Pearl to me is the very definition of counter-culture. She's so cool she doesn't even realize how cool she is. She's just doing what comes natural to her with ease and honesty, and for no other reason than because she wants to.
FIRST what he should do is to go to school and learn to speak English properly. That "like" word spoke every 3 words is very low educated, stupid person feature.
@Lisa Mo I know you meant it and what you wrote was pretty vague. Be specific, who are the underdogs you speak of and what prejudices are being personified?
Pearl is so underrated, some queens are shy...that shouldn’t take away from their immense talent. Pearl is my fave. Her aesthetic is so dope, and she’s a true artist.
Everyone complained about Pearl’s “overly chill” vibe but I find it so relaxing and refreshing Don’t get me wrong I love loud and proud queens like Vanjie but I love Pearls vibe Drag queens are such hard working art performers and I love Pearls artwork and aesthetic so much I’m so glad mainstream media is catching a glimpse of Pearl✨
@@shanecolemen5907 right. i feel like the whole "sleepy" thing probably prompted her to change it. i really thought the bedroom eyes were amazing though
I cannot absolutely relate Alex. It's very soothing. But I find Pearl very calming anyway. I think it's the result I'm watching someone who's being completely genuine.
2 years ago Pearl did a gig on my city and I got the opportunity to meet her, first of all her performance was out of this world, the most unique and original artist I’ve ever seen, truly an experience. And when I got to meet her, she was the SWEETEST most lovely drag queen, listened to everything I said with attention and I will never forget, she made that moment a beautiful experience for me
I totally get pearl is disappointed by RuPaul because since drag race started she pushed on self love and positivity but as the seasons went on you could see that it was just a persona.
Pearl is actually a very pleasant, calm and easy-going queen... I love her calm and cool energy... It was a very nice interview. Im still a Pearl fan...
I agree about the show forcing out "emotional moments" from the queens too much. I always fast forward those moments because they make me cringe so much.
you can see in her eyes the wisdom that she gained through dealing with her traumatic past, I’m so proud of her and as a 20 years old person that deals with his shit atm I really am happy to listen to her talking about her experience in life. there’s more to live for.
Sabrina Ren I liked the queens but the challenges were so badly planned that it didn’t let them really show a lot. Lots of unused potential. Like one of the last challenges was the Hello Kitty one, and Violet was the only fashion design queen in the werkroom by that point

