Is Southern Charm an Upscale Version of Jersey Shore?

I remember the early promos for Jersey Shore highlighting the cast and their excessive amount of hair products. The press made fun of their accents, hair styles, and fist-pumping ways. When the show went to air, people scoffed at their excessive drinking, inappropriate behavior, and lack of sexual discretion, especially on the part of the male cast members. Some thought the show would be a gigantic bust. It was much too ridiculous after all. But it was like a fiery train wreck. We couldn't look away. Saturday Night Live welcomed "Snooki" to Weekend Update with Seth Meyers. You know you've hit it big when SNL uses you for material. All of a sudden, members of the Jersey Shore cast were making over $100,000 an episode. I don't know if that makes things more or less ridiculous. Regardless, the show was a hit. All that partying paid. As the new Bravo show Southern Charm comes to air at 10:00 p.m. tonight in Charleston, the city it uses as its backdrop, I can't help but wonder if it is simply a gussied up version of Jersey Shore, with the bottom line being a buck.

Conquering the Cooper River Bridge Run

I grew up an only child, and I was very much a girly-girl. My cousins would all tease me when we played baseball or basketball at family get-togethers. I was tall, lanky, scared of the ball, and very uncoordinated for the first 19 years of my life. In junior high and high school, I was a cheerleader, which didn’t require much exercise other than stretching. At the age of 15, I picked up golf and made all my dad’s dreams come true. He was an avid golfer my whole life, and he had always wanted me to play. I realized that I had finally found a sport in which the ball was sitting still instead of flying at my face, so I decided to give it a try.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.
