❤️ Nelson! So glad for all his videos, too. I’m so happy that more and more people are discovering him, but also discovering Christina through his videos!
Amazing darling ;) This must've taken you ages! She's one of my fave obsessions, so I'm SO happy you uploaded this :) May Christina's soul rest in peace x
Once again.., i appreciate your work. Especially at keeping these peoples lives a memory. We were able to learn so much through Nelson’s tapes. Christina was a ‘character’. That’s for sure. Thanks again. Great job too.
Thank you so much for re editing these videos. I watched the original and loved everything about them. This is def more concise. I just love your work. I think the beauty is in its simplicity. It makes me feel like I’m in a time warp of sorts if that makes sense. I think there’s even more to add to Christina’s story in the future and considering all of Nelson’s work has not been edited and released to the public there could be more. I’m obsessed with NYC nightlife of the 80s and 90s. I was a kid living in Tennessee so no chance of seeing it first hand. Anywho this is long enough. I have some ideas around why Christina may not have been fully accepted at the time but this message is long enough. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 I feel like I’m in a time warp, when I watch Nelson’s videos, so I take that as a huge compliment! Thank you again for watching ❤️
This was the most interesting bio about Christina and Nelson, I have seen in sometime?. Thanks for the interesting blog Retro Room.?. It's such interesting time 1980's NYC with Nelson Sullivan and is cool interesting circle of friends.!. R.I.P. Nelson and Christina.!. Many thanks Craig - London UK
I really dig your content. It’s really great…I’m all about all of it, having lived some of it and met some of these people (and partied with them). I only wish you’d read the script as if you’re talking to me over lunch or a drink and it’s not so sharp, not so engaging and read like a book report. That being said… thank you for your time and hard work.
You’re doing great…. Just maybe relax a little? We’re all here because we want to be…. Just tell it like you’d tell your best friend. Cheers and happy new year!
Just watched your 3 years later video… the way you talk on that one…. Keep doing that. You have a great voice and obviously are familiar with your topic… just go with that. It’s so much more interesting and inviting. Ditch the book report style. You have enough style on your own. Roll with that and convey you enjoy this topic and these sweet little bio docs. As said before, you’re great just relax and enjoy. 🫶🏼🕺🏻🫶🏼
Excellent vid!! i always found Christina to be a fascinating person, although a bit lost and with mental health issues. She seemed like a really creative person with a bright light within her. I'm sorry she didn't have the ability to go further in this life.
One of the last videos shows Christina walking passed Rockets Redglare and his homie who were rumored to have robbed and unalived Nancy Spungeon at the Chelsea hotel setting up Sid Vicious
If she was hanging out even NEAR Rockets Redglare nothing was going to come from that. The dude sold heroin and did essentially any job that came his way. Fascinating character.
23:15 So many memories. I used to live by the Pyramid on Ave A, and years earlier, when still in high school, we used to take the bus in from Jersey on Wednesday nights to go to Disco 2000 at the Limelight. Best party ever!!! I'm glad I didn't actually know any of these awful people.
I know this is asking a lot but I would love it if you stayed at Hotel Chelsea this year and you gave your fans a guided tour of the building in modern times. Since watching your videos I have been wanting to visit the Hotel Chelsea so bad. ❤
@ You know the Hotel Chelsea better than anyone on UA-cam and I know you would make it great! It’s a big request but I wanted to throw that idea out there 😉
@ years ago I was obsessed with Nelson’s videos and that whole seen, I somehow forgot or moved on, I think I saw one of your videos randomly about a week ago and now I can’t stop, you have discovered a lot more then I did all those years ago, thanks again
Oh my god ‘happy birthday Christian’ so pointlessly mean, I can’t imagine how painful that must have been for her and on her birthday, Micheal clearly knew what was planned and that’s why he didn’t answer the questions regarding her missing tape, he used her to start his career and then ditched and ruined her when the tides started to turn So sad for her she wasn’t ever accepted
I’m a bit over 2 minutes in…..Did you just blurb over the words mental and schizophrenia? Is that a thing that you have to do now to be monetized? That’s fucking so stupid. It’s actually gross. I really hope this bullshit stops soon.
Seriously. It’s so beyond ridiculous… my brain is boggled. It’s hard to watch stuff sometimes because it’s so choppy. Turns out…. Words actually matter. Pshht. Who knew…. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Love Nelson and Christina. Nelson's videos (OG vlogger) should be studied by every Drag Race star and super fan, know your roots.. it can all be traced back to NYC in the 80's ..they did it first, better and had more fun (until you know what happened)
Seems like Nelson was a pretty sh!tty friend too! If he would’ve give the police the video at the time instead of filming her downfall ……how this could’ve ended?……🤔
@@anthonyp6755 I think you have gotten two different days mixed up, Nelson had footage of Christina being abused on her birthday, the police wouldn’t have cared about that back then, I don’t think Nelson had footage of the night Christina injured an audience member
PSA, Alig unalived himself, allegedly. Sharing the same Internet with those he used to traffic must have been horrifying for him. He was surprisingly fine with murdering someone. I still think Alig set a bar for child rapist murderers, and I have a theory about why. Keoki is still alive, you know, and you never know when you might just randomly bump into him. Lol.
Isnt is wild how every year or so theres a whole new bunch of ppl discovering Christina ,Nelson, and their crew?! And the Retro Room of course.
❤️ Nelson! So glad for all his videos, too.
I’m so happy that more and more people are discovering him, but also discovering Christina through his videos!
@RetroRoomYT definitely that's how I found all of them, was thru Nelsons the first influencer! Great job again
@ thanks 🙏
❤❤
Child victims becoming adults. Tchall scrubbed those videos of Alig and Keoki saying "15 or younger" is the perfect age?
Amazing darling ;) This must've taken you ages! She's one of my fave obsessions, so I'm SO happy you uploaded this :) May Christina's soul rest in peace x
Thank you 🙏 It took quite a while for sure 👍
RIP Christina ❤️