I am never less than Amazed by Pearl. Her gift of creating the feminine illusion is beyond next level. If I hadn't heard her speak I never would have guessed who it was. Only that I was looking at an extremely beautiful and classy woman that was absolutely seamless in her appearance. Another amazing expose Joseph.
Im rewatching this with my boo and you know what sets you apart from other interviewers, you don't do that annoying... yea.. uh huh... totally.. sure... you're made for this.
Pearl is SO perceptive, intelligent & soothing, on top of her aesthetic natural beauty in & out of drag, she's very relaxing & adorable. Like, as a super sensitive, nervous person, it's so pleasant to listen to her.
Thank you Joseph. It was nice to sit with you and our beloved Pearl. Your interviews feel so professional yet hold on to that organic relaxed conversion we all crave in today's media. It is a rare treat so keep them coming.
John, you have a way of bringing out the natural qualities that Pear has in abundance. I really enjoyed getting to know her, and you, this was the best interview by far of any drag star. My only criticism is I wanted it to last longer....Mr Shepard well done.
I love how Pearl and Joseph can be so genuine. For me it's setting an example for how enjoyable life is with allowing oneself to be happy and sad as long as it's coming from a healthy place. Thank you Joseph and Pearl!
I really enjoy these interviews. The queens aren’t constantly interrupted and allowed to speak and it’s so much more relaxed ❤️ Pearl seems like such a beautiful person 🌈
Pearl single-handledly changed the entire way I look at RuPaul, now when I see him giggling and acting jovially I just think, 'yes bitch and as soon as the camera turns off, you drop that facade and your TRUE personality comes out'. He plays the Tim Gunn character in the workroom but only difference is Tim Gunn is a nice person on and OFF camera.
JS you're such a fierce interviewer. You seem so cool and relaxed, you've done the research and the queens seem to dig it. I'm glad the sound on you is fixed now. Can't wait to see who is next in line.
Every time I see Pearl, I think about going blonde. She's so gorgeous. I love her decorating style. Take a look at Pearl's work and tell me drag is not a high form of art!
My god, Pearl is *stunning*. Her look, her whole vibe. I’m so glad she’s found a calm place in life, and I hope she’s proud of how utterly skilled she is.
What a fabulous interview! Thank you Joseph! It’s crazy that I first discovered Pearl via RUclips and not drag race. I love the Roxanne questions since Pearl has done such an amazing job with Roxanne on RUclips. I hope there will be more videos even though it’s so much work to light, capture and edit them.
Pearl is literally so chill... she doesn’t even realize how amazing she is. I was so upset watching RPDR and seeing them break her down. But watching her pull thru was so amazing- I just loved her the entire season and rooted for her. I’m living for this look... she looks soooo different now lol. It’s crazy!
LOVE Pearl! Her story is so interesting, her character, her style. She follows her own path, it's so refreshing to see. Good on her for speaking her truth about Ru, RuPaul isn't some untouchable being that we can't speak negatively of. I love you Pearl, I'm so proud of you x
Pearl's energy was so so so relaxing. Even though some heavy topics are discussed, there's always a sense of calm pacing, even the silent moments. Also Joseph, you look like a really cleaned up, spiffy Josh Radnor( How I met your mother actor). New subscriber here.
Pearl is so talented! Love her artwork! It's such a personal style. Kind of like "Tim Burton's" style. Joseph, yet again, you killed it with this interview! So engaging, fun, informational, and interesting! can't wait for the next one!
I'll say it again... RuPaul would not be as big as she is today if it weren't for the drag queens on drag race. I don't think it comes as a surprise that RuPaul is fake - she's never hidden the business side of drag. I don't hate her for it at all - I just think it's odd that Pearl got some hate even from RuPaul for saying what she said. That's the business - I don't think it made RuPaul look bad. If Rupaul thought the LGBTQ+ community thought of her as some angel having a show like drag race to only make the lives of drag queens better, here's the loudest LOL I've ever given :) It's a business but yes, how great that drag queens are able to ALSO benefit from the show's success. It's not because of RuPaul - the queens make the show! I wish Pearl all the best and I would come watch/support her anytime!
Pearl has always been my absolute favorite queen from Drag Race.... I’ve been following her journey and I have a lot of respect for her as an artist and as a person. She’s so genuine.... on a side note; I can hear her talk all day.... her voice is really soothing ☺️
This is the first time that I watched 40 plus minutes video without skip. 😘btw I am a regular mom with kids, but I just came across his channel and he is so an amazing person.
I definitely appreciate how humble and down to earth Pearl is. Her energy is so peaceful and calm it is absolutely soothing to ones soul. Beautiful inside and out! Btw, I am totally crushing on the interviewer! He's gorgeous!
Make sure to follow me on Instagram!! @JosephAShepherd
Joseph Shepherd oh yes😜
please interview Manila!!! and Katya!
U look totally different in insta ...3/4 is a perfect angle for u, like the angle we see in in this video looking super cute, super handsome! :*
I will follow you to the end of the earth, time, space...
I did! I don’t know why but I feel compelled to call you daddy 😩 I’m sorry
Pearl & her house are serving a rich white lady who decided to live in southeast asia for the rest of her life
Is this Pearls house? It's fucking amazing 😮 Like my personally, designed heaven.
She is giving me the young blond version of Frankie vibes (Frankie and Grace) I am just waiting for her to stir a pot!
BOOTS she’s such a Gypsies and i love it
Honest to goodness goals, her look is giving me beautiful chic rich aunt who's travelled the world, turned into an alphonse mucha piece.
I recognize those circular pillows from Urban Outfitters. I remember them because they cost $100 fucking dollars.
Pearl honestly seems like such a genuine person. It’s not a character...it’s genuine
She really is! Such a great light.
I always liked pearl she was never mean spirited
Real pearls, not fake.
@Ryan Stewart Suuure..Ryan, or maybe it's just you who's annoying as fuck.
@Diana Adrianna No, have you?
Pearl to me is the very definition of counter-culture. She's so cool she doesn't even realize how cool she is. She's just doing what comes natural to her with ease and honesty, and for no other reason than because she wants to.
So true

