Snookie Thinks One-Piece Swimsuits Are Provocative
July 28, 2010 in Celebrity Quotes by Versus
‘Jersey Shore’ star Snookie wants to share some bikini thoughts with you:
“I would rather wear a sexy one-piece whether I am heavy or down to 90 pounds,” Snooki, 22, tells PEOPLE. “I wore one-piece suits when I was really skinny to hide my nakedness in a sexy way. I think they are more provocative because it makes guys want to see more of me.”
… says Snookie (who is 110 pounds and 4’9”, her words.)
Ugh just…ugh. She honestly reminds me of an oompa loompa.
Hey come on, thats mean!! >=(
Oompa Loompa’s are way cuter!! ;P
“Even Willy Wonka turns his head the other way when he passes Snooki in the hallway at his factory.”
Hahaha, quotation from Dlisted. So funny.
oompa loompa~ that’s exactly what i thought as soon as i saw these pics! eww…
I know she says she used to have an eating disorder…but I just don’t think she looks healthy AT ALL. Also I think the suit is terribly UNFLATTERING…no matter WHAT size you are…you can always find a suit that will flatter your figure…this just does nothing for her…her boobs are in need of some major support here yikes
She has an eating disorder again. Being over weight is much more unhealthy than being under weight.
What exactly screams eating disorder and unhealthy from looking at these pictures? She has a flat stomach and shapely legs. She’s just short, has broad shoulders, and alot of boobage. She doesn’t look unhealthy or fat at all body wise. Now as far as the tan I think she maybe over doing it a bit.
I’m not sure what picture you’re looking at because she most definitely does not have a flat stomach. You can clearly see the pudge there. I’m all for curvy women, but she just makes me cringe.
the usual official wisdom says that underweight is unhealthhier than overweight.
but i don’t recall if the offset was the same number of pounds/kg. notice the percentage is harder on the underweight. if the ideal is 100, and offset is 20, then the offset is 25% of the underweight (80), while that same 20 offset is only 17% of overweight (120).
a lot more here, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index
but BMI has needed redefinition since forever. BMI could be called the bu**sh*t mess index
thats true
oh god but all i can think about are the tan lines….lol..id rather go naked than having tan lines 
tho no one should be around
ahah i agree!! i really like one-pieces but the thought of half my body being white and my ultra black legs makes me shiver XD
EXACTLY! I usually avoid tanning, but I can never prevent my skin from going a tiny bit darker and, even if so, I want it to be uniformly.
Generally in clothes i do pretty much think it’s sexier to leave something to the imagination, but when it comes to swimwear, i think a one piece can be sexy or less-than-sexy, as well as a bikini. Any bigger generalizations i wouldn’t make.
well if she’s talking about one piece suits like the one in this picture then I honestly don’t see much different between that and a bikini. Sure her stomache isn’t showing from the front, but it’s exposed everywhere else!
On a separate note I cannot even believe how tan these girls are…they must spend soooo many hours baking in the sun (or under heat lamps).
well she’s naturally browner she’s adopted and Chilean!
wow!!! i think you need to travel more often….yeah usually when someone think of Latin Americans they see us as brown people or mixed but not every Latin American country is 100 dark skinned…..chileans…well, lots of south americans are fair skinned so to capitalize and say she´s ¨browner¨ cause she´s chilean its just dumb
if she weren’t so petite (i.e. short) she would get a lot more flack for her weight. i know that a tall girl can carry an extra 5 lbs easier than a short girl, but i also think short girls can get away with the “cute and curvy” trend more easily. if a 5’9 girl had her proportions everyone would just call her “huge!”
yes, but this makes sense. if a 5’9 woman had her proportions she would have to weigh about 200 pounds, whereas Snookie only weighs 110 (supposedly). At the end of the day when you weigh 110 pounds you would have to be a very very low calorie diet in order to lose weight, considering that body mass is part of what determines the number of calories you can burn and the number of calories you can consume without gaining. I am not saying she couldn’t stand to lose a couple of pounds, but I also can respect the fact the people are less critical of someone that short.
