The stories of Christina Superstar are both intriguing and sad. 💙

[@RetroRoomYT]

That’s so true Maggi Rider 🙏☝️

[@thomasdupont7186]

​@@RetroRoomYT The work you have done over the years researching Christina 's story is amazing. I've never witnessed another KZbin channel doing what you achieve here. You're adding chapters to the US counter culture's history.

[@RetroRoomYT]

@@thomasdupont7186 thank you 🙏 so much! That’s such a great compliment 😊🤗 I Always hope to learn more about her story 🤞🤞

[@tula1433]

I have a feeling Christina was into women. Not men.

[@itistobewar]

thank you so much for keeping Christina's name and story alive throughout the years!

[@Tia-Louisa]

I wish Christina Superstar knew today how much she is loved, respected, appreciated and adored!!!!!!!!! Thank you for making more uploads on Christina Superstar! I am so happy to see that you are still making YT vids! I lost my old account and you had a huge break between uploads.

[@elizabethjpaxton]

I know Christina would love this! She really looks great in all the photos you chose, etc. Bravo, excellent work! Can't wait for the next one...

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you 😊 Elizabeth Paxton 🙏 I would like to think 🤔 that Christina approves ❤️

[@kengeorgejones6855]

So much in here about Christina I never knew. And to think most would never have known her at all if not for Nelson's documentation of that whole era. I'm so sorry he's gone, and that much of his work is still not available. Stories like Christina's are more important than ever, as shown with the recent tragedy in Colrado Springs. Thanks for all you do.

[@RetroRoomYT]

I’m glad you found it informative😊 You are right, Ken George Jones, Nelson did us all a solid, by capturing such a captivating moment in history 🙏

[@deeqtpie]

What does the Colorado shooting have to do with Christina? The only connection is LGBT community, sad one turned on his own.

[@emotionallyexhausted1410]

I've been subscribed for a few years now, and I know it hasn't been easy getting much additional info on Christina, so thank you! Glad you're back too!

Love your videos & commentary. I agree, I love Nelson Sullivan's videos. Such a cool glimpse into a time Would so love to vacation there too... maybe for a week or so as well. The nostalgia for a time I didn't live in is unhealthy lol

I think you just blew my mind. Not only are Christina and I the same age, but we both attended The Art Institute of Pittsburgh at the same time! I probably passed Chris in the halls. Also, I lived in the neighboring town of Bethel Park and Mt Lebanon were athletic and academic rivals. FYI it is pronounced Mt. LebaNIN and not Mt LebaNON (as one would think). It is also a pretty affluent upper class community. Many doctors and lawyers and upper management types lived in Mt Lebo (the Pittsburgh nickname) since it was just close enough to the downtown to not be a ridiculous drive on the daily commute. Also, I don't believe Mt Lebo was part suburban and part farms. It was way more citified than Bethel and we had no farms left within the community by the early 1950's. Christina lived in what I would considered a pretty privileged life, in a very well-appointed suburb. The question I have is I wonder what she was doing between graduation from high school which most likely would have been 1972 and the time she went to Art Institute? (I was working) Thanks for the interesting upload! Say hello to your sweet kitty!

[@RetroRoomYT]

I love this comment ☝️ Thanks 🙏 for the insight on this alexziggyful It’s appreciated. That’s awesome that you were classmates! You should see if you have an old yearbook from AIP , you might find Christina in there 🤩🎉

[@MrShedinthepeg]

Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos Retro, the Nelson community really appreciates you and the videos you make. You also inspired me to work on my own video, I’ve been researching it for close to a year now, and I’m in the process of putting it all together. It’s going to be about Dainty Adore O’Hara. It’s going to include a lot of information that is currently unknown to the Nelson community, for example Adores birth name and where the name Adore came from, as well as some unseen footage. I can’t wait to share it.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks ☺️ allot MrShed-in-the-peg I think it’s great that I helped inspire you to do your own video! 😊Yes! Yes! 🎉 when you are ready to share please let me know! I am very interested That’s so awesome! I can’t wait to see it ☝️

[@Ilianafaith_]

@Mr.Shedinthepeg: How is everything going with your project?

[@MrShedinthepeg]

@@Ilianafaith_ It still goes, I’ve managed to find most of Adores life story, but I’m stalled on the very last part of Adores life. Adore moved to a desert town towards the end, and very little is known about this time, including how Adore died. Adore disappeared from the lives of all his/her friends, so it’s a bit of a mystery. Me and another nelson fan have been trying to get in touch with Adores family, we have messaged them but have yet to receive a reply. But if we can’t get in touch, I plan on just finishing the video as is and hopefully people can finish the last of the story in the future, if further information is discovered.

[@Johnny_Rebel]

Great video! I look forward to seeing part two. It is interesting to know more about Christina's background. Her and Nelson were friends for several years, so there must be a week's worth of footage of her in Nelson's extensive archive. If only we could see more videos featuring Christina!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks 🙏 @jetaylor Christina was fascinating person I’m sure Nelson filmed her every chance he got 🤩

[@Johnny_Rebel]

@@RetroRoomYT 100% agree. She should also have moved out of the Chelsea Hotel and gone to live with Nelson. I wonder what happened to the gorgeous artwork she made!

[@Tia-Louisa]

Wow haven't checked your channel for years as you didn't update anything years ago. I last checked in 2020 and binge watched everything all over again but the Christina Superstar uploads reached me the most.

[@marigold7250]

You outdid yourself with this one, love the artistic flair you added to it, very fitting for a superstar like Christina, I was just watching one of your old video's on Christina a few days ago so this was a nice surprise. It's amazing that you were able to get this much info on her I know it's not so easy.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Marigold, 🙏 it feels like this has been years in the making, I’ve been back into all my old notes 📝

[@rowandarko4563]

Thanks for putting these together

[@alexziggyful]

Hey I didn't know how to get you this info, so I will just put it here as comment. There is a PODCAST called THIS IS LOVE "Episode 57: Nelson's Camera" which just dropped today 12.7.22 is about Nelson. Not much new info although Fenton is interviewed in it along with a few others. It is a sweet remembrance. I miss having new videos put up since the death of Dick Richards. Maybe we can press Coddington to start doing it again.

[@brucewebb1114]

Excellent biography. I became enchanted with Nelson and Christina's friendship and all the videos of them together on NYC. That is such a nostalgic time as I was experiencing the club scene in Louisiana in the 80's. Every time I see Nelson's videos I always wonder what I was doing at that moment. The video with Christina, Nelson and Lynn is my favorite to watch and just listen. Thank you so much for these retro room videos on Nelson and Christina.

[@Synthpoptroubadour]

Hell yeah

[@Itbmurr1]

Great video. Her life was so sad. I didn’t know that she had siblings. How did her sister pass?

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks 🙏 Raquelle Murray, that is a good question
