Club Kid, Brooke Humphries

[@SusieSynth]

I wish i could go back to the 80s and 90s and live that club kid life and party in the NYC nightlife. I miss the 80s and 90s. I was born in 78 so i was a kid in the 80s but it would be fun to travel back in time as a young adult or even my age now.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Yes I would love to time travel back to that time for a day or two at least, such an exciting time!

[@theRoseofmyheart]

I was there-it was fun to party but the city itself was really dangerous. I do miss the low rents.......

[@clucka]

@@theRoseofmyheart what dangerous things did you see in NYC? I have visited NYC 5 times, and I am originally from Los Angeles, and I think any big metropolitan area is going to have it's share of crime

[@littrandemakerjovy3770]

There are parties like that in eastern europe still in 2020 america sucks for clubbing Europe is where its at

[@elizabethbennet4791]

Gen X in da house!!!

[@scratch5191]

Everyone moved on from this scene. The ones who haven't are sadly defined by their nostalgically unimportant reputation. Make up and histrionics don't equate talent. I'm sure the dope had to help in that regard. Feeling important.

[@user-oi8sq6ci8j]

Sounds like she never stopped dealing and can now wash her money with legit businesses.

[@tbleezie]

Whoa! I live in Dallas and It'll Do is my favorite dance club here. Had no idea a club kid owns it.

[@christinecollins6302]

Brooke is more interesting then I expected, and she looks great now

[@RetroRoomYT]

I thinks so too, and she's become very successful.

[@dannydavideos8106]

She? Or he? Imm confused

[@theRoseofmyheart]

She-I met her back then. I think she is doing so well and I am glad. She was not so interesting back then-she was heavily into drugs and kind of dull to talk to. It appears she has really found herself and is creating some great places to have fun reminiscent of the old days.@@dannydavideos8106

[@MsRyland511]

Great update!!! Sounds like she's doing well!!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank You MsRyland511 :)

[@Usernameusername206]

Great video! Brooke has came along way.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks, Yes I agree, she's really turned things around for herself.

[@trinidadtraxx]

WoOoOoW @RetroRoomYT does an amazing job researching everything he posts on to the point every other Club Kid compliments or politely corrects slight mistakes in. User with no content that identifies as Brooke comes here and demands "get rid of this." 🤔 Why ask for the deletion of your success? 😮

[@stivc9289]

Very interesting!!! Thx for sharing!!!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Stiv C :)

[@cosmiccat4857]

That's really interesting. Thank you for the video!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Cosmic Cat :)

[@SusieSynth]

Wonder what became of her. Very interesting. Good to hear she's doing well. 💕

[@RetroRoomYT]

Me too, I'm glad she seems to have found a lot of success in Dallas :)

[@aarondavis647]

That would be horrible having to choose whether to go to jail or testify against a club owner. I'm glad she was able to recover from all that drama.

[@Frankie33828]

Shes such a beast and nobody knows any of these people shes affiliated with.

[@theRoseofmyheart]

This was an especially interesting edition of the Retro Room. Thank you.....I always wondered what happened to her. I hate to say it but I always assumed she would be another o.d victim. I am glad she is doing well and it does not appear she is doing heavy drugs any more.

[@kimberlymason8292]

Drug salad 😂😂Great video!!!!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank You :)

[@JB-zo7ln]

Drug salad was not Brooke Humphries. WOW got that wrong in Party Monster. The real drug salad curator was Olympia, the drag queen.

[@djronniebruno]

drug salad was actually called trail mix but they changed it for the movie for reasons unknown to me.lol Maybe trail mix is an actual brand.

[@africanmaan]

I appreciate this video and Information. I love It'll Do! It'll Do and house music has created a transformative effect on my life. Brooke seems so interesting and intelligent. I can hear the drive and hustle in her voice. Coming from DFW and having aspersions of owning a music venue, Brooke is inspiring. I would love to meet her!

[@bkwmwc]

So interesting that she could go from prisoner to successful entrepreneur in what seems a fairly short period-especially considering she moved to completely different area (Dallas). Thanks

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks, she must be very ambitious. It's a great former club kid success story :)

[@wilmafistfit4788]

That’s where she is from originally I thought

[@dannydavideos8106]

How do you think she/he did it.? Stashed the drug money and got it when she/he got out.

[@shlicksmit4579]

@@dannydavideos8106 why do you keep saying he?

[@kobikob2179]

That wasn't Brooke Michael even said so

[@Jenjensexypants]

The salad maker according to Michael was drag queen Olympia. She would even add food coloring to make it different colors.

