Doesn’t it seem like a million years ago that creepy men everywhere were counting down until the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday?  Ahh, memories.

Shall we have a little trip down memory lane?  It’s interesting to see how the twins’ look and vibe dramatically and suddenly shifted when they hit 18.  And, I’ve realized that, while I may not always agree with Mary-Kate Olsen’s fashion and beauty choices, I adore her willingess to experiment and mix-it-up.

More pictures after the jump!

Fess up: did you guiltily watch—nay, love—all the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies back in the day?  Don’t play like you didn’t see at least two seconds of When in Rome or Passport to Paris or Holiday in the Sun while flipping the channels on a lazy Saturday afternoon!  (I’d find them while babysitting and coerce the kids into watching.  Child abuse?  Nah.)  Of course, it seems like another lifetime, since MK and Ash have since grown up and gotten embroiled in scandals and gone to rehab and pioneered Homeless Hobo 2000 chic…basically doing everything in their power to make us forget they were ever two fresh-faced, apple-cheeked child stars.  Mary-Kate does July Elle, looking IMHO not as gorgeous on the cover as she can…but seriously sizzling in the other photos.  The fabulosity of her perfectly tousled hair makes me weep.

Please don’t yell at me, but there is something about Victoria Beckham that, inexplicably, I love.  So much of what she represents is kind of icky and sad…and yet she actually seems like a really cool, family-oriented, savvy, fierce chick.  (At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what I think about Posh, since she’s laughing all the way to the bank and I’m just sitting here dumbly pondering whether she’s genius or ridiculous.)  This Juergen Teller-shot Marc Jacobs ad campaign makes me feel similarly meh?  On the one hand, what in God’s name is going on here?  And why?  And, just, ew.  Yet, on the other, these are the most interesting, unsettling advertising images I’ve seen since the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Badgley Mischka-meets-The Shining campaign from two years ago.
