When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen launched their menswear lines, their first “customers” were their respective boyfriends Nate Lowman and Justin Bartha. The twins gave Justin and Nate whatever they wanted from the lines and the guys like them so much they ended up wearing the clothes almost every day. They both have different styles, but somehow they agree on the clothes. Mary-Kate and Ashley were delighted and talked their guys into appearing in a series of ads promoting the clothing lines.

GET IN LINE! MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE SELLING CLOTHES OUT OF A TRUCK
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Fashion > Mary Kate Olsen > Olsenboye
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen work hard for the money. The girls have yet another clothing line – this is an affordable sporty collection called Olsenboye – aimed at teens for JC Penny. They’re promoting the new line in a pink ice cream truck that’s parked in a different NYC neighborhood every day. Clothes are both shown and sold from the truck and the money goes to charity. Cute idea. We hope to see the truck on Robertson Blvd. Posted by

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN ARE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

When is the last time you saw Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen looking so blonde – or so happy? The twins are in Canada promoting their “Elizabeth & James” fashion line on the Muchmusic TV show. We’re guessing they’re happy because, despite the recession, business is good for them. It’s not often celebrity designers can start off at Wal-Mart and end up at posh stores like Barneys. The Olsens still have their tween line at Wal-Mart, they have their Elizabeth & James line at upscale department stores, and their high end collection “The Row” at exclusive boutiques.

THE OLSEN TWINS JOIN FORCES TO HUNT FOR HANDBAGS

We haven’t seen Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen just hanging out and shopping together for quite awhile. After so many years of togetherness, they are, indeed, leading separate lives. Here they are in the handbag department in Barneys on Madison Avenue – we forget how tiny they are until we see them around a lot of normal sized people. Note Mary-Kate’s sheer shoes.

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN TAKE A BREAK FROM HIGH HEELS

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen had a business meeting in the fashionable meat packing district of New York. As usual, Mary-Kate is a little more accessorized than her sister, but we love how tiny Ashley looks in flat boots. (Especially compared to the giant behind her.)

MARY KATE AND ASHLEY ARE UNDAUNTED BY PETA
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Influence > Mary Kate Olsen > PETA
It’s time PETA figured out that personal insults are NOT the way to coax people into stop wearing fur. This is how they appeared at the Olsen twins book signing in Westwood at Borders. It’s enough to make you want to go out and buy something furry as soon as possible just to defy them.

Unruffled by the insults, Mary-Kate and Ashley must be at a good place in their lives. They look happier and healthier than ever. And we appreciate the fact that they don’t wear skin tight clothes like so many misguided celebrities do.

ASHLEY OLSEN'S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Influence > Weddings

Ashley Olsen really IS starting to distance herself from her more adventurous sister Mary-Kate. She promoted her book “Influence” on the Letterman show, and has never looked more subtle and sophisticated. Maybe the Enquirer was right when they claimed that she is planning to marry her actor boyfriend Justin Bartha next summer in the South of France with a million dollar wedding.

THE OLSEN TWINS ADD TO THEIR EMPIRE

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen look particularly healthy here as they promote their new book “Influence.” The coffee table book is all about the people who inspired the successful twins – from Lauren Hutton to Karl Lagerfeld. Still, the Olsens seem down to earth – one of the twins (our eyewitness can’t tell them apart) was seen at the Fairfax flea market lugging around a wrought iron 50’s telephone table she’d just bought, looking delighted with her score.

YOU KNOW THE OLSEN'S DESIGNS ARE SPECIAL IF MAXFIELD CARRIES THEM
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Fashion > Mary Kate Olsen > The Row
Last weekend we had our first hands-on experience with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s upscale clothing line called “The Row.” (It’s named after the sartorially famous Savile Rowe in London.) The Olsens are best known for their perky Wal-Mart designs but this collection is obviously a labor of love. It’s very expensive and only sold in stores like Barneys New York, Browns in London, and Maxfield. (These are the places the Olsens actually shop at.) Maxfield had their final markdown sale last week and we saw some of the Olsen’s lush merchandise, including black leather leggings. We found a pair of unusual long red sleeves reduced to $29 by The Row and we snapped them up.

ARE THESE PANTS FLATTERING?
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Fashion > Naomi Campbell

At first we thought these puffy pants were just an isolated fashion aberration on Naomi Campbell, but when Ashley Olsen was seen in the same week, sporting a similar pair, we recognized the beginning of a TREND. Maybe harem pants are a natural style retaliation for low-rise skinny pants. Worse of all, we might all be wearing these next year….

