Birthday Dinner: A Look into the Lives of Influential Individuals
The Arlo Williamsburg’s Water Tower Bar is buzzing with excitement as the elevator doors open to reveal the birthday girl, Honey Balenciaga. The voguing diva, also known as Honey Gonzales, is here to celebrate her special day and share her journey with us. As she enters the venue, her bold and unique fashion choices from New York’s own Luar label make a statement. With a contagious chuckle and a quick shuffle, Honey greets her guests with open arms, showcasing her silver-encrusted nails and fierce style.
At just 23 years old, Honey has already achieved so much. From being a breakout dancer on Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour to dropping her first visual album and securing her first magazine cover, she has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. And most recently, she wrapped production on a new Netflix show where she stars as herself. As she takes a seat on the velvet green sofa for dinner, she admits that this is the first time she’s truly celebrating her birthday. “I never got to celebrate my birthday before,” she says. “Last year, I was on tour with Beyoncé and the year before that, I was working and traveling. This is the first time I’m really celebrating my steps into adulthood.”
As a Leo, Honey embodies the traits of her zodiac sign – confident, ambitious, dominant, creative, and loyal. “I’m definitely a fabulous fiery Leo,” she confirms, sipping on a lemon drop martini. “But any real Leo would say that.” Her birthday horoscope, presented to her at the table, describes her as clever and versatile, with a youthful spirit that allows her to understand just about anything. And Honey’s ambitions reflect just that. “I want to do everything,” she says. “Music, modeling, dancing, singing, acting. I cannot keep myself inside of one box.” With her determination and drive, there’s no doubt that Honey will continue to make waves in the entertainment industry.
