43380, SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY - Sunday August 8 2010. Jersey Shore star Snooki and a new gal pal hit the local amusements in Seaside Heights. Snooki and her new BFF went for a hand-in-hand stroll along the boardwalk before stopping off at the Beachcomber Bar and Grill for some lunch. Replete, the ladies then hit the rides, including Snooki and her low-cut top taking a risky ride on a bucking bronco.

The Jersey Shore star, real name Nicole Polizzi, doesn’t believe she is setting a bad example for impressionable young fans.

“I don’t think I represent anybody,” said Snooki, 22.

“I just go in and have a good time. It just so happens that’s the lifestyle here. I don’t think I’m a role model. I’m just a normal person.”

“I’m not trying to go out on the show and be like, ‘All right, all the little girls watch me and do this.’ When I see seven-year-olds, they’re like, ‘Oh, I envy you.’ I’m like, ‘Why? You’re seeing me party. That’s not something you should envy.’”
