Q&A, Liz Lizard, Nelsons Dog Blackout, Christina

[@catherinearmstrong4499]

Thank you soooooo much for telling us about Blackout.... he looked like such a cool dog... Great channel too. !!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Catherine :) I always thought Blackout seemed like such a good doggy, loved seeing him in Nelsons vids!

[@avalondreaming1433]

I heard the same thing about Blackout in an interview Rupaul did. Ru said he moved into Nelson ' s room at his house and said there were always good vibes there.

[@RetroRoomYT]

I know that interview too. That may be where I heard about Blackout.

[@christinecollins6302]

I thought you had a quirky interest in Christina, but my internet in her has increased. I like your insight about underdogs. Christina was more typical of the scene for being an underdog. The scene amongst club kids, really all creative types at that time, and still in NYC is known for being shady

[@marthaleyva9585]

I accidentally found Nelson Sullivan videos which of course how can i not be obsessed, then found your videos which i find to be informative of this era and the club kids. I definitely think you should try to do a documentary of Christina, i too feel she was a bit of of an underdog and what incredibly complex individual, however, fascinating. So carry on...

[@aprilbella15]

Thank you for all of your time and effort into these videos. I enjoy them and find them so interesting!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you Sissy Stella :)

[@denisebell3435]

love your channel and have been watching since you started. i jjust love the way you tell the stories very interesting in anything.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you so much Denise!

[@RichardPlusFilms]

I'm happy you back, I was wondering if you can tell us who specifically is thinking of making a documentary on Nelson Sullvillan, thank you again for all the videos and updates that you make.

[@RetroRoomYT]

I will get more details out soon :)

[@reasonsderanged]

Retro Room any news on this yet?

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

Your channel is fierce. Really enjoying the content

[@marigold7250]

I wish you would do something on Christina, I know Nelson would like that and probably would have done that himself if he had lived. I remember one video in particular where Nelson was talking about Christina's death and his friends in the background were talking about how they found her body and making sarcastic remarks about her, Nelson doesn't say a word to them, but his expression for us says it all, he had so much compassion for Christina. thats a real friend.

[@sweerbait]

I don't know if this account is still active, but if it is I'd love to see you update us on info about Liz, I'm having a really hard time finding info on her at all and I would LOVE to see some of her photography if it's floating around somewhere. 💖

[@mardipantz]

Sad day. Just heard about Dick Richards 🙏💞

[@littleone1353]

Thank you for the update....YAY! Appreciate all you do!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Little One :)

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

@Retro Room Soo I hope this finds you safe and doing well. I got a randome video in my suggestion feed and from their and a few other clicks threw a couple other videos that brought me to your channel. And the first video I watched was you taking about Nelson's death. And then about a video you took down not being enough. And then onto the last if the most recent videos you posted ( those being 2-3 years ago).. and it seems really surreal to sit and listen to you talk and give updates on the absence from the channel and talk about alot if different things and plans moving forward .. And ending with the info about Dick Richards passing .. and that from what I can see was the last upload 2 years ago. And even more catching me off guard because of the abcense of a video to share info about Michael A. passing away .. Soooo Yeah... That's that's just had some concern and as I said I dope hope this finds you safe and well in wherever and whatever you are doing !! And just wanted to share that !!! Bye!

[@basil33]

Awesome! Maybe you can ask Liz if she would like to be interviewed. It would be cool to know how she got to NY and what it was like being a mom and a photographer. Doesn't hurt to ask

[@GLITZYONE]

I do agree, I too root for the underdog and cheered for her. Loved her little giggle. So charming! Please do the Christina documentary.

[@TSSYF]

Is this channel still active? Been binge watching Nelson vids and really far down the rabbit hole.

