You don't have to be "someone" to get your picture
in the society pages these days. You just have to be someone who
goes to parties.
There's a host of new Web sites that post pictures
of hard- partying New Yorkers the morning after a big bash.
But don't expect to see the smooth glamour of the
stars pictured in, say, The Post's Snaps pages.
Sites like www.nycnite.com, www.allnightclubs.com,
www.rsvpnycity.com, www.castweb.com and www.betheretv.com feature
candid photos that reveal drunkenness, raccoon eyes, too much
cleavage - even a lack of underwear.
One woman recently pictured at nycnite.com, a
26-year-old sales associate from Manhattan who prefers to remain
anonymous, got caught out when she wore an Armani outfit to Eugene
that turned out to be see-through.
"I posed for a picture, and one of my friends found
it on a Web site and it was very revealing - my bra was showing,"
she says. "She passed it around to my friends and it was very
embarrassing, because I'm more conservative at work during the
week."
Others have been horrified to find their illicit
hook-ups exposed for all the world to see.
At a Halloween party thrown at Guastavino's, a
photographer snapped a few pictures of some foul play that prompted
a call from the woman in question.
"We took a picture of a girl who was with some
other guy," recalls nycnite.com Web producer Shane Neman. "Her
boyfriend was going to see the pictures, and she asked us to take
them down before we posted them."
There's even a site
(www.wschupfer.com/talents/jcm/index.html) devoted to photographer
Jessica Craig Martin's pictures of high society rear ends and
cleavage.
Despite the unflattering possibilities, people seem
to love their picture being made public.
"Monday and Tuesday, it really takes over people's
lives at work," says Brad Grossman, 24, who throws parties at Studio
54 every Saturday night.
"Everyone's looking at the Web sites. It's such a
funny trend, and it's become such an asset to people's parties."
He adds, "They hear about it, they download it,
e-mail it to their friends and say, 'Oh look at me on this
site.'"
