Wasn't Rollerina in her 80s? :-?

**JussiK** · April 20th, 2004, 07:01 AM

No, that was Disco Sally. I danced next to her in Studio 54 and you could see she was just being desperate, just like so many other saddos on that particular floor.

this girl has never been in it out of desparation she just wants a happy time and the reason i admire her so much is that she picks herself up gets dressed up takes a taxi and does it all by herself ,shes not escorted.
shes never been a saddo she just loves lots of glitter :P

I think "Alice" might have been at the Troc Reunion party. (Or maybe her American cousin??)

Lotsa "senior citizens" gettin' down with their walkers & oxygen machines!!! :P :P :P

They (security) confiscated the "poppers"...I kid you not. :evil:

Can I ask was Disco Sally the person they based the older lady in 54 the movie on? And did she really die on the dance floor as in the movie?

**JussiK** · April 22nd, 2004, 01:43 AM

Yes she is and no, she did not die there. She was a tiny person with a rigor mortis grin. As the heavy bass beats hit her she jerked around on the Studio floor arms up in the air, as if drowning. I gaught her eyes when she removed her shades and there was a pained, lonely look there - a truly sad sight to behold, Sally. She must indeed have been 80, a reminder for us all to quit around the age of 75, 76?

from what i have been told by my elders

the 1940's and the 1970's was the best time for nightlife ever

i guess Sally was one of the few who were fortunate enough to have been able to have lived through both

Here in Melbourne, we have Miss Vic!!

Recently quoted as saying to yours truly: "Love, it's taken me 27 years, but now I get free entry and drugs everywhere I go!" :lol: Bless.

We also have someone called Raymond, aka 'The Fan Man'. He is at any party or event worth going to, must be in his 60s, looks like he belongs behind the counter of an antique shop, but parties harder than most... still!
