A Day in the Life of a Pop Tart - Part 2 

Is it just me, it seems people were much more kinder and friendlier back then, so peaceful.. the world back then looks more human friendlier

I love Nelson, he documented the better part of us as humans. He died too soon, I cant help wonder where he would be now. Kind souls are hard to come by.

I love the sound of there shoes on the pavement, the sound of them shuffling up the stairs.. so soothing

“there’s some heavy talk about christ going on here” i love it

I love how one of the women Nelson was filming, said ‘oh boy’ when she saw him, before they moved away lol.

What's really nice to see is no one is staring down at a phone

And to think the Pop Tarts would go on to produce Drag Race.. love this little moment in time

I love the simple sound of Nelson’s shoes on the pavement,going up and downstairs. I find it so relaxing. I’m hooked on this channel.

Nelson caught a shot of the Twin Towers without ever knowing what was going to happen someday. WOW. That dude has such a knack for knowing what to capture. I'm so impressed by him.

California Dreamin'' was only 20yrs old at the time. Its like listening to something from 2001 now.

California Dreamin' while living in NYC in the summer of 1986!!! Wow

The chill lifestyle they're living here, really reminds me of Spain in the summer; eating, sitting together, talking, smoking, chilling, everything is a (social) event

Wouldn’t it be crazy if some of those staples were still in that wall on the roof

I remember 86 I LOVED IT I MISS the 80s

i wish people where this chill now

Friggin time travel! Absolutely insane and crazy he had the ability to film this stuff so many years ago. Like stepping onto a different planet! Makes me miss the 80s and I was born in 2006!

So much to enjoy in this. The gorgeous shots of the WTC and Empire State Building (I especially love the shot with the streamers blowing), the conversation in the apartment, with everyone lighting up to avoid some of the awkwardness (there's a reason they call it social smoking), Randy getting into the Mamas and Papas, and the adorable ending with Nelson going back just to make sure his goodbye was oncamera (another reminder of how prescient he was for today's social media). Who were the people in the apartment with Randy and Fenton? Have they been on here before? I wonder about the other British guy in particular. I also wonder if they even got to have that rooftop party since it was coming up a storm. Who was it for anyway?

I can't get enough of all these videos. They make me miss the 80s. The xmas one made me miss 80s Xmas tress with the big bulbs and lots of tensile.

This is the exact life i want to be living. Side note: twin towers!

Yay!!!! New Video!! I love that apartment!!

OMG I BEEN JUST GETTING INTO THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS. My favorite song by them just somehow plays at the end of this video. Loves ittty

R.i.p. Nelson Sullivan 😢😢😢

Crazy to think Randy now has Emmys and owns World of Wonder!

I wonder what became of the Pop-Tarts? They seem like a a cool group.

Wow, a glimpse of the world trade center at 3:00 !

Lol, It must’ve taken like 6 people to get that BIG-ASS AIR CONDITIONER, up all those damn stairs.

Best. Decade. Ever.

Gays were more gay than gays now bro ha. But this dudes great 👌🏻 R.I.P. poor dude, wish he was still recording

The area across the street from Fenton's apartment, La Plaza Cultural community garden, is awesome. If you're ever in the city, you should check it out. Really nice, relaxing place.

How can I love these vids so much And not be gay. Because it doesn't matter .Good old days. shonuff

Gays guys from the 80s and 90s had a different vibe and way of talking than gay guys do today.

Fascinating

13:45. John Wayne rap.. duh ha ha😄

I am in love with these

BAD BOY! I love him!!

They walk past the very bandshell, where Wigstock was born. ❤️

Thx for the vid

Things seemed a lot less organized and controlled back then.

Nelson was a man way before his time by about 30 years. If only he could see the way society video's everything now... He was onto something and he didn't even know how it was going to change society.

Less cursing, fewer attitudes, empty sidewalks, more greenery - what a special time in NYC

God, I was in Atlanta and it was the 70's instead of the 80's but I am so glad I was young and gay in the time I lived......it was just more fun......today seems to sterile and just plain boring......glad I am an old queen who can sit back and say "back in my day" but to me it seems so true

you know something just hit me....Nelson would have been considered bordering on chicken hawk in this group.....does anyone else catch a vibe that they aren't that glad to see him, especially the drag queens, except for his money or his parties? "Youths a blast but it don't last....live it hard and live it fast" As "George" said to Rod Stewart ...in gay life you had 5 years, lyrics in a David Bowie song.....26 got your card stamped

I want one of those bad boy tshirts!

0:40 Did he say "that philly snubbed me"?? If so, that was awesome!!

Imagine carrying 2 bags a ice in new York walking home? It's probably melted

3:04 miss them so much

The towers 🙀

Uaooo nelson is such a nice person and was treated so cold by randy's friends, especially this guy named fenton, such an asshole, was he jelous of him or what.. he had no maners to treat nelson

Hold up! A boombox that played vinyl?! I don’t remember that! Also I wonder what Sire record it was that he was holding.

I KNOW NELSON SULLIVAN IS A TIME TRAVELER WHEN HE TALKS TO STRANGERS WHY DOES HE SAY WHAT "TIME" is it my theorry??!!

who's the girl at 5:02? i'm fascinated with her aesthetic tbh

Randy Barbados was so cute.....I wish I had met him and fallen in love...just think, today I would be Mrs World of Wonder and have all that DragRace money....

Young Fenton and Randy

I fear a lot of history has been lost due to re-generation 😩🇬🇧👸🏼

I think they shot an episode of sex and the city on that roof!

Anyone may be familiar with a possible address? I’m thinking that the apartment that they went to is located east from Tompkins Square Park somewhere between 6th and 11th Street. Thank you in advance! -Devin

14:08 I wish I knew why Nelson decided to leave. 😩

The Twin towers!!!!

At #14:45 I miss the towers. 911

You know that Nelson taped this party and we haven’t been able to see because Dick Richards died and the person he left responsible for vids is too lazy to upload for 2 years now. 👎🏼

They didn't dress my different from today

Nice view, twin towers,Empire state building,Fort Apache,Even Queens,wow.

7:00-7:07 is all looks like a bombed out war zone - so derelict and desperate. i wish time travel were a thing - just for a day

I would have loved to have had a rooftop view of the twin towers from my house.

Wow those buildings had to be rat infested, so dirty, and all of that garbage outside smh 2:10

So like worst part decorator ever right?

Randy’s housemates seem extremely cold to Nelson. That ‘disgust’ is showing on pple that Nelson talked abt in his last video with him using his camera all the time.

we love these so cause it makes us feel like we are there !!! and not here in trumps shit hole..... its my understand the p tarts, randy and fenton, became ru's producers of her show and of world of wonder productions, very ! successful. why cant they produce a film on nelson? awfully talented those 3....

Those decorations were kinda ugly 😂

They must of never made it big cause I’ve never heard of The Pop Tarts.. The name didn’t help I’m sure.. Who calls their band that anyways?🤢 First apt/house Nelson been too that you can see the floor and get around fairly easily.. The other places look like nasty thrift stores! I thought people that were suppose to have such good taste and be artist yet live like hoarders!

Omg JUST WHEN I THOUGHT this video could not get any better... They play CALIFORNIA DREAMIN OMG

Thanks for posting...gawd, I miss my youth....

That roof party was lit fam i always enjoy phase seperation into these fab timelines, thank you Nelson for making such perfect coordinates

Roof has probably never been the same. Thanks for the video. It's a time machine.

This guy's a goddamn time traveler
