Mary-Kate Olsen was interviewed by Christopher Bollen for Interview magazine on Inauguration day. They talked a bit about politics ? it was hard not to that day ? but most of their interview focused on Olsen?s fashion empire. She and sister Ashley have built up quite a business, and are becoming more and more respected in the fashion world. And all this came from a girl who admitted she never paid attention to clothes growing up, and her first favorite item was a pair of spandex shorts. With fringe.
CB: ?you’re one of the very few actresses of your generation to cultivate your own style, totally original and authentic. When did that start for you?
MKO: For me, it really started by looking at people. There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you’re walking down the street, or you’re at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they’re wearing-into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves.
CB: So you’re more inspired by the street than you are by Hollywood.
MKO: Some people are natural beauties, some have great style, but sometimes it comes from talent. Take Kate Winslet: I was listening to her speech at the Golden Globes. That woman has so much intensity. She’s amazing to watch and to listen to. With some people, it can even be their voice that makes them attractive.
CB: Did you buy your own clothes as a kid?
MKO: I never went shopping. That wasn’t my thing. I grew up horseback riding. That was my passion. I didn’t start shopping until about 16 or 17, whenI could drive myself to stores and explore on my own.
CB: When you’re that age, clothes become a way for you to figure out what kind of adult you’re going to be. It’s a testing ground for your personality, a way to show up as an individual. Your body is the first thing you stake claim to. Do you think that because you are a twin, interest in dressing your own way was even more amplified?
MKO: Well, until we were 13 or 14, if my sister and I did an appearance, we would be wearing the same outfit. [laughs] It would be the same dress and we’d fight over who would wear it in red and who would wear it in black. That was obviously for work. But ever since I can remember, we dressed completely differently. Ashley would wear really baggy clothes and shoes that were too big for her, and I think my first favorite clothing item was a pair of spandex shorts with fringe on them! Leopard and white spandex.

There were a lot of the traditional Olsen interview questions too, and I feel like a lot of that has been beaten to death. Yes, we know Mary-Kate and Ashley are different people. Yes we know they have very different interests. Mary-Kate did talk about the media a bit, and while she expressed some mild frustration she was polite about it and didn?t completely go off.
CB: I was worried that New York was becoming like L.A.-no more just letting everyone alone.
MKO: Everyone has the right to that freedom, right? Everyone has that right. It’s freezing in New York right now. In L.A., it’s sunny. But I would choose freezing over being followed.
CB: It’s kind of impossible not to ask you how you feel about the world prying into your personal life. How do you deal with it? Do you just say, “Okay, I’m not going to take any of this personally. Fuck them.”
MKO: I definitely don’t take any of it personally. You learn how to have a sense of humor pretty quickly. I honestly don’t keep up on it unless it’s something that would hurt someone else. I can take care of myself, that’s not the problem. But it’s just not fair to bring anyone else into the picture.
CB: I was going to try to go the whole interview without asking you about the media. But of course I Googled you to check what the gossip had going. I saw a recent one that actually speculated when you and Nate [Lowman, the artist and Olsen's current boyfriend] were going to get married. It said, “Can we expect the marriage vows soon?” I thought, Jesus Christ, that’s dating pressure.
MKO: [laughs] And you know Nate . . . It’s one thing after the next, the most far-fetched thing that could possibly be said has already been said. There’s nothing I can do about it really. They have the freedom to write whatever they want.
CB: Yeah, it’s the first amendment.
MKO: I don’t know. I wish it weren’t so abused.
[From Interview]
As a writer ? writing about other people ? I don?t think the first amendment is generally all that abused. But I?m never the subject of the writing. I can imagine how the person being written about ? especially when it can be somewhat unflattering ? would feel differently. The Olsens do seem to have more privacy in Manhattan, and aren?t followed as much as they are in L.A. Mary-Kate says she appreciates that, and it must be nice to live a more normal existence.
It?s good she?s learned not to take gossip personally. We are going to write about them ? if no one cared to, then the Olsen Twins should be worried. That said, you never want to actually hurt someone?s feelings. Although I definitely hear reports of diva behavior on occasion, I?m normally fairly impressed by both Mary-Kate and Ashlee when they?re interviewed. They certainly know how to present themselves well when they?re in professional situations.

