Bianca Castro (born November 29, 1980), commonly known as '''Jiggly Caliente''', is an American actress, recording artist, and drag queen.

Caliente is best known for appearing in the fourth season of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' in 2012, where she placed eighth overall. She would later return for the sixth season of ''All Stars'' in 2021, nearly a whole decade after her first participation.

After ''Drag Race'', Caliente began an acting career that includes credits in television series like ''Series/BroadCity'', ''Series/{{Pose}}'', and ''Series/SearchParty''. She also appeared in a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch with fellow ''Drag Race'' alum Creator/{{Peppermint}}. In addition to her acting, Caliente released her debut studio album, ''T.H.O.T. Process'', in 2018.

Caliente is notable for being one of the first ''Drag Race'' contestants to come out as transgender after their time on the show. With her participation in ''All Stars'' season 6, she is among the first trans women to compete post-transition, following Gia Gunn and alongside Kylie Sonique Love.

Her name is [[JustForFun/OneOfUs indeed derived]] from the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jigglypuff.
