Influence, by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
(Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008)
The Olsen twins thought your coffee table looked a bit naked. Enter the 272-page hardcover tome titled Influence, and it features, well, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s influences — 22 actors, artists and designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin and Lauren Hutton — and transcribed conversations with each of the admired. The wee moguls have snuck in never-before-seen snapshots of themselves, plus personal mementos that offer a bigger glimpse into the world of these billionaire look-alikes and how they single-handedly made “homeless-chic” a positive fashion statement. Oh, how Michelle Tanner is long forgotten. Rather than ordering Influence online, buy it with your bare hands — and decide if it’s Mary-Kate or Ashley you want on your cover.
