By now we all know that the Jersey Shore kids love a nice trip to the tanning salon. Well, now I kinda do, too. Back in May, I was lucky enough to travel down to Miami and spend two days with The Situation, Snooki, J-Woww, and their pals while they shot season 2 of MTV’s huge hit.
The second morning, we (I was accompanied by Jersey Shore‘s executive producer Sally Ann Salsano) followed Snooki and J-Woww on a gym and tanning trip (basically GT minus the L). J-Woww definitely got her workout on, but Snooki seemed a little less dedicated as evidenced by her cocktail in hand while on the treadmill and bunny slippers covering her feet. But then came the tanning salon. Now full confession: I’m half Irish and have the skin tone of a leprechaun. But with a little prodding from Snooki (I believe the sentence “You’ll look so much sexier” was bandied about), I had my first spray tan. And, um, I kinda loved the results.
The above photo is the three of us a few hours later at one of the gals’ fave bars on Miami Beach, sipping their favorite drink, the Miami Vice (a mix of piña colada and strawberry daiquiri). Shortly after that photo was taken, Snooki began dry-humping one of those inflatable Corona bottles in the background. It was oddly moving.
Salsano, meanwhile, is already readying other incarnations of her hit show, including one focusing on Persians and one set in the South. “I’m not taking a bunch of people and throwing them in a house with a different ethnic background,” she says. “That’s what everyone assumes, but that’s not what it is. Some of them are family-based comedies. It also becomes the type of thing where if you don’t do it, then someone else is gonna.”

OF COURSE, Snooki is wearing a sombrero over a visor/cap.
That pic looks like something from a tranny xxx movie.
Slow news day when you decide to rehash your Guido three-way from two months ago!
Yeah, it must be tough for EW during the summers when decent entertainment grinds to almost a complete stop and the landscape becomes overwhelmed with insipid Michael Bay-type blockbusters and virtually nothing else. They are clearly really reaching for material with this article.
Yes, very odd to share this two months later and with no actual story. Question: Do the “cast members” get paid for this type of stuff? How do they actually pay the bills?

the article may have been written 2 months ago but season 2 is about to air soon…hence quoting the last sentence…
I saw that snooki uses sjolie tanning products for her spray tan? is this true?
I would like to compliment you on your well written blog.
Nice Tan though
Great tan and glad she convinced you to try it!
