The Olsen twins at The Chanel Fashion show
at La Grand Palais in Paris yesterday.
The 21-year old twin actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are adding another line to their extensive repertoire: authors.
The ladies are writing a coffee-table book about fashion titled "Influence," due to be published in Fall 2008 by Penguin Young Readers Group, Razorbill. "Influence" will include exclusive photos of the fashionistas by esteemed photographer Rankin, interviews and more from their personal collection.
"Influence" will feature shoe extraordinaire Christian Louboutin, actress Lauren Hutton, magazine journalist Bob Colacello and more of "the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know," Ashley Olsen said, sharing what influences and inspires Mary-Kate and her to pursue their fashion passion.
There's no doubt these two are an inspiration themselves. On Forbes "Top 20 Richest Women in Entertainment" in 2007, the multi-million dollar retail group owners are the youngest. The Olsen twins started Dualstar Entertainment Group in 1993 at age six!

two Starbucks Venti lattes.
The twins love coffee so much, their only request at a photo shoot besides food was being near a Starbucks to satisfy their Venti latte cravings. Who knows where they might be today without java to keep them going? (I'm just kidding; however, it's possible coffee had a lot to do with it!)
More recently, Gawker and E! Online teased celebrities, including the Olsen twins, ability to handle Starbucks' three-hour closing to retrain employees last Tuesday. The Starbucks cup, after all, is Mary-Kate Olsen's "most identifiable accessory," consuming two to four coffee drinks a day. Her espresso machine is her most-prized possession, she told W Magazine in their January 2006 issue.
Currently, Ashley Olsen is working on promoting her luxury line The Row for the fall season while Mary-Kate Olsen continues her acting career.
