The Olsen Twins have partnered with jewelry artist Robert Lee to create a line of jewelry with Mary-Kate and Ashley's "personal twist". The pieces are nice enough, but I didn't think they reflected enough of the Twins character. I took a stab at designing a few pieces of jewelry and of course, each piece is inspired by Olsen Twins gossip. They've been compared to troll dolls, little monkeys, and are often seen lurking about the streets of New York looking like shabby shopping cart-pushing bag ladies.
I spit out my drink laughing when I saw the golden shopping cart full of crap earrings. Plus those magic troll faces really do look a lot like the Trollsens.

In Japan there is a myth dating from the Edo era. It says that if the ghost of a spider monkey appears in a dream to a pregnant woman, she will lose her child. Though men consider this superstition, women who wake up from such a dream will still, to this day, rush to the doctor to get a check-up.
Okay, I made that up, there's no such myth. But there should be. I'm convinced these little spider monkeys are harbingers of death and if you ever see one on the street, you should draw up your will. You can just imagine one popping up at the most inopportune moment, lemur eyes shining in the dark, like something out of The Grudge.
The Olsens are also a walking reminder of how useless money is in our modern wasteland -- that is their good aspect. You see all these rich folk shopping at Target and eating at Taco Bell like everyone else. I'd like those "chimps with bankrolls" earrings for my greedy ex-girlfriend.

Holy Krunk! Someone else intuiively inncocently pegged the Monkey Face Twins for what they truly are.
They've been that in my head since they were Monkey Faced Babies.....

I have always thought they looked like little Troll dolls. I'm glad to see someone else felt the same way! ^_^ Keep up the good work!

wow, the bag-lady collection is stunning. those shopping carts are overflowing with divine glamour.
this is what celebrity lines would resemble if the public got to commission them... I still can't figure out who actually buys their crap.

Hopefully those two will take to heart all the 'troll' comments and do something positive for themselves (not only for their public image).

I can't imagine being worth billions and dressing as if I rummage at the nearest dumpster and land fill. Odd little girls.
And what was up with that immunity request? Got something incriminating to hide much?

They look like something out of a horror movie. They have no idea how ridiculous they look. This is hilarious 14!

I like the troll with the sunglasses. I want one of him inside a shopping cart.

14, you are the E.F. Hutton of pop culture. When you speak, I listen. Otherwise, I just don't pay attention to these little trollops (trollops are female trolls, right?)
Hey, I didn't see a sign that says, "Will speak under conditions of immunity." When does that one come out?

They are at best, trolls. They may be troglodytes. (Who dwell under bridges.)

When are their 15 minutes up?

They sure do take the "I don't care" statement way too far. Definately trying too hard to be different, quirky and cool. Wish they'd stop it w/ the stupid pout pose, not flattering in the least!

Oh 14!
I meant of the Trollson's take, not your version! I know your heart is pure, I didn't mean to infer otherwise. I meant to knock the self absorbed billionaresses.

Awe! Those little trolls really warm my heart up!

It reminds me a shirt that was designed by a famous brand I can't recall the name actually. Anyway, that was an expensive shirt and it said: "ANGRY, YOUNG AND POOR". I thought it was outrageous.

In a dream world, 100% of the profits would go to homeless aid - I'd love nothing more!

And I'm sure all the profits will be donated to the Homeless.
(I can't even type that with a straight face.)
