We’re obsessed with the Olsen twins! They’re super talented, super cute and make lots of fun things for any budget. Last time we were at WalMart we bought tons of their great shampoo that smells like cotton candy. It’s the best! Anyway, if you’ve enjoyed this site before, then you probably know that we are also obsessed with another pair of talented twins, Amy and Heather Sperber of 31 Corn Lane. This month we asked the super Sperber gals to read our latest addition to the book store, MK&A’s Our Story, and give us their full review. Wondertwin powers activate!

Amy : Heather, isn't it weird how much like the Olsen twins we are?

Heather: Yeah! They’re twins and we’re twins...

A: Exactly. But there’s more. Our Story tells us that Ashley is the older twin by two minutes. Weird! Yer totally two minutes older than I am! The eerie similarities just don't stop there, either! Mary-Kate and Ash totally love ponies. Sister Heather, you crazy love ponies!

H: I sure do. Ponies are my life. You know what else is bonkers? They're fashion designers and so are we!

A: I know, right? Even further, they self-release home videos and we self-release music with our band The Boxes... All four of us are just unstoppable lady entreprenuers!

H: You know what, though, since we are a tad older I can't help but feel like they stole our cheek to cheek twin pose. What gives!?!

A: I have to say, I really think everyone, whether they have a twin or not, would really enjoy reading about the Olsen girls. They’re really down-to-earth and so fun!

H: Totally, I agree. It's a super quick read, too! It only took me two subway rides - to work and back. Interestingly enuff, they also went through a period where Ashley would only wear spandex with fringe and Mary-Kate would only wear super baggy clothes... We went through that same phase, too! Swear!

A: Also, they’re off to college this year... We went to college! DOPPLEGANGERS FOR SURE!

H: I was thrilled to read their story, but I must say, the added full-color picture section was just the best. I am SO not even lying right now when I say that their little brother Jakey almost looks like our lil’ sis Teeter...WEIRD!

A: The girls are really just like you and me. They’re just regular girls who crush on boys who are cute-in-the-face. And after all the acting they've done, they still get a lil’ case of stage fright when they have to present an MTV Award to The White Stripes. I'd be frightened too! I mean, have you seen Jack White lately?

H: So, everyone, go out and read this book! And remember, next time you see the Olsen twins, don't go chasing them down the street ‘n screaming how much you love ‘em. Just stop and say Hi, cuz they are normal girls, just like everyone else!
