A ‘Shore’ Way Towards Enlightenment

Yes, it’s true. Snooks is an author. Formally known as Nicole Polizzi, star of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” has translated her guidette lifestyle into a book. The GTL glamorous lifestyle has actually turned into a New York Times bestseller. What are the odds?

Gia and her cousin, Bella, each find a ripped, yummy juicehead to hook up with, but with rivals, frenemies and grenades in the mix, can the two cousins stay close or will the trivialities of the GTL lifestyle tear them apart?

“A Shore Thing” tells the story of two girls looking for summer fun Jersey style: guidos, clubbing and glowing tans. The main character, Giovanna “Gia” Spumanti, is physically indistinguishable from the real-life Snooki, and her best friend Isabella “Bella,” “Bells” or “Hell’s Bells” Rizzoli sounds just like JWoww, another ”Jersey Shore” star.  

Celebs, Stay Away from Couture!

One of my biggest pet peeves is misuse of the word couture. More specifically, I hate when celebrities misuse the word. The most technical definition of couture is the hand sewing of garments specifically for the measurements and desires of the client. There are only a select number of certified couture houses in the world. To all you celebrities: you are not one of them.

Exhibit A: Pamela Anderson’s new thigh high stockings line entitled Pamela Anderson Couture Collection. There are five different styles all about $40 and conveniently available at secretsinlace.com. Couture, I think not. They are beautifully designed thigh highs, if that’s even possible. However, other more suitable adjectives that come to mind include slutty, provocative, and in no way couture. But Pamela is not the only one to misuse the title. JWoww from MTV’s “Jersey Shore” has also debuted a line called Filthy Couture. Enough said; no bitching necessary.
