Marina & The Diamonds "Primadonna" starring NYC's Infamous Nightlife [video]

It would be a definite understatement to say New York City doesn’t have a few “primadonna’s” of its own. It has several, many in fact. So naturally it would only be fitting to star NYC’s most colorful nightlife characters in a made-over video of the Marina & The Diamonds song. Marco Ovando, who recently directed Cazwell’s “Rice and Beans” and regularly finds inspiration all over the city, captures what he sees in a typical evening to a song that describes the night’s spectacular life.

Starring (are you ready for this?): Amanda Lepore, Cazwell, Roxy Cottontail, Epiphany Get Paid, Cherie Lily, Markus Kellerman, Isis Vermouth, Brendon James, Gerry Visco, Leo GuGu, Karmela Lozina, Pebbles Van Peebles, Pusse Couture, Rob Sullivan , Tara Miso Rice, Tokyo, Maddelynn Hatter, Stephonic Youth, Vivien Scarlett, not to mention GaySocialites.com‘s own Demanda Dahling and Shealita BaBay, and others.
