Plenty of websites have made fun of the kids who go out in New York, drawing images from the galleries upon galleries of weekly updated party photos to be found on the net. But, while we have nothing against the mockery of Blue States Lose, we figure there should be a place to shout out the good stuff too: the great outfits, the gorgeous people, pure eye candy.

By Brad and Kathy. We let the photo sets get backed up so now we’re exploding with a big heavy post from two weeks of Ruff Club and Sarah Lewitinn’s book release party.

Brad says “I love everything about this guy’s outfit.” Kathy says “Seriously! I dare anyone to pull off leather + vest + tie like this dude.”

Brad says “Kay was on the cover of the Look Book book. Here she is perfect for the Lolita Look Book.” Kathy says “Kay is a fucking badass and I love her. I am approximately 150 years older than her and I want to be her when I grow up.”

Kathy says “whenever I see Lee, he is 1) charming, 2) looking angelic, and 3) smashed to the point of oblivion. I don’t understand how he simultaneously looks so cute and is so drunk. At that stage of drunk, my glasses are crooked, there is puke in my hair, and I have unfortunate and revealing holes in my pants.” Brad says “yeah, he might be the only person at Ruff Club who can trip over my light cords and break a bulb and it doesn’t bother me.”

Kathy says “I love this guy. He’s not even trying and I love him. Shit, wait. Does he work at the Annex too? Do I now have a crush on everyone who works at the Annex?” Brad says “yeah, I was gonna pick him too but then I was like ‘we can’t include every hot guy just for being hot’ but then I thought, ‘why can’t we’ and so now here he is and look at him and he’s hot. And also approximately nine feet tall.”

Brad says “I love this shirt on her, and the suspenders. And many people try that hair and don’t pull it off like she does.” Kathy says “I HAD that hair and it didn’t work. Good job, lady.”

Kathy says “Okay, how? HOW in god’s name does this chick make earmuffs + tan lines the cutest combination ever? She must have cute written into her DNA.”

Brad says “he’s always very well put together. I like when somebody goes for this look and it works. Though try and do it in the summer…” Kathy says “I feel like half the kids walking around with this outfit look like waiters at a country club. Whereas this guy looks like he’d be over-tipping them for rushing his martini.”

Brad says “I’ve always said, the best fashion accessory is a nice butt.” Kathy says “Where was I when this was going on? Why do I always miss live butts? Someone get naked next week, okay? Particularly this guy, again.”

Kathy says “doesn’t this guy look like the quirky love interest from a French movie I would watch over and over while going to sleep?”

Brad says “what can you say? What can you say. No words, really. That was a good night for nudity, wasn’t it?” Kathy says “This is an awesome photo. He’s totally Right Said Fred hot.”

Brad says “I liked how this girl threw Chanel suspenders over a t-shirt that maybe came from my hometown in Ohio. It was the kind of high-end/low-end pairing that gives the NYT Styles a boner.” Kathy says “Yeah, the whole outfit is kind of tutu-galoshes-sweatpants-I dressed myself today! I love when people can pull this off without looking homeless.”

Brad says “hi, we’re models. Don’t we look wonderful? Of course we do.” Kathy says “We have hair that would make you look like a mental patient. Don’t you love us? You totally do.”

Brad says “all night everybody kept telling me to ‘get a picture of that really hot guy over there’ and it was always this guy. And I kept saying ‘I already got him’ and everyone would respond ‘get him again.’” Kathy says “Oh god, I LOVED this guy. You know how some people you look at in person, but they’re still so perfect looking it’s like you’re watching TV? That was this guy.”

Brad says “okay, Gina is flawless. Can’t you imagine her fronting a girl group in the 40s? At a USO show?” Kathy says “When people are like “Dita von Teese is so awesome!” I’m always like, yeah, well, you should see this girl who doesn’t even get paid to look like that.”

Brad says “this is Nikki Cascone from Top Chef. You know she’s going to look like this ‘til she’s 60. And Cosmo is going to run her photo in one of those ‘look great at any age’ articles and real people like us are gonna be like ‘that person doesn’t even exist’ and throw it in the garbage and eat more pizza.” Kathy says “and you know she eats like a half a pound of goat cheese every day and manages to look like that. Whereas if we humans even look at goat cheese our pants explode. She rules.”

Brad says “this is another one of those ‘he’s here simply because he’s hot’ selections. The jacket is cool, and nice necklaces, I guess, but he’s here simply because he’s hot.” Kathy says “he’s the kind of guy that I look at and love and then think ‘hmm, am I EVER going to grow up?’”

Brad says “when scientists finally create sexbots for mass market sale to the world at large I am confident that Lisa and Josh will be the prototype models.” Kathy says “they are both so cute! If they ever have babies, they may actually just be puppies.”

Brad says “Gideon Yago can balance a shot glass on his head. What other tricks do you think he can do while looking pensive? Can he just move in with us and be our hot high school English teacher fantasy 24/7?” Kathy says “Okay, honestly, I’ve had a crush on Gideon Yago for like ten years. And then some dude was like talking in my ear at Sarah’s party and I turned around and screamed, “WHAT? I CAN’T FUCKING HEAR YOU,” and whoops, guess who it was? And still, I love him.”

Brad says “fuck you, Matt Rubano. I thought I was done having long-term crushes on straight dudes.” Kathy says “Plaid strikes again! Matt would be cute even if he wore a popped collar pink polo with cargo shorts, but this whole plaid thing is actually making me remove my pants.”

Brad says “We’re probably going to include Sarah in every one of these posts because I have yet to take a portrait of her looking anything less than perfect. And that dress is made for her.” Kathy says “I wish you had a picture of her dumping the bucket of air conditioner water on her head (which happened while she was karaokeing MCR), because that was a supreme rockstar moment.”

Kathy says “I feel like Mikey Way has undergone some kind of She’s All That transformation. Except he was hot before and hot after. So basically he took off his glasses? Is that what I’m saying? I have no idea, cute boys mess me up.” Brad says “he looks barely thrown together, like maybe he just woke up ten minutes before he had to go to AK, which I think makes it even better (or worse, depending on the depth of your unrequited love). Don’t ask, don’t tell in the MCRmy.”
