Parents need to know that this site is an infomercial for the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand, with little real content.
There are quite a few fashion tips at this site ("Bright striped turtleneck from the mary-kateandashley brand, available first at Wal-Mart --$12.48"), as well as makeup hints ("Lips--pretty up your pout here!") and horoscopes ("Stay strong by wearing an opal pendant or bracelet! This beautiful gem is known to prevent jealousy in Libras -- plus, it looks great with any outfit!"). Other links take you to Mary-Kate and Ashley screen wallpaper, a gallery of their nine albums, recorded between ages 6 and 12, and to the companion sites all about their many movies.
It's just so hard to find the actual content at this Web site, since so much of it is obscured by incessant marketing messages. What a disappointment. The "Speak Out -- Real Talk for Real Girls" is really just a poll with several canned answers. One thing that doesn't seem to be on the site at all is a biography of the Olsen twins themselves!
Families can talk about celebrities who use their fame to sell products. Does seeing your favorite star wearing a particular fashion brand make you want to buy it? Why or why not?