i dunno, as a shortie, 5’1, i don’t have difficulty loosing weight in any way, and having travelled asia found loads of women shorter than me, many prob around this girls height, and the vast majority were very slim.
her swimsuit is awful, and no disrespct, but from what little i have seen in mags about this show, subtelty doesn’t seem to be her strong suit.
on a personal style note i’m going to come down in favour of bikinis, as i have never found a swimsuit that didn’t squish me in all the wrong ways. and at the same time admit that i feel very naked in any swimwear, and struggle to take my tee shirt and shorts off!
i worked out the bmi’s, at her weight and height she has a bmi of around 23.6, someone who is 5’9 would have to weight around 160 to be the same. at 200 pounds they would be nearly into the obese range, 29.5.
I think what she meant is if you scaled up her exact proportions you’d get someone close to 200lb (195lb to be exact assuming snookie is 110lb).
BMI is squared as opposed to cubed, so you get a number around 160lb. But I think most people realise that shorter people tend to have stockier frames in relation to their height than their taller counterparts, hence the reason BMI is used.
Thanks, Kate. That is exactly what I meant. Of course it’s hard to predict these things because everybody distributes their weight differently…but it’s just a guess.
i agree!!!somehow when a girl is tall and on the heavier side everyone calls her ‘huge’ ‘manly’ and ‘trannyesque’, but a shorter girl somehow manages to pass as cute..
But does anyone really think Snookie is cute?
…I’m sure her fans do!
She has fans!!!!!
I am shocked!
hmm in don’t XD but i also think some fans do lol
yeah, think about the negative comments Khloe Kardashian gets. She’s a little heavier than her sisters but much taller and still everyone calls her all sorts of horrible names that Kim and Kourtney (sp?) dont get.
However, don’t even get me started on Snookie. She’s so trashy if there was a Rock of Love 4 I’d nominate her.
I agree with Mizzy. She’s still overall much smaller in size (height and width) than a taller girl of the exact same proportions.
yeah, at under 5′, she’s plump and cute (except maybe under her chin, but that’s minor). the same proportions at 5’11″ would be “not cute”.
scale her up, and she could crush small terrorists under her b00bage. So, there’s someone for everyone. (like R Crumb, for example.) search: chubbychasers
Yes! Awesome Crumb reference!
geez they are going to regret all that tanning to their skin when they are older and leathery
I never want to see “Snookie” and “provocative” ever again in the same sentence. This girl is just so…trashy. I mean 110 is nothing on a girl that’s 5’5 or something, but…on her, it just makes her seem rotund. Kinda like a beach ball. A tacky, leopard print, beach ball….
I never want to see “Snookie” and “thinks” ever again in the same sentence…
she looks gross
Ohhhhhhhhh this hurts my eyes to look at. You should have a great body to wear a suit like Snookie. She really needs to lose 20 pounds!!
I don’t think she’s ever had an eating disorder…maybe eating too much. She needs to lose weight.
There is an eating disorder in which you eat to much. Its called a binge eater. Speaking of ED’s, which one did she supposedly used to have?? (Asking everyone not just you Lol)
She used to starve herself, according to her.
And what the heck? “I dont think she used to have an eating disorder”? Alright, Dr LOL.
She can wear whatever she wants but she needs to lose some weight (for her health).
Admittedly I’m not a guy.. but girl, I do not want to to see any more of that..
P.S. I don’t think the cookie diet’s working
haha i know right!…i JUST noticed your comment now…
what really bugs me is… why the hell did she bother endorsing the ‘cookie diet’? clearly she’s not doing it, or it’s not working for her…they shouldn’t pay her for that…(and no, i don’t think she’s ‘FAT’ but she is overweight for her height and build) she’s still cute in her own way. lol
omg soooo excited for Jersey Shore season 2 tomorrow *fist pump*!! lol
eating too much regularly, or “bingeing,” is an eating disorder LOL. i doubt she would lie about having an eating disorder
Ugly!