Yes!
A gay man appreciating the naked female body is so empowering man
amzyb_x Female anatomy is really beautiful.
@Lisa Mo Why are you here, then?
@Lisa Mo I'm not following. Drag Queens are somehow the equivalent of gay people not sticking up for women?
@Lisa Mo I know you meant it and what you wrote was pretty vague. Be specific, who are the underdogs you speak of and what prejudices are being personified?
@Lisa Mo okay Karen
A sign of a humble person is how comfortable they are with saying "I don't know". Pearl is very comfortable. Loved her since "S'up?"
C'mon chin strap
one of my fav entrances tbh
Pearl is so underrated, some queens are shy...that shouldn’t take away from their immense talent. Pearl is my fave. Her aesthetic is so dope, and she’s a true artist.
Pearl is the best
Right? Like not everybody has the same big, booming personality. I like softer spoken people.
Pearl is giving me the vibe of a grande dame writer of at least 70 romance novels. :-)
*Grande Dame
i would read her romantic novels
Boo what
Pseudo Pulk same actually, they’d probably be the right amount of filth
rcktrlw loooooove this comment omg 😂💖💖
Everyone complained about Pearl’s “overly chill” vibe but I find it so relaxing and refreshing
Don’t get me wrong I love loud and proud queens like Vanjie but I love Pearls vibe
Drag queens are such hard working art performers and I love Pearls artwork and aesthetic so much I’m so glad mainstream media is catching a glimpse of Pearl✨
I completely agree! Pearl was instantly one of my favourites!
Thank you! It's nice to have a chill vibe option for drag, too.
Pearl looks SNATCHED. She fully looks like a biological woman. I adore this entire look and this interview.
The lighting wasnt homophobic for sure.
she looks completely like a bio woman, like i'm shook about this look, this could literally be a well known hollywood actress having an interview.
She looks like Blair St. Claire will look like in 10 years
@@RNCHFND I feel bad cuz I miss her old makeup even tho this is better
@@shanecolemen5907 right. i feel like the whole "sleepy" thing probably prompted her to change it. i really thought the bedroom eyes were amazing though
This should be called,
PEARL EARRINGS ASMR
OMG YES
I know right 😂❤️
ItsMeTaco I did not notice the noise from her earrings until I read your comment, and now I can’t stop hearing it. 😂🤦🏽♂️
this episode could be called I DUNNO....
teenie beenie I don’t get it. 🤨
It relaxes me to hear Pearl’s jewelry moving 💆🏻♂️
I cannot absolutely relate Alex. It's very soothing. But I find Pearl very calming anyway. I think it's the result I'm watching someone who's being completely genuine.
Very ASMR
alexcr555 this was so distracting to me!
#triggers She is awesome and her voice is great too
The little noises they make are called tintinnabulations. True fact ;)

Pearl is actually a very pleasant, calm and easy-going queen... I love her calm and cool energy...
It was a very nice interview. Im still a Pearl fan...
I'm struggling to keep my cactus alive and Pearl has a whole santinista boho jungle
Tropic Lush who doesn’t struggle to keep the tiniest plant alive (except Pearl)?
I was looking for your comment!
I relate I can’t even keep a spider plant alive :/
I have to ask,
What is "santinista"?
yas queen we love making up words
Who else feels like Pearl has Raja vibes... the true artist growing beyond a drag queen.
Yes,yes,yes,I thought the same thing,Pearl could be Raja’s love child especially from the side.
If Raven and Raja had a baby, it's Pearl!
even though i don't follow her career that close I knew Roxanne is one of her illustrations come to life.
i mean....they literally showed illustrations at the beginning LOL
I agree about the show forcing out "emotional moments" from the queens too much. I always fast forward those moments because they make me cringe so much.
She was such a nice person isnt hee?
I LOVE THAT PEARL IS A PLANT LADY
Season 7 is actually one of my favorites
Yeah, i dont know what he is talking about
Moritz Müller he just said that most people thought it was a bad season
@@Ajluvs7up ok, thats totally new to me :/
Fully.
Pearl . Trixie. Katya. Fame. Violet. Kennedy. Ginger. Jasmine.
I love these interviews so much. I could watch 100 of them and still want to see more
you can see in her eyes the wisdom that she gained through dealing with her traumatic past, I’m so proud of her and as a 20 years old person that deals with his shit atm I really am happy to listen to her talking about her experience in life. there’s more to live for.
It utterly shocks me that people don't like season 7. For me, it's my favorite behind season 5 & all stars 2!!!
Agreed. It's my favourite season, the one I go back to all the time.
And season 9
Season 7 is also one of my favorites too! I also love 4 and the one Sasha won.
I love season 7 aswell , definitely one of my favorites

RiOT music producer thank u so much! That means a whole lot to me. ❤️😊❤️
RiOT music producer Adam R*ppon 👀
Agreed, 100%
It definitely seems like Pearl has found peace within her life and now completely in her true element - so proud to see her growth.
You should post the audio from these interviews as podcasts on Spotify and apple podcasts tbh
These are my favorite interviews. The only one who does them right
Pearl doesn’t need all stars but I’d love to see her slay on there
Pearl is SO perceptive, intelligent & soothing, on top of her aesthetic natural beauty in & out of drag, she's very relaxing & adorable. Like, as a super sensitive, nervous person, it's so pleasant to listen to her.
36:15 “I kinda want to move away to the jungle” ... camera angle shows house plant jungle. Lol 😂
Omg Pearl saying she would want and would go on an All Stars is everything that I need to have hope again.
Imagine the shit the producers would put her through tho.
Apparently she got a call from a producer saying she would never be on an All Stars because of what she revealed about him. So shady
this is the time (s)he deserves, such a genuine and down to earth person
JS actually listens to the answers. What a breath of fresh air.
Thank you Joseph. It was nice to sit with you and our beloved Pearl. Your interviews feel so professional yet hold on to that organic relaxed conversion we all crave in today's media. It is a rare treat so keep them coming.

one of the best interviewers ever literally never a dull moment and everything seems very natural.

