Ahh the "staten island girl" what most describe as a rich, trashy, overly-make-up'ed, tight-pants wearing, coach bag carrying girl with an obnoxiouss accent(etc)
I will not claim that this breed of miserable-ness does not exist on this island (because sadly it does) i would like to point out that there are girls, mostly residing on the North Shore, that detest this stereotype.
In fact, there are some of us that:
-have no accent at all(baffling i know)
-actually left the island for college & whatnot
-hate wearing too much make-up
-refuse to buy coach bags (or only buy the leather ones without the C insignia so no one knows)
-own many pairs of sweatpants and non-matching hoodies that do not contain an ounce of velour, andd wear them out in public
-do not wear high heels to "the mall"
-work and own their own bank accounts that contain their hard-earned cash
**-make fun of boys with the blow out
***-get really pissed off at the girls that do NOT make fun of boys with the blow-out because that just makes them think its okay, and it not
-enjoy getting their real nails painted, and actually kno what their real nails look like without acryllics
-do not have lifetime memberships to the tanning loft, body tan, hollywood tans etc.
-cringe when people ask where their from (because that inevitably is followed with a joke about either coffee, the dump, traffic, or just laughter)
-have goals other than marrying someone rich and moving to a nice gaudy house in todt hill and/or annadale
-refused to watch true life: i'm a staten island girl out of sheer embarrassment OR watched it and just felt embarrassed for the girls on the show...
you get the idea.
We are few but we do exist.

A "Staten Island boy", in the Caucasian sense, is usually of Italian descent (there is, however, a heavy smattering of Irishmen; and Albanians and Russians to a lesser extent). A Staten Island boy is often misappropriated the title of a "guido". A guido is usually from New Jersey, Long Island, or Westchester. A Staten Island boy will usually be seen wearing a Sean John or Lacoste track jacket, baggy jeans, and white sneakers, whereas a guido from New Jersey or Long Island would tend to wear A/X. Diesel, and striped button-up shirts, tight jeans, and dress shoes. However, the biggest difference between a boy from Staten Island and a "guido" is the hairstyle. A guido will usually have their hair spiked-up, or styled with gel in some other way. A Staten Island boy, however, will usually have a shaved head. The "spiked-up" hairstyle (as seen on "Growing Up Gotti") was NEVER a style worn by boys on Staten Island. However, around the year 2000, a similar style was popular. This style was made up of a "tape-up" (short hair faded from the skin into the top from the back and the sides), with gel applied to the top to make it look "curly" rather than "spikey". This style was emulated from the Puerto Ricans at that time who have hair of the same texture as the many Italians of the borough. Today, on the other hand, most boys from Staten Island style their hair in the "caesar" style or, more commonly, completely shaven. Staten Island boys mostly listen to hip-hop music, and never house music (guidos), or Eminem, which have also been misapplied. Staten Island boys have New York accents, whereas people from New Jersey typically don't (LI and Westchester to a lesser degree). A Staten Island boy will typically have more in common with a boy from Bensonhurst or Bay Ridge, Brooklyn rather than NJ, LI, or Westchester.
A staten island boy is NOT a "guido".

The act of driving up alongside stopped traffic and pulling your car into the front of the line rather than waiting at the back of the line.
Rather than wait in line to merge onto the parkway, I did the Staten Island Shuffle.

A high stakes game of composure played while riding the Staten Island Ferry where you have to make eye contact and salute the Statue of Liberty while receiving manual stimulation from your significant other (or a friendly stranger).
True liberation cannot be attained until you've experienced a Staten Island Peekaboo.
Its a used condom floating in or around the East River or any other virulent, disease infested, filthy dirty body of water in NYS ..
"Wow I was docking my boat and noticed a Staten Island jellyfish floating by...EEEWWWW Gross"
Women (all caucasian) in Staten Island all get their breast augmentation at the same place, so all the women over forty have identical looking aftermarket breasts.
I can't wait to hit the Midland Beach this summer to see all that Staten Island Plastic laying out gettin some sun...
When you leave a reeking fart just before exiting a subway car, so that the doors close and lock the victims inside with the smell.
I left a beautiful Staten Island Stinker on the 6-train this morning. I think I might have killed someone's poodle.
