I've never really been compelled to write about celebrities or athletes or prominent, societal figures in this blog, but I've come to change my mind. Also a close friend, writing regularly about women she admires, gives credit to not only their strikingly good looks and accomplishments but also who they are, what they do and fully captures inner beauty (thanks Sus!). Despite how over-paid actors, sports announcers, athletes, talk show hosts, etc. etc. are, many go unnoticed for their acts of kindness, humanitarian efforts and overall down-to-earth personalities. For that, I'd like to pay tribute to a duo I've always admired.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Been a fan ever since I can remember. Even through their stages of drug abuse and rumored eating disorders, I knew they'd overcome the frowns and stares and media efforts to bring them down. And they did persevere, with beauty still intact.
They're young (only 24), multi-millionaires, successful in television, film, books, fashion and beauty cosmetics...and obviously they're twins (they're fraternal, not identical though!).
Very few young women professionals at this age have accomplished and fulfilled the goals these girls have. They started their acting careers at a mere nine months old all thanks to Full House. Not to mention I was a die-hard MK&A movie series fan growing up too. The girls have grown to starting, building and owning their own company (Dualstar Empire) to include the various books, films, fashion and music that have hit many tween faces and impacted their worlds.
Yes, so they might not be the all-stunning and peace bearing humanitarians like I truly admire and follow, but they've charged through society at every age and stage imaginable. Being in the spotlight from nine months old through 24 years old marks them as not only intriguing but well-worthy of their success and fame.
Kudos girls, keep on doing your thing.
