Quote of the Day

The cast of “Jersey Shore” just officially signed for season two (to be filmed at a yet-to-be-chosen new location), so prepare to see more of the guidos we all grew to love. Bad news: People who may not have known about the omnipresent “Guido Style”…well, now they know. And they like it.

Hair gel and hair extensions, tanning and True Religion jeans, Ed Hardy T-shirts and eyebrow threading. It’s fashion, “Jersey Shore”-style.

MTV’s hit reality show put the spotlight on the style of a group of 20-something Italian-Americans, self-professed “guidos” and “guidettes,” as they partied and fist-pumped their way through a Seaside Heights, N.J., summer. And now their style — heavy on gravity-defying hair and deeply revealing tops — is catching on among a non-”guido” audience that’s tuned in not just for the drama, but to study the cast’s particular, and sometimes peculiar, fashion choices.

“They’re fist-pumping. They’re doing their hair like us now, dressing like us,” Pauly Delvecchio, who goes by Pauly D on the show, told NBC’s “Today” show on Monday. “We obviously did something right.”

“I’ve noticed now when I go places with the [Pauly D] haircut, people just stop and look at me. No one else has it,” said [Zach, a kid who loves the Jersey Shore style].
