If there's one thing Blue States Lose inspires in its legion of fans, it's strange new enthusiasms. After all, one can only stare at so many pictures from MisShapes, The Cobrasnake, andAmbrel before something grabs one by one's upturned lapels and firmly shakes one to the core. This week, Alex Blagg's world is rocked by appliqu jewelry. Will yours be too?

"I think you are the tight white jeans to my black gown of cliche." "I am." "The positive to my negative on this can of Sparks we call life." "Mmm-hmm." "The pale white - " " - do you have any heroin?"

8. The Cobrasnake. Milk With Cookies photo #8060: Sorry pal, while we appreciate your effort, those big ironic glasses still aren't big and ironic enough. I would suggest getting out there and ripping a sun visor from the windshield of an eighteen-wheeler diesel truck slapping that shit on your face, and showing up to the party knowing you're the guy who OWNED that whole big ironic glasses thing.

2. The Cobrasnake. Liquid Muscles photo #006: Steve Aoki pretending to be a real musician is almost as precociously adorable as dressing your puppy up like linebacker and playing fetch with a football.

1. Misshapes. March 3rd, 2007 photo #105: Listen up kiddies, and listen closely, because this could not be more important. If there's one thing New York needs more of, it is bedazzled clothing. Shirts and pants and skirts and scarves with shiny fake gems on them, sparkling brilliant and beautiful throughout the night.
