Oct 29 2008Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen sign things
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen signed copies of their new book Influence yesterday at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in New York City yesterday. The twins had a strict set of rules for the event that basically entails them sitting at a table like mute Muppets who can't believe they agreed to this. Here's the entire set of guidelines via Racked.com:
1) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will be with us for a limited time. They will only be signing copies of their book, Influence. They will not be speaking, reading or taking questions.
2) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen will NOT sign any memorabilia or product other than Influence. There is a limit of one book per person, and your one book must be purchased here.
3) You will be directed to pay for your book upon entering the store and will be given a receipt for your purchase. Please keep your receipt. You will receive your book at the signing table.
4) Along with your receipt, you will be given a B&N wristband, and then directed to the event space on the 4th floor. You must have a receipt and a wristband to access the 4th floor.
5) Anyone approaching the signing table must have paid for the book and be wearing a B&N wristband. One person, one wristband, one book.
6) You will collect your signed book at the signing table. If you have paid for any additional copies, a staff member will provide you with those before you exit the space.
7) There is no photography allowed. You must put away your camera or cell phone before approaching the signing table. The authors will not pose for photos.
8) If you leave, or the authors leave, before you are able to collect a signed book, you may present your receipt to a cashier for either an unsigned book or a refund. (Refunds only issued within 14 days of receipt.)
9) There will be no extra signed copies available after the authors leave the store. They will not be able to sign for anyone who is not on line. No pre-orders.
Since Mary-Kate and Ashley weren't doing a Q&A, I decided to skip the event and figured I'd post my questions for them to get back to me at a later date. Here goes:
1. Do you ever pull that trick where you take the glass out of a mirror and pretend you're the other one's reflection - then punch her in the face?
2. Not counting John Stamos, has anyone ever called one of you "Michelle" in the heat of passion forcing you to shriek like a vampire bat and fly into the night?
3. What was it like murdering Heath Ledger, and on a scale from one to 10, what'd you think of The Dark Knight?
Looking forward to your answers. Cheers!

3. bunny-foo-foo - October 29, 2008 12:49 PM
I'd walk up to them and ask:
"Wow, are you guys still alive?"
4. Ze German - October 29, 2008 12:51 PM
WTF: "The authors"?!
I fucking hate their guts!!!
This list is so ridiculous...
5. Missy - October 29, 2008 12:56 PM
What a joke! They are sooooooooo full of themselves!
6. mamadough - October 29, 2008 12:58 PM
i highly doubt these two coked-out freaks of nature had any responsibility in writing this book. their involvement was probably limited to having someone read it to them, twirl their hair around their fingers, smack their gum in their mouths, and say "sure, that sounds good."
7. Dragon - October 29, 2008 12:58 PM
Weren't they at one time these totally hot under-aged babes that everyone was counting the days until they turned of legal-age, so that we could start lusting after them without guilt, or some shiz?
What the frack happened? After all that, they give us this? What a let-down. Boooooo! :(
8. hendero - October 29, 2008 1:02 PM
The Soup Nazi's rules were less stringent. These girls sound like a regular laugh a minute.
9. Uncle Eccoli - October 29, 2008 1:02 PM
What despicable little hobgoblins these two are.
10. Jimbo - October 29, 2008 1:08 PM
Wow, they almost look normal. However, give them both giant boob jobs and they would be Pam Anderson mini mes..
11. jlylec - October 29, 2008 1:08 PM
together they are sexually intriguing...individually they're kinda trolly...it's strange.

When I went to the Beatles convention in Las Vegas last summer; Pattie Boyd who is the former Mrs.George Harrison/Mrs. Eric Clapton/former model/photographer happily signed my book called Wonderful Tonight by Pattie Boyd which is a fabulous book, took a picture with me, and chatted with me too. And Pattie was willing to sign anything. These twins could learn a lot from Pattie.

Question #3- seriously fish?? I think even rough daddy could think of something more humorous to say to his ham sandwich, which, coincidently, is the only thing that will listen to him..
Hi Jimbo!!
14. CaptainMorgan - October 29, 2008 1:16 PM
Wow. These two still look like malnourished little dolls that were found in the ditch. Besides being twins, they should try to actually do something. Eating would be a good start.
15. Parker - October 29, 2008 1:16 PM
here's another pair of midgets I'd like to buttfuck. Stick my cock up their little asses and watch their midget legs wiggling around trying to touch the ground. It'd be hilarious.

