Mary-Kate Olsen’s fug crusade
Look, I like Mary-Kate. If you’re psychologically-inclined, you might say I’m obsessed with the little critter. This blog masquerades as a celebrity gossip blog but every other post I write is about you-know-who.
One of the things I like about MK is that, though touted as a style icon, she bases her look on a lot of fashion don’ts. Her appeal is that she wears things wrong. She makes shirts out of table cloths and blankets, cynching them at the waist with something she found at a car repair shop. On a bad day, you’d find her ripping apart a Vogue magazine rather than studying its photoshoots.
And yet her looks are irritatingly catchy. Here she is at cocktail party at Barney’s New York, wearing bronzer around her eyes, nude pink lipstick and a trench coat. The makeup strikes me as endearing, only because she looks like my makeup-challenged best friend from high school after a long, drunken night.
The stringy hair and the I-will-cut-you smile complete the look. Who knows what she’s got on under that trench. My guess? Pajamas.
She looks slightly out of it. I guess it’s the makeup, but she still looks good.
About Steve-O - I certainly agree with you. It really is funny how things happen, though.
