I can't remember the last time I read a full celebrity profile in a glossy publication, but I was completely engrossed in the world of burgeoning sex bomb/media tycoon Ashley Olsen. Although I love the wild grunge baby that is her twin sister, Ashley has always struck me as the sexier, smarter, and more fashionable one. I hate to say one is more desirable than the other but with Ashley I imagine an evening of dinner at Mr. Chow's, a Fassbinder film at her townhouse, and making out in the alley behind Bungalow 8. Any objections? Nope, didn't think so. Here are some choice quotes that make Ashley seem like she has a sense of humor and she's a young woman in control of her image and destiny:
"I'm surprised to find Olsen looking the epitome of chic, swaddled in her sheer white tee (black bra visible) under a chocolate-brown leather jacket, a stretchy black mini outlining her curvy butt, and a black patent-leather Alaia belt shaped like bat wings, cinching her like a wasp. Her perfectly turned, tan legs resolve in a pair of sky-high Louboutin pumps. And on her arm, a vintage Fendi bag she could probably fit inside. 'The next one I want to get is the crocodile Birkin, but that won't be for a while. Crocodile is my fa-vorite!' she says, quietly singsonging that last word."
"Bensley presents her with a design for the label that will be sewn into the clothes for The Row. Examining it, Ashley says the dimensions should be reduced by 30 percent. Then Bensley offers a swatch of suede with an ingeniously fringed surface. Ashley lunged for it, buries her face in it. Rapture. 'This would make the sickest jacket,' she says, wrapping the piece around her arm. 'Mary-Kate is gonna shit herself when she sees this.'"
"Inside the factory, crammed with bolts of cloth, sewing machines, and wardrobe dummies, Ashley strokes, tucks, tweaks, and takes the meature of a fit model in a sleek stretch-leather mini, a miraculously simple little back dress -- pulling her hair back in to a chaotic knot while whispering instructions to the seamstress like, "Increase the shoulder seam three-quarters' and 'It has to be tight enough so that her crack doesn't show when she bends over.' It's hard to picture her enjoying anything more. Nothing flaky or diva-like about it -- she just really loves doing this work."

i just got this issue today, and i still don't really understand what the big deal is. she makes the same face in every pic and the whole thing is her with messy hair trying to be androgynous.
i do not understand the appeal with these two. she/they will always be michelle tanner to me, and the pinnacle of their acheivements will forever be coining the phrase "How Rude!"
i will cut them some slack, however, in hopes that maybe they can do something a little more substantial with the absurd amount of money they have and maybe do something interesting acting-wise.
