"The Jersey girl..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 got a mouth on her. She says what she means. And she's got a nice, cheerful laugh..Bottom line, all of them are sexy as hell." -The Star Ledger

For my final assignment in my writing class here at CU-Boulder, I will be examining a stereotype that I can identify with: a Jersey Girl. This includes researching the history of the myth, as well as the progression through fashion, media, and pop culture. This blog will be strictly used as a way for me to gather data for my paper and share with my classmates. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Selection from "New Jersey: The Movie"
I emailed the director of the documentary New Jersey: The Movie over the weekend, and he told me about this YouTube video that might help in my quest to discover the myth of the Jersey Girl. I might not use any of it, but it's a defense against shows like Jersey Shore, which will definitely be helpful.
Also, Hoboken and Montclair are in North Jersey, again, the area that is most portrayed to the national public.
