Mary-Kate and Ashley: Double Trouble in Little China

Teenage girls ain’t buying it. They’re being firmly (and successfully) targeted at the tween (7-13) market. They’re perfect for the age bracket - older and more sophisticated, but doing nothing edgy to freak out the parents providing the cash. Do you really expect any 16 year old girl to have an interest in the Olsen twins - “Well, I got my driver’s license today, so I think I’ll celebrate by dressing up my Mary Kate and Ashley dolls, while watching Mary Kate and Ashley: Winning London

And in line with this, the perfect crossover would see the girls going to Hogwarts School and meeting Avril Lavigne there.

I’ll try again :roll eyes:

Harry Potter and the Sk83r Twins. I love it.

Who the heck put a ‘3’ in there?

The 3-fairies did it. Th3y can b3 pr3tty p3sky at tim3s. Damn fairi3s!

Fa3ri3s, 3v3n. :wink:

God, that is annoying.

It’s the 733T fairies! (or whatever…)

I’ve seen them in person and can’t see them having much of an adult career. Unless they hit a growing spurt in the next couple of years, they will be playing teenage roles into their 30’s. Maybe they can get roles as Hobbits in the next series of J. R. Tolkien movies. They’re bodies are very small and their limbs are stubby. They are almost Dwarvish with heads that are too big for their bodies. I can’t recall any major film or stage actress being so short and stubby. Sure, there are some short female lead actress’s but they are well proportioned so they don’t look small on the screen.

If they don’t try to make a big jump from tween movies to more adult movies, they might have a chance. Maybe they should go on SNL and be given very adult themed roles? Maybe as a gimmick they split up, each having their own acting style and therefor making a career for themselves. Maybe one can get her own sitcom. 10 years from then they can have a big reuniting on the big screen.

Harry Potter and the sk8er Twins is an inspired idea. Anyone care to offer a synopsis?

This is good. What we need is good twin/bad twin. One can be a movie star/model, the other can descend into drugs, depression, madness, and murder.

Or maybe they could both go both routes. A new E! True Hollywood Story!

I’m not sure about drugs, depression, madness and murder. That may be a little over the top. However, sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll, definitely. Perhaps Ashley could continue in the all-American wholesome vein, modelling for Talbot’s and acting in Little House on the Prairie: The Next Generation, Mary-Kate could break free from the shackles of mass marketing and go on tour with her own heavy metal band, thus expressing herself the way she always wanted to.

I’m not certain what the band would be called, but I’m certain that some of you can help.

Creepazoid Sapsucker and the Phlegmy Leeches

I don’t know about a plot synopsis for Happy Potter and the Sk8r Twins, but I reckon the soundtrack will involve a lot of Wah-Wah guitar, saxaphone solo’s and 80’s reject lounge synths.

bow wow wakka chikka galore.

No it won’t, it will all be slightly angsty teenage punk rock-light by Avril Lavigne. And Mary-Kate, obviously.

What Ever Happened to Baby Ashley?

MK You would’nt be doing this if I wasn’t stuck in this chair!

A But you are stuck in that chair! You are!

Either that or Mary Kat and Ashley are murdered by Zebra.

Mary Kate is totally the hot one. So much hotter then Ashley. Ashley’s, like, a total slut, d00d. :wink:

For some reason I have always been more attracted to mary kate. I dont know why, maybe its the characters she plays, or maybe just her name. For whatever reason, she is totally the hot one.

Mary Kate really is the hotter of the two.

No, you’ve got it totally wrong, guys. Ashley’s the talented one. Mary Kate is dragging her down!