She always talks about how “skinny” she used to be. PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
http://www.mtv.com/photos/when-i-was-17-ep-10-celebrity-photo-flashback/1643114/5007412/photo.jhtml
wow , she was skinny and was wearing a bikini!
She looks normal, not exactly skinny. She makes it sound like she used to be emaciated or something.
I can’t view it because I’m not in the US.
here’s one i found when i googled her
http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/31507-snooki-posts-sexy-pics-of-herself-in-bikini-ignores-nude-photo-rumors/1266343122_snooki-2920.jpg
it’s not the same pic that’s on MTV, but almost the same
She looks great there. She wasn’t too skinny at that time and thus if she worked out, ate right, she certainly could still have that figure today.
she doesn’t look cute for me. she looks a little bit overweight. and that is not cute at all.
It doesn’t make much difference when you’re wearing one that’s too small for your size.
That girl has a lucky fat distribution, but, in my eyes, it only works to some point. =/
And, um, I’d rather think she’s wearing a huge bladder control pad there, than… Nevermind.
Holy implants her friend’s got going on, yikes!
I don’t think her crotch looks abnormal. It’s just her pubic mound. It’s natural to have a degree of extra fat there. And hair can make that area look larger — not every woman feels the need to shave herself into prepubescence.
There’s a reason, after all, that it’s called a pubic *mound.* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mons_pubis
That was the “nevermind” part! xD
It’s not that it’s freaking abnormal, but it’s a chubby crotch! =P
Since I’m not a lover of female crotches, xD I appreciate it when they don’t drag my attention so much!
sorry..i never say this, but..she’s hideous. ehh
she just looks like a healthy enough, fleshy woman to me.
I have no idea why anyone would perceive this as unhealthy, other than it being the habit of our times to be terrified of female body fat.
There are periods in history where figures like this were coveted, of course, so we must at least accept that the ‘unhealthy’ comments are possibly just a bit extreme? She isnt exactly panting for breath, struggling to walk, is she?
I am also puzzled by the prevalence of people online who express concern for celebrities/models health if they are overtly fleshy or very skinny. Does anyone really care?
I am not aiming this at anyone in particular either, it is something that makes me think out loud, that’s all!
As for snookie herself. I am eternally depressed by this trend for utterly talentless people becoming fascinating/famous. I have no interest what she weighs, says or does. But here i am, regardless, talkin outa my a&&
there were eras like that, yes, but don’t forget the popularity of the corset.
Exactly! No one really gives a shit about anyone’s health, they just want them to be good-looking.
I don’t mind Snooki, she’s got a decent attitude and gives something back to The Soup.
i think she’s cute! Imagine how little she’d have to eat to lose weight, give her a break. Also, one pieces can make you stand out from the crowd, and if you have better legs than stomach, it works in your favour. Not for me unfortunately, thin waist and big hips aand thighs
How tall is she? I thought she was 5’9 but if she’s there at 110lbs she’s in the normal weight range according to her BMI.
she’s 4’9″
she’s 4’9
and she has no muscle tone, so she could be 110 and still be overweight, it’s all about fat %.
im 5’2-5’3 and when i weigh 115 im chubby, not because of lack of muscles but i have a very narrow bone structure and frame. i think snooki has that too, just look at her wrists..
so narrow frame+no muscles= easy to “fool” the bmi-system
her bmi is 23.9, i just looked it up!! but i think i’m like you, mine is currently about 20, i’m 5’1 and around 105-107 pounds, but i think my frame is really tiny and i actually still carry quite a lot of fat, there is lots of squishy parts on me. Some recent phots show friends i thought/think are heavier than me, have bones showing where i just have chub!
yeah, i weigh around 110 now and there are still som chub chub on my stomach, not a lot, but it’s still there.. 105 pounds would be great!
it sucks.. haha
Yeah, she’s definitely lacking tone. I’m 5’0″ and weigh about 105-108 lbs. I’ve got a similar frame, but I’m pretty muscular, especially my legs. I look *much* thinner than this. A little more muscle goes a long way on the scale.
Hello! I’ve read this site, that I like lot, and I’ve also read some of your comments. (I’m portuguese, Europe).
