Jiggly Doesn't Need A Fckboi!

After touring across the country and abroad, Jiggly Caliente is finally back home. We've missed our girl dearly and desperately needed to catch up! 

Since November, Jiggly has participated in Phi Phi O'Hara's Queens United benefit and the Christmas Queens tour. She also recently returned from the Philippines, where she staged an epic homecoming show. She had not been back in almost ten years, since before RuPaul's Drag Race began airing. Her return was met with all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding a royal visit and the local queens treated her like a star. They might have even found Jiggly her one true love!

The cherry on this delicious sundae of an episode is the release date of "Fckboi," the lead single from Jiggly's debut album, "Thot Process." The single and its music video are slated to drop  Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year!

Like the good bears we are, we went into hibernation during the last week of 2017. However, we did make time to celebrate the holidays with our family & friends. We caught up on all of our stories, finally saw Kinky Boots on Broadway, and went to The Stonewall Inn to see Lady Bunny's Christmas Leftovers. We ended 2017 by ringing in the New Year with our girl, Jiggly Caliente, who joined us in playing our new favorite game, "Guess Ru?"

Annie B. Frank Is A Drag Queen On A Mission!

A member of Providence's close-knit drag community, Annie uses her drag to educate people about all things Jewish. Yes, that's right, she's Jewish. Really, Really Jewish. In fact, Annie is so Jewish that she is known as THE JEWISH DRAG QUEEN. Ok, she gave herself that title, but who's going to challenge her?

Annie possesses an arsenal of jokes & numbers deeply rooted in her Jewish identity. While her name has occasionally offended people, its meaning is all too clear given some perspective. Being truthful - and humble - are of great importance to her. While she is unapologetic in her art, Annie will more than gladly address others' concerns, even if only to remind them that it is well within her right to use her culture to make a statement.

We Kiki'd with Annie about her upbringing in Northern Virginia, culinary school, equal representation in queer spaces, her hairy arms, The Great British Bake Off, & much more!

Happy Hannukah!

Neon Calypso Is Serving Melba Moore Realness, Hennies!

We first met Neon at Bushwig 2017. Her captivating & effervescent personality drew us to her immediately. After our brief chat with her, we knew we had to have on the podcast!

Neon has lived several lives over the course of her 24 years. Constantly on the move as a child, she settled in Boston a few years ago. The frequent change of scenery helped her to become a part of the community she was in at the moment with a relative amount of ease. So, when she started exploring drag, she quickly became a familiar presence in Boston's drag scene. After nearly three years, she continues to thrive & is an outspoken advocate for the increased presence of queens of color in New England.

Our KiKi with Neon was an uplifting experience. Not only did we cover the basics - style, drag mother, etc. - we also delved into her childhood, life outside of drag, & what Neon does for Thanksgiving!
