Snooki And Her Fake Tan (Plus Other Stories)

The first time I saw Snooki from the reality show "Jersey Shore", the Italian-Chilean-American's fake tan was the first thing I noticed. "That was pretty darn thick" I thought to myself.

She was petite, kinda cute actually. But I haven't really seen her on TV (except for her Ellen interview a few days ago) that would have had me say that this is one dignified woman.

As far as my memory can serve me right, here are a few of the bleak instances that I've seen her on the boobtube:

* Involving her and a friend fighting inside a car

* Involving her drunk and wasted and the rest of the cast somewhere captured by the camera

* Involving her and her recent debacle with the court judge, comparing her to Lindsay Lohan

* TV people talking about her fake tan

We can also blame reality TV on how she was portrayed. Why? Because the TV execs would only want to capture their reality stars on their most dramatic moments (think Kardashians). TV execs wouldn't want to have their reality stars just alone and reading their books right? They want action, they want drama, they want conroversy. All for the sake of ka-chingggg and ratings.

Meanwhile, Snooki can do so much better than how media has portrayed her to be. She's given her stern warning already (the court incident). It takes a smart person to learn from that.
