Now that the Jersey Shore cast has moved out of their humble boardwalk abode to film in Miami this summer, another network is readying to capitalize off the success of the state.
The Style Network's new reality series (premiering Sunday at 10 p.m.) is called Jerseylicious and will star Olivia Blois Sharpe, who told the Daily News, "Real Jersey girls are a lot more fashion-forward. Those [Jersey Shore] girls were in their sweatpants all the time, their hair wasn't done, their makeup wasn't done." But isn't that part of the Snooki appeal? If the MTV cast mates were a little trashy, Sharpe says her crew is "a lot more flashy."
The show is set in Green Brook, N.J., where Sharpe is a makeup artist at the Gatsby Salon (fancy!), where her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend also was castworks. She says while the Jersey Shore guidos and guidettes were all about partying, "our main priority is our job." But... but... in the first episode Sharpe is late to her interview after partying all night! Watch some clips here, and tell us if you think these two girls pictured are really that different.
