In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Jersey Shore’s resident new mama and munchkin mascot, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, took to the salon on Monday. Her stylist’s task? To transform Snooki’s normally super dark hair into the bright, fire engine red locks you see here. What do you think, Bettys? Hot or not?

I… think I might kind of like it a little tiny bit. In fact, the color isn’t too dissimilar from the one Ashley Greene debuted last month, and I dug it then, too. Apparently my love of the Manic Panic look transcends even my ideological issues with Jersey Shore. Who’d have thunk it?