In a renewed effort to get some attention for their cause, it looks like anti-fur activists are resorting to vandalism to get their point across. The Hollywood Walk of Fame has recently had two stars defaced, including the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen star and the Sharon Stone star.
We all know that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are fond of a mink or two.
But there’s a price to pay in Hollywood if you’re a fur-loving celeb.
And it ain’t pretty folks…
The twins have been targeted by anti-fur campaigners in a major way, with their star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame being vandalised.
…The girls’ star has been defaced with the scathing words “Fur Hags”.
And it seems that MK and Ash aren’t the only ones copping some flack.
Sharon Stone’s star was also attacked with the words “Old Fur Hag”.
We wonder if Sharon was more offended by the word hag or the word old?
[From Showbiz Spy]
Wow, how old are these anti-fur crusaders — eight? Maybe next they will release a “slam book” to the public, where they write all kind of mean things about celebrities who wear fur. Because they are at about that same maturity level right now. Are they really expecting to win over any converts with this behavior?
I think it may be time for PETA and the rest of the crew to hire a new PR firm, because their recent antics make them look even worse than the people who are buying and wearing fur. I also read that the Hollywood Walk of Fame Committee has installed surveillance cameras recently to monitor any kind of vandalism of the stars - so watch out, boneheads!
Mary-Kate Olsen is shown out in a big blanket-looking jacket in LA, yes LA, on 12/20/08. She’s also shown in NY on 1/20/08. Ashley Olsen is shown with an orange bag shopping on 11/24/08. Credit: Splash News.

Not only does Ashley Olsen think her shit don’t stank — she also thinks it won’t make you sick, either. According to Page Six
Ashley Olsen [left] the bathroom at Regal Cinema in Union Square without washing her hands after seeing “Revolutionary Road.”
E. coli bows to no man, people. E. coli doesn’t care if you’re a “celebrity.” E. coli doesn’t care that you once boned the bassist from Sugar Ray in alcohol-and-ecstasy filled stupor in Amarillo in 1998, which you know for a fact actually did happen because one of your friends found the footage on the internet and put it on their MySpace. Oh, no. All E. coli cares about is your asshole and finding the quickest way to get there. Much like the bassist from Sugar Ray in 1998.

Mary-Kate Olsen appreciates the advantages of the recession. While the rest of us are panicking and stashing our cash in our mattresses, uber-wealthy Mary-Kate is looking at the bright side of things. How? Well all the sales on luxury goods of course! Instead of spending $42,000 for that fancy ostrich skin Berkin bag, Mary-Kate can get it for a paltry $35,000. Who said the economy is all doom and gloom?
MARY-Kate Olsen has found the silver lining in the recession. A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. “It’s really sad - the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales,” said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. “That’s where I got this! The recession!” Olsen ogled a $410 menorah and pillows and throws for her bed, but didn’t buy them.
[From Page Six]
I love that Mary-Kate thinks the recession is a place. ?That?s where I got this! The recession!? She makes it sound like it?s that store around the corner. On the one hand, it?s sort of annoying to hear someone so wealthy talk about the recession in terms of the material stuff she can buy for less.
On the other hand, considering how much they?re worth, the Olsen Twins could singlehandedly shop the country out of a recession. So it?s probably not prudent to actually chide Mary-Kate for mildly insensitive comments ? the more tacky clothes and giant sunglasses the Olsen Twins buy, the better for the economy. Now if only we could convince them to start snatching up real estate and Detroit-built cars, we?d be all set.
Here?s Mary Kate Olsen leaving a cafe in Los Angeles dressed in what looks like a blanket on December 20th. Images thanks to Splash.

