Something You Should Know About Me
“She's humble, but ambitious. She's independent, but family-oriented. She likes pizza, beer and lots of mascara,
but don't think for a second that she's not sophisticated. She's the Jersey Girl, and she's one of
the Garden State's most enduring icons- a readily identifiable personality, as much a part of
America's cultural landscape as that other great Jerseyan, Frank Sinatra.
So who is a Jersey Girl? There's a chance you're one- but residency isn't all it takes.
The Girl has a specific character, both in pop culture and in the hearts and minds of Jerseyans.
First there are the surface qualities: A love of an unpretentious good time, and a certain sense of style.
Jersey Girls are about attitude. They're about eating pizza, drinking beer, having great hair- and enjoying it all.
She's a girl who enjoys the mall, might wear more makeup than the Ivy League would approve of,
and gives some thought to her hair. She's got a mouth on her. She says what she means.
And she's got a nice, cheerful laugh. She's spunky and witty, and she handles competition very well.
She's got that confidence- everyone from New Jersey has that confidence. A Jersey Girl is crunchy on the outside,
and soft in the center. A Jersey Girl has the tenacity and drive of a New Yorker, but with the beauty of
warmth and humility that being from Jersey is all about. Don't mistake her toughness as a lack of refinement.
Don't misjudge her sometimes “brash” manners as a lack of 'classiness.' At the center of the crunchy sweet exterior,
she is tuned in and knows how and what she's working. A Jersey Girl doesn't have to have a high-powered career,
but whatever work she does, she gives it her all- and she takes care of her family at the same time.
The overall makeup, if you will, of a true Jersey Girl: hard-working, family-oriented, spirited, one of a kind.
And if you're lucky, she's your wife. Bottom line, all of them are sexy as hell.”