IT'S NOT OBAMA, IT'S MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY!
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Mary Kate Olsen > Real Estate
West Village residents on West 13th Street in New York have been wondering if a presidential candidate moved into the neighborhood. The streets are clogged with black SUVs full of bodyguards around the clock. It turned out it’s only Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. The twins rented a 10 room apartment with five bedrooms at the modest price (for them) of $12000 a month. One neighbor remarked that the girls “Certainly keep late hours. I was jogging early one morning and they were piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits.”

We find ourselves strangely attracted to these sunglasses that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are wearing – especially the ones on the right. Does anyone know where these glasses came from?

ASHLEY OLSEN SHOULD TAKE TIPPING LESSONS FROM BEN AFFLECK
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Tipping

Ashley Olsen “the healthier looking twin” might be a whiz at negotiating business deals but she has a thing or two to learn about tipping. It seems she has become a frequent customer at Terroni, the hot new restaurant on Beverly. Her favorite dish is the eggplant pasta. Ashley often picks up large takeout orders – over a hundred dollars worth – and, according to our source, she NEVER tips! Does this girl who carries $10,000 handbags think takeout means no tip? Even WE know better than that!

ASHLEY OLSEN LOVES FASHION AND GOSSIP

Olsen watchers might be interested to know that Ashley and her assistant were seen at the Fairfax/Melrose newsstand around noon. (At least we THINK it was Ashley – she looked rather healthy and wore a fedora and skinny jeans.) Ashley grabbed all the new fashion mags- including W and Vogue, along with all the gossip mags, and paid the $97 tab with her black AX card. The two girls hopped into her black Mercedes and were gone before almost anyone noticed them.

Who would have guessed the Miss Sixty fashion show in New York would draw such a stellar front row celebrity crowd? Here’s a hot group you don’t see together very often: Ann Hathaway (holding her boyfriend’s knee,) Chloe Sevigny (with long blonde curls,) Ashley Olsen (keeping her distance from Mary-Kate and the Heath drama,) and new mom Milla Jovovich (wondering if she’ll fit into those Miss Sixty jeans yet.)

AMY WINEHOUSE DRESSES UP FOR MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN
Filed Under: Amy Winehouse > Ashley Olsen > Mary Kate Olsen
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are in London to introduce their clothing line at Harvey Nichols. They had a party at a restaurant to celebrate the occasion and GUESS WHO showed up – everybody’s favorite Amy Winehouse. Amy is known for NOT attending even important events where she might get an award. But she and husband Blake were happy to get all dressed up to welcome Mary-Kate and Ashley. Do you suppose they talked about fashion? This picture makes us wonder what they were all thinking at that moment.

ASHLEY OLSEN ISN'T AFRAID OF HER FANS

Ashley Olsen popped into Moe’s flowers on Melrose Avenue, wearing a cashmere sweater with a marijuana plant on the back and tight jeans. She told the clerk she needed fifteen centerpieces – flower arrangements for a shower she was having for a friend at Chateau Marmont. She selected the flowers and was signing the charge slip when a cab slammed on the brakes outside the shop and three people jumped out. “It’s HER!” they squealed. The clerk looked worried when the tourists begged Ashley for a photo, but, according to our source, “she was very normal – sweet and obliging.” She said “Sure!” The fans went away happy and Ashley hopped into her black Mercedes SUV with tinted windows, and took off.

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN: LEGAL AT LAST!
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > Mary Kate Olsen
Don’t underestimate the smarts of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Last week they turned 21 and had their private birthday dinner with around twenty-five of their nearest and dearest at Chateau Marmont. On Friday they had a BIG fancy party for 200 at their house and not only didn’t have to pay for it, but they earned money from it. But it wasn’t as much as they had hoped. They offered exclusive rights to the party and photos to magazines – hoping it would fetch a million dollars. The highest bidder paid $250,000 for the party exclusive AND paid for the entire event – another $200,000 at least. It’s a nice birthday present.

ASHLEY AND MARY-KATE OLSEN: DOUBLE-OH-SEVEN
Filed Under: Ashley Olsen > James Bond > Mary Kate Olsen
Introducing the new Bond Girls: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen! One of the producers (who happens to be a female) of Daniel Craig’s next James Bond movie is very impressed with Ashley and Mary-Kate and really wants them in the 22nd 007 movie scheduled to start filming in 2008. The Olsens would be the first set of Bond twins. The producer is making the offer as appealing to the girls as possible – there will be no nudity or sex scenes. And the twins will play good girls – not villains. (ER’s Goran Visnjic is set to play a villain) The Olsens are seriously considering the offer. In the photo above, we’ve taken the liberty of morphing the twins photos with Bond girl Ursula Andress to give you a preview of what’s to come.
