Orwell, meet Olsen

It was reported ages ago that Mary-Kate and Ashley are writing a coffee table book, and here, finally, is the cover of the over-dramatically simple Influence.


I just laughed a bit, first at the title, and then at these remarks from Ash and MK, respectively:

“Mary-Kate and I have filled Influence with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation."

“Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others."

Oh Olsens, only from you two would I accept such pretentious babble. With other 22-year-olds it just would not fly. I’m sincerely glad you’ve lived such interesting lives and I’m openly jealous of the liberties your bottomless bank accounts afford you.

Television, movies, clothes, lunchboxes and…photographic literature?

Sure, why not.

The book is set to release in late October.
