The rainbow community lost a brilliant light with the passing of Jiggly Caliente, and we're taking time to honor her memory and legacy. Bianca Castro, known worldwide as Jiggly, passed away peacefully on April 27th, surrounded by loved ones, after health complications, including a leg amputation. We reflect on what made her so special, from her infectious energy on Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race to her evolution as a trans icon and judge on Drag Race Philippines.

Jiggly's journey touched countless lives through her artistry, activism, and genuine connections with fans worldwide. Her beautiful smile (complete with those perfect veneers!) could light up a room and make Bianca Del Rio smile from ear to ear. What greater testament to someone's character could there be? We share the family's moving statement about her passing and discuss how her life exemplified living authentically and courageously.

Her death at just 44 years old serves as a powerful reminder about life's unpredictability and the importance of cherishing every moment. As one host prepares to venture into drag for the first time at 37, we reflect on how Jiggly's example inspires us to pursue our authentic selves without hesitation. Between drag queens, memorable nights out, and heartfelt tributes, this episode celebrates a rainbow sister who earned her wings far too soon. May her memory inspire authenticity, courage, and community connections for generations to come.
