze" because she didn't want to be known by a mononym and "pretended to know what [Glaze] meant". Her first public outing in drag was to The Imperial Erskineville in Sydney. A friend from Berowra, whom she had met on Grindr, put her in drag and accompanied her to the event. [1]

Ivory Glaze competed on season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under . [3] She placed in the bottom two of the second episode, which featured a sewing challenge. Ivory Glaze fainted before the planned lip-sync, causing the contest to be postponed. She was eliminated at the start of the third episode, [4] after losing a lip sync against Rita Menu to "Murder on the Dancefloor" (2001) by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Rachel Shatto of Pride.com wrote, "While she only made it to episode three (and on a technicality at that) she managed to pull focus the entire time. Either with her stellar looks, her emotional story, and even a minor medical emergency. She has range, honey — plus all that charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent." [5]

Personal life

Ivory Glaze has described herself as "half-white and half-Chinese". [5] She is based in Sydney, and uses she/her pronouns while in drag and he/him while out of drag. [4] [6] Prior to her appearance on Drag Race, she worked at a bank. [7]
