Thanks for watching! xoxo
I'm so glad RuPaul mentioned Nelson Sullivan. I've been watching the channel with all of Nelson's videos and it's all so fascinating. He seemed like such an amazing person. May he rest in peace. Glad RuPaul still has love for him.
+ditzybrunette85 I literally just wrote the same thing in my own comment! It makes me happy to know that you feel the same way regarding Nelson :)
ditzybrunette85 c
Nelson 😍🤵🏻
lol I just had this thought watching this for the first time
I saw one video and that's all it took. I got hooked to his videos
Props to RuPaul for showing love to Nelson. James was around Nelson quite a bit too, but you hardly ever hear James bring him up.
Nelson was an amazing guy and deserves the same recognition as Michael Musto.
Yes, Nelson was amazing. And thanks to him, we have all of these amazing videos of Ru and the crew and the Club Kids, etc... from back in those days. And let me say- I LOVE watching Nelson's videos. So glad he was always recording and now we have these videos to look back on 💘
Nelson wasn't even in the movie. What an insult
@@raymondsolisjr.1262 what movie?
Actually he deserves MUCH MORE recognition than Musto
@@dianadundidit5343 I agree 100%. Musto was/is a bit of a slimeball and just hung around so he could get his kicks all the while writing down upon the Club Kid scene he so desperately wanted to be a part of, but knew he could never be.
I wish more of the club kids today talked about Nelson. He loved them all and loved capturing them...... we get a look into the raw scene rather than jsut what we have heard from party monster and the downfall.
I agree! So happy Ru mentioned Nelson ❤️
RIP Nelson Sullivan!! your videos rock so hard!!

LOVE Nelson Sullivan! His videos on UA-cam of New York in the 80’s are a wonderful glimpse of fabulous people living fantastic lives. So glad he always had the camera rolling♥️
RIP Nelson Sullivan. 💞
Thanks for mentioning Nelson, Ru!! He really was such a wonderful individual. I only got to meet him a few times when I was 16 and visiting NY and saw this guy carrying around a video Camera filming and talking about everything. Being an actor and a film fanatic..... I just had to know who he was and introduced myself. He was so gracious to me. I'm so glad his videos are up and everyone can know who Nelson was. Thanks for a great interview guys!
If I could i gave you 10 likes, cool that you met him man!
Super cool 😎 story !!!! So lucky you got to meet him !
I'm so happy to hear Ru acknowledge and show appreciation for Nelson. I've been watching Nelson's videos and Ru is the star of them! He absolutely loved him and it shows. It just ties it all up in a pretty bow for me to hear Ru talk about how he mentored him and showed him the way, now, all these years later as the mother of all Drag Queens :)
And thank god for Nelson and his video camera!! I can't get enough of all the videos that are uploaded on here.
Jay Are I second that! :)
👨🏻📹💫
JSJ sounds like Sharon Needles impersonating Caytlin Jenner.
Impersonating Cher
Awwww Ru mentioned Nelson!!!!
❤❤❤
hearing James St James talk reminds me not to do too much coke :s
Amen 😂
I'm happy to hear Ru give props to Nelson. I had my own mentors who taught me about our history, culture, fashion, &c. It was a glorious time of discovery.
Nelson Sullivan is the man who single handily created vlogging! He seemed like such a wonderful and amazing person.
Nelson was awesome!.
That beautiful 3D portrait of RuPaul (with Nair and makeup brushes and eyelashes in her hair) is incredible.
Does anyone know the artist by chance?
Rupaul reminds me of Montel Williams in this video.
😂😂😂
So happy to hear you mention Nelson Sullivan. He is such a beautiful natured man and respect to Ru for acknowledging that he helped. X
i love that he said "nipp-la-da-dooos"
I'm fascinated by James St. James
LOVE that Ru gave a shoutout to Nelson
James loves to talk. Ru is so sweet, love how he acknowledges Nelson Sullivan and Dick Richards, Dick uploaded all of Nelson’s videos to UA-cam and I’m so grateful that we all got to see them and they were shared with the World, just amazing 😍
NYC must have been a truly magical city for raw talents.
lol this interview is hilarious its all me me me i i i me me me its all about james st james
neoarcadezr "interview" 😂
SOMEBODY STICK THE MICROPHONE INTO OS'S MOUTH!!
I love the scene in "Party Monster" when James talks about placement in pictures. He recommended to Michael to always make sure you are the first one on the left.
Yea he's all over the place, too bad I like it, I've never seen interviews like these
its so neat to see ru paul without his drag makeup
Are there any videos where they talk about Nelson Sullivan?
RuPaul has ALWAYS been fabulous. RIP Nelson your videos are legendary ✨
"your'e born naked and the rest is drag."
I've loved Ru since i was a widdle biddy butterball and i always will.
James darling! you sound like phyllis diller on a bender!
much love darling! love your books!
Love both of them!!Fabulousity at it's best! WERRKK!
I love James st James I would love to meet him one day :) he so cool I love his style he so freakin awesome:)
don't! he has kissed the devil!!!
I love James and Ru. Most of you don't get James personality! It's too strong for you 😘
James St James wouldn't even let RuPaul speak. This wasn't an interview - it was James St James just rattling on, endlessly.. RuPaul seemed uncomfortable in parts of this, because James keeps going on about himself..
