And i thought i couldn't hate fashionista more...
How childish
How childish
Plain Ashley and what MK eats
The Olsens were on Oprah yesterday – most boring interview ever.
Seriously…
You’d think the Mighty Opes would slap her big stick around more often, non? She’s Oprah. She could have asked them whatever she wanted to. Instead though, Oprah decided to throw softballs and spent too much time discussing with Mary Kate and Ashley what they like for breakfast.
An entire conversation ensued about bagels and omelettes and soy milk.
Riveting.
They were there to promote their book Influence – something about art and style – and their new clothing line. The twins insisted that they go to work everyday and don’t party like their peers. Right. They also shot a short segment during which they interview each other.
As you would expect, MK looks like an old lady who is cold all the time, so cold she’d probably shiver in a desert.
And they both… speak… so … slowly. Like they’re underwater. Like their mouths have to work extra hard to push the words out. Makes me want to rub my jaw. It’s exhausting just watching.
Anyway, check out Ashley at the Fashion Group Night of Stars event last night looking as plain as Jennifer Garner and just as old. Even the shoes were boring! Ashley revealed on Oprah that she’s a homebody. Clearly this is the new image we’re trying to cultivate.
Yes exactly!Yeah cause buying a bagel and taking it home to toast by yourself is just not done anymore...LOL
Oh I ripped them a new one because I was so annoyed with it....<3Thefrenchy said:And i thought i couldn't hate fashionista more...

I believe Fuller is their mother's maiden name, I'm not sure why Ash was given that as a middle but it's possible they just couldn't think of anything better.
yea I remember that too, that´s why I wrote mary kate not mary-kate haha.^actually kate is her middle name, cause before her name was split in two and when they were around 10, for marketing reasons they decided to change Mary kate for Mary-kate... I read this a while ago, I surprised me a little bit and that´s why I still remember it.
We don't understand why the Olsens bother doing things that garner publicity. Because when they do, their fans crawl out from manhole covers with heightened interest in them. And then the Olsens are expected to feed that interest by talking to the media and even interacting with those fans in person. Shudder. So while we are enormously grateful for their new book, Influence, because it truly is a good read, we don't understand why they put themselves through the sheer visibility of it all. Before Influence they never talked to reporters at events, though they had no qualms about posing for photos. They barely talked to magazines who did cover stories of them. And now they have to go on Oprah, where the conversation is limited to breakfast (never eating disorders! Oprah tried). They held a party for the book at Barneys last night but didn't want reporters to cover it. This afternoon they signed books at Barnes & Noble. And they did everything they could to ensure extremely limited interaction with their fans, including handing out a list of rules to anyone who wanted a book signed, which Racked got ahold of.
1) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will be with us for a limited time. They will only be signing copies of their book, Influence. They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions.
2) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will NOT sign any memorabilia or product other than Influence. There is a limit of one book per person, and your one book must be purchased here.
3) You will be directed to pay for your book upon entering the store and will be given a receipt for your purchase. Please keep your receipt. You will receive your book at the signing table.
4) Along with your receipt, you will be given a B&N wristband, and then directed to the event space on the 4th floor. You must have a receipt and a wristband to access the 4th floor.
5) Anyone approaching the signing table must have paid for the book and be wearing a B&N wristband. One person, one wristband, one book.
6) You will collect your signed book at the signing table. If you have paid for any additional copies, a staff member will provide you with those before you exit the space.
7) There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cell phone before approaching the signing table. The authors will not pose for photos.
8) If you leave, or the authors leave, before you are able to collect a signed book, you may present your receipt to a cashier for either an unsigned book or a refund. (Refunds only issued within 14 days of receipt.)
9) There will be no extra signed copies available after the authors leave the store. They will not be able to sign for anyone who is not on line. No pre-orders.
The Olsen trolls left their post at the bridge today to sign copies of their pretentious book at Barnes & Nobles in NYC's Union Square today. The book weighs more than the both of them combined.
The little evil trolls were greeted by the b*tches from Peta who dressed up for the occasion and stood in the rain. I know what I'm going to be for Halloween now....
I bet the Olsens would take "fur tramps" as a compliment. They probably smiled at Peta hos and said, "Aww. prune. Thank you. prune. That's sweet. prune."
Here's the Olsen trolls looking kind of clean (?) while signing the book of a really hot fan today.

The Influential Market
The Olsens at their book launch today – some kind of coffee table piece, something to do with what influences them style wise…but marketed to whom?
Do you really need to know where MK found her billionaire street urchin flavoured inspiration? I’ve no problem ripping off her vibe now and again but I don’t give a sh-t where it came from…
Do you?
Maybe if you’re 15, right?
Therein lies the rub: they can never grow up. In that respect, Mary Kate and Ashley aren’t so different from Avril Lavigne.
Oh snap!
But at the very least they look better. And they do look beautiful. Especially now that neither appears to be alarmingly thin. LOVE Ashley’s leather skinnys. LOVE, as always, MK’s kinky waves. LOVE their addiction to black eyeliner. And word is what happened in January scared Mary Kate straight.