[@LaurenOliviArt]

Unfortunately no, Dick Richards passed about 2 years ago. He was one of Nelson’s best friends

[@breereilly7112]

1st time seeing you and not just hearing your voice, you're handsome. Smart and good looking lol. Good for you!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you Bree 🥰

[@littleone1353]

Hey, you have a vid about RuPaul discussing Sullivan's last video on another show. In that he mentions sharing the house with others. He doesn't mention the dog tho. I know that there was SO much love amongst those folks...friend or family...NYC or ATL, that dog got the best, I'm sure.

[@aviratica6370]

You made my day Len!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Avi :) Appreciate that!!

[@GLITZYONE]

Love news about Christina! Fascinating person!!!!! I am really interested in hearing about her...

[@denisebell3435]

didnt blackout stay with rupaul and others that were free loathing in the apartment and the dog did not last a year. i could imagaine that poor blackout died of lonelyness. i dont see rupual being a dog lover. makes me mad

[@mardipantz]

Great upload and updates Len!!! 🌸💞

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Mardi. Glad you liked it :)

[@tomgraham3206]

I suppose most of these people would have had no idea that they would one day appear on a channel that could reach the whole world. I know I would be uncomfortable in their situation. I'm so intrigued by what happened to a number of people...Trade, Eric Conrad, Lana, the gay couple he stayed with and swam in their pool.

[@alexziggyful]

Another possible show topic-Party Monster. Fenton just did a new interview with James St James about behind the scenes. "Party Monster: Behind the Scenes w/ James St. James & Fenton Bailey"

[@alexziggyful]

Have you done a video on Tish Gervais aka Brian Belovitch? She's in quite a few of Nelson's videos.

[@raeray2235]

Please do the Christina Documentary!

[@adrianaflowers998]

I know Nelson's mom died in 2012. I wonder how she took Nelson's death, she was probably devastated

[@littleone1353]

I bet RuPaul would be one of the most enthusiastic and caring folks to have that first interview with you. Maybe asking him first would be the easiest, most productive and most fun! Just sayin'... 😊

[@AS-bc9qd]

Don't think he's cheap.

[@mercyesquivel9770]

Does anyone know what is “escurinca/ escuroda “ ??? they used to Say that and i dont get it, please answer :(

[@wendynoto9782]

what did happen to block out

[@lizosborne9623]

I know you ppsted this 3 years ago ..i relly loke you way of presenting things ..have you ever thought of update on what jas happened to the CLUB KIDS..

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Liz I’m back at it again Stay tuned

[@Transformational_change]

I am very interested in Christina as well. Would love to see you do a documentary on her💞🌈🔥

[@jpolar394]

Did Liz Lizzard Boyd pass away back in 2015 ? Wasn't she a barmaid at the 2 AM Club ? ............Just wondering.

[@AS-bc9qd]

I don't think it's her. She would have been over 40 in Nelsons Birthday video, but she looks way younger.

[@nenecuty]

Love your videos btw

[@littleone1353]

Re Blackout, I remember the same thing you mentioned. I seem to remember RuPaul mentioning that in a conversation on KZbin? Maybe not....

[@RetroRoomYT]

Maybe that's where I heard it too.. Wish I could remember.

[@MrShedinthepeg]

It may be a little somber, but for anyone whos interested, here's a picture of Nelsons final resting place www.findagrave.com/memorial/41934921/john-nelson-sullivan/photo#view-photo=173250698

[@ahzootube]

She passed away in 2015

[@meetmeinva]

Who did?

[@leax7061]

[@tanjuyiyitalp6580]

Dostum Liz Lizard gerçekten öldü mü?

[@aviratica6370]

I asked Larry Tee yesterday about Blackout and he told me that he didn't live that much longer. He thinks the Authorities said to leave his body on the corner and they thought that was too depressing so, they threw Blackout in the Hudson River because he lived to swim.

[@MrShedinthepeg]

Is that a real story? It would be another something added to the story if it were

[@nenecuty]

Is this for real?;)

[@crazymeee]

He's not getting paid to be interviewed, that's why Michael won't do it.

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON DESI SANTIAGO
