Hairy Kate and Trashley

Well, here I am, back in the US for the election.

Yesterday I went to a book signing by the Olsen twins at Barnes and Noble. Nearly. First of all, the signing was on the whole top floor, which they blocked off. Then, you had to buy the book ($35) before you could go upstairs. I heard one man with his young son - they made him buy two copies.

I saw some stickered copies of the book hidden behind a pillar - at 20% off - they'd obviously removed these from the book signing.

The twins weren't going to personalise copies, just sign their names, and you weren't allowed a camera. What a rip off. I even overheard a Barnes and Noble employee saying to her colleague "Have you seen the book? It's just a bunch of photographs of them." It was true. There was no way I was paying $35 for it.

There were PETA protestors outside, with Hairy Kate and Trashley masks. But MK and A went in the back entrance, so I don't think they got to make their point to them personally.
