I had an epiphany the other day. One of the girls in my lab was ragging on the Olsen twins because there was some picture online where Mary Kate was dressed like a homeless person, and I was defending her right be be eccentric, when suddenly I realized...I'm pretty sure that Mary Kate and Ashley are two of the most badass ball-busters out there. Think about it--most child stars react to their stardom by becoming spoiled and petulant, being uncooperative on set, becoming famous for their hard-partying ways, and then dying of a drug overdose when their fame fades because they can't cope with the anonymity. MK and Ashley, on the other hand, did the following:
1. Came out with a series of irritating yet successful children's videos
2. Started their own production company, and appointed themselves executive producers when they were like, five or something.
3. Started their own clothing line.
4. Started their own jewelry line.
And now they are starting an upscale clothing line which is expected to sell extremely well, and are billionaires at the age of 21. Or 22.
Granted, one of them had an eating disorder for a little while. Granted they smoke like chimneys and drink way too much Starbucks. Granted they go through men like I go through movies from Netflix. But I personally think they look really glam doing it.
In conclusion, the moral of the story is they have both earned their right to be weird and kind of crazy. And even if you don't like them they could probably buy your love anyway.
