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.

DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF. [Archives]
By Brad and Kathy. This time it’s culled from photos in the Give’m Shoulder and New Sensation photo sets.

Brad says “he was Australian, I believe, and really tall. Skeleton and skull stuff is really tired nowadays but I liked his jacket, and also his face and his body and his accent and him.” Kathy says “you can be the skeleton in MY closet, Mr. Bedhead von DoYa.”

Brad says “I love that necklace she has on. And I love that she struck an awesome pose.” Kathy says “she looks like the leader of a girl gang in The Warriors. I LOVE this girl. I would be her cronie.”

Brad says “this guy again. I kind of love this guy. And he’s sorta now my friend. Maybe we can hold hands in the moonlight.” Kathy says “you know, we keep writing about this guy. I put five dollars on him ending up in Nylon by the July issue.”

Brad says “this guy’s pants were an abomination (later) but he manages to make BRO look cute, strangely enough. Later he passed out and guys and girls did things to him.” Kathy says “totally bro cute. I could see going to the movies at the mall with him and maybe checking out the Hollister sales after…but then feeling kind of sell-outy about it in kind of a good, dirty way.”

Brad says “Jake and Danzie DJ Ruff Club almost every Friday, and they always look like this. I don’t think there has ever been a time when they did not look like the cover of an album I would love.” Kathy says “can they please learn to play alt-country? And then perform at my wedding?”

Brad says “I hate this stupid played out look on everyone but this girl, who I am convinced is the one person it was conceived for.” Kathy says “agreed. I totally want to be in a book club with her.”

Brad says “WHY AM I ALWAYS A SUCKER FOR ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE THE INTERPOL PUPPET FROM THE ‘EVIL’ VIDEO?” Kathy says “okay, honestly this is an issue for you! This guy is fine, but you need to address the puppet thing before you end up doing something lewd to Punch and/or Judy in front of a crowd of children.”

Brad says “Ichabod Crane for Dior Homme. I am swooning.” Kathy says “see, that’s an outfit and a haircut that would make most people look like a child rapist. But on him, it’s so awesome.”

Brad says “hello, we are a hot parade of our own, and we just incinerated the previous parade of hot people with our laser stares.” Kathy says “she is wearing a pillow case and he is wearing a necklace my guido cousins would’ve had in 1993, and still this works.”

Brad says “two of the people from above, making one of my dreams come true.” Kathy says absolutely nothing.

Brad says “drunk boys in casual dress-up. Perhaps I have a wonderful Friday night gig.” Kathy says “I love when boys are drunk and try to look tough but come off like they just got made fun of at a stand-up comedy show. Look at those faces. I just wanna smush them.”

Brad says “Sarah is an alcoholic. But look at how hot that dress is.” Kathy says “I bet some frat boy at some state university accidentally found himself on this blog and is like, damn, NYU. Shoulda gone there.”

Brad says “I cannot get enough of Kate and her homeless chic. Christian wants to put her in the gold D&G fringe dress and take her to Vegas with us.” Kathy says “I love the hat. There’s something about it that makes me think she looks the Captain of the Party Tugboat.”

Brad says “I don’t even particularly mind that this guy hit on my boyfriend repeatedly, because really hot people usually get away with whatever they want.” Kathy says “this guy IS a Bret Easton Ellis novel.”

Brad says “look at Niko’s eyebrows. How is this perfect? How is this picture a good photo of an attractive person?” Kathy says “I covet his ruffled flannel with biblical intensity.”

Brad says “I think this girl is gorgeous and she needs to be on TV now.” Kathy says “yeah, seriously. She makes a rectangle of knitwear look like a million bucks.”

Brad says “this is kind of against the grain of ‘diamonds in the ruff’ because, well, Bunny and Geordon and Leigh and Agyness are all pretty much diamonds among the diamonds, in the daylight or at three in the morning.” Kathy says “this is the picture I’m totally saving to my hard drive because, when I’m 75 and completely lame, I want to show this to my grandchildren and be like ‘I KNEW THESE PEOPLE, KIDDIES, SO RESPECT GRANDMA. Now bring grandma another vodka tonic before she crushes you under her cane.’”