17. mamadough - October 29, 2008 1:19 PM
@12, yeah well, pattie let me crap in her mouth and then took me out to a nice seafood dinner.
18. Jimbo - October 29, 2008 1:20 PM
@13 Hey Veggi how are you doing? And you are giving the Ham sandwich way to much credit..
19. bart - October 29, 2008 1:26 PM
too much makeup and too much leather pants. suriousley guys??
20. Rich W - October 29, 2008 1:26 PM
"3. What was it like murdering Heath Ledger"
Wow! That's pretty low, even for you Mr Superficial Writer.
Nice!
21. Ed Castillo - October 29, 2008 1:35 PM
Anyone ever do twins? I came close.
22. Jrz - October 29, 2008 1:35 PM
The one in the black has had a nose job.
23. p0nk - October 29, 2008 1:36 PM
an oversized but thin, glossy picture book called "Influence". Pretty appropriate, I'd say.
24. Deacon Jones - October 29, 2008 1:47 PM
Question #4 - How many full grown men do you believe masturbated to you before your 18th birthdays?
25. Jayger - October 29, 2008 1:51 PM
They sound worse than the Soup Nazi...
26. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 1:52 PM
lol Hey Veggi can you get me off your mind for a second? btw hand over those pics....
27. A Woman - October 29, 2008 1:55 PM
I have trouble believing these twin twats actually have "fans". Besides, haven't they fleeced enough brain-dead Americans out of their hard-earned money yet? The rich truly are society's biggest parasites!
28. hedgehog - October 29, 2008 1:58 PM
Am I mad, or is the one in the white shirt the better looking of the two ?
29. Jayger - October 29, 2008 1:59 PM
Heh... Douchie said "Hey Veggi can you get me off"
30. Kellie - October 29, 2008 2:00 PM
Obviously no one has ever been to book signings in their life. These are the general rules governs all book signings not just MK and Ashley.
31. B - October 29, 2008 2:03 PM
So, the book is called "Influence" I hope they mean under the influence and not how they influence people....unless they mean they influence people to die...in which case it works well. Stupid bitches.
32. veggi - October 29, 2008 2:04 PM
@29- Hey! I just had lunch!!
nice one p0nk!!
33. Lisa - October 29, 2008 2:05 PM
Boy these two are really strange.
34. wtf - October 29, 2008 2:12 PM
I don't like the troll sisters either, but these are not their rules, they are typical rules for a book signing at barnes and noble (or any other book store). They want to get as many suckers lined up for signing as they can, hence no talking, and they also don't want you bringing a book you got for free, or worse bought somewhere else. The whole point of the book signing is to increase sales (trust me, I used to work at Borders.)
35. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 2:23 PM
I just received an anonymous email stating pic # 10 is actually Veggi with pink sweater and double cake...
36. p0nk - October 29, 2008 2:24 PM
besides... does anybody really want to hear them talk?
37. Max Planck - October 29, 2008 2:28 PM
At first thought it was Mary Kate posing with Heath Ledger as the Joker. The caption says that's the twins I see.
38. p0nk - October 29, 2008 2:31 PM
#35 ever notice how insults backfire when your grammar and spelling make you look like an idiot? "double cake"? what?
39. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 2:32 PM
cake? wtf
40. the fugly twins - October 29, 2008 2:33 PM
at least they don't look like friggin bag ladies like they normally do.
41. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 2:34 PM
Dont you worry about that Punk,,,appropriate name for you i see....
42. Sport - October 29, 2008 2:47 PM
I dunno, I think they look kinda hot.
Not used to them not wearing Glad Bags as fashion statements and smearing their eyes with mascara and letting it bleed.
43. Jimbo - October 29, 2008 3:03 PM
Hey p0nk,
As you can see Rough Daddy is the new Superficial whipping boy. He loves to be abused. Treat him like the bitch he is..
44. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 3:08 PM
Hey Jimbo? he or she will soon realize youre just a disgruntle rough fan,,,
45. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 3:11 PM
Jimbo? you said before said this punk was missing in action? he/she probably finally paid his light bills so now hes back and just found out theres a new sheriff in town....
46. AteIsEnough - October 29, 2008 3:18 PM
I have identical twin daughters, and they don't freak me out like these two alien-like beings. Creepy!!
47. Wendy - October 29, 2008 3:23 PM

Not really because people are typing fast at work and off the cuff. The point still comes across.
48. Jimbo - October 29, 2008 3:24 PM
@45 OK Barney Fife..
49. p0nk - October 29, 2008 3:25 PM
hey jimbo. how's it going?
50. Rough Daddy - October 29, 2008 3:27 PM
Jimbo? can make any reference relates to this century?
51. sameshitdifferentyear - October 29, 2008 3:32 PM
rule #10)
The authors will be provided a generous serving of bananas every hour, on the hour. Just to look at, prior to going into the bathroom and doing another 2 lines each.
#11) The authors will be provided 10 minutes every hour, to pick insects out of each others' hair.
#12) Under no circumstances, shall the authors sign any book
"The Two Albino Chimpanzees"
despite the fact that it is much more accurate than their actual names.
52. Randal - October 29, 2008 3:33 PM
It's like looking at a reflection of beauty on beauty.

