Don’t confuse Nicole Polizzi with her Jersey Shore alter ego Snooki because one is a role model and the other one is a guidette. Get it? Got it? Good.
The MTV reality star told Today‘s Matt Lauer that she draws a line between her guidette alter ego and the person she actually is. “I think you see more of the party side of me …on [Jersey Shore], but right now, you’re talking to Nicole.” She described the Nicole side of her as “It’s like the soft, calm, business-ready person.”
“Snooki’s definitely not a role model. Snooki’s just there to have fun in life,” she said. “Nicole, I would say, I can be a role model. I have a strong personality.”
“I’m very strong, independent and I’m loveable, I guess.”
Nicole, who is currently promoting her new book Confessions of a Guidette, explains:
“A Guidette is a girl with a strong personality. She doesn’t let anyone bring her down. She likes tanning. She’s very independent and she loves to be, like, flashy.”