Leave it up to Mary-Kate Olsen to look at the bright side of things. While everyone else watches their future spiral down the drain, Mary-Kate is finding great deals on clothing.
A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. “It’s really sad - the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales,” said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. “That’s where I got this! The recession!” Olsen ogled a $410 menorah and pillows and throws for her bed, but didn’t buy them.
Mary-Kate then described the delicious food they served at homeless shelters which can be easily stolen from the hands of those weak, frail bums and the cute puppies that those kids with cancer won’t be needing anymore. That song was right. This is the most wonderful time of the year.

Getting back to her homeless look, Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted patiently awaiting her driver after eating at Cafe Vida in the Pacific Palisades on Saturday (December 20).
With unkempt hair and dressed in what could be best described as a blanket-like garment, the “Full House” starlet did her best to keep warm in the unseasonably cold California weather.

Making her rounds in New York City, Ashley Olsen was spotted out for a stroll earlier today (December 16) looking focused.
The “Full House” hottie was looking city chic in a black wool overcoat and sunglasses teamed with a beige top, black leggings, and black shoes as he passed the paparazzi.

There’s nothing like a Brad Pitt movie to get the ladies to sit up and take notice. And last night Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted at a screening of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
The former “Full House” cutie arrived at the Pamella Roland and Svedka Vodka-sponsored shindig, held at the Tribeca Grand Screening Room in New York City, looking stylish in a black dress underneath a black duster jacket with black stockings and funky black heels.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Kirsten Dunst got into a fight last Wednesday in Miami, according to Page Six. Both were in town to attend the Art Basel convention, and were sitting together at a party. It?s not clear whether they were sitting by each other because they were friends or because someone sat them next to each other, but either way some sort of argument broke out between the two of them.
THE Art Basel convention in Miami has always been more about the parties than the art, but some revelers seem to be taking the concept to a whole new level.
Pint-sized Mary-Kate Olsen has cut a particularly wide swath through the town. On Wednesday night, Olsen and Kirsten Dunst got into a heated argument while sitting together at Audi’s party at the Delano in South Beach. “They just kind of stared at each other for a long time and then started exchanging nasty words,” says an onlooker. “Then Olsen just got up and left. She’s been going really late every night.” Olsen and her boyfriend, artist Nate Lowman, were also out until dawn with DJ Paul Sevigny at club Bella Rose the night before.
Says another partygoer at the Delano: “She looked like she had not brushed her hair in a week and she was chain-smoking the entire time and sitting like a sourpuss with her boyfriend. She was acting very oddly.”
[From Page Six]
I would really love to know what the nasty words were. I imagine Kirsten Dunst can throw out some low stuff. Just something about the look of her. These girls actually strike me as very similar. They both have odd fashion senses, look waifish, have gone to rehab, and are still known to really love their alcohol. The only significant difference is that Kirsten is about a foot taller.
In other Olsen news, Mary-Kate?s been fighting pregnancy rumors because she?s gained some much-needed weight recently. However it seems she put on a few pounds for some other reason, because she was seen downing quite a lot of alcohol during Art Basel.
TINY twin Mary-Kate Olsen is drowning the recent rumor that she is with child. The other night, Olsen and boyfriend Nate Lowman hit the Art Basel scene at the opening of The Station, an art exhibition in Miami that he helped curate. A spy told us Mary-Kate was smooching with her beau and smoking and drinking vodka cocktails all night, supporting her spokesperson’s recent announcement to Page Six that “there is absolutely no truth” to the rumor.
[From Page Six]
So I guess the epic Olsen/Dunst fight wasn?t because of raging pregnancy hormones or anything. Mary-Kate looks much better than she used to, though it sounds like she?s hitting the bar a little heavily. Just because she?s not quite as scary thin as she used to be doesn?t mean she?s a big girl by any means. I?m surprised she can hold as much liquor as she does. But now that the pint-sized twin has proven she?s not pregnant, it?s time to lay off the booze.
Here?s Mary-Kate out with boyfriend Nate Lowman and some friends in Miami on Thursday. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.