I accumulate fat just only in my belly. I’m 1,60cm, and I think i remember you are also petite, right? So, as you said that were your ‘problem’, I would like to know, if you don’t mind, what do ask you what do you do as a workout and diet, please! Cause it’s really hard for me to lose my belly. I workout a lot and my legs have defenition, but the fat that’s in my belly, it really bugs me. Now I weight 53.5kg (110 pounds) but I have weighted 50kg (100) with a strict diet, but the belly fat was there. I mean, I don’t want to be skinny, i hate that, but I can’t lose my belly fat :/ it drives me nuts, I cannot eat much sugar and carbs…
Well, excuse me for this comment, but I think maybe you could help me
Oh ok. And I meant I thought she was 4’9 on 5’9! oops!
Well, I don’t want to see more of her
I’m sorry but are we supposed to believe she’s 110 pounds? I know she’s very short but she doesn’t look 110 to me
short, no muscles, petite frame = easy to look fat and still weigh “little”
Exactly if it was 110 pounds of muscle she’d look soooo much better. I’m 5′ 5″ and 113 and I have a small frame too-looking at her even with the height disparity with her frame I can hardly believe she was underweight at 80 pounds during her previously mentioned disorder. It looks like ideal for her frame would be like 90/95 pounds. I mean just if she had some muscle tone itd be an improvement. In general I don’t like snooki, but I’d feel bad calling her names or ‘fat’. But she’s not healthy for her frame :/
She doesn’t even need to lose actual scale weight, if she replaced 5-10lb of fat with the same amount of lean muscle her body would be transformed.
yes, you’re correct
mm, i agree with the name calling. it’s SO EASY to gain weight when you’re small, i don’t think people get that..
she’s not fat, but she isn’t healthy either. she’s chubby actually.
and not a tiny bit chub chub, just straight out chubby
Well yeah, she’s chubby. Looks at least 30% body fat.
I’m 4’9 and a little over 120 lbs! However, I look a lot skinnier than Snooki. But, I have an athletic build with lots of curves.
Yeah, I am only 5 feet but weigh about 135. I teach aerobics and workout cardio 6 hours a week. My students never believe me when I tell them my scale weight, but I always try to stress to them that muscle weighs more than fat!
who is snookie???
Irina, you are awesome. I wish I didnt know who Snookie is.
I don’t know, too, huahauhaua but I’m used to finding out about new celebrities around here! =P
This one, I don’t really feel like looking up. That (nick)name dismotivates me even more.
just what I was thinking when I saw that post. Who in the world is that girl and who gave her that god unfortunate nick name.
I love one pieces two, but not like she’s wearing.
I like this kind http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Swimwear/Bathing+Beauty+One+Piece+in+Violet and I think that it’s flattering on most women, but I can never find one in a 0.
I mean a true 0.
Not some vanity sized one.
*too
Uhhh by NO means does she look healthy to whoever posted that comment. She looks unhealthy, she’s overweight and there’s no other way to put it.
First of all,if you knew ANYTHING about snooki you would know she spray tans,not lay out or fake bake. Second of all,she’s so tiny and you can obviously see when smaller people gain weight unlike when youre tall and its more distributed. Plus she’s not even trashy please. If you want trashy look at Taylor momsen or the newly ‘improved’ miley cyrus. Honestly its sad that not one of you can stop judging and maybe think of something nice to say.
she’s the perfect reverse thinspiration
yeah her crotch looks weird… don’t think it’s a pad.. yuck. but i like the bathing suit…just doesn’t look good on her.
I think she equals provocative with trashy as f****.
Oh and on her “skinny” pic posted above, she doesn’t even look skinny. Just normal-sized, maybe thin. Just sayin’.
Nothing to do with either of their bodies: both of those swim suits are fugly.
