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. This time it’s culled from photos in the “Let’s Go Upstairs”, “Yes It’s Me Again”, and “Tragic Kingdom” photo sets.

Brad says “Cameron and Romina are the modern day American Gothic and they’re neither a complete couple nor completely American.” Kathy says “they’re king and queen of the prom that is constantly going on in the part of my brain that also can’t stop humming ‘Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.’”

Brad says “hello, we are a parade of hot people. Would you like to see us wear stupid shit and still be hotter than you? Please stand aside, as our hotness is conducted through this stuffed Simba, and we would not want you to get burned.” Kathy says “they’re like the King and Queen of the PoMo Art Prom. He gave her a beanie baby as a corsage, and she made him a scarf out of her favorite sweatshirt. Then they’ll fingerpaint and slowdance to Portishead.” (more…)

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 “this guy has the simple white t-shirt and plaid button down thing going absolutely perfectly. Also look at his lips.” Kathy says “PLAID! Plaid flannel is my fucking downfall. It is my kryptonite. Do not let this guy near me again. Or maybe do.” (more…)

We’ve got nothing against Blue States Lose. Kathy and I have both been targeted, and there was a month when Gawker thought I wore everything wrong, but it’s funny (or at least it used to be).

Brad says “He was really cute in a college kind of way, and I love his coat. Collar and red buttons and all.” Kathy says “I think I actually said ‘ooh! Good coat!’ when he walked up the stairs. Totally college-y. He makes me want to sit on a lawn and cut class.”

This time it’s a Gentlemen’s Club; a collection of hot guys from the first three sets of party portraits shot by Brad over the last week and a half. We promise in the future it will be more inclusive of girls, and clothing-related commentary, not just “this guy is hot.” But today we’ve just got boys on the brain… (more…)