He is a wordy fella but maintains respect at all times.
+clash4421 I noticed that, too, but that's just how James is. I don't think there's any disrespect intended. He just gets excited and starts talking a mile a minute. Having known James more than half his life, it seems Ru is totally used to him being this way and just let him be him. I've seen RuPaul in other interviews and, let me tell u, he gets his points, sentences and opinions across no matter how the interviewer tries to distract him. Its one of the things I love about Ru! :)
+belle32100 For better or worse, that's just James. It's his personality... always has been... always will be. It's just that now his waistline has caught up with that big personality... lol.
He was so wasted but IT was always about JSJ! garbage!
RuPual is a Class act! Always has been! J St J comes across as very enthusiastic... cute!!
We, the public want to see RuPaul make Alig cry and fall on his knees begging for forgiveness over "Angel"...or the fact he forever tarnished the NY Club Kid Era.
Miss Summer Hayes - could you explain what you mean?
I think Ru's not acknowledging Alig is probably more damaging to his ego than a demand for an apology would be.
@@mercurydude correct. It is not Rupaul's place to try and make someone kneel to him. It would be yet another reason for people to hate Ru.
I think that would be Gods thing,,,,Rupaul would not want to be compared to God I really,really don,t
mercurydude I,be heard rupaul mention Michael in a polite matter of fact way when Michael was part of the story ru was relling
How is it that Rupaul is an amazing looking man and a extremely beautiful woman!!!
Woah- Ru as Montel Williams! What about catching predators? I missed that point....
C A N. YOU SEE THIS???????? Please read my note here for YOU JAMES ST. JAMES!!!!!!
I love that James sounds like Cher when describing Ru's outfit @ 1st XD
Oh I,be gotcha James,,,,The fabulous Mr. Toad of Toad hall from " wind on the willows "no shade. Everyone loves mr.toad,,,,,,,,,,,,,my daughter,s name is Willow ,,,,,,,...Have you ever channeled mr. Toad?if not would you make an old woman happy and read it or reread it?guaranteed to make you smile and lol too.the love is real and you are very loved.
Divine and Rupaul made a huge difference in the gay/drag queen scene......love, love, love them both. Nelson Sullivan was waaaayyyyy ahead of his time with his video camera!! He definitely knew what was to come!!!
James St. James is simply fab.
How can Ru be so handsome and yet so gorgeous?
Ru is so cute with facial hair.
Precious!
id dat what's uUu wanna CALL IT gurl . . . MO-KKKAY!!!
james St James I love you
I’ll meet them soon. don’t know how or when but it’ll happen, work with y’all soon 🥰
How do I get that photo of Rupaul in the background?
What did he say the name of the book was again?
omg my favs. stars
Good on James St. James -- he's not sitting on his ass -- but he's a lousy interviewer. Always all over the place. Never gives the guest a solid opportunity to speak.
people on drugs usually do that..
Nelson Forever
woooooah rupaul looks sooo different here
RuPaul seems more masculine and himself when he’s speaking to StJames
1:10 THE laugh
wow, painful. i want to hear rupaul more ... i love his laugh
Thats James St. James
Wtf
He's THE James St. James
The only person I love more is Michael Alig
💗💗💗💗💗
3:08 NELSON
why does James sound so different??
Gypsy Anderson He sounds like he has dentures that aren't fitted correctly.
All Lady Gaga is doing is copying James St James from the 90s
Bflood28 art imitates itself
exactly!!!!
Rupaul is fab and works for a living.. JAmes St james is not annoying and needs to get a job
he does have a job... You OBVIOUSLY don't know who he is... and just because he did have a problem doesn't mean you need to put him down. Closed minded people like you are pathetic. You assume that this person does not work for a living and because he has a bit of a speech impediment and is hyper you ASSume he is on drugs. He probably has more money than you will ever have. So just keep watching your Dolly Parton and stick to what you know.
Cheri pop So what does he do?He and his pals had their 15 minutes of fun in the sun...looks like he forgot to grow up!
World of wonder... he works for world of wonder.....
Cheri pop Thank you.
James st. James michael alig and bowery
Que viejita ya esta la JAMES
i want to liv in a gay hous haha :D i want that cool shit i wnat to be a club kid !
I like JSJ - but could he give Ru a minute to speak. love both.
Why is he so fucking close. RuPaul don't even fuck with his fake ass like that. The shade🕶☂️
Kali Love they've been friends since the 80s.
Just for haters.....a gay person,man,does not a predator make,,,like my young child informed me hey gay isn,t contagious...follow light not dark,,,good not evil and love not hate,,,,.don,t hate what you don,t understand,get yourself out the door and meet others that are different from you ,he it,race,gay people of short people or wh never you don,t understand and fear.fear
ru looks healthier here.
James is annoying. I love Rupaul though
lol prob right. but he likes to be outlandish so maybe he is doing it ob purpose.
its clear ru doesnt like james here, he never has been a guest judge, his relationship with WOW has almost disappeared now ru is what he is
Ru was cutting his LA teeth here and doing what he needs to do
James is doing too much. Looks ridiculous.
James loves to wear ugly table cloths over his wardrobes.
