Italy must have sparked Snooki’s creative flare. After Snooki Slippers and flip-flops, the Jersey Shore guidette announces plans to release a book, The Shore Thing, (where can we pre-order?) along with a sunglasses and jewelry line. Our favorite Polizzi also took a moment from filming in Florence to answer a few questions for WWD. The answers are pretty much Snooki in a nutshell:

At 20 years of age, Yael Aflalo founded her fashion empire YaYa Aflalo out in LA in 1999. Ten years into that business, she switched gears to and began reworking vintage pieces into one-of-a-kind designs. She opened The Reformation LA in 2008 with that concept, and opened this Lower East Side location a few months later.

I’ve just found what my favorite cousin (name not FLO) is getting me for Hanukkah. As per our current economic crisis, I am not surprised…
Description as follows
These slippers are:
* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the soles
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags.
And, in case your jealousy is enraged, you can make your own.
How to make bedroom slippers:
You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.
Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc…
