One gay night at Rudolf's Mars discotheque, Lahoma was hostessing a bingo game while RuPaul was getting ready for a show in Mars' downstairs. Nelson was there recording all the action on his video camcorder. In this video, RuPaul does a live costume change on stage for the first time ever.

i am so grateful that nelson's work was preserved, for all of us to enjoy. i'm just fascinated, and am devouring each and every video. i'm a massive RuPaul fan, and am loving seeing him in his younger years, when he was first starting out.

@davidhallen7766 3 года назад

I spotted my partner Jaime and me in this. The two leather boys. Black jackets w German painted on the back, dancing while Cyndi Lauper played. We LOVED Mars and they put us in Project X for a Mars advertisement. We had such fun! I loved all of those marvelous club people and had the best time in my life for 10 years living in Manhattan! Woo-hoo!!!!

I went to the Mars club in August 1989 , I think this may have been the night I met them both, I was with my friend Bill Meyer who I was staying with in town , I cant believe this clip is on here, wow it brings back some memories

The gay clubs in the mid/late 90s. we used to sneak into them, underage here in Calgary. They had this type of industrial district vibe to them too. I was a baby gay totally drinking & partying in bars like this. We were so young. It was so much more safer back then.

@ICUinthedark 4 года назад

He was my roommate in a railroad apt we had in Hells Kitchen, he was such a whore, he was always dragin' and bangin' someone all the time. I let him stay at my place in PTown one summer, he brought a boyfriend who brought a pet pig and snakes! Never a dull moment with him. One time he was house sitting some rich friend of his, who had a massive gorgeous apt. facing the Hudson, we threw a huge dinner party and RuRu came over (we call RuPaul that). Final story, one night many many years later I was at a bathhouse in Fort Lauderdale, I ran into one of Frederick's (TRADE) regular fuck boy when we lived in NY. He was so hot and still was, I drove him back to his hotel he was staying at, we kissed and he asked me to fuck I him...I thought it to weird....damn I wish I did now....

@edeneverly2573 5 лет назад

When you move somewhere at 7 and come of age in a place that you from then on called home with your family then you ARE from that city. Wtf? I moved to my hometown at 5 and spent my entire childhood through college in my home town. I damned well am from that place! When you’re seven you don’t have attachments and memories fade as you grow into who you are over the years in your new home city. He didn’t lie. Jeez.
