schlomo:

If you are into 20yr old documentaries of youth from New Jersey talking about life, then THIS IS A MUST-SEE. It’s the Jersey Shore without the MTV and people from Long Island!

I would love to find the whole doc somewhere. Preferably on VHS.

This is gold. This is exactly what The Boss was talking about in ‘Glory Days’.

From the producer’s website:

This film takes you down the shore with an all-women crew to Wildwood, NJ, the last great American blue-collar seaside carnival town. Wildwood, NJ moves beyond gum-cracking, big hair, and press-on nails to look into the souls of women raised on the boardwalk’s rides, lights and come-ons.

Grandmothers and go-go girls; girls who work as vampires in boardwalk haunted houses.  Tween girls stretching out on their first trip without their parents: young, rangy a little drunk on Bud, dukes up, nose open, with a cuppla’ bucks to burn.

A Wildwood honeymoon, virginity lost to a boardwalk stranger, fistfights, madness, babies—and no matter what—returning to Wildwood year after year as they grow up and grow old.