Yeah, even forgot to mention! Agreed! xD
her quote is just bad. that suit does not do her justice. she should have went with a tankini instead.. it would have showed off her curves without showing her belly
This girl is just… so blank. It seems like all she thinks about is herself and her looks and its plain depressing to hear from her, every time.
you girls are a pack of vicious hyenas, your attitudes are way grosser than anyone could ever look
I mean to say SOME of you girls
she reminds me of a mole
I really can’t understand how this girl became a “beauty role-model”. Do American girls identify with this chick? There definitely are different beauty standards in US. I don’t want to be mean, but in Europe, this girl wouldn’t have a chance in showbiz. Now, being mean, she doesn’t have to walk, she can just roll like a ball
The only reason she’s famous is because she’s what most would consider trashy and people enjoy watching that for some reason. I’m not one to talk, though. I’ve watched the show before.
Some girls might identify with her, but the general population doesn’t.
She’s no role model.
She’s just entertainment.
I agree with you…. she’s very unnappealing to me. But thats just me. I’m sane unlike the rest of the country…..
And LOL to the “roll like a ball” comment =)
Wow- reading some of the comments and looking at the picture above is shocking. You’d think people were looking at pictures of a 45 stone woman with an oxygen tank and a wheelchair or something. I don’t personally see anything wrong with Snooki’s body- it’s not a figure I particularly envy but if she walked past me on the beach I’m fairly sure she would be far from the worst one there.
agreed!
I agree, too. I’ve noticed that people (including myself) tend to judge celebrities so harshly, when we’d probably wouldn’t do the same to “normal” people. But then again, I do know people who judge “normal” people for being “too fat” or having “bad skin”.
Personally, I’m fascinated by how dark she is and how ugly that swim suit is. I just think she’d be so much cuter if she stopped all the tanning and stopped making stupid “hot girl” duck faces. Not that she is in this pic. In fact, good for her for being chubby and going to the beach like that. I get a breakout and I want to hide all day. I’m jealous.
I think she looks Hot!
yeah shes so right because it leaves more to the imagination! everyone fancies that girl in the red one piece in the special k adverts.
a one piece is my only option no matter how thin i get!
She could have picked a more flattering bathing suit for her body.
Oh man, she is built!!!
damn right, finally someone with some sense!
LMAO!! dats all i gotta say. Cuz i kno you aint talking bout me
Ain’t nothin wrong with no Snooki oh yea I don’t care what you haters say I would still hit it, give her my number! LOL
its funny that because most people dont like her, they think its ok to insult and talk about her body and how fat she is all day long. dont get me wrong, i dont like her either but if this was about a loved actress everyone would be saying aww she is curvy or a real woman or blah blah.. very funny!
No no no way she is 110 lbs!!!There is just no way short, small, fat it dosen`t matter, she just is not 110.
Nicole Richie is 5`1-5`2 and about 100 lbs…
Nicole Ritchie is about 90 pounds, not 100.
There’s a 20 pound difference between 90 and 110. The density of fat is .9 grams/ml, so a difference of 20 lbs (mass) is equivalent to 9.1 liters or 2.4 gallons (volume).
I could easily believe there’s a 2.4 gallon difference between Nicole and Snooki. 2.4 gallons is a lot of fat on someone who’s only 4’10.
So far I’ve read mean comments about her figure, her weigh… Excuse me girls, but I don’t think a thin woman is prettier, only for being thin. People have their own way to sexyness, and sexy does not necessarily mean “thin”.
Personally, I think this woman has a nice body. I don’t like to look at a bag of bones like you people seem to do, rather I prefer to look at women like Snookie.
I don’t get why everybody is so obsessed with being thin, but I fin it very UNhealthy.
woah, thats just plain ignorant. I dont watch or like the show either but thats just mean. Why do you wanna punch her in the face??
Why yes! Let’s solve stupidity with violence!
::rolls eyes::
The majority of the comments have been beyond cruel. I can’t believe how malicious people are being. Isn’t this site supposed to be monitered? I’m sorry Versus but I really don’t think you are doing a good job at it.
