  • Holly Woodlawn was enjoying the Park Avenue lush life when she was feted with this lovely birthday party. The only downside was when she discovered that her name had been misspelled on the birthday cake. Video by Nelson Sullivan.

    It's wonderful to see people together without smartphones. I really miss the 80s.

      Too right! I've noticed a trend of late, I keep seeing kids (and adults!) with actual Cameras out and about in the city, I mean, real Cameras, that use Film! It's nice.

    Nelson , what a psychic when the party across the hall asked :
    "When are we gonna be able to see ourselves now"?
    Nelson:
    "You wont..........maybe your grandchildren"!? @ 9:32

      Yesss. I watch to go back to better times when life was good and fun and to when we watched out for one another and had a wonderful time. Oh, and to catch bits of music that takes me right back to everything I loved so much. I miss the 80s. Let me go back! I will even stay the age I am now! Just let me go! Sadly, I don’t think we could recreate them if we tried. 😢

    9:33 Nelson makes a prophetic statement. If you consider the age of most of these people and when these videos made their way to the internet he is absolutely correct in stating while they would not see these videos anyplace their children/grandchildren could.
    Nelson seems to make many of these prophetic statements throughout his video recordings. The activity of creating so much footage which even he knew at the time would never be seen by his contemporaries seems a prophetic act.

      @Konga 5000 because Christina is now seen as an underdog. She was treated really badly by most in that scene. And now, it is very tragically remembered.. Michael Musto, Alig, St James all said publicly vile things about her, when they were pretty vile people at heart.

    Apparently Michael Alig believes the person on 9.56 isnt Christina, but her female friend Max. I firmly believe thats Christina given that everthing about her appearance, demeanor and voice indicates so. And especially because Andy on the phone calls her "Tina, Tina!" Before asking her to come over.
