Two Virginia Beach locals are one of the first people to take Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi up on her offer to party for pay.
"We wanted to do a Jersey Shore party, party planner Justin Ballard tells Life & Style. "We had the idea that we needed to get some sort of celebrity to bring more folks in." So Justin and his co-host, George Fox, "did some research, and we found out you can rent Snooki."
For a fee of $2,000, plus hotel accommodations and travel expenses, the boys are proud to announce that Snooki will be at Peabody's in Virginia Beach on Feb. 12 for a Valentine's Day bash. Price of admission is $10, with drink specials running all night.
"She's pretty high maintenance," Justin tells Life & Style. "She wanted to fly first class." The party planners' personal Snooki requests include taking photos with fans and, if willing, doing back handsprings.
Within 24 hours of posting an invitation on Facebook, the Jersey Shore party already had 200 confirmations. There's no specific reason for throwing this blowout with Snooki as the guest of honor, Justin tells Life & Style, "it's mostly for our egos."