For starters, I think all of this talk about her size is ridiculous. I personally don’t think her body is terrible at all. If you look at other pictures of her or see her on the show, you’ll notice that this is just a particularly bad angle. She’s not a thin girl, but she’s not at all fat. Her arms and legs are average, just short. She has a little bit of stomach fat, but it’s the combination of a lot of boobage and a waist that is naturally built wider on a short torso like that will automatically make it appear larger. I’m 4’10.5″, and let me tell you, when you’re this short, unless you have a very small frame, you’re going to look stockier than your taller counterparts. The shorter you are, the larger you’re going to look compared to taller people with the same size frame and body measurements as you, because visually, it’s much more compacted.
She doesn’t look unhealthy to me, I don’t think her body’s ideal, but she’s fine. And a little fyi to everyone talking about being “toned”- muscle tone is not dependent on fat distribution. And please stop saying “she has no muscle tone”. EVERYONE has some degree of muscle tone, it’s the natural state of certain muscles at rest. “Toning” is just another word for building muscle that’s more aesthetically pleasing to women.
I agree and Good for her, I hope she doesn’t lose any weight. It’s one of her trademarks and thank God she does wear one pieces or we’d be getting some sight!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what I think too, tbh: i have never watched jersey shore and think she’s superficial but I wouldn’t beat her up about her weight, she’s not obese or seriously unhealthy or anything, so she okay. The kini maybe unflattering but at least she’s comfy and appears happy and stuff…
my work out routines in a week:
- once in a week I go for a bellydance class for 1 hour
- once in a week, I run for 30 min or more
- twice in a week, I do some zumba for 40 min with some abs and some weight lifting for 30 mn
- twice in a week, I do pilates (mat)
- and as much as I can I do 45 min walk (maybe 2 or 3 times a week)
I eat a lot of fruits and I think I eat helthy even if I like sweet food. But I indulge myself once in 10/ 15 days.
well, with these exercices and my diet, who can guess I’m still chubby. Yes, I am and everyone calls me chubby.
Because I’m short and all weight is visible. I’m 4’9 (1m45) and I weight 45 kg. If I go on a diet, I will have to eat less than 800 calories to loose weight. For my height , I can eat 1200 calories.
Every pound counts when you are short. When I gain 1 pound, it looks like I gain 10. So to look like I loose 1 pounds, I have to loose 10 pounds.
I don’t watch her show, but I’m really shocked with people being so hard with others. yeah there are people who can’t be “thin” like top model because it is their body type. That’s all. Respect for everyone.
she looks so unhealthy to me and i dont see any curves at all..she just looks so round! and not in a good way.she weighs more then 110 pounds i dont give a crap what anyone says im 5’6 and 110 and she is 3x the size of me.i think she should lay off the potato chips and start munching on some lettuce leafs/carrots!!
this byatch is just totally crazy she is saying she is 110 pounds there is no way she is 110, she is just an UGLY,FAT LIAR
I think she’s cute. I never saw the show and dont know how trashy she acts, but based solely on photos.. especially the one above, i think she’s pretty dang hot!
all you girls that think 110 lbs is chubby no matter how tall a person is dumb and your real dumb if you think skinny is so beautiful ITS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! to thin is so so ugly you have young girls almost hurting thair selfs to be thin cuz of people like all of you, and i bet none of you are as beautiful as you think!!!!!when your so thin you have nothing up top or in the back it is uglyer than having a bit of a gut,a real thin women looks like a boy not a women at all!!!!!!only a gay man would want a sickley thin women with nothing up top or in the back.to have something up top is POWER,gut or not.
i bet all of the 110 and 125 lbs wemen get cheeted on cuz they have nothing up top or in back a real man wants a women to eat a nice chezzzzzzzz buger or pizza to keep that top big so they dont have to look in a mag to see a rack!!!!!!you 110 125 wemen i bet your man looks at other wemen who have a BIG rack gut or not.open you eyes you will see its true they look at wemen biger than you cuz they have a rack A REAL ONE!!!!!
I wonder if you “get cheated on” because your partners realize how idiotic you are and would rather be with someone who can spell.
I’m not even going to argue with you, because anyone of moderate intelligence can already tell how wrong you are.
I wouldn’t go out with her but yeah, I could probably do her. Just don’t tell anyone. Whatevahhhh!!!!
