Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are actually 24 years old, though from looking at them you might assume they’re a pair of twins in their 80s. They’re like a couple of wealthy Upper East Side eccentrics who stroll about in the afternoon with their bejeweled Affenpinscher puppies named Rotunda and Princess Penelope, stopping to have tea with members of the Bouvier family on Persian rugs on the steps of the Met.

The challenge is at hand: can you tell the difference between Ozzy and Olsen accessories? More »
Sometimes we actually buy the rumors that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are actually two separate entities, but other times we’re not so sure. In does kind of make more sense that they’re one single magical creature, attached somewhere below the neck with two identical blonde heads. The amazing, mythical Olsen! More »

The other day I put on heels for maybe the fifth or sixth time in my life, sacrificing my feet to a pair of Olsenboye studded pumps from JCPenney. And I got dumber immediately! Meaning I spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to take a photo of my outfit that captured my shoes but didn’t get the edge of the table in frame. As you can see, I did not succeed.
