I watch the Olsen Twins tv shows and movies on the Family channel! When I'm in WalMart, I get really tempted to buy the assorted makeup and haircare products. And yes even the movies! And, I really wish I was a little kid so I could buy the clothes.
I think they were ugly babies but are cute/pretty now. I think if they weren't twins, guys wouldn't be so hot for them. It's not like they're projecting a sexy image, just wholesome.
As far as their personalities go, interviews that I've seen of them on tv, they come off as way less vapid than I expected.
And yeah, they got pimped by their manager when they were little, but I think they're all for it now. They're manager was quoted as saying that when he was first hired he decided that "These little girls will never have to work for anyone." And they don't. Everyone works for them!