[@auroraboreal261]

The real brooke looks like more The salad maker than brooke in The moovie

Tejano = "Teh-ha-no"

[@carlocee6699]

I saw the Party Monster movie and simply assumed that she was a fictional character...then I saw your vid! Weird thing is: I went to the Limelight a lot & never saw her once. I stopped going in 1994 due to girlfriend, maybe she showed up after that? Or did she wear a costume all the time like the yellow chicken dude? Can you please reply? -I'm curious because she doesn't seem like the type to be a club kid.

[@theRoseofmyheart]

She sold drugs. I am so glad she got it together and is making something of herself. I spoke to her once and she was dull as a doornail. I was not friends with Micheal Alig but I was around a lot of people who were. And he hired a lot of the club kids to attend parties to make them more interesting. I am glad to see she is doing well and has cleaned herself up.

[@djronniebruno]

If I remember correctly she moved to NYC in 1995.

[@bschuler6216]

I saw her at Limelight a number of times in '95-'96. Might have seen her at Tunnel too, but mostly Limelight. I saw her hanging out with Freeze & the dj, Whillyem. I didn't know she was really friends with Michael; she seemed on a lower rung of Club Kid dom. Grungier & not exactly fabulous, lol. Definitely into drugs, and by the end ('96), ecstasy had waned, while ketamine & heroin & pcp were becoming more the drugs of choice. So yeah, things were dirtier & darker.

[@djronniebruno]

@@theRoseofmyheart I dont think I would ever describe Brooke as dull back then. She was very loud, even rude at times but if she liked you eventually you would learn she had a heart of gold and very loyal.

[@mcmlxvi]

They should leave this people alone already. After all, Angel Melendez was no "angel", at least somebody paid 17 years in jail for his murder. In most cases, when a drug dealer is murdered, nobody goes to jail.

[@esanchez9633]

Michael Alig is rotting in hell

[@Dreamchaser68]

She's a first on me.What Nelson video is she in? Anything on Eddie Braddock?Always up for being surprised. More great work.Well done yet again Retro Room.

[@RetroRoomYT]

I cannot find her in any of Nelson video's, she may have moved to NY after he passed. Looking Into Eddie and a few others but I need to finish a few vids I've been working on before I can really start to dig :)

[@Dreamchaser68]

Hi Retro Room as you say you can not find her in any of Nelson's video's ( me neither ;-) So I came to wondering how you came to learn of her and how comes you did the video or was it viewer recommended?Interesting video though.Glad she's done alright for herself. Any how as for Eddie Braddock my faith is in you and your ability to come up with info.You really are quite talented at the speed in which you turn out your video's. No rush on the info about Eddie or indeed anyone else for that matter as your constant uploading is dished out exactly when it needs to be. "As they say Rome weren't built in a day". "Now go get em Retro Room, and leave no stone unturned. Keep up the EXCELLENT work ok ;-)

[@johnsimone2770]

Nelson died in 1989, when Brooke was 14 years old....

[@eyerollers]

Brooke was a raver/club kid and didn't enter the scene until the 90's way after Nelson.

[@theRoseofmyheart]

Nelson was such a nice guy-I lived down the block from him in the mid-eighties@@johnsimone2770

[@kevinflanagan3418]

Probably still dealing drugs - just like alig who got busted trying to buy meth after prison

[@jamiemoore8740]

Can you do a clog on Brandy Wine club kid?

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

Is she the one who made the drug salad?

[@djronniebruno]

yes but it was originally called trail mix, at least in Dallas back then it was trail mix.

[@trashbasket11]

She looks really good

[@edgarallenpwned3538]

She looks great, lost a lot of weight. Good for her!

[@TheColeTruth]

Dallas is the most boring place i could think of living especially after NYC. She could of at least moved to houston where theres diversity.

[@justynjonn]

So she should move to a place that has a lot of poor immigrants.....because they're very into the Club Kid scene.

[@socialanxietydora4112]

Or Austin

[@trashbasket11]

You only get diversity in an area if people like Brooke move there and start opening businesses that bring in a more diverse population....duh

[@hardworkingdiva]

Dallas actually has a lot going on. It’s just that the cool scenes have always been underground. That’s what kept them creative and cool. You had to know someone to get in for a long time. Things are less underground now. I love that it’s more obvious, but I hate that it’s more tame now in many ways. I’ve been part of Dallas scenes since the 90’s, and it’s been amazing to see how it has grown and changed. But Dallas has been very far from boring. You just didn’t stretch yourself to scratch below the surface.

[@chloedassler6156]

Ewwww...

[@Jroc412]

Damn she knows how to get money.

[@brookehumphries9296]

Get rid of this