Toliet humor are for people that have nothing witty, funny, or clever to say.
55. crazypants - October 29, 2008 3:47 PM
They're always so uncomfortable looking. I know being a celebrity pays really well and lets you nail one-balled steroid abusing athletes and provide safe havens for your junky friends to kill themselves in - but they always look so uncomfortable dealing w/ the public.
You'd think their "fans" would catch on to that and let them fade into obscurity.
56. jt - October 29, 2008 3:58 PM
they look beautiful
57. Chauncey Gardner - October 29, 2008 4:07 PM
I wonder if they've ever both had diarrhea at the same time?
58. superflous - October 29, 2008 4:15 PM
#22 I think it's just make-up, if they decide to get a nose job, they're gonna do it together, imho.
59. black - October 29, 2008 4:20 PM
Ok, more of the first two questions please, and less of the third one.
Am I the only one finding the last question in bad taste? C'mon. There's jokes, and there's jokes, and there's the third thing which is just terrible.
60. NY Ted - October 29, 2008 4:21 PM
What kind of book? What the fuck is it about? Here...I'll give you a condensed version:
We were born twins
We acted (if you call it that) in a hokey TV program that sucked
We began snorting coke
We fucked each others boyfriends
We made a horrible B movie together
We have never done another thing with our sad pathetic lives
End of story
61. Jrz - October 29, 2008 4:24 PM
57!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
62. LawnGnome - October 29, 2008 4:31 PM
They look better than I've seen them look in a while...
63. Jamie's Uterus - October 29, 2008 4:39 PM
What the Hell is this book about? What 'influence' do they have? and on whom? These 2 act and look like the 'children of the corn'. Remember that Steven King book and movie?
64. sarah - October 29, 2008 4:50 PM
ugh i was at this event and it fucking SUCKED!! i got there at 12:30 only to find out u had to buy the book to see them. so i bought it. then i found out u cant buy it at a certain checkout and, AND, when u 'buy' it u get a wristband and then wait in line, give them ur receipt, and they give u a signed copy of their book. i would have done this, except the organizers then said i wouldnt be able to see them anyways bc the line was too long. so bogus!!

omg, that pink cake girl in pic 10 is fucking retarded. don't make fun of funny looking retards ya'll!
(close your mouth, girl, the drool is hitting the floor)
69. The Doctor - October 29, 2008 5:44 PM
so yeah I definitely think these two had a hand in Heath's death and were able to use their billionaire influence to buy their way out of being part of the investigation. Not only did he die in their apartment but just think of all the drugs these two do. No doubt with that kind of access that its possible they supplied all those pills.

She is so cute!!!!!!!!!!! ome of her fans found her on a fitness & celebrity dating club ==mysportsdate.com==She has a personal account there with her pictures, blog and something about her albums...In her friend circle, some other stars c San be found there.
73. friendlyfires - October 29, 2008 6:31 PM
These are boilerplate booksigning rules.
ROOLZ R 4 FOOLZ
When the Olsen wenches stop by my neck of the woods, I'm gonna' give their Bar-farts and Ig-Nobles handlers heart attacks. You betcha' I'm bringing some Full House memorabilia but not for them to sign - to bless. Roman Catholic rites are good enough for me but I'll accept Eastern Orthodox rites as well, but none of that Nestorian crap gotta draw the line somewhere. I'm not buying the book - I'm stealing it - worked for Abbie Hoffman. Then I'll steal the receipt off someone else and demand a refund, that way, it'll constitute a real theft, instead of positive reduction of inventory. Since I'll be wearing garlic and that weird chocolate deodorant that turns you into Easter Candy, you betcha I'm gonna date both of 'em, but time is precious, so we'll do a floor show for the rubes. Might as well make it an edu-ma-cationg moment.
74. Tom - October 29, 2008 7:26 PM
What do these trolls know about fashion? When you're 4'10 and 80 pounds, you could look good in a potato sack for god's sake. It's so easy to pick out outfits when you don't have to worry about any womanly features such as breasts, waists, hips, etc.
75. James - October 29, 2008 8:12 PM
