Village Halloween Parade

Thrilled to take my place in New York City's 41st annual Village Halloween Parade, the largest All Hallow's Eve celebration in the world!  Every year thousands of Zombies, Ghosts, Corpses, Monsters, Skeletons, Vampires and other characters parade up Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) in Downtown Manhattan's Greenwich Village on the spookiest night of the year!  The City's artists, dancers, circus performers, puppeteers and drag queens create a creature-feature pageant that's a graveyard smash!  Met up with friends at the apartment of Ryan Wolowski of MTV networks and then marched in the parade looking for Tricks AND Treats.

"Till Death Do Us Part" Halloween Penthouse

I loved making an appearance at a wonderful Halloween-themed make-up and hair design fashion show extravaganza in a luxury Times Square Penthouse nightspot on October 28th.  The event was called "Till Death Do Us Part" and was a thriller night of Zombies, Corpses and sexy scary models, as Tawni Michelle of Team Dramatizon Make-up design transformed them into Creatures of Halloween.  Fallon Fitzpatrick Hair Design turned out some awesome over-the-top Hairstyles on the spooky macabre models!  The famous Sky Room of New York City at 330 West 40th Street was a perfect venue with the breathtaking panoramic views of Manhattan, towering above Times Square.  I had a blast with photographer Rob Ordonez, Howie V as "Cher" models Thomas Cole, Arkaduusz Rogala and many others.

The festive event was held in the park outside Jersey City Hall.  Hudson Pride Connections Center and Humanity Pride Productions co-hosted the event, and the official co-chairs were Elizabeth Schedl, Jonathan Lucas and Eddie BaezJersey City Council President Rolando Lavarro attended the Festival as well.  There were more than 60 vendors and community organizations And the park and Jersey City Hall looked amazing all adorned with rainbow color fabrics and balloons everywhere.  The Pride Festival ended a week-long celebration of Pride events including a Rainbow Flag raising at City Hall and the County Court House, a Comedy show, a brunch, a nightclub Drag show, a Women's performance and much more.

Get Out! Magazine - Sweet Story about Me!

It's such an honor to have a full page magazine story and interview in a premiere weekly journal that covers Nightlife and Entertainment in New York City!  In the #183 October 22nd issue of the renowned Get Out! magazine there is a full-page article about me.  Please pick up your copy today!  The entertaining and informative periodical is published by the famous Mike Todd with art, graphics and design by Carlos Aguayo.  The article was written by Lovari and the photo was taken by Wilson Models.  




From Get Out! magazine:

Elusive is not a word used to describe Lady Clover Honey.  You can find her at practically every NYC nightlife event in the LGBT community, seven days a week.  The beloved drag diva will be hosting this year's Jersey City Pride on Saturday, October 25, on Grove Street's City Hall and is a co-star in the recording artist Aline Queen's "SuperFreak," which is a theme song for the new season of "American Horror Story: Freakshow."  You can also catch her on the big screen in the forthcoming months at various festivals with her role in "St. Agatha," directed by Nika Savitskaya.

Lady Clover Honey's inspirations arise from the glamour to the Golden Era of Hollywood and include Mae West, Marilyn Monroe and Carol Channing.  While you'll find her singing the occasional Katy Perry song at a performance, most of her numbers are from '40s and '50s musicals and introduce a younger generation to these classic tunes.

Some of the highlights of Lady Clover Honey's endeavors include a run as a correspondent on the NYC Life television series "Under the Pink Carpet."  Past season episodes can be seen at

The series, which highlighted LGBT nightlife and events, featured interviews with Joan Rivers, Nathan Lane, Cyndi Lauper, Susan Lucci, Joan Collins, Michael Musto, Rosie O'Donnell, Leslie Jordan, Donna Summer, Bea Arthur and many more.  A few highlights include a segments on the Get Out! Awards and another on Clover the Gay Men's Chorus at Carnegie Hall.

REAL MEN WEAR PINK Calendar Release

I had a wonderful time with my appearance at a wonderful gala fundraiser and media event REAL MEN WEAR PINK Calendar Release celebration at Shadow Boxers nightclub in Times Square, New York City on October 22nd.  The 2015 calendar was made to create awareness and raise funds for those who cannot afford treatment.  The color Pink is commonly associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, the feminine and romance.  The nature of the REAL MEN WEAR PINK Calendar is to showcase these qualities while giving them a twist of sexiness.

I had a wonderful time with the models Alyosha, Jared Leblanc, Seth Fornea, Tomas, Juan and the creator of the Calendar Stephen Land Jr. and many other friends.

Rocky Horror in Historic Cemetery

"Don't Dream It, Be It!" I had a decadently delightful evening as Frank N Furter the luscious "Sweet Transvestite" in a special celebratory screening/performance of the camp classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the historic Harsimus Cemetery national treasure at 435 Newark Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey.  The extraordinarily fun evening took place on October 17th.  Had a blast with Rolanda Rose, who made a fierce Magenta and actor recording/artist Lovari and many others. "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure!" is a perfect quote from the film where the huge packed crowd had best most exciting time ever. The event was presented by the "House of Happiness" North Jersey's source for The Rocky Horror Picture Show since 1998.
