In a weak moment of consumerism (I was buying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at the grocery store), I picked up the ELLE magazine with Mary Kate Olsen on the cover and decided to buy it solely because Mary Kate was on the cover. What a terrible idea! Mary Kate looks way better in any unstyled paparazzi shot than she does when she’s posing and wearing someone else’s clothing. The article wasn’t even any good either. I never seem to learn my lesson about the low quality of American fashion magazines. Hey, at least I haven’t bought Vogue in…I don’t even remember the last time I bought Vogue.

I totally agree! I bought that issue as well hoping for a different take on an Olsen interview but I was sadly disappointed with paragraphs about their baby stardom on full house and other boring tidbits that everyone has already known for years. I also felt as though I had seen her in photos like those in other mag spreads. you're right, she does look better in photos of her taken on the street.
Not all American fashion mags are as terrible as Elle. Nylon is pretty high quality. Terribly hipster-esque, with well written articles.