Thanks for this sweet comment. Means a whole lot xoxo
i really love watching him interview queens, he's ready, he knows what he's talking about and what to say, honestly one of my favourite interviewers
I really enjoy these interviews. The queens aren’t constantly interrupted and allowed to speak and it’s so much more relaxed ❤️ Pearl seems like such a beautiful person 🌈
Looking at you, loud host from Hey Kween
Pearl looks like such a biological woman, I LIIIIIIVE
Rightttttt I saw the thumbnail and i was like..... that's not pearl the drag queen, that must be some gay icon biological woman named pearl, too.
Roberts Vimba omg bissssshh I thought I was the only one who see bio fish when gazing upon pearl in GEESH (Drag) I love when she goes subtle
Roberts Vimba when she’s quiet lmao
Roberts Vimba but i love her voice btw
Cisgender * we all are biological here
This is my favorite exposed thus far 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏼
Aw! Thank you so much Marnus! :)

He plays the Tim Gunn character in the workroom but only difference is Tim Gunn is a nice person on and OFF camera.

I haven't been able to look at Tim Gunn the same since he endorsed Michael Bloomberg for the 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate. Like, wtf
@@dandeleon2764
That’s weird. Michael f-ing Bloomberg?!
Real nice transition out of the nudes question, you're such a smooth interviewer!
Great work as always! Her place looks amazing, she looks stunning, and he's a good professional and the cutest thing ever. Where's the bugger? ❤️
Thank ya mister xo

Love listening to Pearl, seem so grounded and peaceful. Love the home vibe, I can relate and yaass a Himalayan Salt lamp.
40 mins of Pearl!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽yeeessss
Let's hope this interview gets Pearl on All Stars !! 😭
Nah. Let's hope even better for Pearl.

My heart melted hearing he’s so happy, also everytime i hear jewels sound. Love the house too, everything’s so gorgeous❤️
She’s so genuine, so transparent. She’s honest beautiful and very inspiring💕 keep up the art work, I’m OBSESSED.
Loved this interview, Pearl really opened up about so many things! Great series
Every time I see Pearl, I think about going blonde. She's so gorgeous. I love her decorating style. Take a look at Pearl's work and tell me drag is not a high form of art!
P.S I forgot to say I thought your interview questions were really good.
“I don’t know” lol I love pearl so much 💓
Pearl's life goals are mine and it was such an embrace to hear her
Oh gosh. So HANDSOME, professional and great interview (:
My god, Pearl is *stunning*. Her look, her whole vibe. I’m so glad she’s found a calm place in life, and I hope she’s proud of how utterly skilled she is.
What a fabulous interview! Thank you Joseph! It’s crazy that I first discovered Pearl via RUclips and not drag race. I love the Roxanne questions since Pearl has done such an amazing job with Roxanne on RUclips. I hope there will be more videos even though it’s so much work to light, capture and edit them.
you're a stellar interviewer, i can't give you enough credit, and i love your hair
Ryan thank you so much! Means a whole lot xo
Pearl is literally so chill... she doesn’t even realize how amazing she is. I was so upset watching RPDR and seeing them break her down. But watching her pull thru was so amazing- I just loved her the entire season and rooted for her.
I’m living for this look... she looks soooo different now lol. It’s crazy!
I love all of pearls houseplants I have really been getting into them lately!
I was just thinking that it would be wonderful to see a plant tour on her channel xD
@nope nope and with Roxanne introducing them.
@nope nope lots of people do plant tours on youtube! ^^
LOVE Pearl!
Her story is so interesting, her character, her style.
She follows her own path, it's so refreshing to see.
Good on her for speaking her truth about Ru, RuPaul isn't some untouchable being that we can't speak negatively of.
I love you Pearl, I'm so proud of you x

Joseph is still making me FEEL things!
Pearl should definitely be allowed on an all stars! She is so honest and truly has created a brand.
I have so much respect for pearl and the art she has been making recently. I would really love to meet her one day. She’s so beautiful 🥺
I LOVED the interaction when pearl said "is there something on my face?" That was the perfect way to dismiss someone
you're so good man. You really keep the interview flowing

Love these interviews, I liked Pearl anyway, such a chilled out person. I think she'd be brilliant on All stars. Your home is such a nice space to ❤️
I absolutely love these interviews! You're an amazing interviewer and your questions are so informed and rich!
Omg, I so love Pearl on RPDR, and seeing her now again and being so "I don't know" felt so familiar, like really easy to relate xd
