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 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.Ivory Glaze competed on season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. 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, after losing a lip sync against Rita Menu to "Murder on the Dancefloor" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Rachel Shatto of Pride.com wrote, "While she only made it to episode three 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."