You’re welcome 😊🙏 Glad you liked it
There’s a video of Nelson where he displayed disapproval of other people mocking Christina’s death. Nelson was always a true friend
❤️Nelson and Christina
I remember this video. I love watching Nelson’s tapes. So grateful they are here for all to see. Nelson was a real one. Good fella.
i wish i could watch this, but between the glitchy images and every few words being bleeped out it's tough! :( very informative though
Thanks for the honest feedback
🙏❤️

Outstanding brother
Thank you! 🙏
I love your videos! ❤
@@Nova_Avalon thank you 🙏
Great job! 💙
Thank you! 😄
I started watching Nelson Sullivan’s videos about seven years ago. ❤❤❤
I think I started watching him around the same time. They’re just so interesting to watch!
@ at the time I was really struggling and those videos got me through that time…..

It makes me so happy to see this! Shine on, Christina! You're gone but never forgotten, darling! 💐💐💐
She really was a superstar 🙏

@@MsRyland511 I feel the same way. About her and Nelson. What could they have achieved, if they hadn’t passed so soon.
Nelson was so Handsome ! 💞🥰💞

Wow that’s really interesting 🤔 thank you for sharing that 🙏
@RetroRoomYT i had a feeling courtney love emulated Cristina here...and now this.
@@mountainmamanirvana31 that’s an interesting thought 💭 now that you mention it..
If she was hanging out even NEAR Rockets Redglare nothing was going to come from that. The dude sold heroin and did essentially any job that came his way. Fascinating character.
Great ! ❤️
Thanks! 😊

@@Simonjose7258 Must have been a great time 🥳thank you for sharing that, I would have loved to experience that
Learning about her coming from wealthy parents is making so much more sense. I always wondered how she survived.
Loved Nelson and Christina
They were fabulous ❤️
Christina reminded me of Candy Darling somewhat almost parallel to each other, but from a different time period RIP Christina and Nelson 🌹🌹🕊️❤❤
I can definitely see that. Thanks 🙏
I know this is asking a lot but I would love it if you stayed at Hotel Chelsea this year and you gave your fans a guided tour of the building in modern times. Since watching your videos I have been wanting to visit the Hotel Chelsea so bad. ❤
I can’t make any promises, 🤔but the Chelsea is on my bucket list and for sure 🤞I’d be filming videos of that 🎥 It’d be a blast!

@ You know the Hotel Chelsea better than anyone on UA-cam and I know you would make it great! It’s a big request but I wanted to throw that idea out there 😉
With all the information and contacts you’ve gathered, maybe it’s time for a book? Her popularity continues to grow.
@@FrankBelden that’s an interesting idea..
It brakes my heart when I hear that her family paid her to stay away, just like Nelson she was ahead of her time
@@THEDOGSBODIES1 me too, hard to understand how they could send her away. But she was still fierce 🫰
@ years ago I was obsessed with Nelson’s videos and that whole seen, I somehow forgot or moved on, I think I saw one of your videos randomly about a week ago and now I can’t stop, you have discovered a lot more then I did all those years ago, thanks again

Yeah, it’s a hard to watch at points. It just seems so needlessly cruel, to treat her that way.
@ I had to pause it a few times to rant to myself, I will never understand how people can be like that
I’m a bit over 2 minutes in…..Did you just blurb over the words mental and schizophrenia? Is that a thing that you have to do now to be monetized? That’s fucking so stupid. It’s actually gross. I really hope this bullshit stops soon.
I would love to go back to the time before the restrictions too
Seriously. It’s so beyond ridiculous… my brain is boggled. It’s hard to watch stuff sometimes because it’s so choppy. Turns out…. Words actually matter. Pshht. Who knew…. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Have you heard anything about some more Nelson Sullivan videos?
Why is 'diabetic' censored?
I found Nelson through his McDonald’s video. And down the rabbit hole I went. This was a good one. Btw
@@verynice126 I know that one well! It’s crazy, the price difference between then and now!
Love Nelson and Christina. Nelson's videos (OG vlogger) should be studied by every Drag Race star and super fan, know your roots.. it can all be traced back to NYC in the 80's ..they did it first, better and had more fun (until you know what happened)
Yes 💯 I agree ☝🏼
✨⭐✨💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗✨⭐✨

Is this different from the older one?
I would like a documentary about Andy Anderson!
I’d like that too 🙂
Seems like Nelson was a pretty sh!tty friend too! If he would’ve give the police the video at the time instead of filming her downfall ……how this could’ve ended?……🤔

I looove your videos. But the transitions are unbearable making me sick. There’s not a single regular one.
Thanks 🙏 for the feedback

Superstar? What did she do to make herself a superstar???
I believe she was given the name “Superstar” posthumously, for the film Party Monster.
Unwatchable
Christina deserved a John Waters x
Waters is a very interesting character, for sure 👍
