Inspire

For quite a few years now, I have been hugely influenced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's personal style, and so when I heard they were releasing a book based on those who directly influences them, of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

Luckily, my copy of the book arrived yesterday, and immediately I could sense how different this book was from other celebrity "written" books. You can tell that they had a direct hand in the book, and didn't just slap their names on the cover.

It's a collection of photos, quotes, and interviews with big name designers, photographers, illustrators, etc... All conducted by the girls themselves.

One of my favorite parts of the book is where Ashley and Mary-Kate have filled out a questionaire. Everyone has always seen them as the same, but their answers to these questions couldn't be more proof as to how different they actually are.

I'll call it the "Influence" questionaire, even though it really is a questionaire called "An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc."
