Love how Nelson took us through all those much loved eras. The early 80s to late 80s were so different in culture, music,fashion drugs scene, in only 5 years he encapsulated club and NYC life so iconically, makes you want to ride in a time machine....and as for RU always the one and only Supermodel!
Yes he filmed for almost a decade I believe it started in 1982 or 83 all the way up to 1989 when he died. He must have hundreds and hundreds of videos and they’re probably archive somewhere but I would love to see them
I turned 20 in 1984, what a wonderful time to be in your 20’s! Visit in New York City for the first time in April, 1989….New York City has changed considerably since then. I wish I knew about Nelson Sullivan in the 1980s; I would’ve loved to met him.
Sigh. Drag back then had a much more relaxed, creative attitude about it back then. To think of some of the truly brilliant people that spent so much time in that room is breathtaking. So many gone too soon and at least one that now lives an insane amount of opulence. If walls could talk, indeed. Bless Nelson for having captured this moment in history.

Skaterbun quality of drugs yes, drug scene not so sure lol! Seems similar nowadays still:)
I agree you really see the changes through out the 80s with big changes. It’s an amazing retrospect I love watching Nelsons videos

Lahoma is an Icon

RuPaul doesn't have a wig on.... It's his hair !!!!
It is a weave.
Probably late 87 or 88. Dated by the Taylor Dane track in the background.lol
Who is the guy in the silver dress with the chain? He cute.

Miss Jody Watley! ♥️
Wonder what year this is? Thought I saw Joe Bernard (Zette?)
0:18 It's Taylor Dayne
Rupals body is magnificent
Wonder if Rupaul still smokes pot
I would not doubt it, I know stoners from that time and they still do it but they only do it occasionally
I LIVE for the shotgun!!
What is a shotgun?
@@LisaMarie-xp4ym it is where someone takes a hit of weed and then blows the smoke into someone elses mouth as they inhale
The queen in the red outfit reminds me of Tammie Brown. LOL
It was rupaul smoking a joint at the end
