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.'"
