I'm not sure how many old timers are around these boards, but some of you may remember the old Club Edelweiss on 43rd and 11th Avenue.
One of the nicest denizens of that place was the barmaid, Crystal. She was a gold fish in a tank full of sharks.
Anyway, by some random google search, I came across her recent Youtube videos. I then remembered that she used to say that during the day she was a photographer and artist. It's also kind of a coincidence that when I logged into HA today, I had a PM from someone I didn't know asking about the old Edelweiss and that scene and if I was in touch with anyone from those days, which I'm not. But the miracle of the inter-tubes!
Anyone else remember her?
Anyway, Crystal was a sweetie. Not sure how here life has been since, because some of her Youtube comments and linked blogspot suggest at least a few years of struggle. She goes by the online name of Xeta Prime. Apparently now her main thing is extreme body modification and extreme dieting (??).
Her main Youtube video, a photomontage which tries to summarize her 50+ years as a transgendered person, however, is fascinating and well done.
