Okay, so did I mention I've been sucked into watching <em><a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/jersey_shore/series.jhtml" target="_blank">Jersey Shore</a></em>?

At first, it was all rather horrifying—the tanning, the nails, the lingerie-as-outerwear—but like a trainwreck, I couldn't turn away.

Now, it's doing something crazy to my brain. I'm at Season One, Episode Eight, and I'm starting to think that Ronnie is kind of cute... and that maybe JWoww's chunky highlights kind of work for her. What is happening to me?

Anyway, I was intrigued to hear about <em>Harper's Bazaar</em>'s May issue, in which they give the <em>Jersey Shore</em> females a "charm school" makeover (with a little help from Tinsley Mortimer and Lizzie Post).

You can see the slideshow <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/fashion-articles/jersey-shore-makeover-pictures-0510?link=rel&amp;dom=aol_stylelist&amp;src=syn&amp;con=art&amp;mag=har" target="_blank">here</a>. Do they look uncomfortable or what?

P.S. My favourite line from the Stylelist.com write-up:

"Snooki... rolled up to the shoot in a trucker hat, while  JWoww <strong>attacked from all fronts</strong> in a hooded pink sweat suit, Ugg-style  boots, a studded Christian  Audigier bag, purple-streaked hair and a hot-pink, bedazzled French  manicure."

God I love this show.
