Book Description

May 3, 2011
Dorothy Parker, Bebe Neuwirth, Sandra Dee, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep--there are endless examples of Jersey Girls who prove they are a breed of broad worth celebrating. New Jersey is in the media everywhere these days, with no fewer than seven major television shows focusing on Jersey culture. Cool, confident Jersey Girls have inspired far beyond the boundaries of Bayonne, and now their moxy and mighty hair have propelled them to star status.

Jersey Girls is an edgy, hip, and loving homage that profiles the likes of Hollywood's A-list in exclusive interviews as well as the famous-in-their-own-right "down-the-shore" girls. All the hot topics are covered, from style at the shoreline to Jersey Girl "Tawk." Illustrated with a brashy mix of vintage and modern photography, the book takes us from Atlantic City to the George Washington Bridge to capture the spirit of the true Jersey Girl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piscataway July 29, 2011
Format:Hardcover
B-
I wept upon encountering your Dear New Jersey dedication/thank you/love letter. It surprised me, my own reaction, to the part of myself that I have mostly forgotten. My New Jerseyness that defined me early on: soda, not pop, pajamas (long a), and so on. The terror of Route 22, the roar of the Holland Tunnel, actually walking around NY and going to The Shore - were things that defined my youth and that my suburban Chicagoness did not understand. After awhile, it all turned to North Avenue Beach, Michigan Avenue and the like for me. I am a Chicagoan now. But my inner NJ is there. And I often wonder what my story would have been had my dad not been transferred in '74. What kind of trouble Cathy Mackey and I would have stirred up...

I miss my New Jersey. I had forgotten just how much.

xoxo

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!! August 23, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Awesome book! Being a Jersey Girl myself I can relate to all the people featured in this CAWFEE table book! It was nice seeing all the places I have passed from I was a little girl to what I see today. The girls on the cover of the book are awesome, in fact they are my friends Kim Whitlock and Sara Pressey (both from Manchester,NJ) who are featured in the book inside on quite a few pages! This book is one you can read and look through again and again!

Great coffee table book loaded with photos and facts for Jersey-raised folks ladies. It's a must have. Each time I open it, I see something that amuses and pleases. Get one quickly, give it as a gift, and hear how happily the recipient responds. and get one for yourself. You won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a Jersey Girl..... June 25, 2011
By DEBI
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are a Jersey Girl this book has it all!! Great pictures of the Shore, it brought back so many memories of great times gone by. I live in Massachusetts and baby, the Cape is a sad, sad place compared to the Shore. Jersey Girls have all over the Cape Girls!! So if you are a Jersey Girl enjoy the memories, can you smell the sausage and peppers...

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Jersey Girls May 24, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got Jersey Girls yesterday and read it from beginning to end. I loved it. Great layout and pictures and wonderful stories, articles, nostalgia, perceptions and interviews. I'm not sure which my favorite is, maybe Annette Rosario. Jersey Girls made me feel good about life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jersey Girls The Fierce and The Fabulous September 12, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have given this book so far to three friends as gifts and they loved it. I myself think it's great also, my only complaint is the cover. I like to keep it out as a coffee table book and why a girl with a belly button ring and a bikini had to be on the cover doesn't make for a very good table book. Other than that the content is great.
